#Drewly: An ancient stone hammer

 An ancient stone hammer

Mignolaverse Mjollnir: Thor’s hammer was discovered by archaeologists at a dig site in Sweden. No member of the dig team could lift the hammer, so they called in the aid of the B.P.R.D.

Drewly is all about posting art that you have already made. Post as often or as little as you’d like. It is a “challenge” to let you celebrate what you have already done. If you post for Drewly don’t forget the tag #Drewly.

See you tomorrow for a normally scheduled post of items from Wind Waker, which is also a Drewly post.

If you appreciate my effort, consider a donation at my ko-fi. 

Be excellent to everyone.

I'm not an artist: The first five items from the Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages that are artifacts of a secret human history.

The first five items from the Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages that are artifacts of a secret human history.

Wooden Sword: This is the sword Link begins his adventure with in Oracle of Ages. It is given to him by Impa while she is being possessed by Veran while she is trying to get close enough to Nayru to possess her. 

Modern understandings of the evolution of humanity have entirely missed the greatest civilization humanity has ever established. In the time before what is known as the Stone Age, humans living in the most northern extremes established an advanced civilization using secrets stolen from a murdered celestial. With the forbidden secrets, the Hyperboreans could forge blades that would never dull or rust.

Five items from Ocarina of Time a diabolical teen cult leader would own.

Goron Mask: Once Link has completed selling the Happy Mask Seller’s masks, he is able to borrow masks that change how people react when approached. The Goron Mask convinces some that Link looks just like a Goron and has others editorialize on Gorons.

The Hierophant was not always the leader of a diabolical cult dedicated to breaking the seventy-seven seals and releasing the nine hundred and sixty-three forsaken legions to ravage the world before the coming of the infernal powers. They had once been a regular teen they enjoyed hanging out with friends, daydreaming about their crush, and collecting odd items from online auctions. No one could have known that having the highest bid on an odd bust carved from red ivory would set events in motion that would see them at the head of a black mass chanting the true name of the shepherd of the apocalypse.

Keaton Mask: This mask depicts a popular character from children's stories. The Keaton is a fox character visually reminiscent of Pikachu. The mask has no major mechanical effect, but wearing this mask earns warm welcomes from kids and nostalgic reactions from adults.

A story tells of a time when the Sun Goddess was forced into the form a white wolf. The wolf’s glittering fur was easy to spot, so prey could easily elude the hunting wolf. In desperation, the proud Goddess humbled herself to a passing firefly, promising to do good works in exchange for the firefly’s help. This mask is often worn in honor of those that overcome their pride to accomplish their goals.

I'm not an artist: Powerful forces and an irredeemable object

Five items from A Link to the Past.

Magic Hammer: The last hammer I drew was for blacksmithing. This hammer is a wooden mallet suitable for wood working or head bonking. I know that a knot in the center of a mallet head would probably lead to a broken mallet, but I love the way knots look. 

This could be the mallet used by the hermit monk who built the Temple of the Five Bells. The monk, with their trusted donkey, hiked into the trackless peaks of the Mountains of Heavenly Silence with a vision of founding an isolated temple. The monk and donkey were not seen for nearly a decade. The next time the monk was seen, they were erecting a sign post that directed travelers to the new temple. It is said, that when the first traveling monks arrived at the Temple of the Five Bells, the hermit carpenter welcomed them and then sat down with an elderly donkey and the pair died at the same moment, having seen their life’s' work completed. 

The heartwood of an ancient tree is a powerful material component. That is especially true when the tree is a treant elder that has been bonded with the hamadryad matron of the western wilderness millennia. During a brief moment of privacy, the elder treant pulled this mallet from their own heart and gave it to a group of outsiders while saying, "Swing this at the right moment so that the forests will be there for our children's children." This act of creation claimed the elder's life. The first forest spirits to discover the outsiders with the elder's lifeless body assumed the outsiders slew the treant. In their grief they were unwilling to hear the outsiders’ story. The outsiders managed to escape with the mallet and are now hunted by avenging forest spirits and colonial agents eager to see the untamed forest fall to axe and saw.
