Greed, anger and boredom"

Cosmo Sheldrake "Come Along"

Autumn : (spook/spooky/spooks/spookself) Orange, white & violet floof with lots of fluffy fur, feathered wings, and autumn leaves in spooks fur; Autumn is basically the embodiment of the season and is fallxenic (seasogender), spook is mute and can only really squeak. Spook is even tempered and a lil odd, and just kinda hangs out lol

we need a better blinkie for spook TwT

Basil : (they/them : spri/sprig/sprouts/sproutself) A lanky Canadian lynx with white and brown fur and dark stripes and spots, with little plants (like '🌱') growing from sprouts head and tail; spri is a daydreamer and prefers plants over people, is always in sprouts garden being a dork :3 bloomcore kind of boi

Bayun : (they/them) A black Manx cat with red eyes! they are sweet and curious most of the time but they bite! they're also Russian; possible demon kin?

Brazier : (he/him) Big orange and white and black floof; Brazier is scottish and grumpy and sturdy, a blacksmith, and he's got a twisted hind leg which needs a brace to be kept straight

Firefly "Nexus" : (they/them) A dark blue floof with bioluminescent yellow dapples, they are a pet floof and wear a collar; they're mischievous and curious, always getting into stuff! They love food

Grayling : (they/he) A grayscale floof with layered marks, countershaded; they wear a hufflepuff scarf and they're shy and quiet, they prefer books rather than people and carry their trusty brown teddy bear. They fit most into the harry potter universe and have shown themself to be London British

Hemstitch : (they/them) A round black-gray floof with dark green buttons for eyes; they're from the coraline universe tbh, and they're timid and gentle with a fear of sharp things. They live in your attic /j

James : (he/him : spi/spice) A ginger and cream floof with darker overcoat markings, lots of layers in his pelt coloring, with brown freckles like pumpkin spice on a latte :3 He has bright sky blue eyes and wears big round wire rimmed glasses, nerd style; he's polite and clever and loves books, generally a college student and autumn boi. He likes to wear oversized sweaters, and fingerless mitts for his mitts; he's got the harry potter kind of British thing going on

Flame "Lordie" : (he/him) A large-ish black floof with red and orange, jagged horns and fiery swirl eyes, he's been my oc for the longest time, and finally he joins me in my system :D He has some fire powers, is confident and decisive, tho he can be aggressive (not an "evil alter" guys, he just bites a lil)

Sweetie : (they/them) A brown/gray tabby cat with olive eyes, they're a cerebellar hypoplasia / wobbly cat! Like some of the others they were an oc before kin and headmate; they're just a cheerful boi and they jus kinda love their life :D they have a mushroomcore and forestcore aesthetic

Guys guys guys… it’s Keo… yep, new hairdo, and he’s a hardworking blacksmith now. Yes all those heavy lifting and furnace burning shaped his physique.

If you've ever bought a handmade Japanese kitchen knife from @knifewear, you probably wondered how they make them. Well I kinda saw it for myself this weekend at the #YYC Japanese Festival this past weekend at the Max Bell. Pretty amazing. Even without the springhammer, it's still fascinating to see it happen up close and personal. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticesDayOff #yycfood #yycnow #yycvideo #captureyyc #yycliving #knives #japaneseknives #forging #blacksmith (at Max Bell Centre)

new character!

so this is the bull character I asked for help naming a bit ago.

I had such a difficult time deciding what his name was, the joke came up that “why not just give them all the names” so now

uhhh comically large amount of names! The design is not yet set in stone but please give a warm Welcome to:

Cinnabar Carmine Vermilli Cameron Denlo Apheroth Kizumi Aron Mik Aneru Henemi Salidar Evelion Ironhearth (the 8th??) newdawn Heromaker of the Crimson Citadel

He usually will just go by Cinnabar or Carmine, but has been trained to respond to each name given. She will accept any pronouns and more often than not just switch them around whenever they feel like it. The Ironhearth family is rather famous for one reason or another and is often seen as a terrifying force. Stoic hotheaded bulls with control over what people could only assume was hellfire.

The job of a hero maker is an important but thankless job. People are often ungrateful for the families wealth wondering why they were even necessary.

But the world is always in danger. There’s always some monster or threat trying to make it their own. Cinnabar has been alive for at least 2 of such attempts. And it’s well known that those who want to fight against these evils must get the hero’s mark.

Of course good natured people too far away can fight on their own but it’s well known that to be recognized one must go to the Crimson Citadel and be evaluated. Once they pass they will receive a signature soul infused weapon. Many people came to the Citadel doors seeking fame and wealth through the title of hero. It was the job of the hero makers to stamp that out.

To crush the dreams of fame fortune and power. To suffocate pride, and sort out those filled with greed. Many times people have come for these things and left furious when they were denied the status of hero. Cruelty became second nature to the Bulls of Ironhearth, to stomp out hope of wannabe heroes. Their brutality was seen as nothing short of barbaric. But in actuality was an act of kindness

One might think this idea absurd. Barbaric tests that could very well risk the sanity of whoever is subjected, in most cases it would be. But good things don’t happen to heroes. The world unites in danger, but when peace comes people are far too comfortable being unjust and crueler than any monster. The path to being a hero is not easy, physically it’s exhausting and incredibly taxing on the body. But more importantly the mental toll is greater than one can ever imagine. People are hardly kind to those they don’t recognize and they likely won’t recognize the hero once they return. The Ironhearth family is in charge of ensuring the potential heroes know this. Their job is to teach them absolute fear, to drag their mental states through the mud, and suffocate them with the darkest pits of despair. If they can push through then they know these people are worthy, if their will and desire to save others is strong enough to handle this, the family can rest easy knowing they can handle the mental cost of being a “hero” and they get to work preparing them for what lies ahead.

all in all.. they remain record keepers of past heroes forgot by the world. Heroes that return have a place in their Citadel. The family of bulls will forever be excluded from being hero's. But that doesn’t mean they cannot help ensure the best outcome for them.

Bowynn Gods: Gorto

Gorto  (Gor-toe)  The Gorto are Kii of forges and kilns. The Gorto are the helpful spirits of potters and blacksmiths. These Kii are said to be some of the small servants to brothers Kalen, Gondor and their wives. The Gorto try to assure that pottery will not shatter while baking and metal wares will not overheat or bend wrong while being forged. The Gorto will take residence most of the time in blacksmith's and potter's shops, close to the forges and ovens. Gorto often work hand in hand with The Abbonna.

Smithies, will have images of Gorto carved in their anvils and hammers, and Potters with have their images on the sides of their kilns. Potters and Blacksmiths will make the first object they create devoted to the Gorto or in the shape of a Gorto, this is a way of asking the Gorto to bless the crafter in all they make there-after.

#phillipSimmons #rattlesnakeGates a sketch I did as a tribute to a Charleston legend, a “heavy metal-esque” album cover. Rejected. I have to, the 70's heavy metal era has all the great album covers. They got rather generic in the 80s #chs #charleston #sc #charlestonSC #blackSmith

relistening to the castle crashers soundtrack and wanted to draw the silly purple knight
