Concepts for some antagonists in Garden of Ants: ladybug, antlion, jumping spider, and mouse spider.
These units do not only attack your ant units, but might also be a danger to the colony's aphid herds!

Well, #InverteFest is coming up to its end, so I'm sharing a special preview for my bsky buggos of one of the enamel pins from my upcoming Ancient Arthropods crowdfunder:

An Arthropleura from the Carboniferous period.

#inverts #SciArt #enamelpins 🪲🦐
A preview of an enamel pin. It is an Arthropleura that is grey with orange spots and red legs. There is a timeline at the top pointing to the Carboniferous era at 315 million years ago. The text on the graphic is as follows: "The largest terrestrial myriapod during the Carboniferous period. It was over 2 meters long and sported features from both centipedes and millipedes, often causing discourse. 2.5 inches, gold metal, screen print."

I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io.

While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍

Flow: community.trueref.io/trueref_gest...
Pose: community.trueref.io/free_referen...
A screen shot of TrueRef Flow, a timed gesture practice tool. It features a woman standing straight, with one hand up in a mage like gesture. A screenshot of TrueRef Pose, a free pose library. It features several images of an athletic woman poses in a variety of different ways.

Accountability posting The Mushroom Guy

#art #critters
Rough colorless sketch of some sort of devious mammal with little pointed ears and a long tail. To say nothing of the mushrooms growing from his shoulders. And the extra set of arms.

A predator that lurks above the ever-moving lichen mats of its forest home.

Pheromones are used to attract curious prey, which gather confused beneath the creature. Those not swift of foot are impaled, to be relieved of their liquefied insides.

Swivels its head and uses it as an axe to fell mighty trees and build its nests. The axe is also used for self-defense and hunting prey. It can often be observed sharpening its bill on stone.

Hello, #InverteFest and happy almost-2026 (or already 2026 for some peeps!) Have anomalocaris plush #2. This one is based on the wikipedia illustration, though a little more simplified/chibi.
Four views of an anomalocaris plush in warm, crab-like tones of red and orange, sporting yellow eyes with slit black pupils. It's on a background of cool-toned minky fabrics piled up to vaguely resemble an abstract seascape. A simple flat-colored line picture of an anomalocaris, from wikipedia, which is extremely accurate and has far, far more segments and bits to it than the previous plush.

Anomalocaris number three! I tried to do the "gill fringe" that seems to line the body segments, on this one, but it didn't come out looking like gills, it just looks weird. Oh well! The color scheme is based on a mantis shrimp. #InverteFest
A picture of an anomalocaris plush, mostly showing cool blue, green, and purple, but with the focus on a golden glass eye backed with hexagons to simulate a compound structure. The same anomalocaris plush, shown from the front, showing off the dark blue sclerites, golden eyes, and silly looking eyelash yarn gill fringes. A top down view of the anomalocaris plush, showcasing the eyelash yarn gill fringes, and also showing off the deep purple side and tail fins. A bottom view of the anomalocaris plush, revealing that the fins are red underneath, and the belly is a sort of tomato-orange. The feeding tentacles or claws or shrimps are deep purple, and there is a red mouth lined with white triangular teeth, which are made from faux pearl beads.
