Every guard needs his own proper portrait, so here is one for the one and only Taray Wazdeleba of the WeGS!

Some close-ups! The genet looks positively overjoyed. Is that because of the speed? Or from holding a handsome cave fox tight? Likely it's both!

Art by @rimou.bsky.social. Sakara and Kuveli are @sakarafox.bsky.social's OCs. Lani and Taray are mine!

Time for @sakarafox.bsky.social's cave foxes to be the Wantaelians' guests!
Kuveli loves riding Sakara's mare Pekka, so when Lani mentioned his motorbike and explained what it was, the kid asked for a race on a local country road! Plenty of fun—at 60 kph!

Art by the great @rimou.bsky.social!
An improvised race on a small brick road on Wantael Island in late Spring. Green fields and pastures, reminiscent of Ireland, Cornwall or Brittany. Blooming brooms and elderberries. In a background: the ocean coast, an optical telegraph tower and a village with isolated houses. Sheep grazing here and there. On the left, my fursona Lani, riding his orange motorcycle, with Kuveli, a young cave fox, as a passenger, euphoric with the speed. On the right, Sakara, a prehistoric fox, riding his grey mare Pekka, with my genet OC Taray as a passenger. Both have blue body paint on them. The viverrid looks overjoyed, likely from holding the fox tight.

The RSC is known for being first on honeymoon lists, for excess wealth storage, for cafés filled with trenchcoat-wearing Arconians and USPR people, and for the HQ of the Council Mondial.

However, it is a common misconception that the RSC has no defense forces *at all*.

Just got those beautiful headshots of my pine marten OCs, Ruška and his wife Eftela! Ruška is King Elman VI's librarian/archivist and Eftela is the captain of the Wantael Island Royal Guards.

Two pine martens, husband and wife. Ruška (on the left) is licking Eftela's cheek. She's wearing her dress uniform of the Wantael Island Royal Guards and looks pleased with Ruška's gesture of affection.

Extremely happy to be able to share this recent commission from @5suns.bsky.social, featuring a little crossover with some otherworldly explorers. Including @ometo.bsky.social's roecoon, Lani, who doesn't seem to fond of certain smaller locals taking an interest in his film stock.

A specimen of the Lentekan script, unwittingly written from right to left. Which makes sense, after all. Since the Lentekans were contrarian enough to create their own writing system, writing direction had to be different, too.

Down with the ocean god heathens!

Writing sample of the Lentekan Script, a vertical, right-to-left writing system of my invention. Written in black and red with Uni Kuru Toga mechanical pencils.

Just scanned some film I shot in January and February with my beloved Pentax 17. Really need to be more careful with my negatives (dust, scratches) but otherwise, some good surprises.

Just got a nifty pair of headshots from @dozakeet.bsky.social who really got my two boys right! Totally worth the long wait!

A headshot of my fursona/OC Lani, a roe deer-raccoon hybrid, wearing his uniform (no kepi but with antlers on.) A headshot of my OC Taray the genet, wearing his blue cardigan, winking with a wily smile on his proto-kitty face.

So this is the latest iteration of my writing system featured in many of my artworks. It really needed a proper key!

The Tawan Common Script (TCS) is used by about 103 million people on the Tawa Continent, including the Kingdom of Tagra and Wantael Island.

Day 2 of the Wantaelian diplomatic mission in Lentavohi territory! Gifts were exchanged including amber jewelry (a nonexistent material on Lani and Taray's planet), a flint spear, and a sexy outfit for the genet.

Time for assistant Kuveli to shoot a little newsreel with Lani's 1/3" movie camera!
Four characters in prehistoric clothes near a boreal lake at sunrise, in late Spring or early Summer. Sun is low on the horizon. The waters are perfectly idle, mirroring the sky. Flowers blooming in the grass, reeds on the lakeside. Standing on the left: Sakara the fox of the Lentavohi tribe, chatting with one of the Wantaelians who came from the mysterious portal: Taray, a tall and lean genet in a fur jockstrap, happily wielding a flint spear. On the right: Lani, a roecoon (roe deer-raccoon hybrid), standing near Kuveli, a fox teenager from the Lentavohi. The little one is crouching, enthusiastically decorating Lani's 1/3 inch movie camera with flowers and paw prints made from yellow ochre. The roecoon is observing him with some curiosity, possibly giving him some tips and ideas. Both visitors are wearing amber jewels, some decorating Lani's antlers.

Back from another raid overseas, famous sea raider Rivla of the Wazdel Clan is playing with one of his prisoners. Will he clean the plates during tonight's banquet? Will he be a cupbearer, pouring mead and cider for the warriors?

Or will he be set apart for more... hedonistic activities? #genet
Genet sea raider Rivla the Fair sitting, wearing a red gambeson and arm and leg armour, his right foot on a distressed fox prisoner lying on the ground, arms tied up. The genet is holding him at spear point with a wily smile, enjoying his captive.

Well this surprised me but I actually never reposted that autogyro piece here. So, here it is!

(my art, August 2023)

#autogyro #gyroplane #gyrocopter #rotorcraft
Lani piloting the Wantael Island Coast Guards fiery red and gold autogyro a few hundred feet above ground and still going up, with Taray in the passenger seat. The roecoon's in fact doing a little stunt, pulling the control column with his hooves to scare the genet who's realizing (but a bit too late) that tree kitty ≠ air kitty.

Writing spells and curses in shorthand is certainly one of the most important and underappreciated purposes of those cabbalistic writing systems.

It's March 10! Post a marten!

Ruška is Captain Soist's loving husband. He never expected to move to Wantael Island and become the King's librarian and archivist.

Lani works as his assistant when he's not busy with military duties!

Shitty day. Nonstop rain from dawn to dusk. Came back home drenched.

I don't care. Got a gorgeous handcrafted new pen from Kaohsiung, Taiwan 🇹🇼 and it was totally worth it.
