An intricate black and white art nouveau-style illustration of an older middle-aged man and a dog. The man's right hand is covering the bottom half of his face and he's staring intensely into the camera. He is sitting with one leg up and one leg hanging down, though this is obscured by a border. He is wearing a loose fitting, traditional medieval style overcoat belted with a sash. There is a geometric pattern covering the coat and he is wearing a plain sepia-toned dark turtleneck underneath. He is adorned in several necklaces - one with three bells, one with various beetle-shaped beads, and a final, much larger one with very large clay beads almost in the shape of paddles. The dog is a Sarplaninac, a balkan sheep dog. He is also staring very intensely into the camera, looking haunted and a little gaunt. There is an intricate border framing both of them, with spiraling vines coming up both sides an a large beetle and pomegranate decoration in the middle. There are two orbs - one in the top left showing lightning, and one in the bottom right showing fire. There is a bushel of lavender in the bottom left, and wolf's bane in the top right. In the very background there is an image of two lambs laying down around a central star. There are 8 additional stars in the background surrounding the central lambs.
A watercolor and acrylic painting of a Great Blue Heron being run through by barbed wire. Blood is staining the herons feathers where the wire goes through. The wire is branching out from the body and meeting in the center in a sort of star shape. The heron is a gradient of blue to red, red being at the bottom. It's eyes are bright red, contrasting with the blue. There are many additional eyes peeking out through the feathers on it's neck and chest. It is surrounded by spiky, toothy black bramble and heron skulls that also have red eyes. I'm the background there is a giant golden moon, and around the moon are red and black marble swirls. In the black swirls there are teal barbed wire esque spikes and gold, many pointed stars. There are golden oyster mushrooms sprouting from the moon.

A partially deep brown and white illustration of a dark skinned man sitting next to a sarplaninac sheepdog. Both are looking into the camera, and the man is wearing a loose patterned shawl over a dark brown turtleneck. He is adorned with several necklaces of varying sizes including beetles and bells. His hand is in front of his face, his skin and eyes the only things colored in. His skin is brown, his eyes are yellow, and there is red fading from his fingers into his hand.

A cropped screenshot of a color illustrated comic panel. A dark brown skinned man with a short greying afro is walking (profile view) along a path wearing a long black trench coat with a magenta lining and plain khaki slacks tucked into black boots. His hands are in his pockets, coattails billowing behind him in the wind, and he is smoking a cigarette. Behind him are rolling green hills and large puffy thunderclouds. Two speech bubbles are coming from him reading "Mhm." and "Sure." as he is responding to someone off screen.

In the foreground, a dark skinned man with a greying afro wearing a white tank top undershirt is clutching a pile of clothes and personal effects, and is peering nervously over his shoulder. In the background, a tall dark skinned man with long cornrows and wearing a dark robe is annoyed and listening to a younger man, with long curly hair and his back to the viewer, excitedly explain something.

A black and white digital illustration in a graphic novel style of two middle aged men from the waist up. The man on the left has dark skin and a short afro. He is wearing a trench coat with a popped collar and a light shirt underneath. His hands are out of frame, probably in his pockets. The man on the right has slightly lighter skin and cornrows with silver jewelry threaded through them. He is wearing a plain sweater vest over a button down. His right hand is resting on the top of the hilt of a sword on his hip, and his left arm looks as though he may be leaning on a surface. Their faces are close, sharing an intimate moment as the man on the left uses the lit cigarette of the man on the right to ignite his own.

A digital illustration of two older, dark-skinned men sitting on a couch. One man, with a medium length greying afro and a pastel green button down, is sleeping, draped across the lap of the other man. His left arm rests across his nose and eyes in an attempt to block out the sun, which is casting through a window behind the couch. His other arm is tucked under a pink and purple patterned pillow. He is wearing khakis and his shoes are still on, one leg propped against the arm of the couch, the other resting on top of it. His shirt is half tucked in, entire demeanor askew as if he collapsed in the middle of getting comfortable. On his chest, there is an orange and white striped creature that looks halfway between a cat and a ferret. Its exceptionally long limbs are reaching up, front two paws curled around the hand of the other man, claws out, and he is biting. The other man has cornrows and is wearing a light maroon shirt and grey khakis. He is broader and taller than the sleeping man. One arm is resting across the back of the couch, the other engaging the orange creature in play. His legs are propped up on a partially visible coffee table, crossed over one another. He looks relaxed, and a speech bubble appears before him reading "ow...". Beneath them there is a silky blue blanket covered in star patterns, barely visible in the shadows. On the coffee table there is an open book, an empty coffee mug, a used napkin, and a plate with a half eaten biscuit, as well as an untouched confectionary. There is a side table next to the couch, it's face covered in an astronomical pattern. It holds an empty crystal class and two cigarette butts, as well as a third in the glass itself. The wall is made of thick brick and there are two lush plants on the windowsill. On the other side of the couch leans a basket hilt sword. There is a belt on the floor, and a colorfully lined trenchcoat draped over that corner of the couch. The scene is bathed in the warm glow of morning sunlight.

A digital drawing of two men standing in the shadow of a sandy bricked building. The building is featured from a slightly skewed perspective, looking up and diagonally slightly so that you can see the wooden beams of the underside of a balcony. The building has two sets of intricate stained glass windows featuring diamonds, red flowers and green vines as the main panels and a rising yellow and blue sun up top. There are four more small square windows sitting just below the underside of the balcony. The two men are facing the viewer. The man further back is completely in shadow, has lighter brown skin and cornrows with milky silver eyes, and is wearing a black cloak with a gold lining. There is a simple sword on his hip, and he is inhaling on a cigarette, eyes cast away off to the side as if he doesn't want to make eye contact with the viewer. The man in the foreground is only partially in shadow, the sun casting over his outstretched right arm and hand in the immediate foreground. His skin is darker brown, his hair is greying at the temples and is worn in a short fro. He is wearing a plain light blue button down and a black and magenta coat is slung over his left shoulder. There is a silver basket hilt sword on his left hip. He is extending an unused cigarette to the viewer and looking at them directly with golden brown eyes. His hand is covered in burn scars.

The hatches go every which way, and are eclipsed only by a single golden sun. In the water there is a face peeking out, staring at the sky with one hand gesticulating up and the other lazily drifting in the water. Besides this, there are various other organs in the black water scattered about the foreground. These include, from left to right and top to bottom, a stomach, a heart, a liver with a gallbladder, ribs, and several tubes of large intestines. These are all white with minimal shading.

One man is lounging across two chairs with his feet up, leaning back on the other and looking at him sidelong. He is wearing a shirt with decorative arm bands, and loose pants tucked into work boots. A cigarette is hanging out of his mouth and he has a secretive expression on his face. The other man is grading a paper on a scroll sitting at a table, holding a quill in his left hand and hiding his face with his right, not looking at the first man, but smiling. He is wearing a cloak with a fancy gold chain and a sweater underneath. The table is littered with papers and has a water carafe that is mostly empty. On the left are three bug like creatures haphazardly stacked under a cloak. The most prominent one is wearing a hat with a feather, and she looks angry. She is glaring at the first man and pushing on his legs, which are blocking a through-way.

The other man has his cheek in his palm, turned slightly away from the first man, and from context clues we can see he is leaning on a surface of some sort. He is hiding his face from the other man, and he is smiling, looking down at something in front of him.
