BEHOLD : My First Creation In MagicaVoxel!

I find it a bit funny that i was drawn to cara bacause of the online glaze feature...only to realize that it has a cooldown and literally isn`t available while i`m awake during the day.

I said screw it and decided to post stuff anyway without glazing it. Ai is not worth my sleep scedule lol

No shade to the creator of Cara though. The fact they teamed up with glaze and made the feature available in the first place is so cool (even if i can`t use it). Hope to get webglaze at some point but from what i understand it is invite based.

Almost forgot the last creature I made for the cryptid artbook project: the Chugaister from Ukrainian mythology. Described as a large bear-like man, naked and super hairy (with almost animal-like fur), that roams the Carpathian mountains. Despite his appearance, he is a benevolent creature and doesn’t seem attack humans unless provoked. In fact, according to tales, he’s quite friendly towards people. He doesn’t speak like humans, but if he encounters you camping in the forest, he will gladly join you to dance around a bonfire, engaging in a sort of friendly dance battle. He’s super chill overall, especially if you share your food.

Additionally, the Chugaister protects humans from evil spirits and dangers, including NIAVKAS.

You might have heard of "Mavka" from the cartoon "Mavka, the Forest Song." BUT Mavkas and Niavkas are separate beings in folklore (though there is some overlap). I remember reading these different interpretations of the same entity come from different regions (can`t find right now) , but generally:

Mavkas are benevolent, playful forest spirits, almost like forest nymphs with green hair. Niavkas, on the other hand, are described as having transparent skin on their backs through which you can see their organs, usually covered with long hair. They are considered extremely dangerous, akin to skinwalkers or certain types of Fae (if you’re familiar with Fae/Fey mythology).

I have one crazy conspiracy theory that I 100% believe in, and it's it's that:

Russia created and spread most of those "flat earth" "lizard people" "harmful vaccines" "fluorite water" "5G" conspiracies (And hundreds of other "trust no one, everything's fake"-type conspiracies) through the sheer amount of bots that they have, on Facebook and other social media. I genuinely believe it's the Russian propaganda machine that started and fueled those "Flat Earth"- type conspiracies, either as an experiment to see how susceptible people are to propaganda, or as a means of making people not trust scientist or anyone around them and start arguing that "Maybe 2+2 isn't 4? Maybe we should question things like that?".

I genuinely,

in my heart of hearts,

believe,

that the "Flat Earth" theory started with two russian trolls betting on a bottle of vodka and a 500 rubles after one of them said:

"I could convince those bitches that the earth is flat if I wanted to!"

And the other said:

"Nah, Vasia. You're drunk. They may be stupid but not that stupid"

And the first said:

"You don't believe me? *hiccups* I'll show ya! I bet my whole next month's salary to you!"

That is my conspiracy theory. That it's Russia who mostly creates crazy conspiracy theories about world control, mind control and distrust... in order to control people, influence their minds and make them distrust everything.

Honestly... here is a frog i found when rummaging through my krita files. Not only does he have a sword, but is also giving you thumbs up. I forgot i even drew him, and look...he`s not even bothered. He just chilling, saying "You got this bro!"

@kithpendragon and now we just wait before he "finds evidence" of Greenland or Canada "oppressing American citizens on their land because of rizing anti-american sentiment or america-phobia" or sum shit. And they are gonna be "left with no other choice" than to "protect those Americans outside of America".

Bonus points if those enemies start "bombing themselves for 8 years" and there is a suspicious "separatist movement" that doesn't get weapons from anyone, cus that's just "their own weapons and uniforms, u know"

Russian "metodichka" accepted as second skin

Yeah this isn't...the good answer he thinks it is.

He wants Greenland for the mineral rights under the melting ice. Because this country is entirely run by greedy bastards like we are some Dr. Seussian villain or something. Like Yertle the Turtle may the leaders of America be humbled and sundered.

People from the outside sometimes tell us to concede those lands, that Ukraine should sacrifice them or make a compromise. But that is not that easy when those lands in questione are not just pieces of teritory in Hoi4 but instead... someones home someones childhood someones life someones city they had to leave behind Imagine how betrayed you would feel if you were told that your home/street/city that you fleed, should be given up as some kind of sacrifice or exchange to those that came to destroy it, conceded like a resource in a game to appease

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

This is the first video from this guy i ever saw, and he put my thoughts as a Ukrainian into words SO neatly. Every word. As they say: "Ні додати, ні відняти".
