"Into The Synthetic Caverns", a 2023 Chocolate Level Design Contest entry, designed by "The Dark Warrior" and graphics collabed with artist, "Kixune". The level looks fantastic, with stunning underground and mechanical themes explored throughout the level. For a level that was submitted nearly three years ago, it still holds up rather splendidly.
Finalized title screen art by "Kixune".
Screenshot of the "Synthetic Caverns" stage.

The first drawing was commissioned in 2023 by "TheDarkWarrior".
The sketch was to be used to convert into a proper title screen and a level, as a Chocolate Level Design Contest entry.
Fascinating level, honestly!

Concept art for a young black girl, with short coily hair. There are multiple copies of her in a grid shape, using the same pose. Her outfit is the only thing that changes. Some of her outfits are more brightly colored than others. These are the fits im most likely going with btw. African styles tend to use brighter colors, and she is meant to be a more hopeful character. This is Amani Nyamai!
A bit of concept art for a new oc! #conceptart #unit-e #characterart #ocart #blackart

American artist John Biggers’s mature work often joined African and African American histories through pattern, symbol, ritual, and the monumental presence of women. Here, cloth suggests labor, inheritance, and cultural transmission, while birds, stars, spheres, and watery ground lift the scene into a cosmological register. The women are shown less as individual portraits than as bearers of knowledge, ancestry, and communal survival. Nine Black female figures gather in a shallow, luminous landscape that feels part earth, part water, part sky. They wear long patterned robes in warm browns, golds, reds, and greens, with several white headwraps rising like halos or crowns. Some hold or present woven cloth while others bend, turn, or lift their arms in gestures that feel ceremonial and communal rather than simply narrative. Birds glide overhead, stars and geometric orbs float around them, and the surface is threaded with circular, diamond, and textile-like motifs. Their bodies are elongated and graceful, their faces calm and masklike, and the entire composition moves in a wide arc, as though the women are weaving not only fabric but rhythm, memory, and shared presence. No men appear. The painting centers women as a collective force: dignified, watchful, spiritually grounded, and deeply connected to one another. Biggers’s travels in West Africa reshaped his visual language, and this painting reflects that turn toward African design systems and sacred structure. The title adds another layer: “Band of Angels” suggests protection, song, or spiritual company, while “the Seventh Word” likely evokes a final sacred utterance, though its exact meaning remains unclear to me. That uncertainty gives the work part of its power. It feels like a vision of women weaving together the earthly and the divine, making culture into a living, sheltering act.

A large story quilt opens onto a glowing field of sunflowers beneath a pale blue sky and buildings of Arles, France. Across the center, eight Black women stand shoulder to shoulder behind a quilt patterned with “Van Gogh” sunflowers: Madam C. J. Walker, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, Fannie Lou Hamer, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Ella Baker. Their names are written on the edge before them, turning the picture into both portrait and record. At lower left is Willia Marie Simone, American artist Faith Ringgold’s fictional Black woman artist-traveler from her “The French Collection” series, looking upward into the scene. At far right, iconic artist Vincent van Gogh stands apart holding cut sunflowers, more observer than hero. Handwritten text runs along the border, so the quilt is image, story, and testimony at once. Ringgold transforms Arles from a site of European artistic myth into a gathering place for Black women’s intellect, labor, survival, and political imagination. Quilting is the key. It is communal rather than solitary, historically linked to women’s work, Black memory, and intergenerational making. These sitters are not random icons but builders of freedom like abolition, anti-lynching journalism, civil rights, education, economic self-determination, and grassroots organizing stitched into one shared surface. The sunflower carries layered meaning. It nods to van Gogh, but Ringgold reclaims that visual legacy, placing Black women at the center while the famous male painter stands respectfully at the edge. In Ringgold’s broader thinking, quilting can stand for piecing a broken world back together. This work imagines art as collective world-making. Born in Harlem, Ringgold had learned sewing and fabric traditions through her mother, Willi Posey, and by 1991 she was fully using the story quilt to collapse the old hierarchy between “fine art” and so-called craft. Here, the women author history, beauty, and change together.
