Theme Graphics Compo

The graphics compo rules have just been updated. The theme for the theme graphics compo is "Your life before being reincarnated as a scener": Draw yourself or another scener in a situation of his or her previous life. It's up to you to decide whether the protagonist was involved in some scene-related activity at that time or instead spent his life on earth as a cockroach.
