Bingfeng | The Classic of Mountains and Seas

My 10th illustration of 山海经(Classic of Mountains and Seas) - 并封(Bìngfēng) In the middle of the wilderness, there is a mountain called Aoaoju, where the sun and the moon go in. There is a beast with two heads on each side, named Bingfeng. It has a head like a pig, with two heads, one at one end, their wills are opposite to each other, and one head can only control a pair of feet.

Porca Cozinhando by Simone Koubik Via Flickr: Série "PORCAS CAPRICHOSAS' Procuro enfatizar o trabalho doméstico cotidiano, mas com um toque de bom humor sobre o paradoxo de uma porca ser caprichosa. Sempre ligo a idéia das porcas caprichosas a mim mesma, quando eu estou fazendo os meus afazeres domésticos. Logo imagino uma nova porca (eu) envolvida em serviços de dona de casa..

Guardian Pig

Guardian Pigs are aggressive Pigs that spawn from Pig Torches. They have higher Health than regular Pigs but drop the same resources. They cannot be bribed with Meat or attracted by a One-man Band, making them appear to be very loyal to their Pig King.

If a Guardian Pig is dead, it will respawn at its Pig Torch after 4 days. In Sandbox Mode, they may be located seemingly in the middle of nowhere, usually guarding small patches of Grass and Berry Bushes. While in Adventure Mode, they stay in the Pig Fortress, which is surrounded by Wood Walls. In world 4 of Adventure Mode, you can find 4 Pig Torches surrounding the Pig King instead of Obelisks. Sometimes, the Guardian pigs will be protecting a Maxwell Statue instead.

Behaviour

Guardian Pigs seem to have a certain degree of discipline, as they do not eat any food on the ground and stay near the Pig Torch to keep it lit. They will chase away normal Pigs if they stray too close to them, as well as kill them if the pig is cornered or unable to get away before the Guardian Pig first attacks.

Guardian Pigs' behavior changes according to the location of their Pig Torch. If the torch is beside a Pig King, the guardians will reluctantly allow the player to stay and trade with their king. However, if the torch guards a fortress or is far from the king, the Guardian Pigs will pursue the player until they've run a certain distance from their torch.

Apparel

Pigs can wear headgear items. Clicking on a Pig with a headgear item selected will equip it on the Pig.

If a Pig receives a head armor item, it will be able to receive its damage reduction effects. The durability will still be drained if the Pig gets damaged. Usually, the only way to get hats back from Pigs without killing them is to replace it with another hat, as fighting the Pig will break it before the Pig dies. Frogs can also make them drop a given hat, too. The Pigs can also wear the Miner Hat; while wearing it, they will provide light and not panic during dusk or in a Cave, while also preventing nearby Pigs from panicking.

Re: Vegan Art

I also don't want to pretend that my personal politics don't influence what ends up on this blog. So, you do get post like [1] and [2], but I avoid art in the 'politicians are greedy fat pigs' genre, even if it's got some historical merit.

Trying to balance quality and quantity can be challenging.

Anonymous asked:

Is the frequency of vegan art you post because you are vegan, or is it just a common enough genre of pig art?

It is a very common genre, and I do find some of it interesting and thought provoking. Two days ago I shared a painting by Limppu Wittick that's Christian Vegan Art. I'd never heard of that, or considered someone might make a (Christian) theological argument towards veganism. I grew up Roman Catholic and presently work in a very Christian environment; and while I have been exposed to some very interesting things, that was a first.

I don't want to blather on about my personal beliefs because I know we're here for the pigs. I'd love to be a pescatarian or whatever, but food can be complicated, and I don't think I have a right to tell other people what to do in that regard. I try to tag vegan art for that reason.
