Artwork Revenge for Gryphon982 during Art Fight 2024. Shows a gryphon with taloned front and back feet. They are a mixture of paler brown and dark brown with banded and tiger like stripes with larger dark bands on the wings, head and tail, red feathering on cheeks, down the neck and along the tail until the red tuft and white underside. They have a yellow beak and green eyes. On the right is a Bumble Cat. They are persian like in fluffiness matching a bees yellow and black striping and a white tail tip. They have antaee, two sets of visible paws and wings. They are tapping a feather toy being held for them. Background is a pale of light green ovals on a plain olive green background. Artwork Revenge for Acrobetia during Art Fight 2023. Artwork depicts a four-horned black wool, long tailed sheep centaur with white ears in a half standing half hovering position on her rearmost legs. She is wearing various golden ribbons and beads including three sets of bells over her wool and plain green dress that drapes down her back. On the right of her is an image of a old style wheel crossed with a ship's wheel. On the left is the life cycle of a rabbit going from newly born to adult to skeleton and then a green ghost shape held between her hooved hands. This image features a bird like skull with higher nasal ridges, a double pointed crown and an additional four eye like shapes above the brow and the forehead. From the upper left and right sprout two wooden antlers covered in moss which have a pair of leaves in between. In the middle below the wooden pair is another set which are bone like and covered in thin rope. Below reflected on both sides is two shards of ice and three black feathers. The image shows a chimera made of multiple elements called a Notalope. He has a crocodile head with boar tusks, blue eyes, white rabbit ears and roe deer antlers. His head and neck are covered in brown giraffe like patterning over yellow and his neck has a yellow scruff mane like a giraffe. The forearms are structured for walking on down to three toes at the end with feathers that are clearly not designed for flight. The body is an orange base with brown tiger stripes and white stomach. The hind legs being deer like in structure and at the ankle the patterning changes to yellow instead of orange ending with yellow hooves. There is a running tuft of fur going down the hips into a yellow and browned striped tail than is reminiscent of a ring-tailed lemur with more of a point at the end.

Two very old dragon designs, Siamet and Darji respectively. One is a sea serpent style the other your more usual dragon with feathering and they're dragon married. Their kidlet, known as Tori, is currently posing as a human.
Old rough colour slapped on a bust sketch of a serpentine style dragon. Siamet is a desaturated orange with darker orange band striping down to the tip of her head. The latter is thickest the spine and behind her "skull plate". She has pointy brow bones and a pale lower jaw with fluff tufts for some reason. She has blue antlers, three antennae dealies ending in yellow, dark sclera with blue eyes and a blue eye mark above them. She has a long dorsal fin down the back of her neck segmented by orange spines with blue tips and orange fin between them marked with a single blue spot. This is all on a turquoise background. Old rough colour bust sketch of a more traditionally shaped dragon if one with a pointed, hooked snout. Darji is a grey-blue with white painted markings marking his brows, antler growth spots, down to his nose tip and two stripes down from the eye. He has a fin like beard tipped in white and scrags of purple fluff starting from the centre of his head going down the spine and partially down the front of his neck. He's also got purple braids adorned with gold bands for some reason and two sets of tiny antlers. There are yellow spots fringed with white going down his neck. A badly drawn wing can be seen which seems to be feathered from white to purple. All of this is on a pale grey background.

Thanks to @aid1043.bsky.social and Penguinstrain, Columns Jewel has an English patch! This was a #Columns keitai game that was preserved last year. It has a story mode, where Sana travels back in time after wearing a mysterious bracelet. There's also a puzzle mode with 40 puzzles!

I'm generally suspicious of any so-called "dark" Batman stories as it keeps boiling down to various flavours of "He went insane and became evil". Superman gets it too, even made him a nazi once.

Fanfic writers are constantly clowning on them with /actual/ dark takes.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Would anyone be interested in quiver coms? I need to raise some capital for shoebox and Vegas and I've been looking for an excuse to do some physical painting

$350 for something comparable in detail to my Eldraine quiver and $300 for a bolt; I'm kinda obsessed with patterned stuff lately

Red-whiskered bulbul (Pycnonotus jocosus) on African Tulip Tree (Spathodea campanulate), Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, from my sketchbook.

1/4 Ink on Paper

#art #birds #sciart #scientificillustration #birdart #traditionalart #illustration #nature #indianwildlifeartist #scicomm #ink #sketchbook
Black spiral binding of the sketchbook, brown bamboo brush with black bristles. Black and white ink handmade work on paper, foliage of African Tulip Tree (Spathodea campanulate) and buds of the same tree. A sharp pointy bill, white throat, black iris, crown with a crest pointing upwards a sign of alertness. Flowers of the same tree blooming behind the crest. Round body of the Red-whiskered bulbul (Pycnonotus jocosus) perched on a branch of the tree, bit of the bottom part of its tail is visible. Red-whiskered bulbul (Pycnonotus jocosus) on African Tulip Tree (Spathodea campanulate), Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, from my sketchbook. My health is slowly improving, and I’m rarely in my studio. Have made a few studies using ink in my new sketchbook, watching bulbuls, sunbirds, and flowerpeckers. Watching birds from my window and balcony soothes my soul and is something I anticipate each day. The occasional koel song is delightful to my ears. This year, it seems like spring is early, and my neighboring trees started flowering in full flow. Their bright colors are a sight to behold! The Neeru Kayi mara buds remind me of my childhood days of squirting them on friends, their powerful odor, color and the victims’ reactions are such days to relive again.
