I'll go clockwise from the top. The large creature appears to be a kind of alien monster. Next, we have some abnormal humanoid figure with a hook at the end of its arm. Then, the hooded figures, believed by some to represent members of an existing secret society. The shadowy faces of 2 can be seen, but to the slight left behind them I see the top of another hood. We also see an odd tentacle, like that of an octopus, except rather than suction cups the underside has a plated scale covering like the underside of a snake or dragon. On the ground appears to me Old Man McGucket's hat. The Summerween Trickster wore a similar hat, but it is most likely McGucket's hat in the picture. Now, we can easily see that Dipper has Journal 3 back, and Mabel is ready to use her grappling hook more. However, the ground they are standing on is an image of Bill Cipher. In the shadows behind and below, there are bones. On the left we see Stan's fez, along with 2 more tentacles. Then we see Blendin Blandin, gesturing silence as if to keep quiet about something. Behind him appear to be zombies, creepy. Above them is the Hide Behind, seen only once before in Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained. And, of course, in the center of it all is a portal like the one Stan opened at the end of season one. There is so much more to be revealed, and so little of it is hinted at in this artwork alone. There will be new characters, including villains and love interests, as told in the press release, and scarier creatures. These are just a few reasons to be excited for season 2.
