Here's the Spinosaurus I painted on the Nintendo 3DS :)
Check the Alt text for #arttips too!

Stylized Spinosaurus painting, with lots of fun lighting work painted manually on its body: - reflected light from the ground; - ambient light from the sky, edge light from the main light source,the sun; - highlights on particularly pointy and hard-surface areas; - subsurface scattering in the flesh, etc. (I may do a breakdown for that as I think this knowledge may be useful for artist folk) It also comes with the 3D effect but this needs a separate gif/video to show that :)

Everyone's favourite hadrosaur. :}

Parasaurolophus
Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, 132 × 85 mm.
Drawing in black ink of the hadrosaur, Parasaurolophus, walking over a patch of ferny groundcover. A trio of azhdarchid pterosaurs fly over in the distance. Parasaurolophus is one of the most well known hadrosaurs and has a distinctive, tubular head crest. The drawing is primarily in silhouette, with the white of the paper showing through in details such as the stripy markings on the hadrosaur's body. The artwork is very small and intricate, and is photographed with a penny for scale, together with the traditional Chinese brush used to draw piece.

it's #SundayFishSketch today it's an arowana
I realized fish are a good subject to relax when I feel I can't draw anything more complex. Also I want to use watercolor more loosely T_T
Posting a couple sketch pages from yesterday too

Please enjoy these delightful images from a 1993 paper on walrus vision, showing estimated visual fields in different poses (I especially love how they look like alternate covers for a scifi novel about space walruses with ray-shooting eyeballs)

Source: www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/wp-content/u...
Two panels—one on top of the other—with each panel showing black-and-white illustrations of two walruses. In each panel, grey triangular fields extend from one of the walrus' eyes, showing the field of view. The walrus in the top panel is looking over its shoulders at the second walrus; a walrus in the bottom panel has its head raised and is looking straight ahead at the walrus in front of it. Two panels—one on top of the other—with each panel showing black-and-white illustrations of walruses. In each panel, grey triangular fields extend from one of the walrus' eyes, showing the field of view. The walrus in the top panel is looking down at a smaller walrus; the walrus in the bottom panel is looking down at the seafloor.

The light was poor and I was at a fast shutter speed so these shots are soft in detail, but I'd like to share this moment. A few days ago, a Canada Goose started swimming close to a Sandhill Crane nest. Dad Crane was sitting on the nest when suddenly Mama Crane flew in and drop kicked the goose.

...and more felines in profile! I'm practicing sleek shapes. Leopards are beautiful but tbh spots are boring when doing quick studies, I skimped on them

Seven gars are swimming in the lime green background. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes. There are heart-shaped water droplets around.

#InverteFest A larger than life size Blue Ringed Octopus sculpture from 2022 🥹 💕 I still love this piece, it's so fun.

#Sculpture #Handmade #OOAK #Clay #Octopus #Space #Nebula #Stars 🦑🐡 #Art #ArtYear #ArtGallery
A larger than life sized blue ringed octopus sculpture sits on top of a vintage tea cup. She is hand sculpted from clay, and holding a genuine pearl. The tea cup is decorated with vibrant blue glass cabochons, soldered around the cup. A rope of braided sea grass is wrapped around the saucer. Some pieces of driftwood rest on top of the rope, arranged around the saucer. Photographed on a solid grey background under bright, neutral colored studio lighting.

Guam kingfishers, known as Sihek in Guam, became extinct in the wild after the brown treesnake was accidentally introduced to their native island in the 1940s.
