Bats comprise the second biggest mammal order (only behind rodents) with 1,240 recognized species. That’s 20% of all mammal species. They live on all continents except for Antarctica and fill a variety of ecological niches like fruit-eaters, fish-eaters, insect-eaters, pollinators and even vampires. For each lifestyle and diet they have a specialized face morphology, showing an incredible diversity of ears, noses and mouths.
Look at all these beautiful babies!!
Fjaðrhamr
In Norse Mythology (and indeed also modern folk belief), the way in which humanoids can posses wings, fly or literally transform to a bird is to undergo a feathered transformation known as Fjærham/Fjederham (in modern Scandinavian tongue) or Fjaðrhamr (in Old Norse).
Fjær/fjeder/fjaðr means “feather” and ham/hamr means the form or shape. So it literally translates as “feather-form”.
The most prominent examples of “feather-form” are Freya’s feather cloak, which is used by Loki in Þrymskviða, the Norns who are said to transform into swans to travel midgard and the hero, Germand Gladensvend, from the Danish folk ballad of the same name.Art: Sceith-A
Rough Draft of Beren & Lúthien
I have a lot of things I should be working on…and this wasn’t one of them😂
But something possessed me earlier today to develop a bust sketch from last year of Lúthien & Beren.
I’m actually a little torn on how I should finish this since this is originally suppose to be one of the couple’s earlier meetings.
I designed a summer dress for Lúthien back in 2016 that I’ve always wanted to portray her in that she’s wearing here, but partway through working on this I put a veil on and kind of like the idea of it being a wedding portrait.What do you guys think? I’m not sure which direction I’ll go but I’m excited✨

Built around five thousand years ago, this is still s structure of both beauty and ingenuity. I’ve visited so many times but on a wet Saturday afternoon in January, the site was very busy with visitors. Glad I paid it a visit again.

Greek Corinthian Gold Myrtle Wreath, 330-250 BC
In ancient Greece, wreaths made from plants like laurel, ivy, and myrtle
were awarded to athletes, soldiers, and royalty. Similar wreaths were
designed in gold and silver for the same purposes or for religious
functions. This example conveys the language of love.
A plant sacred to the goddess Aphrodite, myrtle was a symbol of love.
Greeks wore wreaths made of real myrtle leaves at weddings and banquets,
received them as athletic prizes and awards for military victories, and
wore them as crowns to show royal status.
By the Hellenistic period (300–30 BC), the wreaths were made of gold
foil; too fragile to be worn, they were created primarily to be buried
with the dead as symbols of life’s victories. The naturalistic myrtle
leaves and blossoms on this wreath were cut from thin sheets of gold,
exquisitely finished with stamped and incised details, and then wired
onto the stems. Most that survive today were found in graves.

Therefore I say that we will go on, and this doom I add: the deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda.

So Part 2 went crazy and turned into this. @grundyscribbling, when you asked me if I would draw Finarfin and Earwen, I don’t think you had this in mind!
Which means that I now need to draw Part 3…
Anyways, happy new year everyone!
