Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you "draw" with zeros instead of ones, then you don't have the last-digit-in-foreground problem.

It also solves the leading zeros problem. That's potentially a lot of extra computation to handle, though, since the resulting number in the giraffe case would be something like 2^500 times larger. I guess the question of whether that is worth it depends on your individual value for image shaped primes.
