Of The Hyena: A Medieval Bestiary Redraw!
Added 2024-01-21 21:10:46 +0000 UTCA fun lil project I've been working on, that I'm happy to finish in spite of all the power outages this week!! >:3
Medieval manuscripts are one of my favorite things ever, and I've been wanting to redraw parts from this bestiary since forever ago. Our idea of the natural world is always changing and it's both incredibly interesting and supremely silly to look back at our past understanding. So if you'd like to me do more passages, lemme know!
If you'd like the read the original bestiary for yourself, which you should, it's all online and the illustrations rule! You can view it here: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/bestiary/ms24/f1r

2024-01-21 22:35:00 +0000 UTCSo beautiful. I’ve done a program for kids kinda touching on the progress of science/natural history, where I showed them medieval drawings of different animals and asked them to guess what the heck they’re looking at. Thank you for giving me similar joy hahaha

2024-01-21 21:22:56 +0000 UTCHonestly if I saw a striped hyena out of context I’d absolutely assume it was a deranged cryptid with magic powers, those guys are BANANAS
