More old photos?

Found some more old photos to share!



Probably my favorite of the lot. Peggy, she had a stumpy lower leg cause we found her caught in a possum trap (we had one killing chickens) and we pulled her out and cut off her foot and some of her lower leg cause it was beyond saving. While taking care of her during her healing she grew use to me cause I fed her every day and once she got back walking and hobbling around she would follow me and spend time with me if I sat down. Sadly we lost her in the middle of a night to something and we don't know what it was. Even though she was a wild turkey who decided it was better to just chill around the house instead of going back in the woods I did like her company. She didn't have a temper, didn't make any noise at all, and was a really beautiful bird. Strange enough she was very clean. I don't know much on turkeys but she was rarely dirt or had bugs in her feathers.


We used to raise chickens and once in a while some took a liking to me more then my mom or step dad. This was one who would always get up on a old cloths line pole we had just sticking out of the edge of the backyard. It was kinda pretty how he'd strut about trying to show he was tough stuff on it. Often times though the bigger chickens would jump up and push him down so he was never king of the hill for long.


More swamp photos!







Photo from a family friend's cabin. Used to like it there, it was on the water to where we could step on the porch and fish and the pier was connected to the porch with a nice boat ramp at the end. I really miss it.

Might upload more later on. At the moment that's all I've found

Mkhan the Djinn

Ani't uploaded in a while! I know I should! Next post I'm gonna post pictures from my recent vacation to Dallas. Anyway, enjoy a colored picture, a rarity among my pictures.



Mkhan (his name is half a Arabic word for necklace) a djinn/genie who is completely neutral but is still viewed as a bad spirit to most who encounter him based on his behavior, past deeds, and evil eye tattoo on his back. Chaotic, selfish, and a bit insane, he does not align with good or bad and only does what he wants for himself and sees taking sides to be pointless. As much of a free spirit as a magic slave can be, he often disorganized and completely unpredictable without someone telling him what to do (that is if he wants to do it) He is not without a moral code but can be swayed away from it by the right offers and interests.

He is considered one of the most powerful djinn to roam around the Arabic peninsula and has no problem showing it off. He has a large limit to his magic that hardly is ever used and can grant as many wishes as he wants and at times even deny a wish but he still follows rules and restrictions that are set on him. He sees himself as the adoptive father for a child named Jazilan while still being a child at heart himself.
He can't use his magic to effect love or emotions, leaving him rather lonely since he can't force himself on someone who has no desire for him or make them return his feelings. There are no accounts of anyone except a few children seeing his eyes though why he keeps them hidden behind his hair is unknown. He is also able to shed his skin like a lizard and walk around as a 'magically gifted' human for a day before growing his skin back or returning to the old skin.



I think the most fun I had with this was drawing on the clothing on his stomach. I like the evil eye in it for some reason
