I hope we get more dragons in botw2

#botw 2 fanart #tears of the kingdom #my art #botw link #(even if he's small hes in there)#The design is based off of the Zonai dragons!#But instead of going with the sort of Mesoamerican feathered serpent theme (that many theorize the Zonai sculptures are based off of)#I leaned far more into the appearance of the elemental dragons in botw's Hyrule.#this took about 10 years off my lifespan #kazehita #kazedoodl

Hero With a Thousand Faces

Hey y’all! Remember that post with the Tyannosaurus and its Pop Culture legacy? And how I did it with two more prehistoric creatures (and Sid)? Welp... here’s the latest version, and by far, the biggest of ‘em all.

The motif here is actually simple, from the drawings of a Paleolithic couple (the man’s a Neanderthal, and the lady’s a regular ol’ Homo Sapiens), they, without realizing it, inspired literal thousands upon thousands of years of storytelling, and of the many, MANY concepts of the “hero” figure throughout all of human history.

Guess which ones are which!

Previously:

Triceratops

Pteranodon

Tyrannosaurus

Sid and the Giant Sloths

Behold My Beauty and Weep

This 36″ x 36″ quilt was made for the 2024 Brooklyn Quilters Guild fence show, which is entitled THE STORIES WE TELL: Folktales, Fantasy & Folly. I knew I wanted to do something similar to my O, Beware… quilt with some kind of creature staring out through scales or feathers, etc. While looking for images of feathered dragons, I became intrigued with illustrations of Quetzalcoatl from Mesoamerican…
