Any pics of how it looks when used?

The "cursive script" is evolved from the ordinary script that way. The
ordinary script itself has also evolved somewhat. The proto-version,
which was made from scratch (but inspired by hebrew script and
katakana), is as old as my previous main project (panowa, nee ca. 1988).
The proto-script was made for that lang and evolved with it.

Prior to that there was another script (with accompanying lang), which
was made from scratch. Hmm... nope, nothing of it scanned in anywhere.

Funny, seems the scripts and the langs always go hand-in-hand for me

It's been so long I honestly can't remember :)

Some urls:
Ordinary script:

Older version of ordinary script (ca. 1990):

Nothing seems to be scanned in for burruwan and the islander-language[*].
