'The Battle With The Welwa in the Copper Wood', a 1901 illustration by Henry Justice Ford. For one of Andrew Lang's 'Fairy Books', it shows the knight Petru scrapping with a monster: half-stag, half-dragon. #folktale #folklore #legend #fairytale #dragon #monster #fantasyart

A tightly composed of a monstrous furry creature with cloven hooves, claws and antlers, looming over a sword-wielding medieval knight on horseback.

A quotation from P. G. Hamerton

If animals could speak as fabulists have feigned, the dog would be a blunt, blundering, outspoken, honest fellow, but the cat would have the rare talent of never saying a word too much.

Philip Gilbert Hamerton (1834-1894) British artist, art critic and author.
Chapters on Animals: Dogs, Cats, and Horses, ch. 4 “Cats” (1877)

I have finished The Last Unicorn. It’s a delightful fairy tale, the movie does an amazing excellent job of bringing it to the screen. Perfect little book, no notes.

What should I pull from my TBR next?

Finish off the last Brontë?

Check in with the Tanith first and last?

Read the history of Empire?

Learn the secrets behind the Malazan throne?

New entries to the snail and art parade! This time it's "The One Mundane Spot" (something I drew while pivoting my research from Chinese to old Norse religion) and the start of the gardening snail story "Knightly Pests". You can grab a printable jpg for as little as $1 and help me through my last term of storyboard and comic studies. (If you liked the last ones they're still in the shop.)

#SnailAndArtParade #crowdfund #Fairytale #snail #knight #ThrowbackThursday

A guide and a group of people in Viking Age Scandinavian clothes looking at a tiny spot fenced in by ropes.
Guide "Here it is! We don't pray or sacrifice at this place. Neither is it sacred to any god. This is the one mundane spot in the entire Uppland."
Group: "Ooooooooooooooh!"

Black and white drawing of a snail with a rake chasing a knight stealing its cabbages.

"What wilt thou have, Hans My Hedgehog?"

"Father,” [Hans] said, “bring me bagpipes, then go to the forge and get the rooster shod, and then I will ride away forever."

The father was delighted that he was going to be rid of him.

- Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, "Grimms' Fairy Tales"
🎨 Jim Henson

Hans My Hedgehog riding his giant rooster. A scene from Jim Henson's "The Storyteller."

Many myths have a hero gaining allies with weird powers. In the German fairy tale "Six Servants," the powers of the hero's servants are respectively super-hearing, extreme height, super-vision, a huge appetite, immunity to heat and cold, and a stretchable neck.

Alice in the Park – Alice Sings a Song

The path has widened. It's clearly some kind of field. Made of autumn grass. Which has already turned yellow. Or maybe just those dry, sturdy stems. There's nothing but grass all around. Yellow. Dark yellow. Lots of dry branches. Lots of dry grass. Everything is dark yellow.

In the Ice Cave

And this is my drawing based on Final Fantasy 4 (SNES). A magic spell, like a magic carpet, transports you to an ice cave. It's bright here. Because the ice glows and reflects a lot of light. It's magic ice. Absolutely. You land on your feet. And look around! Everything around is made of ice. A real ice cave!

Drawing of a tiny troll in a red dress walking through a wild landscape as she carries her stuff to her new home. Behind her her dog is happy stepping with a backpack of its own.

Black and white drawing of a snail holding a tape measure and keeping a forest of pin needles in their mouth. In front of them stands a snail sewing dummy with a ruffled shell cover.

@OMGSoundboard hi guys.
First of all thank you for your work.
I wonder if there's a way to stop a sound already started, and if there's a way to create new categories.
I'm trying to use the app to play the right sound at the right moment when I read fairy tales to my little son.
