nana glass grandmother of the year zero years running (alt versions + comments below the cut)
version without fishhooks and an wip version i rlly rlly liked :p!!
in terms of design notes i dont have a lot to say but i do want to add some stuff:::
i went for a sort of gibson girl thing w her hair. i wish i could say i chose it to make her seem like shes a little outdated atp, like her time to pass the torch has come, while reflecting her practicality anc messiness, but i really did not LMFAO. i chose it because it fit how i saw her and i think it looks cool
her outfit is very simple IM SORRY OK i want it to be more complex and detailed BUT shes wearing that shit regardless 🔥🔥
i DO have vague ideas for better clothing designs for her but tbh theyre too vague rn and this pose SUCKS for design purposes. her FACE is the point maybe i need to work on composition
anyway. some day nana glass true fits will be real but not today

lil sketchdump for the silt verses because i miss them.....a lot.....
edit: added ID below, originally written by @princess-of-purple-prose, thank you so much!
[ID: Silt Verses fanart done in dark brown.
1. On the left, Carpenter’s narration hangs next to a portrait of Nana Glass, an older woman with fishhooks radiating around her face and curly hair tied in a high bun. Carpenter says, “Over the long years, she pierced her ears and cheeks and lips with seventeen barbed hooks of varying shapes and sizes in devotion to the Trawler-man.” A note says “*hair curls look like hooks.”
On the right, a young Em and Carpenter walk with Nana, who looks ahead as they stop to look at the corpse floating in the river. Carpenter’s narration says, “Em and I would run and play for hours in the waterlogged garden, dancing amongst the sweetgrass. Leaping over the bobbing buoys of the lifeless, sackcloth-covered heads that bobbed in rows along the shallows.”
2. The bride and bridegroom in a church. The bride is a towering hermit crab-like figure with a mostly-human torso that a long veil flows off the head of. The narration says, “And as the bridegroom staggers back, aghast, he sees the angels part, and his promised bride comes forward to the head of the procession. Swept inland upon new towering legs, smiling as she strides forwards to meet him.”
3. Mercer and Gage, smiling teens dressed in furs and skulls and carrying guns. As Gage says, “We dress in the things we kill, in sallow bone and in bloodied rough fur. Mercer's hood is topped with a goat skull; mine with the skull of a dog.”
4. Carpenter, Paige, and Faulkner in a car together. Carpenter looks tired as she drives, and Faulkner smiles in the passenger’s seat as he and a smiling Paige split a Kit-Kat. Text from the season one recap says: “MÉABH: Carpenter and Paige drag him to the car and the three best friends that there ever ever was... go on a roadtrip :)”. The words “go on a roadtrip” are handwritten in. End ID]

not to be SadOnMain™️ but the strawberry patterned glasses are one of those things in fiction that never fails to break me in pieces (lol) everytime I think about it.
the idea of something so delicate and unlikely as a couple of dollar store glass cups, cups that were not even meant to be sold in pairs, but ended up being bought by two strangers who had nothing in common if not a shared name
and then- just like these two girls- the cups became inseparable, they became the very symbol of their friendship, dare I say
until- in the heat of the moment, during very troubling times and because of an internal fight- Nana Osaki breaks her glass, her share of that symbol of friendship
and then we are introduced to the information that those glasses are still being sold at the same shop,ar the same price, and still not in a pair.
and we also know it's not like Hachi refuses to buy them ''because she wouldn't know what to do with the spare one'', it's just that she can't bring herself to buy a ''substitute'' to Nana's glass, Nana's share of their symbol of friendship, she can't bring herself to buy a new glass because it would mean moving away from Nana and those beautiful six months together, it would mean moving on from their friendship, to substitute her, and she will never be able to do that, not because she *can't* but because just she *doesn't want* to.
so yeah, the strawberry patterned glasses.
I don't know, it just brakes me.
