Large drawing the shape of a half circle. The background shows a diffused fluorescent rainbow archway framing two titt mountains brimming with blue rivers at their peaks and covered in pale eyes. Over the mountains a flute of 7 decapitated femme heads fly in various states of free fall. Their electric pink tongues and lips ripple and wave as they lose and regrow yellow teeth. Their faces split halfway into color gradients fading from dark brown to brown pink skins. In front of the mountain peaks lays a femme giant posed for a big punch painted in deep velvet black and carved with symbols to reveal rainbows underneath her skin.
