This is a simple black-and-white line drawing of a maple seed (often called a helicopter, whirlybird, or maple key) falling from the sky. Two thin, elongated wings extend outward in a wide V shape from a small central joint. Each wing is slightly curved and uneven, with fine, vein-like lines sketched along their length to add texture. The wings taper toward rounded tips, while the centre narrows into a short, thin stem that hangs downward.

This is a black-and-white line drawing of a knight in full armor. The knight stands facing forward, holding a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand. The armor is detailed with segmented plates on the arms, legs, and torso. The helmet features a visor with vertical slits for visibility and ventilation, and a plume extends from the top, flowing backward. The shield is large and triangular, with a simple geometric design: a bold "X" dividing it into four sections, a smaller rectangle near the top centre, and a diamond near the bottom centre. The knight's pose is sturdy and balanced, suggesting readiness for battle.
