Have you noticed these windows?

These images showcases a beautiful set of old, possibly medieval or early modern windows, which contain distinct "bullseye" panes. These "bullseyes" were a byproduct of a historical glass-making technique called crown glass production. During this process, molten glass would be spun into a disk, and the central portion, where the rod had been attached, would form a thick, rounded distortion — the bullseye. Originally considered flawed or less desirable compared to the smooth outer edges, these panes were often sold at a lower cost.

The bullseye feature is now cherished for its historical charm and rustic character. Because modern methods of glass production allow for flawless, uniform sheets of glass, this style of window pane is no longer deliberately replicated, giving such windows a unique, irreplaceable quality. The reflection of the light in these windows, along with the subtle distortions from the bullseyes, adds a sense of warmth and antiquity to the building.

In modern settings, these features are often sought after by those who appreciate craftsmanship and history. The uneven, hand-crafted appearance of these windows contrasts with today's mass-produced glass, making each pane unique and full of character, adding not just aesthetic value but also a tangible connection to the past.

I can't really bring myself to draw at the moment, so here are some of the MLC W.I.P.s and sketches that I've had sitting around, abandoned and otherwise, because I miss these guys.

Considering reading a summary of the Terrifier movies just to add that funky clown to the slasher orphanage cast because I feel much affection for him when I see clips online but I’m not too much of a gore person. That clown compels me though… I could put myself through the first movie but like also I don’t HAVE to do that, you feel? I watched The Collector for that character and it was soooo boring to me, I don’t want to do that again.
