Various plants, mostly looking like tropical ones with large leaves, but also grasses and and some ferns. Some arranged on shelves, some sitting in large pots on the floor. In the background a medium-size HVAC box connected to large metal tubing and some cables.

In the end I modified this one a little. I added some golden smoke and subtle details and now it feels more complete :)

Illustration of a face in deep blue colors. Its surface is crisscrossed with golden lines of previously broken pieces. In the middle of the forehead there's a glowing depression reminiscent of a smoking bullet hole. Their eyes and lips are golden.
