Destiny's moon-like Traveller god hovering very close above what I imagine is probably Earth. It's almost completely white but with some machinery showing on a peeled away surface at the bottom.

Lies of P key art, showing delicate but striking young person with a high coloured blue coat, white cravat, porcelain-white skin, and mid-length, raven-black hair. It's a moody but beautiful image.

A cut-scene image from Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, showing the green-clothed Snufkin sitting on a small wooden bridge with the iconic Moomin - a kind of white and small hippopotamus. The forest around them shows that autumn is turning to winter.

An illustration of a beholder enemy in Dungeons and Dragons - the big floating eyeball that has many eyeballs on stalks coming out from it. It's presented here in a kind of gold, embossed way, with only gold lines on a deep red background. It's a very fetching image!

A piece of game artwork showing several versions of the same character in a tableau, which is very reminiscent of Da Vinci's Last Supper. They all wear a variation of the same pink tracksuit and are all arguing with each other or interacting in some way. It's an energetic image. They are all clones of the same person, living in a base together.
