#our home and cherished land #pterosaurs #art #unreality cw? #I’m reminded of a drawing I came across in my blog archives recently #it was a raptor coloured like a Canada goose and holding a Canadian flag in its mouth
like this one dude just made a fake taxidermy and spread it around as a hoax for a good ass while and it lead to this really cool fantasy creature and i am genuinely dissapointed that it never gets used in anything
The lack of skvaders is particularly frustrating when you realize it forms the third point of a wonderful cryptid trifecta.
You got the jackalopes, which are rabbits with antlers.
And you got the wolpertingers, which are rabbits with antlers and wings.
And then… what? Do you escalate? That’s unbalanced, those two rabbit cryptids don’t have the same number of extra things, the wolpertinger is clearly the jackalope But More.
BUT with the skvader on the other side, balance is restored. Antler rabbit, winged rabbit, winged antler rabbit. It’s a classic Venn diagram of imaginary lapine beasts, and it’s only complete if you acknowledge the fucking skvader.
Very_Dumb.png. A flag made of a black field, with a blue diagonal bar, and a centered, transparent punch-out in the shape of a diamond. The dashboard probably makes it look white, but it’s transparent.
This is simultaneously the greatest and worst thing I’ve ever made in my life.
On the one had, it’s an abomination.
On the other hand, technically speaking, there is nothing about this that could not easily–trivially–be re-created in fabrics. As long as the transparent section is sufficiently simple, such that the hems could be adequately re-enforced, there’s no reason you couldn’t treat it like any other emblem.
Oh my god, I feel like I’ve ascended to some kind of higher plane of existence.
I mean, we put transparent windows in money, we know it can be done… Clear vinyl is absolutely a thing, and it’s relatively easy to source for most people…
Holy shit.
I’m losing my goddamn mind.
What the fuck?
?????
?????????
That said, I don’t trust the people who run around making palette flags to use this terrible, awesome power responsibly. I can already see the semi-transparent gradients from here, and it’s horrifying.
