Thinking of that mountain lion they shot in Idaho in 2016 that had another jaw growing out of its head.

Colored a sketch of Kieran that I got from @liliviccreations.bsky.social ♥️

I think she looks like a protag in a comic book.

I fear I may be cooking with this design

Orange and black is such an iconic color duo

Would anyone like a quick design done on one of my bases? They’re $30.

Examples of previous designs:

It’s been a good month for badgers.

My designs are a bit musty.

(Get it, since they’re mustelids? I’ll show myself out.)

What a perfect mug

Listening to Moby Dick and it’s making me think of HER

A+ animals. Peary caribou are also very friend-shaped.

I think it would be so fun to just get paid to develop and share my own personal characters and stories. But working in the field of science communication, while doing little illustrations of obscure animals, or giving tours at a museum or zoo would be fantastic as well.

I prefer Firewatch, for its isolated setting, layered characters, and devastating narrative.

Answered a similar one the other day where my answer was a springtail. But I think I would really like a giant earwig pet too. I bet they would purr when you pet them.

I’m a fan of stabilizing tools within programs. It makes thinner lines easier to work with. When I’m sketching, I like to use thicker brushes to get the “feel” of an image first, before coming in with a smaller brush for lining.

A beautiful portrait of Hysteria done by the wonderful @/raudegil.bsky.social

Several things, but big ones are creating more engaging poses and blending colors in a way that doesn’t muddy them. I also just want to improve my appreciation of my own art. I enjoy the process of creation, but I generally dislike final results.

Sorry, I’m really not a fan of VivziePop.

My wife, Hysteria. She was murdered for being an outsider, and then returned to life. She now hunts the mountain and forests as a revenant. She feeds on the life energy and flesh of anyone unlucky enough to stumble across her path. She also has alternate lore for the Lighthouse AU she is in.

I have a guinea pig, a cat, and several ancient dubia roaches.

I’ve primarily been a self-employed artist, but I’ve also volunteered/interned in various agricultural and science communication roles. Mainly just an artist though 😅

It’s you!

I suck at math but, man, can I identify uncommon animals. I saw this pic out of the corner of my eye and was like “oh, a kodkod!”
