Eternal Snow Tortoise
Look guys i know Christmas is over, but there's just something about it, idk its just make me feel SO GOOD. Maybe its the presents, the eggnog, or maybe its the big 'ol hugs from friends. But one things for certain, Christmas ain't nothing without you Smallies. <3 Much love from your Eternal pals. By the way eternaltortoise.com is shutting down soon. Just chill here for all of your comic pals. No one ever went to that website anyway, no matter how f-ing cute it was. =[ =] Hhehehhehe
Eternal Tortoise Part 5: The Tortoise Talisman
Volume five, Issue 15
That tortoise sure does look toast though. I wonder if mother crane can save him in time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final frame has been left uncolored... if you haven't noticed. Me finish it someday. perhaps soon. perhaps not. :(
Smallie is the chosen one. How will he save the tortoise race with only 7 more comics left to go? No 1really kno.
I still gotta add the tiny eagles to this and finish the backgrounds...LATER.

If you want to skip around just change the numbers at the end of that url from 1-100. I know it's annoying. We'll be getting another website eventually.

That's another one that seems very obvious in hindsight, but I suspect like many others, I struggled to stop thinking of geese!
Although they are still very rare in britain, looks like the Common Crane was native to England in the middle ages (and that bestiary illustration is actually not a bad likeness!)
Bestiaryposting Results: Nadokwak
At time of writing this, there are only a couple depictions posted, so this might be a short one -- we'll see if others pop up later tonight. Maybe this bird just isn't that artistically inspiring.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can find an explanation and the rest of this series at https://maniculum.tumblr.com/bestiaryposting.
The entry our artist are working from for this post can be found here:
And the one for the next post, if you want to participate, is here:
Now, art below the cut:
@silverhart-makes-art (link to post here) says the description put them in mind of waterfowl, which they gave a long neck and an erect posture for the effect of vigilance. Solid waterfowl; I really like the feather pattern on the neck. For more details on the design and its inspirations, see the linked post.
@cheapsweets (link to post here) has drawn this really pleasant little scene, for which they credit Tove Jansson as stylistic inspiration. (I've got to read the Moomin books at some point; those little troll critters are always on my dashboard and I know nothing about them.) Genuinely delightful. Also note that the standing Nadokwak is holding a rock in its foot to stay awake while guarding the others.
So, the Aberdeen Bestiary:
This is, as you can probably guess from the image, the crane.
I don't have much to add to this one, other than that medieval Europeans really seemed to find cranes evocative. They're not on the level of, like, lions in terms of semiotic saturation, but they come up now and then, usually in a positive light.
I kept getting a sense of deja vu about this one, and Silverhart mentioned the same -- when I went to include one of my favorite Medieval Bird Factoids I think I figured out why. A previous entry, the Blisheag, is on a quite similar bird, and I had them confused.
Said Medieval Bird Factoid is not about cranes after all, so I'm going to leave this post here I suppose.
Very Good waterfowl (plus cute babies!) that I think just missed the cutoff again this week :)
Nadokwak
When I read that a bird flies in military formation, I think of Canada geese, a species I respect and have been menaced by (they wanted my chicken nuggies😔)
I decided to add some duck elements, and sibling suggested the wood duck. They also suggested the wing claws. Did you know that some birds have claws on their wings? Very cool.
The abstract background is just for fun.
So much of this year has involved loss on personal and vast worldwide scales. For me it involved loss of trust, loss of support systems, loss of safety, loss of jobs, loss of hope, loss of health, and at times prepping for possible loss of life. I have been scraping together what I can to regain of those things that feel lost, as I don’t believe all are always gone forever. I keep telling myself “this month will be better” only to have it sort of crumble in my hands, but I can’t give up. We all have small spark inside that can keep us going. Even if I have very dark days where it seems to burn low it always comes back. I hope it keeps you going too.
We all are suffering, but we all can improve one another’s lives if we choose to care. I apologize if I sound a little sappy here, but please make the choice to stop today and reach out to someone and offer them something they need. Whether it is financial (if you can), help picking something up for them, just a card, an offer for a coffee, or just your presence and a listening ear.
Give some of your spark to someone who feels their’s burning low so we can all get out of this time together.
If you like this piece I will have mini prints available within two weeks. You can get large prints at my Inprnt, or pledge at the Sovereign tier at my Patreon (which is $4 cheaper than buying it on my Etsy) and get this as this month’s mini print reward if you pledge before May 1st! Both are linked in my link tree in my profile. Thank you all as always for all the support you’ve offered me over the past few months whether it was financial, emotional, or just some quick kind words. It has helped me keep going during a time where I have sometimes felt extremely broken and alone.
Find prints and more.
Happy International Women’s Day
Prints of this are for sale at my Inprnt and Etsy and stickers are available at my Etsy too if you are interested!
So much has changed in the world since I last drew this, which wasn’t even that long ago, and yet nothing has. Women are still a vulnerable in our society physically, financially, and more. We are nowhere near accomplishing the wish for peace, equality, and safety for all that I put into the last version. On top of that there is a current loud and amplified hate for any womanhood that falls outside of the cis “norm” so that is top of mind for me too now. We can’t just support cis women and watch as trans women are harmed over and over. Like mentioned my original piece was about hopefully finding a day in the future where all women can live without fear of harm or discrimination simply based on their gender, and this is still true with a emphasis on ALL women
I hope again for all my friends and family, and all the people who see this piece and beyond that we one day live in a world that is so much safer, accepting, and loving
