Comm for icepunk on Flight Rising! I’ve never done this kind of lighting before but I think it turned out well!
#art #drawing #OCart #kemonomimi
A digital painting commission of icepunk’s OC Morgan. She is opening a bright blue rift as blue outlines of hyenas snarl at each other in the background. Morgan’s expression is tense, there are tears streaming down her face.

Drew the OC Nolos for AX0 on Flight Rising!
#art #commission #ocart
A digital painting of Nolos, a white, black, purple, and turquoise worm-like creature. Her head is close to the viewer and the bottom of the image, and her body tightly slithers behind her, with her tail visible in the distance at the top of the image. Nolos is wearing a big toothy grin.

A pencil sketch of a ridgeback dragon from the pet sim game Flight Rising. It is robotic in style. It is sitting down with one wing outstretched, with the inner details mostly erased. There is a very small pearlcatcher dragon sitting on a platform, welding on the ridgeback’s forehead.

A fullbody portrait of a storch from the game signalis, as seen from my dream. She is wearing a large loose white t-shirt, brown shorts, and a tired dopey smile. She is not wearing her bullet-resistant plating, and her arms are white instead of the usual black.

Micropterix is such an underrated moth genus. Shiny, little snoot, bright spunky hairdo. Perfect fursona material

Here’s a couple more, from genus Hypoponera. I think they belong to H. opacior and H. ragusai, respectively

(I’m following an Antwiki key so idk how accurate these are)

Antenna combs are so cool. Here’s one I’m looking at from a red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) major :3

#microscopy #entomology #insect #ants
A close-up of a red imported fire ant’s foreleg under a microscope. The tibia (thicker leg part) has an extension with spines, that comes together with the first tarsal segment (thinner leg part) to form a comb that can groom the ant’s antennae.

At least one good update has come out of Florida… got this e-mail today :)
A screenshot of an e-mail from the Tropical Audubon Society. It reads “Thursday, April 24, 2025”, shows a picture of concerned residents and conservation organizations gathering at Miami City Hall to voice their opposition to proposed changes to the city’s tree ordinance, then says “Miami withdraws its Terrible Tree Proposal - Big Win for Wildlife and People, too!”
