> [@Hoops](#): > > It is Finn and Jake from [Adventure Time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Time), imagined as the [Rider-Waite Tarot trump VIII (Strength).](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_(tarot_card)) Thank you! I recognized it as Strength from the Rider-Waite Major Arcana, but the figures seemed a little off. Glad to know that they’re established characters imagined as the Strength card. ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > @ShadowFacts is another one that’ll be a-judgin’ you as I’ve said before. I don’t know how you’re a-judgin’, but I would cite @ShadowFacts’s avatar as another good example of where a simple representational image is often superior and far more recognizable than some highly reduced image with a mess of detail that’s hard to make out. ---

> [@Hoops](#): > > I love my avatar, though I can’t help but admit it is not great as a coin-sized blotch of low-three-digit pixels. I love yours, too! But I wonder if there’s a way for someone here with skillz to make the image more distinct so that when it’s shrunken down it’s easier to make out. Like more contrast or something. ---

And I’ve switched again, this time to Eddy. I think it works even better than Teddy. ---

My Eddy doesn’t look like that. (Some yellow, but much less. Mostly white. Except for the tail, that’s all yellow.) ---
