Beautiful Goddess Memes! My favorites are Idunn, Sigyn and Skadi. The most impressive, in my opinion, is Sigyn’s meme. The pictures really shows destiny and character of the goddess. Made by Disa
These are so lovely. My favourites are the Glut and Ran ones, which is a bit surprising for me. Perhaps time to explore some new goddesses?

Kickstarter Sticker Set! Get the reward when you back the Mark of the Conifer novel! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/941536304/mark-of-the-conifer-an-epic-dinosaur-novel
(Photo by Kevin Sonney)
When Kevin and I were in New Orleans a month or so ago, we were out birding and encountered this killdeer in a parking lot. It immediately set about convincing Kevin that its wing was broken. Really broken. SO BROKEN YOU GUYS.
Killdeer are, of course, justly famous for this trick. They do it to lure predators away from the nest. Kevin ambled after the bird with a camera and I watched them do a slow motion chase scene across the parking lot.
Eventually, having taken about a million photos, Kevin stopped. But the killdeer did not. There were four of us, but Kevin, rescuer of kittens, was clearly the menace. It was practically charging him waving its “broken” wing.
Kevin: No, I’m done, it’s okay.
Killdeer: MY WING IS SUPER BROKEN
Kevin: I have no interest in your nest.
Killdeer: THIS WING, RIGHT HERE? I BROKE IT IN THE WAR. TWO WARS. SEVEN WARS. SO MANY WARS.
Kevin: I’m starting to feel weird about this, bird.
Killdeer: AAUGH LOOK NOW MY OTHER WING IS BROKEN TOO
Kevin: …
Killdeer: I WILL RUN A LITTLE WAY AND FALL OVER WAVING MY BROKEN WINGS THE PAIN THE PAIN
Kevin: I’m not going to chase you.
Killdeer: YOU HAVE TO CHASE ME MY WINGS ARE BROKEN ALSO I BELIEVE MY LEGS ARE GOING
Kevin: This is just sad.
Killdeer: I BELIEVE I AM ALSO ON FIRE
Kevin: You’re still going.
Killdeer: THERE IS NO PAIN LIKE THIS PAIN PLEASE STEP A LITTLE FARTHER THIS WAY I AM SURELY ABOUT TO BE CAUGHT AT ANY MOMENT
Kevin: Fine, if it’ll make you happy.
(Kevin ambles after Killdeer)
Killdeer: JUST A LITTLE FARTHER…A LITTLE BIT FARTHER AND SURELY I WILL STOP RUNNING AWAY DID I MENTION THAT MY WINGS ARE SUPER-BROKEN?!
(Kevin, camera in hand, stumbles onto a group of King Rail chicks in the ditch)
Rail Chicks: AAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGHHHHMONSTER
Kildeer: AHAHA DEVOUR THEM, MY ENEMY, WHILE I FLEE BACK TO MY CHILDREN ON MY MAGICALLY HEALED WINGS
Kevin: …that bird is a jerk.
hahahaaaaa, Killdeers….
There’s this weird sensation you get (or at least I got) when you’re kind of figuring out your place in the world that whatever thing you are bad at is going to be the absolute most important thing you need to succeed. Like, I don’t even remember the train of thought it took me to get there but I remember in high school, despite getting top grades I had myself completely convinced that because I was bad at phys ed I wasn’t gonna get anywhere in life, as though my lackluster dodgeball skills were shooting my chances at a future career in the foot.
When I was at Sheridan I felt like they were always pushing illustrative painting skills and lifedrawing, and because I had no patience or aptitude for painterly rendering and didn’t have a good grasp of that buttery smooth Sheridan Life Drawing Style™ I would never get hired anywhere. I was sincerely convinced by some combination of my own neuroses and a handful of profs who taught as though their chosen path to success was The Only Way To Find Work that being a decent sequential artist who could write reasonably funny jokes and make people laugh was a worthless industry skill next to stellar painting and life drawing.
But then I get out there and find out the guy who paints really well worries that all the jobs are going to sequential artists, the guy who animates really well worries they aren’t a contender for high profile jobs if they can’t prove their writing skills, the one who has those top tier life drawing worries that skill doesn’t obviously translate into any part of the production pipeline. Everyone is convincing themselves that the set of skills that come the most naturally to them are easy for everyone else to get a handle on as well, and focus on their failings and insecurities while disregarding the honest, sincere assets they bring to the table.
It’s like a barbarian getting down on themselves for not being able to cast healing magic. Bro, you’re a barbarian, the clerics can’t hit things really hard a bunch of times as good as you can, their Cure Light Wounds spells don’t diminish your value to the group.
I guess I’m just saying, to all the kids graduating college and going out to look for jobs now, it’s scary but you have skills that are unique to you and the best thing you can do for yourself is embrace what makes you an asset and avoid getting too hung up and the parts of your stat tree that you didn’t fill out, no one gets enough points to fill the whole thing, that’s why it takes a team to do a job.

Chur the Majopi
The majestic Majopi! A barrel-chested beast of great speed and strength. Social creatures, majopi travel in family groups across open plains, grazing and foraging for food in lightly wooded areas and marshes. Omnivorous, they eat insects, fruit, shellfish and all manner of plant matter.
Forepaws are sturdy and compact for stability while running. And the back legs, have you seen them?! Why, I bet they could leap over the moon with legs like that! Split-eared, bat-nosed, llama-mouthed, what mother (or father, or whatever else) wouldn’t wanna give ‘em a great big smooch?!
This particular specimen goes by Codename: Chur!
Tremble-Heart Figment by kickingrabbit
A masked Figment! This one is Tremble-Heart, a manifestation of the butterflies you get in your stomach when you tell your secret crush that you like them for the first time!
Figments are a species I am toying with and definitely intend to develop more. They are manifestations of figments (as in, a figment of your imagination). The stuff of dreams, wishes, and energy. Most are intangible and maintain a physical presence with aid of a mask to which they are bound. Everything about their appearance (colors, shapes, masks) speaks to the kind of energy they derive from / inspire (a “what came first, the chicken or egg situation).
Behold, the Gronknar! A creature known to dig for bugs with its sharp claws and slurp them up with its long, sticky snout-tounge! Also reaches up into higher foliage to forage for fruit and leafy greens. Semi-aquatic hodge-podge of silliness. Enjoys honey, especially this bloke. Codename: Honeybunk!
Anyone interested in owning Honeybunk’s character, I am considering offers this week. Let me know or visit my DA to make an offer.

JACK KIRBY QUOTE POSTER MADE BY @RYLEEART!
I loved this quote and I wanted it on my wall so I asked my pal Ryan Lee to make me a poster of it that I could print. You can download the hi rez right here and print it yourself, too! This is my favorite thing I’ve ever read about comic art, and it hit me really hard. I hope it does the same for you.
You can follow Ryan Lee on Tumblr as well at ryleeart.tumblr.com. He’s an awesome artist in his own right.
Great words from Kirby to any artist starting out.
SAVE WOLVES IN EASTERN WASHINGTON:
These hostile, hate-themed billboards are being placed in areas around Spokane, Washington by various anti-wolf groups.
They are paying $3,456 for eight billboards. A 14’x48’ billboard costs an installation fee of $1,000 and a monthly payment of $1,800.
The group, Eastern Washington Wildlife Conservation, has created a fundraiser in an effort to put up a billboard with a message that counters these distorted advertisements.
Even a small donation will add up to fight for an accurate influence on the public’s perception of wolves! Is it worth it?
If you are willing, please donate to this cause by clicking here.
Alrighty, folks! I've started a Patreon page for my stories and illustrations. Anyone can see the story of the week, but sponsors get to read extra stories and vote on their favorite story to be illustrated! Patrons also get to see extra in-progress art and early stuff. The first vote ends tomorrow! Check it out!

Mafdet the First Born
"Raidiant The blue morning dawn Her breath rustling the corn feilds The scent of green warmth Golden Lady of the Corn Silk”
M. Fredette 1/7/14
The third and final illustration for my three-part mini project. A character from a novel currently being written by my buddy, Laura Jennings. In her story, Mafdet is a Sun Dog, child of Coyote, and the eldest of her siblings. Mafdet’s design is a collaborative effort between Laura and I, but the character belongs to her.
I am pleased with how the mane turned out. Even learned a few new tricks. Including how to draw corn!

Sir Rabbit Grimm
"And on the eve of His Resurrection Mr. Rabbit Grimm sat in contemplation, painting cheerful colors upon an egg, at the request of his good friend, in celebration of His Return”
1/31/14 M. Fredette
One of three illustrations and short writings done as part of the mini personal project I completed earlier this summer. My first try at inking with a brush. I managed to keep the creative “flow” while working on this, and am actually quite amused by my mistakes.
I should like to tell this Easter Bunny’s story one day. He didn’t always paint eggs…
