[ID: A hand holding a black and white illustration on tan paper with uneven edges. Behind it is a white tapestry with a pattern made up of illustrated green leaves, slightly out of focus. The illustration is a black heron head looking up in profile view and to the left, its beak slightly opened. It sits in a white circle and has sketchy white details. The drawing crops at its neck in the bottom right quarter of the circle. In a larger circle surrounding the heron head are vines with wild geraniums with stylized leaves and thorns. Most of the thorns, vines, and leaves are colored in black, but some are just a white outline. Some plant material breaks out from a larger circle behind them and the heron drawing Over top of the roses radiating out from the center of the heron’s head are sketchy white lines. The paper is thin, and has a scaled pattern to it.

Image 2: cropped version of the previously described illustration. the photo goes to the edges of the page, and the illustration is centered. the radial lines on the top and bottom of the page are slightly cropped.

Image 3: crop on the heron’s eye and beak. details in the feathers and beak are more apparent. The crop cuts off just before the neck, the tip of the beak, and most of the vines and flowers.

Image 4: crop focusing on the geraniums and vines. The crop only showcases the top right quadrant of the piece, cutting out all but the top of the Heron’s neck, most of the white circle, and most of the other plants. /end ID]

[ID: Digital Illustration of two people swimming; one human, the other merfolk. The ocean background is only a rectangle, the rest of the page having an off-white, textured paper border. The charcters overlap the ocean background, and the pieces that arent in that smaller rectangle are more vibrant instead of looking as if they are underwater. The human character, a girl with a long, dark brown braid, is on the left hand side floating slightly above with a surprised expression. She has brown toned skin, a nose piercing, an anklet, and shark tooth necklace. She is wearing clothes: A dark crop top, and lightly colored shorts and open, button up shirt. In her right hand, closer to her side, she is holding a golden, glowing trident with rope around the middle. She looks down at the merperson, who turns from a dive to look up at her. They have a fearful cringe on their face, looking up at the human. They have light colored, loose medium length hair, a frilly tail, and frills in their armpits and along the sides of their tail. Their skintone at their torso is lighter, while the tail fades to dark. One arm os gathered underneath them, while the other is extended at their side. They have shiny, dark eyes with no pupils that are a similar color to the fins where their ears would be.

image 2: Close up on the previously described human character. It focuses on her face, cropping out her whole right arm and midway down the forearm of the left one. Details such as bubbles and her necklace, a shark tooth, are more apparent.

image 3: Close up on the merfolk character’s face. It crops at the elbow ditch of both arms. /end ID]
