Hello! ✨ I'm Erika (formerly Fainder online)
I'm an animator (Spine) for videogames, currently working on @animalroyale.com
This account is for personal art and hanging out. I like animals of every kind and stylized art, so expect some of that here 😊

So I still wanted to try my hand at the last subject of the paleoart workshop I attented back in November, which was Amphimachairodus giganteus. I've been doing some sketches to explore but I'm very insecure with this animal😅

Someone needs to teach me how to properly scan and edit scans with real media. I've done none for so long I don't know anymore 😩

If you want some good news moving into the holidays, Ed has you covered.
Do you remember the UK consultation from Dec 2024- Feb 2025?
It took then almost a year to read through the 11 500(!) respondents.
95%(!!!) Of respondents rejected the government's proposal of an unworkable "opt-out" scheme.

Brutal (but fair) Guardian headline today
Only 3% of respondents to the UK government’s consultation on AI & copyright supported their unfair plan to hand AI companies people’s work for free.
95% said AI companies should license training data.

Before the European Enlightenment, cultures across the world engaged scientifically with the natural history, and showcased it visually with their own unique visual language and perception of the living world. I do not understand the current aversion to different "styles" in scientific visual art.

I wanted to do a few more for #Dinovember2025 but alas, November fled
This is supposedly bruhathkayosaurus, which I picked for the sole reason that once I read it very convincingly as bruhthankyousaurus, multiple times.
Pose vaguely inspired by Gertie

They are fun! I even had some friends over one day and we had a shrinky dink party day as if we were 8yo!

Who hasn't seen these in a while? In lack of anything better to do, I tried them all and they still work! These are...20... years old 😶
Does this make me good (kept them in good shape) or bad (haven't used them) at hoarding art materials

It doesn't fit into #dinovember properly but it's still a cool animal so I'll still mention the hashtag 😤

#Dinovember2025 had Megaraptor in the list but I decided I wanted to do Gigantoraptor instead! After seeing it in a museum recently and it was very impressive!
I went for shaggy ostrich-like feathers on the arms instead of neat and tidy wings like other theropods
