tale goes that there’s a Tsarevich in a land far away. His father wanted him to marry, but Voron’s heart has always yearned to fly away, over countries and seas. And every day his father, the Tsar would bring a suitor to him, but Voron could only deny. His heart was a raven’s, and his love was the skies.

In the end, seeing his son so upset convinced the Tsar to let Voron go. His son was joyous, he turned into a raven and took off to the clouds, and he flew to lands unknown, and he sang songs no one sang. People say if you hear the song of a lone raven, there is a chance you might’ve just spotted Voron.

Nicholas II and his dogs

All Romanovs adored pets in general but in particular dogs. The Emperor's favorite breed was collies, and he kept a kennel of at least a dozen of them at Tsarkoe Selo.

His two favorite dogs were Raven and Iman. He got Raven when he was seventeen. Raven died in 1895, leaving the Tsar disconsolate. On 28th September 1895, Nicholas wrote his mother: “I have only just received your telegram in reply to mine about poor Voron’s [Raven] death, which made me so sad. I buried him on the Detski [Children’s] Island and placed a tombstone over his grave. Now it is so lonely and sad whenever I take my walks, especially when Alix does not come along . . .”.

In 1896, Grand Duchess Ella Alexandrovna gave the Tsar another Collie. He called the dog Iman and grew as close to him as to Raven. Iman died in 1902. Nicholas wrote to his mother...“I have just suffered a very heavy grief – the loss of dear old Iman – ... I must confess the whole day after it happened, I never stopped crying – I shall miss him dreadfully when I go for walks. He was such an intelligent, kind, and loyal dog!”.

Nicholas continued to have Collies and to take long walks with them, but after the loss of Raven and Iman, he did not allow himself to grow as close to them. In his diaries and letters to his mother, he refers to them as merely "the dogs." No names again.

In the graves of the family dogs on the children's island (marked by black obelisks), the dates of the family dogs can be clearly seen:

Шилка [Shilka] 1894-1910

Иман [Iman] 6 December 1895 – 2 October 1902

Ворон [Voron / Raven] December 1889 – September 1895

Эра [Era] 1894-1906

I don't know who "Shilka" was, but Era was the Empress' dog. If you look carefully at the first photo above, a little bundle of fur is standing by the Empress. That was her. (gcl)

I haven't been just playing video games this whole time I haven't been drawing. I've also been building a robot.

Meet my 300mm^3 Voron Trident! I want to name it but I'm horrible at naming things so if anyone wants to chime in with something I'm all ears.

It's not fully done yet as I need to wrangle the nest of wires underneath and attach some side panels.

I'll get back to art eventually. I don't know when, but I will.
