Bowynn Gods: Io
Io (Eye-oh) Goddess of the hearth, domesticated fire, cooking and kitchens, the home, warmth and family. She is the daughter of Phoenix but her father is unknown. She is an all-around domestic goddess but mostly dealing with areas around the kitchen. And Io is one of the most revered of the Bowynn Gods. She is the goddess that blesses all food as it’s cooked. She cleanses and cleans cooking supplies and wards pests from the kitchen and home. When she is rarely not in the home, Io often wanders markets to see that picked produce and food is fresh and healthy. Back in the home, when not cooking, Io labors to keep the home clean. Io’s name means “Soot” and she is sometimes called Soot Girl or Soot Woman. As her fire attribute, Io makes sure all home fires (lamps, hearths and candles) burn safe and without mishaps., She also tends to the family needs, to make sure beds are made and clean, tables are clear and floors are swept, laundry is clean and purified.
There are not too many sacred stories of the goddess Io, as she is often contained to the homes of Bowynn folk. The most important stories tell of her spending the seven sacred days with the first tribes of people and taught the fine arts of cooking. This included baking till the god Hyu took over that attribute. At first Io was apprehensible about handing over such a duty to Hyu, being a man. But Hyu proved himself most worthy. What’s more, Hyu charmed Io and eventually wed her. For their wedding feast Hyu made Io the most tremendous beautiful cake ever.
The goddess Io is almost seen as a mother figure; your hair pulled back and wrapped in a ribbon. Her clothing is most plain and grey in color. Not too many times is she seen wearing a Bowynn Hlad, instead an apron. Unlike other gods, she has no totem animal, so if Io is seen outside a home, often in the market square, she is wrapped with a grey stola, so not to draw her immortality to others. Instead of a staff, Io bears a broom to clean out hearths. Sacred offerings to Io consist of food, incense and votive candles.

I’m so so so far behind this week. Multiple school projects, caring for my grandfather, and visiting my boyfriend took over my life, particularly the schoolwork.
I actually did these while with my boyfriend. He knows art helps me and how being behind upsets me, and so he made time for me to work on catching up. I sketched them out as he napped next to me, very cutely I might add, and I inked them as he spoke on the phone with his friend.
Don’t you just hate it when you find a detatched arm in the rain? And teeth start falling from your candle?
Kecske
Egy újabb logóterv amit nemrég készítettem. A feladat egy mitikus lény ábrázolása volt, ezért választottam a kecskét, aminek a vére olyan forró, hogy még a gyémántot is feloldja.
Goat
Another logo draft I made recently. The idea was to make a mythical creature, so I decided to go with the not so known he-goat, which blood can melt diamonds.
The Medieval Bestiary says the following: The he-goat is a lascivious beast, known for its lusty nature. This nature makes the he-goat so hot that its blood can dissolve diamond, a stone neither fire nor iron can harm.
You can only know
The phoenix
From the ash
It leaves behind
