I have a new addition to my home office: an intrepid crow with his trusty cat and squirrel companions.
A few months back I saw pictures of @bisonrimant 's work, and knew I needed something of my own. I could not be happier.
If you're interested in seeing how this was made, there's an incredible blog post here with pictures and videos: https://bisonrimant.fr/work-in-progress
One more thing that's worth sharing: @bisonrimant was a real pleasure to work with*, and he's currently available for new commissions. If you want something beautiful, handcrafted, and wooden in your future, the time to strike is now.
* I've commissioned multiple custom swords over the years, and each one has turned into a slog of delays, poor communication, and missed expectations. Working with Bison was the exact opposite: clear proactive communication, expectations set and met, and a beautiful work of art delivered long before I expected it. 10/10
@SQLAllFather thank you very much
@SQLAllFather @bisonrimant it a wonderful piece
@SQLAllFather @bisonrimant Gosh that's gorgeous!
@SQLAllFather I’ve @bisonrimant work online and this by far one of my favorites. It’s incredible
@SQLAllFather @bisonrimant It's so cool when my parasocial peeps spontaneously connect across the Fedi.
@SQLAllFather oh my god this commission was for you!! I've seen the pictures here on Mastodon and have been wanting it for myself
I just squealed with equal measures of envy and delight Great taste, but then I knew that about you already.
@bisonrimant beautiful work as always. One day... one day it'll be for me
I had the same experience watching some of his previous pieces come together. It's even more beautiful than the pictures capture, and Bison was a pleasure to work with through the entire process.
