NIEDŹWIEDŹ ✷ THE BEAR ✷ (Ursus arctos) ✷ "Jak mawiano niedźwiedzie mają duszę, a duch drapieżnika mści się na swoim zabójcy, np. prowadzi go na bezdroża lub w przepaście." "Niedźwiedź był również zwierzęciem demonicznym, symbolem płodności, urodzaju, sił wegetacyjnych, a z racji swojego trybu życia (sen zimowy) - odwiecznego zmagania się zimy-śmierci z życiodajną wiosną." ✷ "As they say, bears have souls, and their spirit takes a revenge on it's killer, for example, leading it astray or into the precipice." "The bear was also a demonic animal, a symbol of fertility, harvest, vegetative forces, and due to its lifestyle (hibernation) - the eternal struggle of winter-death with life-giving spring." - From "Góralskie czary. Leksykon Magii Podtatrza i Beskidów Zachodnich" by Katarzyna Ceklarz i Urszula Janicka-Krzywda. published by Tatrzański Park Narodowy -

Redraw of an old idea I had, the gaang if they were Bulgarian/South Slavic.

Aang is inspired by shepherd's clothing mostly as well as some North- and Central- West Bulgarian clothing. Same for Sokka, but mostly CW (from the Shop region). Katara is a mix of Rhodope mountain and again CW styles. The butterflies are just so they don't stare in empty space lol

Jesień - tańcuj

youtube

Autumn - dance!

[lyrics, my translation]

Come out, bridesmaid, come out, it's time for the wedding

There will be violins, drums and bass playing for us

And who won't eat and who won't drink

Shall be given two sticks*, shall be doused with slop.

*A quote from old Polish drinking song dating back to XVIIIth century with lyrics from XIXth century, here it jokingly implies that whoever refuses to drink to the health of the newlyweds will be beaten.

[chorus]

The wedding news is flying out into the world

Dance and go wild like the untamed autumn wind

To love, drink once, drink twice, the best of love

Drink to love, brother, to love, bottoms up.

Hey, dance with us here, till the floor becomes splinters,

Hey, dance with us up here, feet up,

Chase after me and I will give you honey, sweet

Grab my hips and kiss me without second thought*. (x2)

*Original lyrics „całuj mnie jak z nut” are a play on the Polish expression „kłamać jak z nut” meaning to lie brazenly and without hesitation (lie through your teeth).

When the day burns out and fades into darkness,

When the dark night comes, guests, guests come home,

Play, play, musicians, give us a strong rhythm

Put your legs to this dance, dance untill the dawn.

Don't cry, mother, don't cry, I’ll be alright

You were like a guardian angel to me, but now I have him

Cups to cups, heels to the floor,

The whole room is pounding, a choir, leg to leg.

Everyone beats the same rhythm, don't stand here, move,

The legs are tearing, another sip and a whirlwind of lonely souls,

Dance, let the world spin, forget the bad,

Let us rejoice now, Lord, thank you for this day.

[chorus]

The wedding news is flying out into the world

Dance and go wild like the untamed autumn wind

To love, drink once, drink twice, the best of love

Drink to love, brother, to love, bottoms up.

Hey, dance with us here, till the floor becomes splinters,

Hey, dance with us up here, feet up

Chase after me and I will give you honey, sweet

Grab my hips and kiss me without second thought. (x2)

Here today to show off this project i have been collaborating with! This videogame is my best friend's school project for "Basic of Computer Game Developing "

I have offered her a small assistance by drawing the sprites for the characters. This is still just a school project but one day could become an actual project for an indie game!

The story follows Oka, a middle aged village woman that after the disappearance of her son, she ventures into the forest convinced that he has been kidnapped by the creatures inhabiting it. But not all is as it seems....

Here is the trailer
