You're drunkenly stumbling home one night and from the duckboards through the booze haze you see the most scrumptious ass teasingly glide away deeper into the dark swamp. You follow, legs getting heavier and orientation more difficult by each step.

How many times that scenario has played out in Ditovo is not easy to calculate but it's likely not zero. The more sober locals will tell you that the slamreta, also known as "harlot of the lake", is not a malicious creature, it wants nothing to do with you in fact. This animal uses inflatable sacs on its hind legs to float on the water's surface perfectly still as it looks for fish or other small things to eat. It hunts using its sharp vision and plunges its long neck to reach prey. It's long tail is curled up to act as a stabilizing anchor. At sign of danger the slamreta can deflate the hind leg sacs to dive and swim away. It spends most of its time in water and will build a nest in-between reeds or other shore vegetation.

Rhodonite Wolf fantasy art doll

This doll is designed and made by me fully from scratch. The coloration is one of a kind and won't be reproduced. 

Resin, fabric fur, wire+plastic armature, feathers, primer, acrylic paint, varnish. Posable neck has plastic ball-and-socket armature inside and can be posed. Tail and wings are also posable and contain wire armature inside. Legs contain wire armature inside, so you can carefully and slightly move it to find perfect balance if you keep the doll on uneven surface.

Sphinxes are crafty the same way that coyotes or bears are crafty. Their cleverness shouldn't be underestimated, yes, but they're not going to win any battles of wits against something like a corvid or a parrot.

Ongvorea

A sacred beast and apex predator of the Ditovian forests. This creature spends most of its time hanging upside down from a branch, motionless. Moss and other plants grows on its shell effectively camouflaging it. When it senses that prey is near, by detecting exhaled carbon dioxide, it extends its proboscis that functions like a highly venomous harpoon. It fires this "harpoon" (radula tooth) into the prey which is incapacitated, if not outright killed, more or less immediately. Then the creature slowly makes its way down the tree to feed. If it is a large enough meal it won't have to feed again for a long time.

To the ditovians this is no ordinary animal, its close relationship to the divine evident by the spiral on its shell. The fact it has no bones and carries its own house are also noteworthy aspects in ditovian belief. The ongvorea is also one of the few land animals that ditovians are allowed to consume, however the meat can be deadly if not properly prepared and such feasts are saved for special occasions.

guess what I did today?

the celestial peryton vase! that blue will be very dark and the aurora should show up brightly 🤞🏼

after carving the perytons, I covered the piece in wax, then carved the aurora through the wax. I painted underglaze over the aurora to give it some bright green, and when I wiped the excess colour away. the wax protected everything underneath. that pottery technique is called mishima

kinda wish I’d recorded it as an actual video and not just a timelapse, it goes just a little too fast imo

[daily-fantasy-ideas]

Creatures with crystal-like carapaces and scales which all fit together making the creature look like a cloudy whole crystal, aside from its head which it buries in the earth.

To further this effect the creature can also secret a solution that fills in the small gaps between the carapaces and scales making it look even more like an actual crystal.
