a small collection of random GlassBorn drawings featuring various creatures and characters. top left: concept art for the Grand Ascender's headdress. top right: Maya smiling at her pet hedgehog Zeke, who is sitting atop her head. middle: Noelle standing alongside her small drone companion Cherri. bottom left: a trio of boggles (smaller and more mischievous wraith variants). bottom right: Manifold Council member VIII barking orders. mysterious glyphs are shown near the top of the image, though their meaning is unknown.concept art depicting a climactic battle in the skies. Maya rides on her gravboard, using debris from the conflict as a makeshift sword and shield to defend herself from an Empty Vessel swarm. she swerves to dodge an allied resistance fighter, flames bursting from its damaged wing as it careens through the air. the Empty Vessels pursue Maya with a variety of over-the-top facial expressions, their arms twisted into sharp lances.poster concept for my story. the full (working) title reads "GlassBorn: Children of the Black Star." my OC Rosaline Belville stands on the left side of the image, hands in her sweater pockets, hair alight with a spectrum of color as it blows in the wind. she wears a brooding, determined expression. to the right of her we can see a field of murmur lilies stretching towards distant mountains, where the massive silhouette of an Obelisk stands against a starry night sky.concept art depicting an updated appearance for my OC Tenma-00, with text referring to her as a "bio-digital lifeform." her outfit leans further into her japanese influences while maintaining a distinct and otherworldly aura, featuring a hooded white shawl with purple lining and long, flowing ribbons, short blue-grey robes with matching legwear, a pair of geta-inspired platform sandals, and massive light blue sleeves that cover her arms. she also sports a wide variety of gold accessories and sharp, floating ornaments, and a circular glyph hovers behind her head like a halo. her peach-colored hair is almost perfectly straight and styled to conceal her left eye.

It's my very greatest pleasure to announce the project I've been working on the past year: Tascots! The Make-Your-Own Desktop Pet Game! Say hello to our little queen, Button the Mouse.

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead” even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

On her first day in the facility, Becky asked for a scrap of paper and a pen, and began to draw the inmates on the table next to her. She was immediately inundated with portrait requests. A Mexican woman called Lopez, who had a photo of her children stored on one of the iPads, told Becky she would buy her some paper and colouring pencils from the commissary if Becky drew her kids. She soon became the dorm’s unofficial artist-in-residence, with women huddling around the dirty mirrors to make themselves look presentable before they sat for her. They would decorate their cells with Becky’s drawings, or send them to their families. Lopez declared herself Becky’s manager. “She kept saying, ‘Becky, you need to ask for stuff in exchange. Ask for popcorn.’ And I’d be like, ‘Lopez, I don’t need anything.’ I thought, I’m here briefly, you’re stuck here a long time. I’m not going to take your food away from you.”A three by three grid illustrating in blue pen cartoon portraits of women in an ICE detention center. “Mrs Kailey,” Bana, Lewelyn, Ikram, Asil, ‘Auntie,’ ‘F.Z,’ Kseniia, and “P.A.” Two have light hair, three have glasses, one wears a hijab, one poses, and one holds a drink.

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like. And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
