In the illustration for Kevin's birthday card, imagine an otherworldly battlefield where whimsy meets the ruggedness of Warhammer 40k. The scene unfolds on an alien landscape with swirling, pastel-hued clouds and distant, ringed planets dotting a lavender sky, inspired by the dreamlike quality of Maxfield Parrish. In the foreground, a group of jubilant Space Marines, dressed in flamboyant armor reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley's intricate patterns, are gathered around a giant, rocket-shaped birthday cake. The cake, iced with vivid greens and blues, towers over them, with tiny figurines of Space Marines and Tyranids made from sugar poised as if in combat atop the tiers.

A banner, inspired by Quentin Blake’s playful lettering style, stretches between two hovering servo skulls above the cake, proclaiming "Happy Birthday Kevin" in bold, swirling script. To the left, a Space Marine with a comically oversized helmet, a nod to Edward Gorey's humorous exaggerations, is struggling to blow out the flickering candles atop the cake with his plasma pistol. On the right, another Space Marine is using a chainsword to cut the cake, its blade spewing icing and crumbs into the air like confetti. Scattered around the scene, cartoonish servitors bearing gifts wrapped in starry paper are bustling about, with gift tags visibly labeled "For Kevin" in calligraphy reminiscent of Arthur Rackham's detailed linework.

In the background, an Ultramarine tank, humorously repurposed as a piñata, hangs suspended from a floating fortress. It bursts open, showering the scene with miniature figurines and candy shaped like Ork heads, a nod to Maurice Sendak’s mischievous chaos. The clouds above, swirling like those in a Norman Rockwell sky, subtly spell out "Kevin" in their contours, providing a celestial touch to the celebration.
