When I first came to Druidry I put in some years honouring the wheel of the year. During that process, I learned that what I was working with is a modern system, inspired by Celtic practice, but no…

This is an interesting perspective. And it gives a lot of food for thought. Perhaps indeed a local climate journal? Particularly with climate change happening, this could be a very necessary reference at some point.

“Life Finds A Way” 

Dandelions are pretty much my heroes of the plant world.

No matter what we do to this planet, life will find a way - with or without us.

Another older render. A Dusk character of mine, that I was doing promo renders for at the time.

Memory Bound - More light & shadow play, also some practice with cloth simulation.

This one mostly just kind of came out of nowhere on me. I went along with it, but it basically built itself. I spent most of time practicing on the clot simulation and the lights... the scene elements themselves came together very quickly.

En Pointe - light play along with trying to sort out the cat’s fur. I was never happy with the way the fur came out, but the overall image was too cute to throw away.

Love it!

This is another older image that I just happen to still like. It was initially supposed to just be a “simple” render to accompany a tutorial as example of what could be done with the tutorial... and... it kind of got out of hand and took off in it’s own direction.

This is just beautiful!

Three stages of yawn, by Ripley

LOL! Love it. Makes me miss our snakes all over again.

This is another older image, but I still like it. I was just playing around with the Hivewire housecat here.

Adelaide.

This was a render from an unfinished skin package for the Daz Genesis 3 Female figure. One of these days I need to go back in and finish it up. 

Hair by Samil, dress by Fredels, morphs & skin are mine. I forget where the earrings came from. 3Delight render.

Absher: The Google-approved Saudi government app that tracks women

The software has been criticized by human rights groups and politicians for facilitating discrimination against women in Saudi Arabia.

REALLY, Google? REALLY?

You’re that desperate to increase your profits, that you’re going to stoop to this kind of a low? The money is all that matters to you, eh? This kind of pathetic, cheap, disgusting crap is shameful, Google. We can’t stop the Saudi government from being filled with sexists and violent a-holes, but there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that an American company should be helping them do it. But it’s ALL about the MONEY, right, Google?

Who cares if it comes to you soaked in the blood of Saudi women?

Fuck you, Google.

So, this is what happens when we have an unnaturally warm (for us) December. I miss the snow...

[childeoffyre]

I did a beta test for AetherDreams’ wonderful “World Jacket” textures for Dusk’s bomber jacket, and this render just kind of.. happened in the middle of it.

I converted her Poser textures from .mc6 over to .pz2 to see how they looked in DS, under an un-intended use type of situation, and found out that they render quite nicely even in Studio. I did not make any edits to the materials, actually. This was a straight load-and-render of the Poser materials inside of DazStudio.

[childeoffyre]

So, this is what happens when I can’t sleep! Argh. At least it’s a constructive use of the time, I suppose.

This stunning image is making its rounds on the internets, and for good reason! This is Native American actress Melaw Nakehk'o wearing a special Valentino x Christi Belcourt dress to the Hollywood premiere of The Revenant last night! Nakehk'o, who is Dene and originally from Fort Simpson, N.W.T., plays a character named Powaqa, and acts alongside one of my all-time fave actors Leonardo DiCaprio! #therevenant #melawnakehko #valentino #christibelcourt #dene #hollywood #redcarpet #badass #metis

Eighth Generation is what modern Native American design looks like without cultural appropriation 

Louie Gong describes his company, Eighth Generation, as “a Native-owned, community-engaged small business that began when I started putting cultural art on shoes.” It’s true, in 2008, Gong began decorating sneakers and skateboarding apparel with indigenous Nooksack patterns — a move that, as a Nooksack himself, set him apart from the non-Native designers who’d been doing so for years. As demand grew, so did Gong’s ambition.
