Figure on a manila bookmark, with their GI tract visible. Dark sludgy yellow-green-black shows the esophagus, stomach, liver, intestines, and kin. They are filled with dark green bubbles. The rest of the body is a blend of fleshy peach and teal, with purple bubbles, and liquidy lines. It is pretty gross. There is no face visible, and lots of imperfectly colored in areas, almost mimicking gassy bits.
