Time to update the doodles thread! I drew lots of anthro bovids (not calling them minotaurs since there’s no Minos in Noss) for the signed hardcovers of Feral Flame, which will be sold at MFF in a few weeks. Here’s the first set, all thick and muscular.

I considered that initially, but I’ve been told that the spider facing upward is her going to retrieve the fire, and when she’s facing downward that’s when she has the fire on her back and is bringing it to the people. So I figured it’d be more fitting if she was facing downward

This piece is meant to be a play on how the Cherokee word jiyu means both tulip poplar and airplane, because tulip poplars were used for canoes and so canoes were called jiyu, then all boats were jiyu, then planes were called jiyu as well

Ofc!! I live in the south and man it’s Everywhere. There’s a Cherokee genealogy group on Facebook and out of the hundreds of lines they run every month only like 1.7% actually have Cherokee ancestry. And they have a list of some Funny excuses people have made for why they Are Actually Native lol

And even twisted things like families getting stolen land and property in the Cherokee Land Lotteries, and those stolen heirlooms being claimed by the white families. there’s definitely no one origin for it, but it sure is widespread

There are a number of origins for it, but that’s the first I’ve heard of that! Makes perfect sense tho. I’ve heard that mixed folks would claim native cuz it was better than mixed, whites in the confederacy would claim native ancestry to show their ‘deep roots’ in the south,

I’m open for these kinda of figure drawings over on my kofi!
