This was a perfect joke, why is no one laughing. Perhaps you should all go see Pagliacci, for laughter is the best medicine.

Two cd albums that are laid atop of a keyboard instrument. One is called Noss Prelude and the other is The First Mage.

They like the musk. They rub stoats in their armpits as a show of dominance.

I don't have a ton to do at my new job just yet while I'm still learning, so today I spent most of my shift reading Wolf of Withervale from @joabaldwin.com. I can't remember the last time I read over 100 pages of a book in a single day. I'm hooked, and I've barely just begun!

Highly recommend πŸ‘πŸ‘

That's so awesome to hear! I'm happy when it clicks for people in that manner. There's so much more you'll get to soon <3 <3

Fine, it's very clear you all like the D. Badger it is (even though a few read that as a marten, but it serves its purpose). I'll do some tweaks and make a perfect vector version to match all the other clades. Thank you all for your notes!

Noss Saga readers :D ... But really, not taxonomists or biologists or whoever. It should be easy to be interpreted by any person who doesn't hate mammals as "oh, I know this animal!" (even if they don't know it's name) but not as "I see a fox!"

And yes, I tried like 20 iterations of mask shapes and some look cool, but they do NOT work with the full set of icons, it stands out horribly and I decided not to do it.

Set of 6 silhouetted icons of stylized musteloid heads in the style of the wolf logo from the Noss Saga.

Which one reads better to you?
I'm designing icons for the Noss Saga clades, and I need one for the musteloids (which includes skunks, red pandas, raccoons, coatis, weasels, otters, badgers, wolverines).
RULE: no negative shapes inside the silhouette (no raccoon mask/eyes/stripes).

Sterjall sitting on a bristlecone pine branch against a backdrop of hazy mountains. His amber eyes look to the left, while his body faces right. His dark fur contrasts against the haze, his tail wraps subtly around a branch. He is holding Leif, his obsidian-bladed dagger, with the point down. He’s wearing a blue tunic, a braided leather belt, leather pants, and a copper bracelet. The bristlecone pine has nearly no leaves, but still manages to look lively.

Aww, that's so awesome. I still love the golden frame version, but for some reason the high contrast and detail on it messes up the compression for posting it online. Always looks terrible on websites, but super nice with no compression or in print.
