“In addition to his initial intention of killing Hegseth and/or Johnson, the affidavit said, English told police he considered burning down the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.”

Guy turned himself in, but doesn’t really say why.

    I made this so it’s ugly but how about this rough idea?

    A huge problem is that when the image is reduced down to that size - the vibe is ruined. The rag doesn’t look like a rag at all. It looks like a extra-fancy top to a bottle of liqueur. Larger it’s fine.

      Not bad! I think the rag add can be improved both IRL and emoji-style by tying it around the neck of the bottle rather than shoving it in the end. Rag-in-the-mouth of the bottle mollies have a bad rep for failing in minecraft so, yeah, could be something to think about.

      If I remember to remember I’ll have a crack at it myself. Maybe attempt a vector version so it has toonish design clarity. The hand in your design is a great touch for showing the scale of the smolotov. Its good work.

        That sounds really good. At the emoji’s tiny size - it would be better if the flame was an unrealistic red/yellow anyway. I used a regular-sized bottle. A fun-sized bottle has different dimensions of course. My hunch is fun-sized bottle won’t work because it’s too bulky. It’ll make the bottle the equivalent of a male bodybuilder who’s taken so much HGH he’s 350 pounds of huge and bizarrely shaped muscle globs.
