Brother, we hunt not with horse nor hound . . . but hope to pluck a dainty doe to ground.
I love drawing them
( happy indigenous peoples' day! consider donating to the urban indigenous collective! )

Red fox commission piece. Severely disfigured but completely healed injury! Radiographs and skull under the cut. This piece was a real challenge but I’m so glad I got the chance to preserve him
I am a licensed taxidermist, all pieces are legally sourced and held
Eurasian sparrowhawk commission
A very large female that sadly hit a window (a small proportion of females will present with slight male colouration), mounted to be curiously looking down from a high spot!

i have v much distanced myself from ep//ic becuase it got too weird and (v unfortunately) incesty :’) the only modern greek retelling I accept now is hadestown 🫡
I feel like modern ‘retellings’ of Greek mythos (especially the Homeric epics) have a tendency to glaze over the horrors of it all in favour of romanticising the men. Achilles was a butcher, who was indirectly responsible for the deaths of many of his own men including Patroklos by his refusal to fight after Agamemnon stole his ‘prize’ (a woman, and therefore slave, Briseis). In Euripides’ telling, Odysseus convinces the council to allow him to kill Hector and Andromache’s infant son, Astyanax, by throwing him from the city walls when Troy falls (he also kills him in Iliou persis). Hecuba, queen of Troy, is enslaved by Odysseus following the fall, and in one telling she was saved by the gods from this fate by them turning her into a dog so she could flee. Polyxena, daughter of Hecuba, willingly accepts her sacrifice after Troy is overtaken as she deems it better to die than to have to live a slave woman under the Greeks. Menelaus had plans to kill Helen when they got her back (when ‘saving’ her from the Trojans, whether or not she willingly eloped with Paris or was abducted depending on the telling, was the main reason the Trojan war began in the first place).
At the end of the day, it isn’t my place to dictate how others interpret or rewrite things, but it does bother me that so much is overlooked when it comes to it :’)
How it feels to read a book where the women (Briseis and others) are portrayed justly and the men’s actions aren’t romanticised in the slightest
Artfight for sheeptastic! Super fun character to draw
Art fight for @elizabethospeaks of Narcyz’s horse, Chloris! Get a load of this DIVA
btw now is the best time to keep boycotting. the israeli economy has never been weaker. don't stop the protests or the demands for divestment. keep supporting organisations like the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Accountability Archive. ofc don't stop boosting and donating to Palestinians as Gaza is still uninhabitable.
enjoy this moment but the work has not ended
