🌻 Greetings! 🌻

I'm a freelance fantasy artist, creature and character designer who is also into Solarpunk!

Please consider checking out my feeds for updates on art, my webcomic project "Flowerpunk" and the Solarpunk feed for climate hope!

A drawing of an earth colossus crossing the Scottish coast. The colossus has six legs and somewhat resembles a massive bull-like ungulate. It is made from earthy materials and has forests and plains growing on its back. There is a strong fossil motif running throughout its design, including its lower legs which resemble giant shells. The creature also has huge, stony antlers protruding from its head, though its face is a cross between bull and human. It also has several manmade structures on its back, including giant glass domes with trees inside, some modern wooden and stone huts and the ruins of an abbey on the back end. It is also has several airborne wind turbines tethered to it. In the foreground of the image are two climate scientists on the clifftop observing the creature. They have set up some equipment for measuring meteorological conditions. A huge, creepy sea monster lurks menacingly beneath the surface of a subterranean lake. All around it are the ruins of once futuristic ships. This is the giganath from the Arrhenius TTRPG. A drawing of a creature known as a β€œMoonstalker.” This is a creature from the β€œFlowerpunk” webcomic. The drawing takes place at night and the canvas is dominated by a navy blue colour scheme. In the foreground are some cliffs and tress. Off in the distance is a grassy plain with a river running through it. Even further into the distance, the moonstalker strides across the landscape, its tail stretching off far into the distance. The moon-shaped structure on its back climbs high into the sky, lit up by the light of the moon. There is a small mountain range along the horizon and some nimbus clouds billow up into a starry sky. A drawing of two serpentine dragons affectionately touching noses. One is white with rainbow feathers and fur (Horatio), the other black with rainbow feathers and fur (Elijah). They are in a forest.

You can tell there's clear intent with the children's drawings whereas with the AI it just... doesn't even know where a tail is supposed to go 😬
A terrible AI image that is a winged lion with technicolour wings but for some reason the back leg is a mermaid tail and I have no words for how unbelievably daft this looks. It could have been creative if all four of the legs were tails or the AI had realised this is a cool opportunity to make a creative creature based on a "sea lion" pun but of course AI has no intent so said opportunity was missed and what we got was this travesty.

I’m talking beautiful things like a community garden, skill and tool exchanges, free community medical care. The only way to escape these systems is to make it so they’re optional, not essential, for our survival.

So, build or learn something new this year. Your β€œsurvival hobby.” Then share it!

In lieu of Discord’s age verification policies, time to make another post about the dangers of online censorship (especially in connection to child trafficking).

Tl;dr: These policies are about surveillance, profit, and data mining…not about β€˜saving the children.’

A drawing of two different goblins. Both goblins have a humanoid shape with features that blend aspects of possum, raccoon, newt, toad, rat and skunk. The goblin on the left has a green, blue and white colour scheme with black markings. It is standing up and wearing a primitive cloth and one wooden earring. The goblin to the right is completely naked and crouching with a devilish smirk. It has a dark greyish-green colour scheme with a bright red/orange eye and yellowish-orange lichen like structures on its back. (Content warning for trypophobia) A drawing of a hippocampus from Flowerpunk. A hippocampus usually has the front half of a horse and the back half of a fish, but here the horse and fish (particularly seahorse) features have been blended more to make the design feel more cohesive. It has a white body with pinkish-red markings. The fins that are similar to that of the leafy seadragon are bright red, orange and yellow with blue markings. Noel (they/them) standing and smiling at the viewer while holding the head of their fursuit dinosaur costume. Noel is wearing ripped jeans, trainers, a checkered shirt, a sleeveless jacket and a baker's boy hat. The fursuit head looks like a blue dinosaur/dragon creature with feathers and metal chainsaw-tooth like decorations. A drawing of 7 characters who are part of "the lovely anarchists" in the Flowerpunk webcomic. From left to right, Bruno, Cassie, Molly, Kimi, Ludwig, Earwig and Maggie. Maggie is at the front of the group clapping her hands and singing. Ludwig is playing a pride-themed electric lute while Earwig follows looking excited. Kimi is vibing to the music behind Ludwig, Molly is marching energetically and Cassie is stopping her hat from blowing off. At the back of the group, Bruno is doing a proud march/jig along to the music.

Oh hello! Nice to see you here on the Blue app and I'm glad you like my work so much πŸ’– The universe I'm working on has changed quite a lot over the years but I'm still making sure to populate it with weird creatures 😊

Doodled up a little #Flowerpunk species, the sycafawn!

One of the tiniest members of the unguligrowth group of magical creatures, they reach a height of just a few inches. They live in and around sycamore trees as the name suggests, disguising themselves as seeds.

A drawing of a tiny deer-like creature known as a sycafawn. It has a large set of horns that resemble sycamore seeds. Its entire body is covered in leaf-like structures that are green, yellow and pale orange in colour.

Also if you liked the sycafawn, I did another tiny plant-deer here 😊

The bluebells are coming out again, looks like it's time to repost this drawing of a Bluejac from the Flowerpunk universe!

They are only tiny, about 20cm in height.

I would like a little sycafawn friend. I think it would like to travel around on my hand when its wings for tired, so it could explore further afield

I'm so sorry for your loss Bree, Kona was such a beautiful girl πŸ«‚ We're pretty much in the same position right now since we just lost our greyhound girl Rio who we adopted alongside another greyhound called Pippa in 2013 who passed away in 2022.

Introducing the Hoori-Doori-Din-Rin!

Much like the chuckme and the chidderin, they are named after the unusual call they make. They are arguably the court jesters of the world of magical creatures with their painfully unserious behaviour and absurd albeit elaborate dances.

#Flowerpunk #Art
A drawing of a creature known as a hoori-doori-din-rin. It is a bipedal creature with no proper forelimbs and a round head with giant, orange eyes. The left image presents a bald version of the creature. Its skin is off-white and pinkish and there is a set of eight tiny, featherless wing-like limbs. The middle image presents one of these creatures with all of its plumage. The topmost layer is covered in very dark purple, black and blue feathers. A drawing to the right of this middle image presents the under-plumage which is very colourful and heavily patterned. The right image presents one of these creatures dancing with all of its feathers erect and all the colours visible. The creature also has a blue tongue and the bulbs to either side of its face are inflated to make the display even more elaborate. There is also a small sketch of the creature's head in the bottom right corner.

If you would like to befriend one of these bizarre creature, it helps to wear the most extravagant and colourful clothes you can. This will guarantee a ruffle of hoori-doori-din-rin will come running up to you like a group of excited children and begin dancing and screaming with excessive merriment.

As for defence, the hoori-doori-din-rin live in large communities known as a "ruffle." When threatened, they will bunch together with their feathers stretched out and interlocked, shivering violently and spitting a natural dye from the blue glands on their cheeks.

The feathers serve many functions, though the primary function is communication, which the hoori-doori-din-rin does mostly through dance. Over 50 different dances have been observed and they have incredible command over each of their separate cape feathers.

Once they have reached adulthood, the hoori-doori-din-rin has a beautiful set of technicolour plumes that it can use for communication and defence. These creatures typically inhabit tropical rainforests and the bright plumage is seen in both males and females of the species.

The hoori-doori-din-rin starts life as a small pup that looks like it can't remember what blinking is supposed to do. They have a downy, greyish coat that over time is replaced with an increasing amount of colours.
A drawing of a baby hoori-doori-din-rin. This bipedal creature is sitting on the floor, its enormous orange eyes looking off in both directions. It is covered in a white, fluffy coat and has blue cheeks.
