The mythical fox // Dennis Lehtonen
In Finnish the word for northern lights is ”revontulet” and it directly translates to ”fox fires.” According to the old mythology when it runs along the tundra, the fox’s flaming tail sweeps snowflakes into the sky and the fur scratches the trees, setting the skies on fire. That is how the northern lights are created.

Working on Marina's family tree. ; ;
Top two are Julius and Frank Maarit. Julius is a fire fighter and a Shadow Lord werewolf who is just very protective of his daughters. He's... not the most pleasant guy to deal with for Marina. Frank on the other hand is a gentle and sweet man who runs a farm in upstate NY where his kids live with him. He is a Kinfolk and aware of everything of the supernatural. He fought in wars and is missing his left arm. Frank just learn recently about Marina being an abomination and has aided her by giving her a talisman to hide her aura and scent.
Bottom two are Marina's near and dear children when they were younger, Oliver and Saana. Oliver grew up to be a carpenter and went on to have his sons, Julius and Frank. He did see Marina very few times in his life time but understood why she had to be away from him. After all, him and Saana saw everything during Marina's embrace. He passed away at a ripe old age.
Saana went on to become a nurse during WW2 and mysteriously disappeared in California with no trace. Marina found out months after and travelled there to find out what became of her daughter with no luck. However in the recent... Marina seems to think not all is what it seems and that Saana could very much be alive somehow.
Marina's family is what keep her from going to full abomination mode of being the most dangerous being on the planet. </3

📸 by Hugo Korhonen: I always wanted to visit Kilpisjärvi and photograph the famous Saana (Sána) fell.
The fell is historically considered sacred to the Sami people.
I find the Sami culture super fascinating. And been obsessing over learning them a lot in the past year.
So having this shot of this fell, is special for me.

The rest of the Sarvipöllö-Hollolas (Minus Aimo)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finished up the rest of the Sarvipöllö-Hollolas (Minus uncle Aimo because I do not have his colors yet). More about them under the cut because I wrote a lot. Massive post. Images are described in alt text! As always, these folks are for the @halfstack-smp
In image order
Sampsa was born into the Waxcoat ships business but never enjoyed all the sights, sounds, and smells of the sea quite as much as their sister Tuulikki. They broke off from Waxcoat ships in their early 20s, traveling to the Luumuseo to take up their residence there, though never becoming the owner.
Sampsa's entire arm was blown off while he was firing a bow due to the family curse, causing more than one catastrophe that day. The arrow caught a rope connected to the main mast of one of the docked ships, setting the balance off just enough to cause all the sails to unfurl the wrong way into strong winds, immediately tipping the ship all the way over onto its side. Nobody died luckily.
Sampsa wasn't aware they were queer until one of his grandkids introduced the concept to him.
Sampsa currently works as an archival assistant at the family Luumuseo. Hannu makes sure to give them easy but interesting work and has made the space accessible to account for his missing arm. They have a prosthetic, it's just itchy and he doesn't need it constantly, so Sampsa will frequently go without it. He is married to Ilona.
Ilona was born to 'Tengu' parents with some questionable hybridization back in her lineage. She's married to Sampsa.
Ilona is an art historian and conservationist, spending a majority of her free time cleaning, repairing, and re-framing artworks sent to her for her conservation efforts. She's got an excellent eye for detail and can likely tell you who made what piece in what era no matter the piece she's shown. She's also excellent at spotting fakes or forgeries of original works, as well as legally reproduced copies. Ilona has amassed a small collection of artworks she's taken in for study and research purposes.
She dabbles in a little bit of painting herself and all of Sampsa's prosthetics have hand-painted details from her.
Severi is a fashion historian and regularly works with Ensi. to reproduce and preserve old fashions and sewing patterns found through the Family's archival efforts. Most gifts from either of them are immediately recognizable given that they're a handmade garment 90% of the time. Hannu's Shawl was a birthday gift from Ensi and Severi.
Severi does not have a personal clothing brand but does sell some of the things he sews or crochets on the side that she doesn't want to keep.
Severi's legs exploded slightly due to the family curse shortly after her 17th birthday. She uses a wheelchair to help him get around now. He let his kids decorate her wheelchair when they were all young and still lets them do so if they ever want to. She lives close to his great aunt Ensi and the two of them regularly swap patterns.
Saana is a talented linguist, specializing in the discovery of old languages, their reconstruction, as well as the creation of conlangs. Saana has created more than a few conlangs for her husband Janne's books and is always credited in the back.
Saana developed her passion for linguistics from a young age, spending most of her free time learning anything and everything she possibly could about all different languages from the resources her parents could provide. She's fluent in at least 5 languages and regularly makes up new conlangs for fun. Saana sometimes teaches linguistics courses at the same college Hannu graduated from. Janne was born to tengu parents in a spruce taiga home. He is married to Saana Sarvipöllö-Hollola. He writes fiction and fantasy books mostly aimed at child and young adult audiences, telling grand stories of worlds that do not exist like their own. He has a science fiction publication but that one was enough for him to decide that he never wanted to write sci-fi again.
Columba was born to Tengu parents in a birchwood forest home. He has no siblings and is married to Severi. He came out as trans at age 13, allowing that experience to be a part of their fashion concepts moving forward. He'd already begun taking sewing classes several years beforehand and started to make clothes that would both bring him some comfort and look spectacular.
Columba creates and sells 'designer' style clothes under the brand name Dove and Raven. Dresses, skirts, blouses, shirts, all made by hand and fit to each origin's particular requirements on sizing and shape. He occasionally gifts clothing to his family members but it's a bit difficult to get them all done in time so he mostly offers sewing classes.
Corvus is an avian origins weaponry expert and, as such, spends quite a bit of time around Inka. His kids love it there because Inka shows them cool sharp things they usually aren't allowed to touch. She spent quite a bit of time around her great aunt Inka as a child, leading to him developing a passion for avian origin specific weaponry. It keeps an unsafe amount of claw extending knives around the house but doesn't seem to see the issue with having them, much to the delight of her partner.
Emille assists her with with reproduction copies of old avian origins weaponry, some to send to the Luumuseo, some to keep at home, and some to bring to fairs for entertainment's sake. Aquila is an avian origins architecture expert, focusing on the preservation and restoration of Tengu and Sirin ruins. There's been some debate as to whether or not feathered draconis count as avian, but Aquila includes them in xir research anyways.
Aquila spent most of his time sketching as a kid, drawing building after building and floorplan after floorplan. Once he found the original building plans for the Sarvipöllö-Hollola Family Luumuseo, Xir love for architecture only grew. One of his notable contributions was the addition of disabled avian origin friendly architecture in both the Sarvipöllö-Hollola Family Luumuseo and The Downfeather, calling on older blueprints for similar structures that had fallen out of modern usage.
Emille reproduces both actually dangerous and child-safe versions of historically avian origin produced weaponry. The dangerous reproduction stay at home, go to Inka, or go to Hannu at the Luumuseo. The safer reproductions are sold at fairs for entertainment's sake for younger audiences and also occasionally given to Raine and Siv as both education and a way to entertain them.
Emille picked up their love of blacksmithing from the local Daystone population, being taught by a smith that they remember as having iron inlays and strong but gentle hands. As such, most of their crafts are intricately detailed and tend to resemble the works of a daystone rather than the works of a faun. Raine fancies themselves a writer and is working on their own vast, interconnected web of lore for their 37 magical wolf oc's. Ae has always been a particularly ferocious reader, regularly demolishing upwards of 40 books over the course of a few months or so. Currently ae's obsessed with aer uncle Janne's book series, A Dance of Stars and Storms. Siv is going about her life as any 10yo child does. She is ABSOLUTELY convinced that she's an aspect of Aelrys. She isn't, but she has horns and wings and so does Aelrys so she's 100% convinced she is.
If you've somehow read all the way down here, thanks! I'm going to go dunk my head in cold water to cool off my brain.

anyway i've had a little anxiety/insecurity moment the last week or so (after being the most confident i've literally ever been in my life, what is my brain doing) but today i was randomly talking with co-workers re: my career and. my story with this job, just to recap, is i worked here before in a slightly different role in the same team and then last autumn they called me like "hey wanna come back and get paid a lot and have more responsibility" and so today i joked about how i didn't want to know how many people they called before me. like i assumed i was Not the first choice, i just happened to be unemployed. and erika, bless her, went "no actually you were our first choice, i was the one who recommended you because i remembered you were reliable and a good writer" bless, what a confidence boost!!!

Haven't done so much for finished works but here is some doodles to share. A lot is of a "what if" Marina's coterie can save Saana, her daughter. Also gave me an excuse to draw her and Marina SO HAPPY to have one of her children in her life. ;u; I never really draw Marina smiling so doing that its like... yes this makes me happy.
Also one ugly Martti, guess that Black Spiral Dancer blood made him into a twisted abomination. One of my favorite comparisons since Marina's Crinos form is...nothing like his mutated appearance.
