  • In my follow up to Reflections I have Imp doing a painting of Carso in hero in tights ode, and I can't think of a good hidden image/message.

    She's wearing a billowing cape, in the folds of which is subtly written, 'Does this make my butt look big?'

  • Or it might be a dedication poem with an acrostic reading "This is the hidden message." Or perhaps "Mulch." Or even "Jack must get his work back."

    Don't call me "Shirley." You will surely make me surly.

  • Her shadow has horns.

    The bubblegum stuck to the sole of her boot is shaped like the Imp logo.

    If you view the image from below (as a short child might see it while standing close with their head craned back), the perspective causes Astarte to look like Elmer Fudd.

  • Imp idolizes hero mode Carson though, she had her poster!

    So maybe something emphasizing young girls looking up to her? Or the hidden image of nurturing/protecting children or growing flowers, which plays off her role both as a mother and an educator.

  • I like the perspective idea.... maybe look at it one way you see the Cape side of her emphasized, the other way the teacher. But then her Headmistress portrait is up elsewhere.
