Valravn having a sneaky chat

Jb 11/18/17 mythical beasts day 6 Valravn(e) Wiki:

According to Danish folklore recorded in the late 1800s, when a king or chieftain was killed in battle and not found and buried, ravens came and ate him. The ravens became valravne. The valravne that ate the king’s heart gained human knowledge and could perform great malicious acts, could lead people astray, had superhuman powers, and were “terrible animals”.

In another account, a valravn is described as a peaceless soul in search of redemption that flies by night (but never day) and can only free itself from its animal countenance by consuming the blood of a child.

Illuminated Letter I made for my grapic design calss.

my valravn oc!!

Val: Val/Valerie, Boy/male, he/they, 21, Puerto Rican. His 1st language is English, 2nd language is Spanish, and he is learning Russian. He is “friends” with Orion. He is “unemployed” in the traditional sense but owns a small business and is considering working at cedar point. He also lives in Ohio. He moved to mainland USA when he was 8. He isn’t a bug or machine but a irl human, and so is orion!

Also this is his old design, so his newer designs are different because I changed them!

Two pages I made for the Russian project “Mythbook III”, the final art-book in the series. Autor’s interpretation of the Scandinavian mythology. So many thanks to my friend Kahito for the help with the main illustration.

This a little story about pilots Harmund Becker (Archibald’s old squad-mate), Archibald Verneski and Artificial Intelligence “VALRAVN” (He belongs to Harmund). “VALRAVN” lost his mind and created his new body out of pieces of scrap-metal and human bodies. After this he wanted to change his pilots and to give them “a new live”, but these acts just killed them. P.S. It’s just a dark-AU, not a real part of my “Russian Roulette” story. All characters are alive.

the nachtkrapp, or “night raven,” is a German/Austrian legend about a huge and eyeless bird that would steal children away in the night. its wings were full of holes that could cause the watcher to become diseased if they looked into them.

night ravens are rare to begin with, and even in the massive bastion that is Monster City there are few to be found–and those that are there tend to hide from their dark reputation, calling themselves spirit ravens, or Gaelic courtiers to fey.

You will also see that as much as the darkness has you trapped within it’s veil, it too is trapped within yours.
