Very late to this trend but I couldn't help but draw @/iikz_02 on Twitter's Scottish Miku! (if that was not the original designer please let me know I tried to find the earliest date)
I'm not the deepest into my Scottish heritage, but I tried my best to invoke my grandmother's pride whenever she talked about it. Hope I did her proud..... by drawing Hatsune Miku lmao

On July 4th 1834, the designer Christopher Dresser was born.
Born in Glasgow he studied at the Government School of Design in London, specialising in botanical studies, before starting his own studio around 1860.
His career was built on designing for an expanding professional class consumer market and he achieved critical success in 1899 when Studio magazine described him as, ‘Perhaps the greatest of commercial designers, imposing his fantasy and invention upon the ordinary output of British Industry’.
From the 1870s Christopher Dresser also became a brand as his products carried his name, which was associated with good taste.
Dresser was an industrial designer before the profession had been invented, a man who found new ways of designing for production that few of his contemporaries could have imagined. He grasped both the properties of materials and the processes of production and adapted his designs and aesthetics to them brilliantly.
He is now widely known as one of the first and most important, independent, designers and was a pivotal figure in the Aesthetic Movement, and a major contributor to the allied Anglo-Japanese or Modern English style; both originated in England and had long lasting international influence.
Dresser provided designs for some 60 companies. Among the most notable were Wedgwood, Minton and the Ault and Linthorpe potteries. In 1880, Dresser founded the Art Furnishers’ Alliance (AFA), opening premises at 157, New Bond Street the following year.
As with most great Victorians, Dresser’s reputation plummeted after his death in 1904 and he was virtually forgotten by the 1930s, but some of his metalwork designs are still in production, such as his oil and vinegar sets and toast rack designs.
Christopher Dresser died at Mulhouse, Alsace, France, 24th November 1904.
Of hs designs I like the "Clutha Vae" in the second pic, it is part of the collection in Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest.

helmet designs for the sillies in a silly environment because my brain had a little too much time to marinate my interests and then this idea happened
an actual fic IS in the works and by that I mean I have like half a plot figured out and I've never attempted to write something over 5000 words in my life so I think we all know how well that'll go

Elliott’s Immersive Wedding Mod v.2.0.0 is now up and ready to play!
Explore 3 new wedding day events with Elliott, including a wedding reception hosted at the Stardrop Saloon, as well as 2 intimate events with Elliott at home (PG - PG 13) in between events, and much more!
This new update also features new sprites and portraits based off my other mod, Elliott Scottish Wedding Kilt, as well as edited marriage dialogue with a little Scottish Gaelic affection sprinkled in.
Your choices in-game will affect your relationship with Elliott, as well as open up different opportunities for new events, revealing vanilla-based character growth for Elliott throughout your time together in Pelican Town.
More about this mod:
Elliott is an ISFP who is quirky, grandiose, and romantic but also largely misunderstood by others.
In the beginning, his superficial traits tend to rub people the wrong way (melodramatic, vain, and “life-is-a-stage” type attitude) but getting to know and befriend him over the course of the game, we come to see him as a deeply passionate and highly motivated person, who is unapologetically true to himself and his values, despite the odds and adversity.
Throughout your friendship, you see Elliott come out of his shell more and engage with the others around him, despite his history of rejection and discouragement.
Though much of his personal growth can be seen through heart events, dialogue, (and stalking him around town), I wanted to delve deeper into his character and explore how his choice to move to Pelican Town has shaped his personal growth, including his relationship with others in town - and most importantly - his relationship with the farmer, from friendship to marriage.
Enjoy playing! <3
