fuck it. plaguesona
#i thought of this a couple weeks ago on the bus a couple seats away from someone loudly coughing into the open air#i think something snapped and i decided to make a fuckin. medieval ass plague sona. horseman of pestilence fursona#this is also why i was asking abt animals with medical symbolism.. originally i wanted a two headed snake like the staff of caduceus#but it turns out thats actually hermes symbol. the real symbol for medicine is the rod of asclepius which looks pretty similar#the difference is that theres only one snake and its twined around a stick. ironically mercy from overwatch's weapons are named after#the caduceus despite the misconception LMAOOO#snakes were the most consistent medicine related animal i could find even across multiple cultures so it couldve really worked#if i could actually draw scalies.. one of my earliest sketches had a cobra with a syringe at the end of its tail like a rattlesnake#and it had markings similar to the syringe tube but i didnt have much else going on so i scrapped it#i was also recommended animals with less obvious ties to medicine like jellyfish and horseshoe crabs and learned something new ^_^#im not confident i could pull off a non-mammal furry but they were really good ideas i might put into smth else.. i also thought of#axolotls bc of their regenerative thing and growing back limbs but i think that would suit smth like a surgeon or amputation...#possums and bats were also an option bc theyre actually really resistant to most diseases like rabies but i feel like ppl wouldnt know that#if they saw it so it looks a little ironic at a glance. rabbits rats and mice were my second option bc of animal testing and lab rats#less obvious reference but the moon rabbit in chinese mythology is loosely connected to medicine bc it makes the elixir of life#otherwise lab mice in a pharmacy / modern medicine setting seemed fitting and jerboa tails remind me of cotton buds#and. ironically. jerboas are more closely related to elephants than rats and mice. can you believe it#my art#myart#my oc#sona#plaguesona#cottonbud#fur#furry art#character design#ref sheet#oc ref sheet

So cruel and uncool how medic doesn't have a melee weapon, which is just a bigger version of a knee reflex hammer
#It'd be funny methinks#Or just a meat tenderising hammer#Me when i fucking TENDERISE YOU#Thinking abt it medic has very little unique melee weapons that arent just saws#And ig we have the necrosmasher but it's not based on a reflex hammer i dont think#Also would be really heckin nifty if we got something like the freedom staff based on the rod of asclepius or caduceus#Technically asclepius is the only real medical rod but shhhhh#Caduceus looks cooler#Tf2#Team fortress 2#Team fortress#Valve#Medic#Tf2 medic

Caduceus and Asclepius: A Tale of two Rods
"The Caduceus is the Staff of Hermes, the messenger god [2], and has been mistaken for the Rod of Asclepius, a symbol of medicine for over a hundred years. Hermes was a patron of negotiation, trade, and commerce [3]; his trusty staff, the Caduceus, came to be a symbol for the god himself and is seen printed on Roman coins.
The Rod of Asclepius belongs to the Greek god of healing and medicine, Asclepius [3]. For over one hundred years the Caduceus has been wrongly used as a medical symbol due to its visual similarities with the Rod of Asclepius.
The Caduceus was first documented being incorrectly used as a medical symbol in the 1850s when it was applied to US Army hospital stewards [4]. A survey in 1992 found 76% of US hospitals were likely to misuse the Caduceus, while Shetty et al. found that only 6% of doctors were aware that the Rod of Asclepius was the true symbol of healing [5]."
Plato, Republic 599c (trans. Shorey) (Greek philosopher C4th B.C.) : "To have restored to health as Asklepios (Asclepius) did, or what disciples of the medical art he left after him as Asklepios did his descendants." source
Me: Modern medicine adopting the symbol for Commerce and Trade instead of the symbol for Health and Healing - oh, the irony!
