"This power outage is brought you by Buffalo Wild Wings."

Sharks and Monkeys, Oh my!

So I've recently joined the Arcane fandom (have not seen any of it yet but have absorbed some fanfics and lots of youtube clips) and I gotta say...

The fact that Jinx/Powder's two animals associated with her are the

Monkey - very intelligent, often associated with being crazy, and the

Shark - can be extremely violent and dangerous, misunderstood creatures stereotyped by the public

Like...hm. The symbolism is well done in this one.

EDIT: I realized she also is represented by a crow/raven (not sure which), and well...

3. Raven - associated with bad omens and death, also very intelligent. Collects shiny things (the unrefined Hexgems, anyone?)

Some miscellaneous things I’ve done in the past two days. All from photo reference, but trying out different styles.

Ravens - alternate versions that I also like.

Ravens - finally found the courage to start posting art, more to come hopefully!

Humans have screwed up the world beyond what they are capable of repairing. In an act of desperation to mitigate the damage, they decide to genetically modify ravens. Why ravens? They have a similar intelligence to chimps and orangutans, great apes that have significantly larger brains. If the great apes currently running the world cannot solve the problem, then maybe another source of brilliance will guide humans from devastation.

The ravens are given longer life spans, larger bodies, and of course, proportionately sized brains. To allow the ravens to sustain their own culture and ideals, they are nurtured by non genetically modified raven parents but are taught about the human world by human teachers. Raised in secluded fields, jungles, and forests, they are brought up to speed on human technology and advances as they grow up.

As the first generation genetically modified ravens reach maturity and are having their own offspring, human leaders are reluctant to transition to leading with them side by side.

Feast of the Ravens

Too early late winter lamb Still and cold in the snow

The ewe bleating Pleading for her child To come away

The ravens’ assemblage Eyes bright and mystery deep

Unperturbed by anguish Fluffing iridescent midnight feathers Against the murderous cold

The forever hungry host Presses in Speaking harsh hard beaked Threats

The defeated ewe Abandons

Her lamb

A feast for Jostling jovial birds Scattering gore In the snow With bacchanalian Abandon At the end of Winter.

Thick-billed ravens (Corvus crassirostris) have no right to look as much like dinosaurs as they do

Here are some interesting facts about the raven:

• They are one of the most intelligent birds on the planet - they can solve tasks, play tricks on other animals and can count

• Ravens can imitate human speech just like parrots

• They can reach 2 feet in size from head to tail - bigger than some cats

• Ravens do things just for fun, such as sliding down snowy hills, swooping when flying, and they even build their own toys out of sticks and rocks

• People who have owned ravens have said they are cat-like in nature and can be very cuddly and affectionate, but can throw a strop when they don't get their way

• Science has found that ravens can communicate by "gesturing", and point their beak in certain directions to tell other ravens where to go

• When they reach adolescence, ravens leave their parents to find other teenage ravens and join "teenage gangs"

• Ravens are monogamous and mate for life

• Although they have been seen for centuries to represent death and sadness, ravens are compassionate, loving animals and will console their raven friends if they have been injured

All in all, ravens are amazing and beautiful animals!
