The Urban Dragon

4 pictures of différents woodcarvings Top left : Woodcarved humanoid octopus wearing a robe, arms wide open, in front of a book standing on branches. On the book, a frog. On the right arm, a kinfisher, and on the top of the head of the octopus, a round duck. The base is burn, on that angle it is not really obvious but is water with a slight wave form arround the octopus. On the background, an old door with old white paint. Top right : Woodcarved creature (Siren Head) with very long skeletal arms and legs, also too many ribs. Its head is a pole with two speakers and wires. Those speakers have teeth. On the highest speaker, a nest with a pigeon. Siren Head is extending its left arm, point a finger forward. A pigeon sits on its index. Caption says "Based on Siren Head by Trevor Henderson" Bottom left : Woodcarved humanoid goose wearing plate armour. She's holding a shield and a flanged mace. On the handle of the mace, a red robin landed. The eyes of the goose are made of glass. The feet and the beak are painted in burnt yellow, as the breast of the red robin. The upper part of the robin is painted in brown/grey and its eyes and beak in black. Bottom right : Woodcarved humanoid crow wearing a hooded cloak, shoulder armor. It has its right hand on a sword. A squirrel is climbing its left arm. On the base, a cat is resting.

Hello, I'm a woodcarver, and this what I do ✌️

You can help me a lot by sharing my work, so people can buy or commission me sculptures.

Praying for octopus blessings on your life 🐙🙏

A black cat is sleeping on fluffy blankets

She's had a long day of napping and begging for chicken and snuggling her human and I'd just tuckered right out.

Left: Minimal line art drawing of a cat that is enclosed in a pink rectangle. Label: Kitten is completely full of crimes Right: the same cat art but twice the size. The same size rectangle covers only the bottom of the cat. Label: Adult cat contains the same amount of crimes but it does not dominate all of their behaviors

PANEL 1: The scene from The Empire Strikes Back where Luke gets his hand cut off - we see Luke clinging to the pole, hand cartoonishly cut off. Darth Vader stands next to him, pointing at him. DARTH VADER: Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your real father. LUKE: He told me enough. He told me you killed him! PANEL 2: DARTH VADER grips his hand dramatically. LUKE turns to think. DARTH VADER: No. I am your father. Sound effect: dun dun dunnnnnn! LUKE: Oh. I…knew that already. PANEL 3: DARTH stands, shocked. LUKE gets up, holding his arm without a hand. DARTH VADER: wh— WHAT?! HOW? LUKE: Another x-wing pilot told me. PANEL 4: A yellow background with bold red text reads: DON’T GET INVOLVED IN FAMILY SQUABBLES, PICKLES! PICKLES, a purple bird with large eyes, is dressed as an x-wing pilot (orange jumpsuit, tan vest, helmet), and cringes at the viewer. —— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

Side Quested Book1 in my hand. It's mostly a blue cover with Charlie on it.

A side view of the book. It has 304 pages, it's quite the chonky book!

A tiny crop of the "book exclusive" chapter! No spoilers revealed, tho.

Detail of the cover with some light reflecting on the gloss spit in the cover. It's all over Charlie!

Ok, everyone, this is the LAST WEEKEND you can preorder SideQuested Book1!

All preorders help us convince our Publisher that we should publish the WHOLE series, not just the two first books!

Plus, the book is BEAUTIFUL, has spot gloss, an exclusive chapter, and it's CHONKY!😱

Five cut-out-and-keep bookplates Each reads ‘ex-libris’ then has a space for the owners name. The design reflects the genre: Sci-fi: Nanotechnology tracks the book, monitors its condition and summons a retrieval drone if necessary. Horror: An ancient curse creates feelings of unease, rising to apalling, abject horror unless the book is returned. Romance : Acts as an invite to the county's grandest ball, but revoked if not returned in a polite and timely manner. Crime: Tailed by a dishevelled Gumshoe who Seems cynical, but loves books more than dames and bourbon. Fantasy: A fellowship of heroes lead the borrower on an epic quest to return the tome to its Rightful shelf.

Mission accomplished

Such a dumb and fun movie with one of the best kills in the franchise (liquid nitrogen)

Chillin' with Simba in the newly renovated Small Animal Kingdom! You can find him and Nala at the TLC Foundation Small Cat Hideaway, home to Zoo Boise’s sand cats.

This is the "Steel Crown". Worn by the kings of Romania, after they won their war of independence in 1878.

It was forged from a melted down Ottoman cannon, captured at the Battle of Plevna in 1877.

The most FAFO crown in European history.

I never watched it (I was 10) but that theme song stuck in my head for 46 years....

Luxury!

Doing 3d renders on a 386/33 with a math coprocessor and using pov ray. Waiting hours for the full size to render. Heck being so impressed with the paint program in the Icon in high school with the trackball. God I'm old. 😳😀😂

Ok, yeah, I do all my sculpts in it on my iPad but always watching for other tools 🙂. Having been in 3d modeling since the 90s it is insane what I can do on a tablet to me.

Epic. What software do you use for sculpting?

This is Westie. He met a boy at the park today bravely trying to get over his fear of dogs, and Westie was just the pup for the job. 14/10 for all (TT: rahlor)

Remember.
If you don't know which person in your friend group is possessed by an ancient and nameless cosmic horror brimming with unspeakable hungers and malice, it's probably you.

This is Lance. He may have overreacted a little bit to a leaf, but when you are two inches from the ground, anything could be a potential threat. 12/10 (TT: katiemhartline)

"Another One Bites the Dust" was used in a study to train medical professionals to provide the correct number of chest compressions per minute while performing CPR. The bassline has close to 110 beats per minute, and 100–120 chest compressions per minute are recommended by the British Heart Foundation, and endorsed by the Resuscitation Council (UK). A study evaluating CPR chest compression rates in veterinarians and registered veterinary nurses found that Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" helped improve the accuracy of compression rates. When used as an auditory aid, the song resulted in a significantly higher number of participants achieving the correct rate of 100–120 compressions per minute, outperforming other aids like the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive". However, the content of the lyrics was not considered "quite as appropriate".

I am only being mildly productive, but I also found a very funny fact to share with all of you
