Smok Wawelski (The Wawel Dragon) by Bolesław Chromy, 1969:

propaganda: This is a famous and beloved statue outside of Wawel Castle (pronounced Vavel) in Kraków. The story of Smok Wawelski goes that he'd been eating all the animals (and people?) in Kraków so the king ordered his sons to kill him, but obviously the dragon is very dangerous. The princes tricked him by filling animals with tar and leaving them out. He ate them and when he tried to breathe fire, his insides burned up. There is a second version that says a cobbler tricked him into eating a tar-filled sheep and the tar made him so thirsty he drank the Wisła (the Vistula, the river that runs through Kraków) until he burst.

Fun fact, those are not extra arms but rather extra heads. Also, you can text the dragon to ask him to breathe fire, and then he does. He gets thousands of texts a day.

about the artist: When I was a kid, I was sure this statue was the actual Smok Wawelski that had somehow carbonized over a thousand years, but alas no, a guy made it in 1969 out of bronze. Bronisław Chromy was an artist, a professor, and Dragon Mother. He passed away in 2017.

Pomnik Syreny (Monument of the Warsaw Mermaid) by Ludwika Nitschowa, 1939:

propaganda: The Warsaw Mermaid is the symbol of Warsaw, and her image is all over the city in various forms. She's a warrior and is depicted with a sword and shield. She lives in the Wisła River (the Vistula), which runs thru Warsaw. There are different variants of her legend, but they all have something to do with her involvement in the foundation of Warsaw and her eternal role in protecting the city.

There are several statues of Syrenka around Warsaw, but the one I picked was created by Ludwika Nitschowa in 1936. It is made of gunmetal, and it stands on the bank of the Wisła. The model for this statue was a Polish poetess named Krystyna Krahelska. Krahelska joined the Home Army during WWII and participated in the Warsaw Uprising. She was shot and killed while rescuing a wounded colleague. I think it's really special the way the myth of Syrenka played out like this -- she really did protect the city, like in the legend. Incidentally, this statue was one of the few pieces of art in Warsaw not destroyed by the war.

tldr: badass warrior mermaid, made by a badass woman, modeled on a badass woman. women!

about the artist: Ludwika Nitschowa is the creator several famous statues in Poland, including of Maria Skłodowska-Curie, Copernicus, and several of Fryderyk Chopin.

Welcome Summer! " I see...only muscle...before me."

I hope this picture brings you a cozy seaside vacation vibe! For me, one of the happiest moment in my daily life is seeing others smiling because of my artworks.

But currently I feel extremely sad because I meet a serious problem in my life :( My 10-year-old cat Kiwi is diagnosed with SCC in his mouth…it's a type of cancer that is quite dangerous.

The fact is heavy to me :( I don't want to lose my sweet little family member who wakes me up every morning and falls asleep with me together every night, but the medical fee is a big number, and as a freelance illustrator who just starts the business, my income is unstable, after I pay the rent I have almost nothing.

Please, I'll be very thankful if anyone or some of you can give me a hand ! The way is simple, if you like my artworks and you want to have a customized one or some, please please please commission me. You can check my illustration page https://www.instagram.com/nmerulaart/ and commission page https://ko-fi.com/nmerulaart/commissions

Also, I draw some very cute digital stickers and emotes set in my Redbubble shop including my cat Kiwi, and characters from WOW( Wrathion and Anduin up to now, I'll keep updating so please follow my shop if you like them! )

I actually struggled a lot when I'm writing these text…because it's my personal issue and I'm not sure if it's suitable to post them here. So, thanks for your patience! And I hope all of you and your pet friends ( if you have) live a healthy life!

loving the fact that luffy actually knows how to say trafalgar law's real name he just won't say it bc he came up with a cuter nickname that has layers to it (トラ男 - translated as a tiger and it fits law's esthetic as a snow leopard) 🐆

I brought my cat to visit different vet oncologists throughout June. Finally, I finished this work before the end of Pride Month! I drew Chromie holding my kitty because I wish she could take my cat back to last year when the poor little baby was still healthy.😭

*In 48 hours, 1 reblog = 1 Wrathion Whelp, I’ll draw a big picture for those chubby whelplings!!! Trust me I’m not crazy. *

Thank you all for reposting my previous post and supporting me by making commissions! I have prepared a gift for everyone who loves my art: Happy Pride Skeletal Warriors! (Inspired by Lurid, a minion of Thassarian). You can download them for free on my Ko-fi page and use them as emojis or icons!

I also added some emojis of the Slime Cat from Shadowland, but I turned them into RAINBOW! I hope my cat won't become a Slime Cat too soon… If you are interested in these emojis or just want to help my kitty, please check out my Ko-fi shop and get your favorite Slime Cat!

And my commissions are always open. If you want an icon, an emoji, or something unique for your guild, please don't hesitate to contact me through my Ko-fi page or DM me on Tumblr!

Love is the same, just like our bones. I wish every human, furry friends, skeletons can enjoy this summer. ; -D

I find WoW's treatment of trans characters infinitely hilarious. We have:

a dragon that blizzard accidentally gave a masculine (by dragon standards) deadname and a decade later went "you know what? fuck it, she's trans"

Some Guy who barely did anything in the story, then became God

a dragon whose transition we got to watch in real time, who got told "now pick a human form" and went "you can PICK THAT? :0 Okay I'm a he now" and all the other dragons went "godspeed king"
