My werewolf, Zayne, hunched over as he faces the camera. He has a dopey, tired expression as his head splits straight down the middle; an ethereal blue liquid dripping down his face. One half of his head is slightly lower than the other. The background is a hot pink gradient.

"Calla Runner," a painting of a Runner Duck facing left and standing among Calla Lilies. There's an orange glow behind the duck and flowers and the background is purple. The artist's signature and watermark are on the bottom left and right.
