Stealing from a few others, specifically Windfalcon:

Write an assumption you have about me in a comment below, and I'll tell you how accurate it is!

I'm more curious than anything else what people think about me (especially those who have never met me). Go ahead, go wild, even in-depth stuff like where I live or what my life is like. I'm really curious :D

I've had a Weasyl account for a while now, Weasyl was just never active enough for me to use it a lot. Guess suddenly people are headed there?

Honestly I pay ZERO attention to forums or other social media related to the art sites I'm on (DA, FA, etc.), so I had to look up why the heck all the journals were giving out Weasyl usernames. Glad a friend had links in their comments to explain what the heck was going on.

Anyhow, I've always had my Weasyl account posted, but here you go for easy clicking since so many folks are finally heading over there: https://www.weasyl.com/~sagekorppi

See you there!

I finally got to join Flight Rising!

Time to send out my Costa Rica donation request again. The trip is only 2 months away! I'm trying "Go Fund Me" in the hopes of generating more interest. Signal boosts are always appreciated!

Thanks :)

I'm not dead, I've just been suuuuper busy. Unfortunately since art rarely overlaps with my professional life, it takes the back seat to everything else I need to do.

Hope everyone is doing well and your holiday season was rad C:

If you could please spread the word, I would be very, very grateful!

Thank you!

Tumblr Edition

Thank you so much for everyone's feedback on the social media journal I posted a while back.

I agree with a lot of folks that too many places to follow an artist can be overwhelming, so here's where you can find me and what will be posted there:

DeviantArt - Art and the occasional journal.
FurAffinity - Exact same art as DA and same journals.
Nabyn - Same as the two above, though I often forget to update it as regularly as DA and FA.
Raven Droppings Tumblr - This is my art tumblr for works-in-progress and general musings about projects and art. This will rarely overlap with DA/FA (unless there is a journal/announcement I'm trying to give as much exposure as possible). I may start talking about head-world stuff here as well.
CorvusAnimus Tumblr - This is more for me to reblog things I enjoy and to interact with people on Tumblr in a more casual way. This is all just stuff I like, this will not be an art vehicle for me.

For the record, I love interacting with people on Tumblr!!!

Thank you everyone who responded to my previous entry, I read them all!

First off, I didn't think "head-world" would be that misinterpretable of a concept, but I got a few people questioning what I meant (from various places I posted this to). Let me clarify; by "head-world" I mean a fictitious world or universe you have created characters for, stories for, environments for, etc. For example, the entire world where George R. R. Martin's books A Song of Ice and Fire take place are his "head-world"; the Harry Potter universe is J. K. Rowling's "head world"; etc.

I have a few more questions for you guys (which I will answer as well):

1. What do you plan on doing with your head-world? Why did you create it/them?
I have two main ones and I created them because they were concepts or stories I haven't seen, but would like to see. They also center around topics I like to think about, are important to me, and want to discuss creatively. I've thought about how I want to get them out to the public. I would LOVE to do a comic, but I am very weak at sequential art and, more importantly, I have no time. I've thought about writing a series of novels or books, but I fear my scientific writing skills murder my ability to write interestingly and creatively for fiction readers. What I would really like to do, realistically, is spot illustrations for a written story, much in the style of The Katurran Odyssey. However, if we disregard reality? I'd love to see my concepts as movies or as television series!

2. Do you openly share your head-world with the public? Why or why not?
I don't share either of mine at the moment. I often teeter around on whether or not I should. I worry about a couple of things. If I share my worlds I run the risk of my ideas being plagiarized by people who can put out media much faster than I can and therefore losing credit and control of my concepts. However, I worry that if I don't share my head-worlds publicly then if someone happens to converge on my ideas, and gets them "out there" before me, then I'm the one looking like the copy-cat or plagiarizer. At the moment I feel like my concepts are sufficiently unique that I don't have to worry about the latter, but you never know!!


How about you guys?

Does anyone else have multiple head-worlds?

I have at least two. Both are very distinct in how they are structured, the characters, base issues/concepts, and the kinds of stories they generate. I often find it hard to decide which one I should focus on more. Sometimes one takes the back seat to the other readily, but sometimes, like now, they are both fighting for attention.

Anyone else have this, or a similar problem? I’d love to hear how you manage multiple worlds, and even a little bit about them would be fun :)

My husband and I entered a Fender contest where you take a photo of you with Fender equipment at a licensed Fender dealer. My husband is super pumped about this. I'm here to pander to all of you and ask for your votes! You can vote on more than one photo and you don't have to "like" or sign up for anything to do so. Here are links to the photos of my husband and me. Thanks so much!

Also, THANK YOU very much for all of your feedback on my previous post. It was super helpful!

I have some questions for you guys that I would be very grateful to receive feedback on:

1. Do you like having artists you watch be more accessible online? I.e. using multiple sources of social media to talk about or display art?

2. If I were to make a public Twitter would you follow it?

3. Do you use Tumblr?

4. If I were to make a SageGoat facebook page, would you follow it?

5. Would you be interested in my science and natural history thoughts and ramblings on these social media outlets?

Thanks for any feedback!

A friend of mine is going through an incredibly rough time. I know a lot of folks are having a hard time lately, but she's not only facing homelessness, she's also dealing with a cancer diagnosis for her very young dog. Please, spare some time to read and if you can donate or even just boost the signal, I'd appreciate it.

I've created a "Flood Loss" Wish List on Amazon for the books we wish to replace from the flood. Some of people have asked what they could do to help, and maybe purchasing a book or two would be the best thing at this point. Used is perfectly fine by me!!

FLOOD LOSS - AMAZON WISHLIST

I have things set by priority as well.


Thank you <3


(And no obligation!! just putting this here if you are interested.)

My home is under water. The water came up so fast. We had gotten everything in our basement at least a foot off the ground and put the washer and dryer on cinder blocks. Then was lunch. When we got home Zack and I decided to keep an eye on things and work a little to pass the time. Not too long after we got home our neighbors alerted us that our street was starting to flood. I looked outside and saw water creeping toward the area we all usually parked our cars (everyone had already moved their cars up hill).

We started to scramble to get things ready to leave and the water was rising so, so fast. By the time we got things mostly ready and were going to take the cats out to the cars first, we had to slosh through knee-deep water to get to our cars. Our apartments sit on a man-made hill above the road, but everything around us was flowing with water. We then sloshed back to get my dog, starling, and our suitcase, put them all in another car, and sloshed back. By the time we got all the electrical stuff turned off and our emergency gas switch off the water was mid-thigh high. We then helped a bunch of our neighbors who were also taken by surprise. We also had to help a girl break in to her dad's apartment (who was out of town), but her cats were still inside. By then firefighters were coming in to make sure everyone was getting the hell out of there. I stayed to make sure the last of our neighbors were good to go, while Zack took the kitties to our friend Chris' house, and then waded back across the now crotch-deep water, with a current, to get back to my car.

A bunch of spectators came to look at the water rise, along with residents of the next street up and the firefighters.

That's how I left my home. An island in a river flowing all around it.

I'm just numb right now. All we can do is wait. It's torture.
