Collage of 4 examples from artist manaohu. The top left is a doodle of a character holding a staff and a box on a chain. The character is Nymph from the mobile game "Arknights" she looks at the audience with a relaxed smile. She is wearing an elaborate jacket along with a dress with large heart shaped lock attached to her belt near the hip. Her hair curls around her face and fans out in the back, along with a small braid near the right of the picture. She is painted with a solid color of magenta on a white background. The upper right is a burly and confident looking character staring off to the left with a smile. They are wearing armor around their arms and chest, the hair around the sides of their face reaches shoulder height, while the hair at the back goes down to their waist. The whole image is plain white with black lines. The bottom left appears to be a cat-like human race called miqo'te from Final Fantasy, with medium dark skin and upwards-pointing horns. Their face is decorated by a dark tear-shaped spot on the forehead, red eyeshadow over striking yellow eyes, and red stripes radiating inwards along the frame of their face. The shoulder-length hair is dark grey with streaks of white, and they wear a large-collared red coat over a white shirt. Two cat-like ears point backwards, a star-shaped earring dangling from the left ear (azeyma earring). The bottom right is a monotone drawing of another human-type character with long bunny-like ears on the top of their head (likely a viera from Final Fantasy), black like their long hair. Their face is lowered, a guarded expression, with bangs covering one eye. The visible eye is a striking blue- the only colour in the image. They wear a frill-collared white dress shirt beneath a large black overcoat.

Collage of 4 examples from artist Alexia, aka woe and grow. The upper left is an illustration of a cherry with each berry having a smiling face on it. They are looking at each other. The upper right is a drawing of a pink and red lion. Its mane looks like a star burst, and within it and its tail, there are star and sparkle shapes. The bottom left is a bust sketch of a woman with red hair winking at the viewer. The bottom right is a cartoon self-portrait of the artist themself against a blue-pink gradient background. They are tan with flushed cheeks and ears and short brown hair styled into the iconic comma haircut. Their expression is scrunched as raindrops are falling down on their face.

Collage of 4 examples from the artist Pickled Art. The top left is a illustration of a cat looking at the viewer with its ear folded back and its tongue sticking out. Top right is a picture of two plush dragons huddled together in a child's bedroom. Bottom left is a black and white drawing of a "My Little Pony" OC named Silent Circus. They have a long shawl, a tall pointed hat, and a frilled collar. On the bottom right is a purple worm sitting on a field with a small table drinking some tea.

Collage of 4 examples from artist Jingjingcomics. The top left picture shows a baker in a bakery full of living dog pasteries. The Baker is petting a dog that resembles a loaf of bread. The Image on the top right depicts two characters: The character on the left have green skin and glasses with snakes as hair, they are also leaning on the other character while looking at them. On the right is a character is a masculine person with brown hair and a yellow shirt, they gaze back at the first character. Bottom left is a simple painting of a cheesecake on a white background. To the bottom right is a pretzel shaped dog galloping through grassy field.
