A black shorthaired cat with wide yellow eyes is standing in the center of a cardboard ring cut and painted to look like a ring of fire

SOMEONE managed to get out of his brand new tank last night and was thankfully found quickly, having gotten himself stuck climbing a door... thankfully no injuries and duct tape should stop a repeat performance until the new lock gets here 🤦‍♂️

Managed a surprisingly nice shot of one of my favorite visitors to my garden from the car window! They seem to be enjoying the rare break in the heatwave as much as i am (And my purple coneflower!)

Finally trimmed back my -extremely- overgrown jungle tank today, it always looks so crisp after a waterchange!

Today I... built and rewrapped some perches for my local ambassador raptors (the box was for a great horned owl who hates everyone) and patted one magnificent unit of a lad 💖
And ate a significant portion of my weight in sushi
A good saturday i think

even MORE #Murderbot because i've been storing it all up and ive been playing with a different, easier to draw style to play with so I can draw the entire second half of Network Effect eventually
three figures of Murderbot, all in blue to black loose fit outfits, one action pose kneeling on one knee looking up like it's getting up, one simple standing profile view, and one shoulder up portrait of it watching a translucent screen with ART, a geometric assortment of shapes with triangular eyes a collection of sketchy figure and portrait drawings of Secunit/Murderbot

mostly brought to you because I have so much fun thinking about how to visually represent ART and all its feed shenanigans <3

Secunit - a long limbed figure in loose fitting blue and black clothing slumps in a chair with it's hands in it's pockets staring at floating transparent screens floating around it's head, one of which says sanctuary moon Secunit slumps in a chair with it's hands in it's pockets staring at floating transparent screens floating around it's head as an angular collection of grey shapes in vaguely technical style with two triangular eyes looking at secunit creeps into the frame from the right

Today we went on an adventure when this sad beautiful lil guy flopped into my porch while i was working on a new build! Thankfully it was NOT bird flu or heat stroke and he is now in good hands and predicted to make a full recovery quickly 💜💜

and for some extra fun... the OLDEST original image of this character from all the way back in the deviantart days of yore..

it's becoming a tradition for me to revisit this character/piece every couple years and I always really enjoy seeing the progress made! (Even though the 2020 piece still remains my favorite..)
art circa 2022 the same sinuous lionfish mermaid is shown hovering right under the surface of calm waters, eyes closed and long brown hair drifting to the surface. her sinuous striped serpentine body curls gently into the distant water art circa 2020 - the same serpentine mermaid with long flowing fins and lionfish coloring swims intently to the left of frame, arms and fins out with her long serpentine sinuous body flowing behind into the distant water

as always, one day late for #Mermay but it was so fun updating this character for the first time in a couple years to see my progress that I don't even care 💜
a mermaid with flowing fins and stripes like a lionfish swims sinuously through the water, her striped fish body is long and tapers like a snake ending in a pale rounded fin

I love Mensa in All Systems Red, she really is doing her best to keep her aplomb with a LOT of -very- unexpected curveballs being launched at her through the whole trip/book

Turning pose studies into #Murderbot has been the most fun I've have in a good while and I'm learning while I do!!
a sketchy figure study of a person jumping in the air with arms and legs curled up, back arced out a sketchy figure study of murderbot attacking an armored figure, clinging to it with it's legs and hitting the secunit in the head with it's elbow A sketchy figure study of Secunit with a bored expression carrying a gleeful Rathi over it's shoulder, holding onto his legs as he exuberantly smiles and gestures at someone out of frame from over Murderbot's shoulder

The secret to getting yourself to do art studies, study the faceclaim for your Blorbo(Vico Ortiz for #Murderbot in this case)
#TMBD
A series of sketchy, inky studies of Vico Ortiz's face but with added tech augments to make them more murderbot looking A series of sketchy, inky studies of Vico Ortiz's face but with added tech augments to make them more murderbot looking

finally actually doing some studies and happy with how these ones turned out!
You know how it goes, started as a Green Knight color study- couldn't tell you what happened 😌

Been working on designs for Martha Wells #Raksura characters because the descriptions of the character's two forms are so fun to puzzle out from the scattered descriptions, and also I'm just obsessed with Moon and Jade's Girlboss for Malewife dynamic
two figures sit on the floor at a low table with tea, the figure on the left is a Raksuran queen, Jade, in arbora form- a blue lizardlike humanoid form with blue scales, a spikey mane and a spaded tail covered in silver stripes. Across from her is Moon, a mostly human looking man with a long tunic, darker skin and black wavy hair. She is holding tea and looking slyly at him and he is leaning forward avidly looking at her, both are smiling. a sketchy pair of humanoid draconic figures with wings and tails. They are covered in scales and spikey manes, looking and moving left, Jade in the front is crouched over as if climbing over an obstacle
