An illustration of Frodo and Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings, in Bag End. Frodo is on the left, holding an envelope; Gandalf is on the right, blowing rings with his pipe smoke. A large smoke ring rests in the middle of the frame, circling the front door to Bag End. A line of Dwarven runes borders the image on the top and bottom. Underneath all the imagery is the following text: ‘This is the One Ring that he lost many ages ago, to the great weakening of his power. He greatly desires it — but he must not get it.’

A 2-panel comic titled "INFINITY HAT." In the first panel, a crudely-drawn Thanos from Marvel's Avengers comics and films is sitting at a desk behind a computer monitor, his fingers hovering over the keyboard as if typing. He is wearing a gold hat embedded with coloured gems, resembling the infinity gauntlet from the franchise. The second panel is a reverse shot of the monitor, which shows a search engine called "Goggle," and the query entered in the search bar: "HOW DO I SNAP MY HEAD." The comic is signed on the bottom left: "HAYES."
An illustration of the character Samus as depicted in the game Metroid Dread. Samus, in her power suit, peers around a corner in the foreground. In the background, out of focus, an EMMI strides from left to right. Between them, the "METROID DREAD" logo is superimposed over a horizontal black smear. The illustration is rendered with clean black line art with block colours and shading, using a limited palette of blues and pinks.
Artwork (key colour line with bold colour fills and hard shading) of three mimics (monsters from Dungeons and Dragons lore). They each have a single green eye and a slobbering purple maw, sticky with slobber and lined with razor-sharp teeth. On the left is a mimic disguised as a chair, rearing up its front likes like a horse, and the backrest is opened like a mouth. In the centre is a wooden chest gilded in gold, its lid opened up like a mouth as in the traditional depiciton of a mimic. On the right is a table, rearing up slightly, an enormous pink tongue lolling out of its underside, in which can be seen another wide mouth.
An illustration of David Tennant as the 10th Doctor. He is staring into the "camera" with an intense expression and holding out his left hand in a dynamic pose. The artwork is coloured in an abstract way - yellow for the highlights, pink for midtones, a red/deeper pink for the darker midtones and maroon for the shadow. The backdrop is a bright/deal blue with a halftone pattern and tiny pinpricks of white stars.
Artwork (key colour line with bold colour fills and hard shading) of three green-skin goblins clad in red. They are brandishing worn, angular scimitars and wooden shields bordered with metal. The goblins each have a single tuft of orange hair in a ponytail; the left goblin's hair is orange, the centre goblin's is blue, and the right goblin's is pink.
A colour illustration of a fantasy character with black line work. A male halfling dressed in rough leather armour holds a small handaxe aloft in his right hand, his mouth open as if mid-warcry. On his feet are boots fashioned from wolves’ paws and he wears the pelt from a wolf’s head over his own as a hat. The image is captioned “GROGG.”
A short looping animation of three ancient egyptian gods, illustrated in line art and block colour, hovering idly over a dark navy night sky. From left to right: Horus, a winged man with the head of a falcon, wearing a tall white crown and drawn with a bright blue outline; Bastet, a woman with the head of a cat and a long tail shaped into a heart, drawn with a bright purple outline; Ra, a winged man with the head of a falcon and a serpent coiled around a red orb hovering above his head, drawn with a bright green outline.
