crop and longer lore breakdown for those interested in Kauno💙

zoomed version of the image quoted. bottom half of the piece is out of scene, leaving diving terns and water out.

Now, bear in mind that I’m struggling to put into the words many of the concepts discussed here. So sorry in advance if some parts feel nonsensical...! And as a disclaimer: my knowledge is mainly acquired as an interest and hobby – it does not hold water as actual, completely accurate information of a historical period. It’s my interpretation, my fantasy of sorts.

First things first, song inspiration: Vilma Jää – Manalan mailla (if you know Finnish and like to read these, you might see the connection lol)

Kauno’s story in nutshell: Kauno is a nobleman knight, who suffered a mortal wound to his neck when he was pinned in combat and stabbed between his armour plates. By all logic he should’ve succumbed to such a wound, but he was rescued and nursed back to health. The nuns who took care of him did not have high hopes for the feverish nobleman to make it through, and yet eventually he woke up in perfect health and spirit. Kauno remembers little of the time from sickbed but has clear memory of vivid dreams of birds…

Visually Kauno’s pose is heavy nod towards Botticelli’s painting ‘Birth of Venus’. I’ve always associated this piece with rebirth and beauty, both which are at the heart of Kauno’s character. His name quite literally means ‘beauty’ and rest we’ll get to…!

So now, the most complex part is to acknowledge the co-existence of Christianity and folk religion in Finland during Middle ages. While it’s hard to point out how folk religion exactly died (I’m not read enough on the topic), there are still letters to be found from church officials pointing out that some of the folk religion or the traditions persisted even till late medieval period and to renaissance. This period of time where beliefs melded and changed is something I’m extremely interested to depict.

Now, religion facts: There are quite a few nods towards Christianity here, the number seven motif with the birds, rebirth etc. However, the story revolves even further to folk religion’s concept of lintukoto (birds’ home). It was believed to be a physical place just outside the edge of the world, where birds went during winter. Everything was small in lintukoto to accommodate birds and sometimes souls could wander there. Notable is that lintukoto is _not_ heaven/afterlife in folk religion, but rather it seems one might get lost there by accident?

Terns: I thought terns are great way of marrying both religious imageries together. They dive almost completely into the water and rise anew, signifying Kauno’s almost rebirth-like experience. There also rather many hymns describing angels and dead loved ones visiting earth as birds! And lastly, they are also bird that are more typically seen in southern Finland, as a reference towards lintukoto being to the south of the world’s edge.

Armour: Yep, that’s Kauno himself! Kauno is showing his neck, which has only the scar left from the combat, but he’s also gripping at the sinking armour at the same spot.

Fun fact: Kauno is literally shorter and slimmer ('smaller') than my other knights as a nod to lintukoto! So, is he an angel, rebirthed man, or just very lucky guy? Who can say for sure, but all these motifs are part of him.

Knight and a Second chance [ #oc | #art | #knight ]

digital painting of knight oc Kauno. He's standing naked knee deep in water and covering himself with his hand crossed over his chest. The hand played with some of his long locks and reveals a healed scar in his neck. At his feet sinking into the water is a late medieval armour, slumping over him with dead weight. Kauno has places his right hand to hold the armor at the same spot (neck) he has his scar. All around them are seven common terns flying and diving into the water, splashing the otherwise calm water.

Was gonna just eat two slices of plain bread with water for lunch, but I got a vision of Senshi looking genuinely sad I’d depriving myself of nutrients. So I made a sandwich instead with veggies in it.

We report: for a handful of seconds, taken by the sun, we feel weightless. It seems as though it is just us and the sun, and there is the burn and a pleasant warmth at once, a golden glow and the searing light too. The clouds continue to move on, and the sun disappears in them.

Digital painting of the sun glowing through some clouds, creating iridescence around it. The sky behind the clouds is a deep, dark blue.

two of my favorite manga panels of Hide, being the perpetually exhausted ray of sunshine that he is you kind of get a sense of his thick people pleasing aura through this signature expression of his too, I think. #1989nk #art #manga #queercomics #bl

a manga panel of Hideyuki, with a cheerful smile on his face, and clear dark circles around his eyes.

another manga panel of Hideyuki, with his usual adorable whiskered smile, his eyes are sweet and inviting.

Dreamt I was walking through a big open field, and I found a very terrifying lady. She was frozen in place, there was a really horrible electrical buzz coming from her. She wasn’t outwardly burnt but smoke was pouring off her. She had a smell of burnt rubber so bad I woke up sick.

Sleepless Knight (2024) [ #art | #oc ]

older digital painting of knight oc Wreg on balcony during summer night. He's shirtless and leaning onto the balcony railing, looking away from the viewer. There are two light pink flower petals left on the balcony railing, close to Wreg's hand - he has likely ripped them, or someone left in a hurry. Wreg also has a red sash tied to the right side of his belt.

I wish there was an anime con equivalent for music artists. music shops selling records and CDs at the Exhibitor hall. Artist Alley making photocards and charms and prints. New and up-and-coming singers/indie bands having scheduled performances throughout the weekend. I think I'd call it ApolloCon

A winter walk might there be some room for more tavstarion art, perchance #art | #ocart | #bg3

A digital illustration showing my bg3 oc Arno and Astarion walking down a street in winter. The background is simple, the buildings are pale blue silhouettes with bright yellow windows serving as contrast. The night behind them is a deep rich blue melting into gentle lilacs. The two characters walking close together stand out, painted with a varied and bright color palette the soft white reflected off the street and the sharp light from behind illuminates them.
