Nalanix' art den @ayinnimaakii - Tumblr Blog

Óki ("hello and welcome to my circle") dis is my art account, @nalanix-officialll is my side account where I reblog a bunch!

Always feel free to reach out and never be afraid to spam like/reblog! I love to chat (and you're free to ask for my Discord).

I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions about my art, but if you're racist about it, then I may not give you my time.

Just dropping by to say your art is gorgeous. The colors are so vibrant and lovely and you draw birds so good.

Ah thank you so much! You are very kind :>

#i specialized my art in drawing birds #i felt there wasnt a lot of art out there that really stylized birds in a manner that flows with their anatomy #no judgement there! more-so decided to take an art niche that seemed a little vacant #notmyart #nala yaps

Ok but like, never thought about it, but formline is a perfect style to draw Subnautica in!

Áa! Yes I agree! I started the art piece for a friend of mine fighting homelessness (they love Subanutica), but as I was drawing, I went, "Wait. Actually, this works really well in formline???" (-I'm no Profesional so the fact that I figured out a decent flow somewhat intuitively is what got me to realize)

I did the Peeper first, which is when I had the realization, I ended up incorporating more salish design into it by the end as well.

But I'm thinking of doing more!

#thank you!#notmyart #nala yaps

hello i hope you're having a good day, can i ask what language your bio is in and what it says? your art is gorgeous btw

thank you

Óki! (Hello!) I apologize for not seeing this sooner!

I am amskapi piikuni (southern Blackfeet, part of the Blackfoot confederacy) my people come from the northern Montana to southern Alberta range, we speak Nitsi'powahsin, or "blackfoot". There are 4 dialects, so keep that in mind while I explain the translation:

It is a greeting and introduction, Óki I often translate to "hello/hi." However, it's a little more complicated. It's also like welcoming someone toward yourself if that makes sense! (Similar stem words are used for saying something in relation to yourself, or to say "come on/lets go!" Like in okí or kitáínoki "you see me" (spelling isn't strict, just phonetic)

"Óki! Niisto nitáánikko Nala, nímohtotoo amskapi piikuni" = "Hello! I am called Nala, I come from the southern Piikani(/piikuni) nation", it's one of the more common ways to introduce yourself in my language.

I could also say "Niisto ámok" (I am), for example, and there is also a common one that more literally translates from English' "my name is" but I don't use that one as often!

-please keep in mind the Latin alphabet is NOT a good representation of pronunciation, it's just kinda the main writing system we use for nitsi'powahsin (blackfoot). Yes I know about the syllabary system, I personally feel it doesn't work very well for the language, we don't use the same structures as Cree or Ojibwe

Thank you for asking! And thank you so much for the kind compliment :>

#also keep in mind that im not fluent #theres many ways to speak it #theres also old ways of speaking it and new ways #notmyart #nala yaps
