Many thanks to @jenny76 for running my doodle of the cryptid knight through a Glowforge Plus laser cutter and engraver at the library. This was on basic settings at 3.5″ square draft board. I really love how it turned out! The result is far nicer than I could have hoped, and I am looking forward to seeing how it does on a larger piece as the top of a box.
From Savage Sword of Conan Vol. 1 #42, June 1979, the “Kulamtu trees.” At some point, the Amazons of Gamburu planted Kulamtu trees in the center of their town square (or perhaps built the city around them?). Worshipping the Kulamtu like deities, the Amazons would perform ritual sacrifices by feeding living people to the plants. The plants became known as “the Devil-Trees of Gamburu.”
Painted pig update- black on left side, with LISA in gold and red, French flag on right side, with a loaf and text “OUI OUI BAGUETTE ” in black and gold. Front jas a green smile and eyes, rear has a green W over perineum
Super-smoothed and line-thickened version of a cryptid knightālooking for something to burn into the lid of a wooden box or 3D print after converting it into a vector graphic.
I tried doing it in multiple colors, but I think it looks nicer in just black and white.
My loot from drop 101 of #onelldesign came in, lovely #glyoscompatible goodies. So happy to see the return of the gorilla and fish faces, and the addition of a horse looking one might make a future build of Beta Ray Bill a possibility. Good to get those feathered wings as a part, too. I can see a lot of uses.
Pics – gorilla angel mech, just a cute little robot built from leftover parts, a creepy spider crayboth, fish face and a centaur-bot, glow pheyden and a very cthulhu-ish critter with a clear orange crayboth, and the whole gang plus some pieces/parts.
What will my spouse, my in-laws, and I get up to today? Whatever eldritch shenanigans that may transpire, I hope that we get to see some fireflies along the way.
Day 20,207 Today’s doodle inspired by photo #2 – A 300-pound rock from ancient Greece with the inscription, “Bophades could lift this over his head.” I rather liked the idea of a giant stone with a thumbprint carved into it, with maybe a few runes around the outer edge.
Resting up and enjoying the day off after Max and the family hung some of our art from the old house in the new house. The red room, living room, dining room, and bathrooms look even more like home now.
Watching Paddington with the in-laws and @maximillian_deersteak , going to grill some veggie dogs later, and then maybe watch paddington 2?
Fed the first panel into a program to describe it in text, then fed that description into 3 different self-policing (only donated images) version of huggingface, which gave some of the following translations. Pretty interesting results. Note the name archie on the first produced image, even thought she looks nothing like an archie comic, and the androgynous 3rd and 4th images, but they include the blue hat.
