[ #Kirby #KirbyAirRiders #art ]
An illustration of a transformed Angry Scarfy from Kirby Air Riders. There are two poses of the mutant: one pose bares his teeth, tongue, and spit, and the other depicts Scarfy licking his own eyeball as a gecko would. Warp Star iconography and an additional sketch of Scarfy decorate the dark, splotted background. The watermark on the illustration says "Rara Avis."

A screenshot of Clip Studio Paint, within it a work-in-progress of a character design in the form of an anthropomorphic yellow-crested cockatoo girl with a large yellow ponytail and a green turtleneck. The background is gray with some white strokes and a flat color version of the work imposed behind her. The watermark on the screenshot says "Rara Avis."

(and you!!! 🫵 if you want to!!! 🫵)
This illustration acts as a profile of sorts for a character, in this instance of George Cliff, an anthropomorphic homing pigeon man. He’s of humanoid proportions for a bird character, sporting hands and legs and a small beak on a larger, more humanlike (by cartoon standards) head. He’s got some tufts of feather-hair coming off the top and from his nape, acting as a sort of mullet. George wears a mauve dress shirt with a magenta tie (in the dress shirt pocket is a similarly magenta pen), navy pants, and navy sneakers. His darker arms mirror the dark trim of a typical rock dove. The background is composed of various “sketchy” flairs and a wood texture to the side. The title reads “George Cliff,” and the text below reads (left to right, top to bottom) “JOURNALIST AT BIRDFEED” (a logo of the back of a bird mimicking a cursor framing the text), “MALE (HE/HIM),” “HOMING PIGEON,” and “(Columba livia domestica sapiens)” below that. Further below are various blurbs, reading as follows: “Angry at the world he wants to save,” “Episodic narrow-mindedness, sometimes lets his emotions guide his ideals,” “Tends to instigate conflict partially out of a genuine pursuit of justice and partially because it’s something of a habit,” “Relentlessly ambitious (and easily distracted),” “Comes off as hard to approach to most, isn’t actually all that hard to befriend,” “A good person to the point of being incredibly anal about his moral compass; will not turn down the opportunity to learn and grow (when he recognizes it),” and “Enjoys photography as a hobby.” George’s speech bubble says “In my personal opinion, I’m objectively correct.” The watermark on the illustration says "Rara Avis." An illustration of a Five Nights at Freddy's fan character of a Dalmatian pelican animatronic named Pelly with information about the FNAF character written on the sides. The first pose is a fullbody, and the second is a top-down view of a "jumpscare" pose, showcasing her splitting beak, torn pouch fabric, and her neck below bending beneath it to push out the fabric and the "tongue." The background is dark, grungy and glitchy, and coupled with corrupted visages of the character hidden in the sides. The text reads (from top to bottom): "Pelly the Pelican," "Babysitter Animatronic," ">> Beak pouch for cradling infants," ">> Extendable beak for ample space," ">>"Pelican's tongue" functions as bottle," ">> Cavity in chest accessible via heart panel; can be stocked with THE UNJUSTLY BLOOD OF A NEWBORN CHILD milk!" (with a portion of the text crossed out), and ">> ample space for baby. for pput baby in. baby Safe" verbatim. The watermark on the illustration says "Rara Avis." A rascally anthropomorphic fox in the shape of a stereotypical yellow pencil. The face takes after the beige top of a pencil with the nose acting as the pencil tip. The ears appear to be, effectively, a pencil cut down the middle, and the graphite in the center accents what is the interior portion of the ear. The body is long and noodle-shaped, with the pencil-like arms and legs cutting out from the sides. There is an insignia at the right arm with "2" on it, a reference to no. 2 pencils. There are viridian green ferrules acting as cuffs to the wrists, and connected to them are pink pencil top erasers (the gloves take after...well, hands, and the boots take after the typical triangular prism shape often seen for pencil tops). The noodle body extends out from the bottom and up, acting as a "tail." It's shaved and broken haphazardly, and a small bit of graphite can be seen within it. The background is white with a dim green and scruffy paint stroke behind the character. The watermark on the illustration says "Rara Avis." Two drawings, an illustration and a doodle, of a character with two television screens and a stereo speaker for a head. The two screens are placed against each other in a "profile" position, a geometric face-adjacent figure displayed on the screen facing towards the viewer. The speaker is placed between the screens and acts as a sort of "mouth." Below the TV head portion, the neck of the character connects to the body in the form of an extension cord with the outlets plugged in. The character is also wearing a beige dress shirt and a gray tie with TV remote buttons on it. On the leftmost illustration, a darker beige suit is held over the shoulder. On the rightmost doodle, the character is "speaking," almost excitedly. The background consists of pale gray linear static, stylistic splotches of blues and light purples, a stylistically stretched test card, and a "broken glass" look to it behind the head of the illustration. Below the illustration reads "- Chyron," the "-" symbol left there as a nod to typical subtitle formatting. Furthermore, there reads text, rendered to look like subtitles, on the leftmost side of the piece: "- Two screens, one speaker (no filter)," "- Supports subtitles," and "- That shit there a VELCRO® belt" on the top, and "- Also he has TV remote buttons buttons in his pants. Sure" at the bottom. The watermark on the illustration says "Rara Avis."

ahem. now for some more visceral and less professional words to truly capture how this makes me feel:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OOOOOOOOOHHHH MY GOOOOOOOOODDDDD AAAAAAAHHHHHH MY ART IS ON THE ELESTRALS TCG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A photo of two Boombatt cards propped up against the digital illustration in the back. One card is a Reverse Holo and signed by aDrive, and the other is a normal variant of the card. The text in the body of the card reads as follows: "Elestrals Illustration Contest Winner 2025," and "You can Disenchant [Thunder symbol] from this Boombatt in order to target and destroy an opponent's Elestral."

[ #Elestrals #ElestralsIllustrationContest #art ]
An illustration of Boombatt, an Elestral from the Elestrals TCG. Boombatt is a white bat creature with thunder bolts and lightning design flairs decorating the nose, ears, and wings. This Boombatt, modeled after the real life behaviors of the Honduran white bat, is roosting happily underneath a leafy tent.

[ #WIP #FiveNightsatFreddys #art ]
A screenshot of Clip Studio Paint, and within it, a depiction of a Dalmatian pelican animatronic in the style of FNAF, or Five Nights at Freddy's. It's a work-in-progress and very sketchy, and many various glitchy effects decorate and frame it. The text reads (from top to bottom): "twitch," "ART STREAM SCHEDULE," "WEDNESDAYS & FRIDAYS @ 11:30 PM EST," and "RARA_AVIARIUS" (with the Twitch logo to the side). Mr. Cupcake in the form of the Smiling Buck Tooth Emoji meme is also present.

As someone who has their own "fucked by Disney execs" horror story Knights of Guinevere speaks to me a certain way lol

[ #KnightsofGuinevere #art ]
An illustration of Guinevere, from Knights of Guinevere, an indie pilot created by Glitch Productions. Guinevere is against a spacey background and she holds a keychain depicting Earth, and she looks to it with a complex expression. The keychain in her hand also has a carabiner attached to it, the design referenced off of the official "Space Trio Carabiner" merch piece from the "Space Trio Plush Keychains" sold on Glitch's store. The watermark on the illustration says "Rara Avis."

I wanted to experiment with making keychains and I. Could not decide what I wanted to do first and I panicked

[ #FamilyGuy #art ]
A drawing of Peter Griffin from Family Guy with eyelashes, long, pink acrylic nails, and a gray corded telephone, a reference to a cutaway gag from "The Man with Two Brians" (7th season, 5th episode). He's swinging from the cord—designed as such for a keychain hole. The background is a blurred screenshot from the cutaway gag. The watermark on the illustration says "Rara Avis." The previous illustration, but in keychain form. A gunmetal gray lobster hook clasp, circle split ring, and chain hang from the top of the phone cord, and the keychain is outlined by a rainbow cyan-green shimmer. The keychain is in a bag, and it stands on top of a pile of other keychains of the same type. The image is lightly edited for clarity. The watermark on the photo says "Rara Avis."

A giftie for @spiraltonic.bsky.social uehehehe

[ #art ]
This illustration is of Tonic, Spiraltonic's persona. Tonic is a wiry, goatlike purple alien character designed with a cartoonish panache in mind. She sports an outfit (and accompanying raygun) that takes after scene, retro, and sci-fi subcultures with notes taken from pop culture's interpretation of aliens. Tonic is looking up at the viewer with a sense of whimsy, a hand at her chin and the other holding her raygun. The raygun is shooting out a bright lime laser blast that curves around the circular background elements. Behind Tonic is a green, wobbly interpretation of the background used in the Looney Tunes signature closing sequence. Tonic is implied to be messing with the circles, turning them wavy and amorphous. The watermark on the illustration says "Rara Avis."

This art’s for my dad’s bday! This creature here is at least 60+ years old and was gnawed and slobbered on by my aunt in Cuba
A photo of a Russian children's toy posed next to an apple and in front of a plant. The toy is a squeaky toy, and it depicts a lamblike child with a hat, pants, loose collared shirt, and apple. The paint on the hat, pants, and apple is coming off, making the toy look mostly beige.

This image depicts a character modeled after a Russian children's squeaky toy. It is of an ambiguous lamblike child wearing a red hat and pants, a yellow collared shirt, and holding a green apple. The pose on the left is of a neutral appearance, and the facial expression on the right depicts the character about to bite down on the apple. The background is sky-like with greenish swirling clouds decorating the space behind the character. The watermark on the illustration says "Rara Avis."

THANK YOU AA!! RimWorld is this sci-fi colony management sim, it's super fun!! The base game is great on its own but it's also got a strong modding community too ehe :3
A screenshot sourced from RimWorld's Steam page. The game displays numerous pawns and tiles drawn in a simplistic, utilitarian style. A base is both on fire and getting raided in a very hectic manner. A screenshot sourced from RimWorld's Steam page as part of the Odyssey DLC release. A herd of thrumbos are crossing a wintery map, and an alpha thrumbo is using its terror roar on a group of pawns. A screenshot of a RimWorld mod on the Steam Workshop. It's titled "Child Sized Armor" (the thumbnail, similarly, reads "CHILD-SIZED ARMOR" and displays child pawns in armor), and the description reads "There are two types of people on the rim; those who feel it's unethical to create equipment that promotes use of child soldiers, and those who feel it's unethical to send your child soldiers into battle without proper equipment." The next paragraph is cut off, but it says "This mod is for the se..."

A sketchy, rendered doodle of an alpha thrumbo, a creature from RimWorld's Odyssey DLC. It is a large, furry quadruped, white fur coating the top side of the animal. It has a large, gray horn on its forehead and little beady eyes reminiscent of the RimWorld pawn art style. In the back, there's a pinkish sketch of the alpha thrumbo, with long eyelashes here, galloping cutely. The background is a light grayish green and hosts some miscellaneous sparkles and details.

there's this TV head kick going on on Twitter and it took my wrist

[ #art ]
Two drawings, an illustration and a doodle, of a character with two television screens and a stereo speaker for a head. The two screens are placed against each other in a "profile" position, a geometric face-adjacent figure displayed on the screen facing towards the viewer. The speaker is placed between the screens and acts as a sort of "mouth." Below the TV head portion, the neck of the character connects to the body in the form of an extension cord with the outlets plugged in. The character is also wearing a beige dress shirt and a gray tie with TV remote buttons on it. On the leftmost illustration, a darker beige suit is held over the shoulder. On the rightmost doodle, the character is "speaking," almost excitedly. The background consists of pale gray linear static, stylistic splotches of blues and light purples, a stylistically stretched test card, and a "broken glass" look to it behind the head of the illustration. Below the illustration reads "- Chyron," the "-" symbol left there as a nod to typical subtitle formatting. Furthermore, there reads text, rendered to look like subtitles, on the leftmost side of the piece: "- Two screens, one speaker (no filter)," "- Supports subtitles," and "- That shit there a VELCRO® belt" on the top, and "- Also he has TV remote buttons buttons in his pants.
