A painted cartoon family portrait of various multicellular organisms complete with studio lighting and classic brown mottled backdrop. In the back are two bluish balls of cells and a string of filastereans all with beady eyes and cute mouths. Flanked by a pair of green choanoflagellates with long lash-like purple tails, are a big happy sponge and a comb jellyfish with iridescent "combs" running up its pink, translucent body. They have their arms and tentacles on a trio of modern animal "kids." A white goose, a blue eyed, orange kitten, and a particularly surly goth lizard in black and white makeup and a skull t-shirt.

A stern but adorable looking pomeranian knight in fancy medieval garb consisting of green gloves, a red jacket with gold and green trim, red-orange booties that his wispy furred toes stick out of, and a blueish purple hat with a feather. He is holding a pointed polearm. Behind him is a grassy scene with blue skies and puffy clouds in a polygonal cutout.
