A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

This is something about "AI" that I have a hard time putting into words, but creators just love the WORK. It's just fun. Even when it's hard. All the thinking, and all the detail work, and all the struggle, it makes the things we make, I don't know... have weight and value for us.
If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Usually Christmas is when I do see any orders of these so..... -bangs pots and pans-
Since it's the holiday season, figured I'd share my Guardian Druid Legion artifact werebear designs that are available as shirts, stickers, etc. on Redbubble!
Link below since it's a silly long link.

Thumbnailing comic pages is helpful but also sometimes I dislike it because it's trying to tell me that I have to spread my stuff out even more

I do wish there was just a better way to make people see this shit but the fact that companies choose that platform to interact with their fandom (or bots who tf knows), and some ppl still being convinced that "any algo is better than no algo so I can gain more followers" makes this really hard :/
I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.
Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

After sitting on the idea for months I maybe have finally refined my next Heth challenge concept.
If only it weren't so cold. I don't want my hands to emerge from the blankets to draw.

OH OH OH, I am so ready for this!!
I did whole tail languages doodles
Mine are rather simple and just based off of their pre existing demon designs but I like to make them decently thick so that they really give off the prehensile aspect!
Also BG3's tiefling ridges altered my brain chemistry

Shared this in Discord, so what the heck, sharing it here too. From 2007! I think I had received my first drawing tablet and had not yet learned how layers worked in Photoshop Elements 2.0. :')
I've also been going by Tao online since at least that long ago! (horrifying)
