There is always something worth fighting for

Jude-27 I mostly reblog, occasionally make illustrations or other art. I don’t have a specific blog theme and will post and reblog randomly. There will be spoilers for whatever I’m into at the time. I’m really invested in both Hollow Knight and Silksong right now.

From last night- Ministers and Rosaries

Carving Rosaries

Overseen by Ministers, these workers carved rosaries in the high halls of the Citadel. Their order is mostly made up of the same species of bug as Pharloom’s Mask Maker.

I’m working with holbein artists gouache again. It’s very difficult!

I am thrilled to announce…

Physical orders for my crocheted Knight plushie are officially available!!

I've been working hard on sorting out the logistics of making all of this possible, from sorting out shipping, deciding on pricing, making a brand new Knight plushie to finalize decisions, and more! But the wait is finally over—if you've been wanting your very own little Ghost, they are now available for purchase here on my Etsy store!

Some facts at a glance:

They're selling for 70 USD. I'm aware that this is a rather steep cost for many (I know! I'm sorry!), but I decided this was the fairest price for the amount of work I put into them.

There is also an option to add 15 USD to also get their nail and scabbard! Make sure you select the correct option when purchasing.

I'm currently only shipping to territories within North America. Rest assured, this is temporary! It will change once I figure out more details about shipping out products to buyers.

On that note, free shipping within the United States! (Sorry non-US folks :( international shipping is just too expensive...)

This is a big, exciting step forward for me, and honestly I'm not too sure what to expect. But, I'm down to roll with the punches and go with the flow of things. In the meantime, there's a little friend waiting for a new forever home! Maybe you'll be the one to take them with you?

For the crafty folks among us, here's another reminder that I also have a pattern for this plushie available!

Caloplaca pellodella (syn Caloplaca conglomerata) 

So a long time ago (not actually so long ago) people would look at lichens and be like "huh yeah, those pretty much look the same. They must be the same." And then some nerds were like "actually if you look at the really really closely and look at the chemicals they produce and stuff, you will notice they are actually different, but probably closely related." And then more nerds invented genetic analysis and were like "um actually, a lot of these lichens that don't look the same are actually the same, and a lot of these lichens that do look the same are not actually that closely related at all." And then because some other nerds invented computers and the internet, all the lichen nerds can argue about it from around the world, and we (also nerds) are stuck trying to clean up the messes made with naming these species before we had this all great new technology. Exhausting, really. So here I have a lichen that on one site is called Caloplaca pellodella synonymized with Callopisma conglomeratum, and on another is Caloplaca conglomerata synonymized with Caloplaca peludella, and look, I just gotta assume they are all talking about the same dude and he has just been named and renamed and typoed a thousand times over in the many years since someone first decided to classify him. And if any of y'all recall my good pal Jan Vondrák, he is currently working on disentangling the messy Teloschistaceae family and will probably end up reassigning/renaming it soon anyway. The Sisyphean reality of learning lichens.
