#OdelinRedon
A round, bulbous spider, tilted slightly on its side. In an intentional subversion of nature, the spider has ten legs instead of eight, and right in the center of its body is a distinctly humanoid face wearing a wide, toothy grin. A massive, disembodied human eye acts as the canopy for a hot-air balloon, soaring above a dark, desolate horizon. Instead of a traditional passenger basket, the balloon carries a severed human head facing skyward.
