Lichenomphalia umbellifera on an algae-covered stick. This species of mushroom is a basidiolichen lichen. Fungal hyphae integrate with algal cells, using the food produced by the algae through photosynthesis.

Largest shroom ~ 4cm high.
Photo of two tiny mushrooms growing from a green, algae covered stick. The mushrooms are tan/yellow in colour with dark ridging on the caps.

Bees 🐝
This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes. These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals. Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests. Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

Just a doodle... ^~^
A pencil drawing depicting an abstract creature with a head crest, two trunks with claws at the end, and a sort of angry expression.

So you think Merlin the magician wasn't real?
I guess that means you also don't believe that he still exists and walks amongst us?
Then how do you explain this??? ;)

A speculative plant and animal native to a tidally locked, m-dwarf star orbiting planet.
#specevo #speculativeevolution #aliens #digitalart
A beige colored plant that looks sort of like a liverwort, and a fuzzy, vaguely insectoid and reptillian creature with reddish-tan fur with light colored accents. The animal has a green mouth, black teeth, and a singular back leg (think furcula).

Ground Skag - A small insectoid creature native to the savannahs of the #scorchbelt. Once a female accepts a male into her burrow, the male rips his wings off and feeds them to the female as a sign of devotion. Because ground skags are blind, these creatures heavily rely on their sense of smell.
A diagram of a creature named the ground skag - the one on the bottom has a mottled brown body, orange wings (vestigial), and a long, purple proboscis. The two ground skags on top are dark blue-violet, one is missing its wings, while the other has blue-violet wings with a large false eye on the tips of them.

Basic physics explanation of why a weasel bites proportionately harder than a fox (and a cougar). Also why a cougar bites proportionately harder than a wolf.

Art trade for @pacificbirdnerd.bsky.social! This is her OC, Callie. Callie is a young gryphon living in the PNW trying to navigate life on her own. I had a ton of fun working on this art, and especially doing some research on PNW native plants and animals.

#Digitalart #OC #ArtTrade
A gryphon (a lion/eagle hybrid, but this one is a red tailed hawk and some kind of big cat hybrid) staring wistfully at a viceroy butterfly. Various flowering plants and grasses are all around along with a large mountain in the background.

Even though I did kinda jump on the badwagon back when the frozen Homotherium cub was published, I decided to focus on the adult interpretation, though I knew eventually I would like to do something featuring cubs. And here it is! A nice family portrait.

#paleoart #SciArt #artbyjulio
A momma Homotherium accompanied by her two playful cubs on a snowy field. The animals are rusty-colored with some light cream and white lighlights, mirroring the colors of the environment around them.

"Nobody… nobody trusts anybody now, and we're all very tired." I keep meaning to do a proper The Thing painting and never finding the time, one day. In the meanwhile here is a Post-It Note piece done with ink, markers and acrylic gouache.
Illustration. A bearded man wearing sunglasses and an incredibly big hat stands at the door of a helicopter. Below shows a scene of the helicopter approaching a snowed in US research base in the Antarctica.

A large, vaguely green avian/dinosaurian creature with parrot fish teeth, curly tail feathers, and a red, fleshy protrusion on its face. A smaller creature with orange fur, colorful clothing, and a beak is riding it, holding the large creature's bridle.
