A person sits on a dark, planetlike sphere hanging in a blue, starry sky. The sphere is about the size of a small house relative to the person. The person is sitting at a small round cafe table, illuminated by a ceiling lamp hanging from above. What the lamp is attached to is not clear. In the sky to the right is a crescent moon.

A scene at night. The full moon hangs in the sky, casting light on rows of clouds. A creature with fur, horns, and a tail holds a hand out towards a large raven perched on a pole. The scenery is barren and indeterminate. This is a primarily black-and-white drawing that looks like it was rendered in charcoal.

Night, deep in the forest. A full moon hangs in a clear, eerily greenish-blue sky. Something else is in the sky, also: a small flying saucer with a beam of white light emerging from an opening below. On the ground, to the left, buried amongst the trees, is a small cabin. Someone is opening the door to the cabin and yellow light pours out.

A glowing greenish-white snake emerges from a buried egg or seed, and wends its way through the soil to emerge into the world. The soil is crowded with rocks, roots, and bits of junk. The world the snake emerges into is a dark night with an eerie green glow on the horizon. Fog hangs in the air. To the right stands, a cloaked figure holding a long staff with a glowing green flame at the end of it. The figure and the snake appear to be interacting.

A deep woods at night. A crescent moon glows in a clear, starry sky. Beneath a thick hedge of trees are two figures, dueling with fencing swords. The figure on the left is wearing a khaki uniform with a patch on one shoulder and a rainbow stripe across it. The figure has a blue wolf's head and blue hands. The figure on the right is wearing a similar purple uniform and has a goldfish for a head.

A gray, cloudy night. A figure stands on a small soapbox in the middle of nowhere, the pose suggesting that they are giving a speech. Their left arm is extremely long and curved and they are holding a flashlight above their head, shining a dull gold beam down as though it's a spotlight. The beam of the light tapers off into haziness, suggesting fog.

A scene at night. The sky is deep blue and filled with stars. Rising out of a meadow is a short platform that looks cylindrical, like a pipe or pedestal. Hovering above it is a glowing blue-white circle with bluish flame or fog dripping off of it.

A scene at night. Two tall, thin towers rise out of the fog. Connecting them is a horizontal bridge with iron latticework beneath it. At the top of each tower is a glowing yellow light. A person stands on the bridge. Above, in the sky, is a glowing full moon. The bridge looks like an uppercase letter H. This is a primarily blue drawing with accents of fluorescent green for the fog.

A gray night, with a thin sliver of a hazy moon in the sky. The trunk of a large dead tree stands to the right, with a single branch extending off to the left. Hanging from the branch is a small sign that says "open". At the base of the tree is an arched doorway, casting white light out onto the surrounding meadow. In the top left of the trunk is a small, circular window, with white light beaming from that as well. In the sky above, a large bird can be seen.

A very large person sitting next to what is presumably a normal-sized phone booth. The booth looks like it's in a meadow in the middle of nowhere. The person would probably be twice the size of the booth if they were standing up. They are nevertheless using the phone, stretching the cord outside the booth. It looks like early morning or early evening; the sky is a darkening blue, and the yellow light from the booth illuminates the grass around it. The person is just a dark silhouette, with no facial features visible. A full moon sits high in the sky.

A dark, gray night. A remote, grassy hill. Rising up from the hill is a small, oddly shaped house, with no windows, a pointed roof, and a doorway like an open mouth. On the side of the house, at the top, is a large white eye. Hanging over the door is a small, glowing sign that says "open". This is a monochrome drawing rendered primarily in gray and black.

A dark night sky with a field of bright red grass below. Planted in the middle of the field is a small sign, pointing to the right, with no visible text. Hovering above the sign, floating through the air, are glowing green wisp-like creatures that suggest ghosts or spirits. High in the sky is a bright red disc that could be a moon.

A scene at night, somewhere in a remote, natural area. The ground appears to be covered with low trees, weeds, and shrubbery. Rising up out of the ground is a sign with the word "open" on it in glowing pink letters. The sign is tall, like a sign for a gas station. Approaching the sign in the background are multiple hazy figures who appeared to be carrying powerful flashlights, like a search party. This is a mostly blue and black drawing.

A dark night. A small creek winds through a black forest with a tall, conical mountain rising in the distance. Blazing into the sky from the mountain is a glowing light with a tail like a comet, suggesting a flare or a firework launched by someone on top of the mountain. In the foreground, on the bank of the creek, a small figure stands next to a fire, watching the light in the sky. This is a primarily blue drawing.

A house on the edge of a steep cliff at night. The house is small, with two lit windows, and a back porch that faces the cliff. A white light is glowing on the back porch. About halfway down the cliff is a small ledge on which is standing a very tall creature, about the size of the house, with two glowing eyes. There appears to be a staircase, or some sort of path, down the side of the cliff. There is no moon or stars. This is a grayscale drawing.

A glowing white figure stands on an icy surface at night, with blurry suggestions of a tree line in the background. The figure appears to be wearing a hat with a brim, and has a clock key sticking out of its back. It is holding up a black eyeball with a bright red iris in front of its face, staring at it. An iridescent green glow hangs in the sky. This is a bluish-indigo drawing.

A forest at night. The sky is heavy and gray with clouds. The trees are faded and ghostly. In the distance, but still unsettling close, stalks a giant figure with glowing eyes, holding a white glowing lantern. In the foreground, a much smaller figure stands in the shadows, watching.

A person stands on the edge of a large rectangular object—could be the edge of a building—shining a flashlight off to the right of the drawing. The location and time of day is indeterminate. The background is the dark blue of early morning or early evening. The flashlight beam is a greenish white. This is a barren place, surrounded by the unknown.

A desolate street winds through an abandoned town at night. The road looks bumpy and uneven, and curves among abandoned apartment blocks and a factory with a tall smoke stack. It is mostly dark; the scene is illuminated only by a full moon. The sky looks partly cloudy. In the sky, directly to the right of the moon and a little above it, is a witch on a broomstick.

A ghostly white figure in a meadowlike wasteland holds up a large white mask with a cartoonish smiley-face on it. Far away, on a hill, another ghostly figure holds up a similar white mask, but it's too small to see an actual face. This is a primarily black and teal drawing.

A three-legged orange entity, somewhere between a creature and a machine, with two horns and an enormous eye-like window in the middle of its body. The entity is in a dark area: at night, or maybe even under the water. A person is visible in the window, operating controls. A glowing green bolt of electricity jumps between the entity's horns. The light from the interior casts a hazy green glow out into the darkness.

A bright yellow background, and a glowing white sun. In the foreground, a blue figure walks, seemingly covered by a ghost-shaped night sky. The figure is set against the night sky, which is dark blue, has a crescent moon, and is covered with stars. It looks as though the night is a cloak that the figure is wearing during the day. (I realize this person looks like Dr. Manhattan and it is not Dr. Manhattan.)

A dark, starry night. A large crescent moon hangs in the sky, so large and close that the craters and surface texture are visible. Below is a small pond, surrounded by grass and a few trees. Standing by the pond, white glow reflected in the water, is a ghostly white figure.

Night, somewhere remote. A white crescent moon hangs in the sky. A squat, hunched-over creature with thin legs wears a fedora and carries a ball under its right arm, staring directly at the viewer. The creature's face is indistinct and oddly featureless, as though it is wearing a mask. The part of its face most in shadow from the hat has a glowing green circle where an eye would be; its mouth is a row of glowing red lines, like a robot's face. It is wearing a baggy T-shirt, and appears to be surrounded by grass, with a blurry suggestion of trees in the distance. This is a dark gray drawing, with the only color being the glowing green eye and red mouth.

A dark, cloudy night. In the foreground is a bare, rocky hillside overlooking a flat plane. In the distance, but not too far away, is the wooded slope of another hill. Someone is standing on the rocky hillside, holding a long cable. The cable curves up to where an enormous yellow smiley-face hangs in the sky. Yellow light from the face is reflecting off the person and the plane. Most of the drawing is gray and black, except for the yellow smiley-face.

A tall, glowing white figure stands astride the curved horizon of a dark planet, reaching over to touch hands with another glowing white figure, this one slightly smaller, on the other side of the planet. There is an eerie green auroral glow on the horizon. Above, many green-tailed meteors hurtle through a starry sky. Anyone who remembers browsing the web in the late 1990s might be reminded of something.

A person stands in a clearing at night, a full moon visible in the sky. There are indications of low trees, or a meadow. The person is flying a huge, shield-shaped purple kite with a frowning monster's face on it. The kite has a single red eye, a long nose, and exposed yellow teeth, with red stripes on it as well. Its tail resembles a beard. It is the only colored object in an otherwise grayscale drawing.

A dark, cloudy evening—or perhaps morning—at sea. The sky is a dark blue, and the water is a very dark blue. Standing up in a very small boat is a ghostly greenish figure holding up a glowing green lantern. Far away, nearly on the horizon, is another small boat, with another pale figure holding up a lantern. Time passes slowly out here.

A black and white charcoal rendering of a small cabin in a clearing, surrounded by trees. It is a foggy night. Hovering above the cabin is a large, black, saucer-shaped spaceship. In the center of the underside is a glowing white opening from which a straight beam of light extends down, illuminating the roof of the cabin. The saucer has a few smaller, glowing lights on the sides and undersides as well.

An eerie scene that looks like it was created in either charcoal or watercolor. A tall, thin apartment building rises up out of a ground covered with undergrowth. The building has  only one window in the top left. It is lit, with the blurry silhouette of a person in it. Stalking around the base of the building in the lower right of the drawing is the huge form of a shapeless creature with glowing white eyes. In the background is a blurry suggestion of a forest. The scene appears to be at night.

A dark gray day, edging into evening. Fog is visible on the ground. The world is slate-gray. In the distance is a blurry suggestion of a forest. Rising up from the forest is a tall, spindly tower that looks like a radio mast. At the top of the tower is a glowing yellow neon smiley-face. Large birds circle the top of the tower. In the foreground, a person stands looking at the tower, holding in their left hand a glowing spherical smiley-emoji as though it's a lantern. The emoji casts yellow light on the ground, which looks as though it's wet.

A deep, slightly foggy woods at night. Filtering through the trees on the left is an eerie white glow, suggesting a very bright light somewhere nearby. Wandering through the trees are two robots, glaring greenish lights on their heads. Overhead, the branches of the trees interlock. This is a primarily purple and indigo drawing, suggesting a dull, foggy night with little illumination.
