This image is infamous among a very small circle of Belgian competition puzzlers.

We have a 24-hour puzzle competition each year where teams of 4 people try to assemble as many puzzles as they can in 24 hours. This is sponsored by Jumbo and the puzzles are part of their new collection, so they’re new to everyone.

The puzzles become gradually more difficult and usually the first one is 1000 pieces and kind of a fun or interesting one from the collection.

Well, one year the first puzzle of the competition was this image. And it looked a little challenging-but-fun because it was black and white, but it ended up being near-impossible.

As in, most teams spent all 24 hours on this one puzzle and we not even close to finishing it.

So the years after that they introduced a “skip” option, where a puzzle can be skipped, with a point penalty. But the image is still haunting to us who took part in the competition that year.

We were a small team canvassing for a nonprofit. So we would go out to markets and busy areas and talk to people all day trying to get donations.

Well one time we were out during election times and this guy from our team spent the majority of the day campaigning for a local candidate. That was his last day on the team.

They do accept donations: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/donate/

You gotta make sure to leave room for the crucial bean antenna

I would also recommend Doctor Sleep if you haven’t seen it. It’s a wonderful sequel/tribute to the Shining and so, so dark.

First off, these look great as first drawings!

Now if you’re looking for more realism, one piece of advice I have for you is change the position of the eyes. They don’t seem like it but they’re just about halfway on someone’s face.

Either way, you’ve got a cool style so keep at it!

Edit: I would also totally get a tattoo of the little guy in the top hat waving hello

And then you hit ¶ and you see how it was done

All I think of is this now

“Where do you think it goes?”

These kinds of images make me wish I had studied chaos theory, they are so fascinating

What’s troubling you, little buddy?

Thanks, I ended up going with “wealthy overseas relative who I have to report to”

This is roughly what I went with. I also kept it vague

That’s how it felt the entire visit

Thanks for the suggestions, I did ask about those. The agent had no idea but it made me sound more legit. Also, I posted an update!

Just posted a update!

Thanks for your advice. This helped me feel less nervous about the visit. I did stay vague but friendly when he asked me personal questions.
