Well, I think this was timed rather well to Curry's recent promotion, because I've finished my half of the art trade! They said they liked spooky stuff, so I based it off of one of their gothics:


"karri was talking about their cat again. they drew a picture of it. it was just a skeleton. you’re just a skeleton. you two can relate rather well."

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Were you expecting that?

Yep. I am. I was raised mostly Native American so I grew up with all the legends and stories. It's one of the things I'm very proud of.

I'm just happy I know the difference... granted I've become something of a nightmare fuelstation attendant on one of the other forums I frequent, since I keep all kinds of screencaps regarding skinwalkers, wendigos and other weird things that go bump in the woods.. that and we had a lot of odd stuff that happened this summer on the forest I worke for. Unfortunately on that forum the distinction between skinwalker and wendigo has been blurred and skinwalker is used as a catchall for everything that does weird stuff in the woods.


You might be able to help on this one, defense from the supernatural, there's some stories that indicate something called "white ash" can defend or kill supernatural beings but it's been debated on a few forums and probably will be debated till someone blows up the sun whether it actually is indicating ash from a campfire, the tree white ash, or ash from a ritual fire... any thoughts or is that all a load of crock?



Anyway the halloween themed drawing I'm working on is not working out the way I want it.....I'm half tempted to skip to christmas since I have a decent idea for that one.

Aaaaa thank you all! I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do this, so I'm glad people like it! And before I forget, I'd like to acknowledge and thank RealRedCloudYT for telling me how they did the glitchy creepy Reynir gifs a while ago! Thank you!

This is the highest of Curry-based honors. I may die happy now :P What do you mean skeleton-mummies are already dead?

To conclude: NOPE.

I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't going for this kind of reaction. ;D Fortunately for all of you, this is the extent of my evilness.
:usa: Yes.
:spain: Out of practice.
:finland: Failed to learn.
:vaticancity: Probably remember five words.

Yeah, I know a bit. When I started thinking about what would cause my Sona to become a Wendigo I kinda freaked myself out. It was freaky to think in the mind of someone becoming one. I kinda noped but decided to write about it anyway.

White ash. Hmm. . . Personally I would think the wood of a white ash tree would be what it's referring to.

See that's some of the logic behind it, but that species of ash tree isn't endemic to where stories indicate wendigos tended to roam, which is what inevitably leads to the debate over what is meant, then again because it isn't from those areas it also leads the question of "maybe because it's sorta exotic it might hold power over something"

Well if they hurt Wendigos then I don't think they'd roam near them. At least that's how I'd think of it. If something hurts/bothers me I'd not go near it.

Welcome back sister to the land of the (curently) unliving, where Halloween has everyone feeling not quite themselves lately. Get in on this action before it's too late!

Welcome baack, we've missed you (I am positive I'm speaking for more than myself, here)!

Ana, that was a wonderful and inventively scary Halloween Karri, really nice! And the cat, so well done ;D
Dancingranger, I like the thing you did! (Needs to look up what a Wendigo is, and a skinwalker, because both concepts are new to me. Skinwalker sounds like someone borrowing someone elses skin, but we'll see what google tells me!)
Solokov, aww, sorry to hear the Halloween design isn't working out for you. But I'm looking forward to the christmas version! (If you want me to try to make up a Halloween version of Strelok, just PM me with any ideas you have. Like Gwenno, I am happy to play around with other ssssonas!)
Curry, both HalloweenAnas are great! (And I'm glad you liked the colored WitchCurry, I am tempted to see if I can colour in any more of those designs)

Hmm, that's actually never come up during the discussions...interesting idea.

I'll think on it, but I'll give a couple more shots at the october design.
