TIME TO ART

I finished up a long-running crochet blanket last night, so today it is definitely time to finish (hopefully???) my Be a Goldfish WEEK 6 project.

WEEK SIX: Girls, Girls, Girls Who run the world? Create a work centering on a female character. We wholeheartedly welcome transgender, intersex, and nonbinary women alongside their cisgender sisters.

WOOHOO! I started working on a PSUMNT student ID for Amena over the weekend, and got bogged down with, well, all of it, but especially with trying to write 'PanSystem University of Mihira and New Tideland' in the Murderbot tv alphabet. It's SO MANY letters.

Finally I changed my goal to 'PSU Mihira New Tideland,' and I'm feeling vaguely more capable of getting that done.

Decided to try art this week! Here's my take on what a PanSystem University of Mihira & New Tideland Student ID card might look like.

Headcanons I decided while I was working on this:

*The default option is a student photo. MB and Amena absolutely fought about it. The Preservation logo was the one option they were equally unhappy with, so that's what ended up on the ID.

*Every couple years, PSUMNT students circulate a petition to update the student ID art so that the line above 'Student ID' goes BEHIND the planet. Everyone agrees that would look better. The art is never changed.

*There's no academic reason for students to need a physical ID card. There are, however, a variety of card-centric traditions, including multiple drinking games which Amena hopes none of her parents ever find out about.
