Digital art of a turtle-koi fish creature with a lily pad and pink lotus flower on its back, mimicking the vague shape of a turtle shell. A small frog rests on their lily pad as drops of water catch on the petals of the lotus flower. A tadpole swims shortly behind them. The background is a greyish blue with swirls and sparkles.

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Came out a little small for a mask so either need to scale it up or just treat it as a decorative piece. Also needs a bit more sanding on the edges but it came out well I'd say

Next test print looks pretty good so far. A little smaller thanks to the antlers but the look and effect are still there

Trying to figure out what to do with your life does NOT get easier with time. I had no idea as a kid, or in college, and honestly I still donβt have any real clarity in middle age. At some point you just have to make a choice and follow a path

High contrast illustration of the SNap Shot, a blighted version of the Alligator Snapping turtle. A pressurised stream of water can be seen expelled through the tongue nozzle.
Snap Shots are found amongst the riverbeds of the Deep Forest, using clusters of blighted algae to hide themselves within the water. Using pressurised water expelled through a nozzle within the tongue, Sanp Shots knock out non-blighted creatures nearby or disable machinery moving through the water.
