wag̱aytdoot Txaamsm da wil ha'lidzog̱m - "raven is far from where we live (the earth)". sticker design for this month 🌌🐦‍⬛

#art #indigenousart #formline
a circular formline design of raven, floating upside down. his head is contained within a smaller circle, representing a space helmet, and he's holding a star in his beak. the rest of his body is coloured off-white like a spacesuit. a few connected ovoids in the circle's border represent the hose of the suit that delivers air to the helmet. the rest of the design's border contains stars and red, green, and blue galactic clouds.

#art #formline #indigenousart
a formline design of a scarlet macaw from its side. its beak is partially open; its tongue connects to two humanoid designs that surround it on either side. the tongues of the humanoids also connect back to the macaw, creating a continuous red line that circles around from its mouth to the back of its head. a couple of monstera leaves are also included in the design.

i don't feel like splitting this write-up across a bsky thread so here's the emotional background for the piece as a screenshot + alt text! me when i'm just too sleepy
during a rough trauma night around a year ago, i found someone talking about how some people with early C-PTSD learn to experience life through a "spacesuit", where they interface with the world with a highly adapted internal system that works around their traumas and gives a sense of control; there's a risk of this spacesuit eventually being ruptured, which leads to the system collapsing and a loss of that manufactured control, leading to breakdown. i can't find this comment again, but i heavily resonated with this metaphor. for my entire life, i've felt like i was an animal in a cage making the most of it. i internalized that i was created wrong or was handling myself wrong, that i needed to be controlled, and so many beliefs and ways of attempting to make myself comfortable in my spacesuit sprung from that understanding. i was isolated, and subconsciously padded my mind with magical thinking and dissociation to try to make myself happy despite it; eventually, a realization about my life situation 2 years ago punctured my suit, and i was utterly unprepared for the way it unmoored me. finding this interpretation of that breakdown process forced me to further reckon with how i'd existed until that point in my life - how i'd been stuck in a rhetorical cage that convinced me in a million ways that i didn't deserve to be myself, and was forced to try to be happy inside it by different experiences in my life. it was so painful to realize i had something of a stockholm syndrome with my own mind; i'd known deep down that the comforting beliefs i held were simultaneously suppressing me. but i wasn't convinced that it was possible to have what i wanted in life without that suppression, and when i finally gained that understanding, it shattered my facade. i've been surviving - but i wanted to put visuals to that desperation, the realization that the loneliness and ignorance didn't make me safe or special after all; the way it felt like i was losing my lifeline in the void.

tear in the spacesuit. a piece about C-PTSD, realization that leads to breakdown, and a loss of coping

#art #furry #furryart
an illustration of a silver-white wolf in a spacesuit. the wolf is reaching out towards the POV. her space helmet is cracked on one side; the cracked half is opaque, spiderwebbing in a way that the glass looks like the moon. the intact half is clear, showing her face with her mouth parted and her eye staring ahead intensely. air depicted as red smoke ejects from her helmet and a tear in the arm of her suit, creating clouds around her. the distant earth is faintly reflected in her helmet. an asteroid is depicted over her chest like a heart, leaving a dazzling trail of orange and red sparks that tear up her suit.

trespassing 🐾🛑 sticker design until the 30th on my patreon!

#art #indigenousart
a formline design of a wolf, coloured in bright orange. the formline wolf is laid over a few layers of a disjointed scene: a chain-link fence, with a snarling semi-realistic wolf drawn behind it; the top half of a concrete building; and lastly, a dark backdrop showing utility poles and street lights in the distance. a couple lights give off a lens flare.
