Felt like practicing something colorful and cartoony, so scanned and painted up this sketch of an Enchilada. He's probably chasing after a bat or somethin'

Working on a study of a vampire bat. There's a decent amount of resources available for the musculature of the wings and upper body, but if anyone knows of some good resources on hind-legs send them my way.

For Guild Wars fans, there's a new mini doc on youtube. I participated in an interview for it but only a few brief quotes made it in. Too much to cover, too little time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpm2...

To others who care about wildlife and wilderness, bills antithetical to good science-based conservation are once again being aimed at the Endangered Species Act. Commenting on these proposals does sometimes help push back. Check out this page from my local nonprofit for more info:

Really cool thing in case anyone didn’t know this about Caddisfly larva casings. They’ll armor up with nearly anything they find… Which gives me an art idea; what if dragon hatchlings are squishy and this is why dragons hoard treasure?
"Caddisfly" is a term for ~14,000 species of insects in Order Trichoptera.
They are characterized by aquatic larva followed by a brief terrestrial adulthood where they resemble moths, often living just long enough to breed & lay eggs in water then die.
Also... they can make JEWELRY. Bling bugs.

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.
