welcome traveller make yourself at home im gonna go fill out that google form in the kitchen
also make sure not to post any images here until we're done because posting an image counts as submitting and i would hate to die irl because of that

Accuracy much more important than time here anyway.

ok i clicked it
general impressions and rules before i get started describing specific things to draw:
its a big silly ms paint style image full of squiggly lines and shapes with funny faces.
Every border between things is BLACK and a bit thick, so crank your brush size up a few notches just by default.

You can start by filling the background color with #0094FF, that's the color of the sky.

ok this is a bit hard to describe all at once I think I will just go one thing at a time.
Let's start at the bottom half of the image

Even though the sky is blue, it's a view from space. You can see a part of the earth. The earth is crudely drawn and is not a perfect circle.
To draw the curvature of the earth using your bold black brush, imagine the top half of a circle resting on the bottom of the page. Then make it so that the left side of the half circle is longer then the right because it's crudely drawn.
The height of the skewed half circle goes from the bottom of the screen to about 15% of the total height at it's peak.
Imagine your 800x800 square was cut from the top left corner of a sheet of lined paper.
Imagine where the margin would be.
That is the left edge of the half circle.
The right edge is slightly offscreen.

Use the fill bucket on your newly drawn earth with color #0026FF. This is the water.

We will be drawing continents and islands next. Each continent has a black bold cartoony border the same size as the border of the earth. #007F46 is the color of the land on the continents.
Leave a small margin of water on the left side of the earth.
From left to right, draw three small islands like ... but they go slightly diagonally up as you go to the right. The top of the first island is level with the bottom of the second island. Both the first and second islands are small and their shape is negligible, but they're not perfect circles. Just make em look islandy.
The third island is like if the first two tiny islands merged together then sprouted a little tail like a comma. (,) The tail of the comma goes down to about the midpoint of the height of the second island, and then the head of the comma goes up a little more in uniform with the other islands. The total height of the third island is about equal to the sum of the height of the previous two islands.
The three islands themselves should not go further than about the 1/3 mark across the surface of the earth.

Question: Does it feel like approximately half a circle to you? Or noticeably less than half?

And just so I'm not completely off. Approximately what % to the right of the left-most-side of the template does the earth start?

Next in the middle of the earth there's a big continent. It starts from offscreen (ie. the bottom of the screen). It never touches the top of the earth. None of the islands do.
It looks a tiny bit like a very smoothed out version of the top of Australia, but if someone took the left edge of australia and ripped it like a sheet of paper and a jagged edge formed.
If you look at the top of australia on a map, you will see a small bump, a bigger bump, a dip, then a big spike, then a decrease off to the right.
Switch the order of the small bump and the bigger bump, and make the dip/spike much smaller, then have it taper off of the screen. This would mean that the dip appears immediately after the small bump. From left to right: big bump, small bump, right into dip, then spike, then fall off the screen.
just a bit above the rising edge (not the peak) of the small bump is a little dot island. It is smaller than any island you've already drawn.

Question: Does it feel like approximately half a circle to you? Or noticeably less than half? notably less. Maybe like 1/6 of a giant crude circle. It is really wide. |

Was worried I was completely off but that is pretty much what I had based on your first description post. I'll take some time to catch up on everything else. Feel free to keep posting stuff/thinking about how you want to describe things. |

The last island is as follows:
Imagine the big continent from earlier was cut off and there was a piece of it that was connected but not quite able to be seen because it was connected lower down.
Hold your right hand in front of you as a fist with your palm facing away from you so that you can see your knuckles and the first segment of your fingers. Ignore your thumb. Stick up your ring and pinky finger while still keeping them curled. This is the rough shape of this landmass.
It is very short. It's highest y-value is less then the top of the first ... island.
The size of the big continent plus this addition almost takes you to the end of the screen. If you were to add the first dot island to the end of this last island, you would reach the end of the screen.

A very silly creature is living on top of the earth. Imagine like a mushroom cloud, but instead of a mushroom, it's a pickaxe, he has a silly smile, and he is leaning towards the left. We will now be drawing this creature.
Our silly friend is also very tall, so the combined height of him plus the earth is about half of the entire image.
He is coloured in as #FF6A00. His base is more or less centered on top of the earth, but slightly to the left.
I mentioned he is a mushroom cloud shape (on the bottom), so just like a mushroom cloud he has two upwards arches like a tree that grow up into a stem. Imagine he's made of some fungus-y stretchy fleshy material. Because he's leaning towards the left, his upwards arch on the left is fatter and his upwards arch on the right is narrower.
Google image search a protractor. If 90 degrees is straight up, our silly friend is leaning at about 70 to 75 degrees.
For a his pickaxe head, he has a very narrow and droopy head for a pickaxe. You might think of a droopy palm tree at sunset. His left pickaxe prong is very droopy and floppy so it goes sharply down wards to about the halfway point of his body. But his right pickaxe prong is more solid, and only droops down to the 1/4 way point of his body. It also doesn't droop sharply down, it looks much more like a normal pickaxe prong.
At the point where all the prongs and the stem meet at the head, there is a little .^. face. The x-position of the eyes is about where the the lines coming up to draw the stem are. The position of the mouth is centered between the eyes.

Our silly orange friend has two silly arms. His arms do not have any color, they are just bold and black stick arms. The same color and width that all the outlines are.
On the end of his silly arms are two hands which are actually just suns of color #FFD800. The suns have many sqiggly lines coming out of them. The squiggly lines are not yellow, they are black just like all the outlines. I will now describe each of these things in painstaking detail.

The left silly arm protrudes from near the base of our silly orange friend. Right around the inflection point where the curve goes from going mostly horizontal to mostly vertical.
His arm has three silly loop-de-loops in it. Aside from those three loop de loops, it goes mostly in a straight line to the left and slightly upwards.
In terms of X-axis alignment, the leftmost loop-de-loop is just fully to the left of the leftmost ... island.
This is a text rendition of his arm:
u_o__o__O____
where O and o are bigger/smaller loop-de-loops, and u is because it ends at an upwards twirl about the same height as the previous loopdeloop. So ignore the right half of the u. Just make it curve to point up.
