The 2026 version of the illustration by itself. It's drawn in a more painterly style and with a more complex colour palette. The two men's embrace is also more intimate and overtly romantic the in the previous two versions.
Three versions of the same illustrations - the first drawn in 2006, the second in 2016 and the third in 2026. The drawing depicts the characters Touya and Yukito from CardCaptor Sakura in a romantic pose. The difference in style and quality between the illustrations is significant.

An illustration of three characters from the webcomic Shaderunners; Pamina, Ezra and Easton, standing on a small theatre stage framed by Greek-style columns with statues of the fictional Gods Zoll and Ara. The characters' backs are turned to us, and Ezra is gesturing toward an illustration of the city of Ironwell, which makes the "background" of the theatre stage. The illustration is largely monochrome, but the factories in the city's depiction emit green smoke.
