Of all the mediums, pencil gives the best, easiest and fastest results for me. I really need to embrace it and start working from pencil to whatever, but blank paper give me so much anxiety ๐Ÿ™ˆ #ArtIsHard

Trying out new style. Never really liked chibi-ish stylization until recently. Turns out it's really fun drawing this way ๐Ÿ’œ #artsky #humanmadeart #pencilsketch

A dark seabird stands on the edge of a cliff with wings raised, head tilted up, and a striking electric-blue throat and eye. Photographed in La Jolla, California.

How cool is that electric-blue throat patch on this Brandtโ€™s Cormorant! Unreal.

First ever character model in Blender completed โœ”
It's not perfect and I do want to work on it more some time later, especially try to rig and animate it, but I really need some rest. Iirc I've been working on this one for about 25 hours total ๐Ÿ˜ด #blender3d #humanmadeart #artistsonbsky

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

In a comic strip panel, person in a red shirt walks through a sunlit forest. The text says "Sometimes I go looking for a tiny part of the universe." "This part only takes up as much space as: half an apple, a salt shaker, or 2 ping pong balls." Each of these items is shown. Galaxies and stars swirl as the text says "But somehow, in an unfathomably huge universe," and then there's a complex mess of forest leaves, with one tiny Wilson's warbler in one corner, and the text says "this one tiny part". There's a close up of the warbler, blazing yellow against a sparkly yellow background, and the text says "can fill up my whole heart."

Another comic from this past year. Sometimes I'm in awe about how incredibly small birds can be.

An original digital illustration of a pink necked green pigeon perching on a branch full of lush green leaves and a small pink blossom. The pigeon has its back to the viewer with its head looking to the left. In shape and proportions itโ€™s very similar to most other birds in the pigeon family, sort of plump and rounded. The colouring is multicoloured fading one into the other. The tail goes from a kind of dark blue black at the top of the feathers to light blue and then a yellowish green then to a kind of light mint green. The wings are a slightly darker tone of this mint green and itโ€™s neck feathers transition back to light blue then a light mauve wrapping round the head and going back to light blue again. It has a startling pinkish purple eye with dark pupil and a grey blue beak. The leg feathers are various shades of green. The background of the illustration is made up of light and dark green inky splash marks.

We've got a lovely colourful bird for day 15 of #ArtAdventCalendar the Pink-necked Green Pigeon. I love anything and everything pigeon, I hope you do to!

Illustration of a raven in its cozy nest den inside of a tree, rain visible outside. It's reading a book, and there's a cracker for snacking nearby. There are also a few 'trinkets' in view (paperclips, beads, etc) that the raven collected.

It's so hard trying to learn a new language when you're a phylology and paleography nerd...
Yesterday at breakfast I got so hyperfocused on one kanji, I realized I got sucked into Oracle Bone Scripts and the early script history of China and Japan only at 2am. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Kahn Noonien Singh, sitting next to Lt. Marla McGivers, speaks to Captain Kirk (who we see from behind, in his dress uniform) while he raises a glass of some lavender colored liquor. The caption has been crudely edited and now reads: "Here's to feelin' bad all the time." (The original caption: "here's to feelin' good all the time")

From Star Trek TOS The Original Series, Season 1, Episode 22, "Space Seed"

Happened just this morning to me. The fella came to my windowsill when I was feeding pigies and when I offered him some cat wet food (since I don't have any animal product in my house), he just looked at me so judgingly I still feel horrible๐Ÿ˜ญ
