Another small Condor oil painting. "Ugly" vulture heads are fun to paint!

Digital painting modeled after a close-up of famous painting The Meeting on The Turret Stairs by Frederic William Burton, except it's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Ser Duncan has his bleeding face against Prince Baelor's armor-clad arm.

*saying affirmations in the mirror* I am a big horse. I am a beautiful horse with powerful legs. I am fifteen hands tall. No one can catch me because of my powerful horse legs and wild nature. I have all the apples I want

A digital illustration of the world’s largest terrestrial arthropod, the Coconut Crab. It’s a beefy articulated tank of a beast: heavy and strong-looking claws and long legs emerging from under a roundish domed carapace, with a vaguely comical head segment and two long antennae amid all that. Colored in shades of brown and blue with linear striations along all its limbs and spots on its carapace. A speech balloon with a very long tail that wraps around one of the crab’s legs reads ‘maybe it will happen today’. You should look up some coconut crab images soon.

Digital art of a buff, naked white man from behind in a powerful stance, holding a giant flower in front of him with a vinelike stem that wraps around his lower body.

Okay I love snow so much but even I was getting a little tired of it. So I drew this. Spoiler because butts.

In the centre is a digital painting of Cyrus, a muscular Black man with long red dreadlocks and beard, kissing Niko, a light-skinned slim man with long wavy navy hair, underwater. They are literally by a bright sun above the water. Text above and below read, "How I Approach Lighting, by Oliver Niko," on a painterly pink and blue background.

✨ How I Approach Lighting ✨

Lighting is often praised as the highlight of my work and is something I love dearly. Continue onto the thread to read about how I've reached this point and what I consider to achieve such lighting!

Yes please!

A blackwater photo of Chtenopteryx squid. It has translucent skin, but it is covered in brilliant orange chromatophores, which completely cover the mantle, most of the head, the upper arms and lower fins. Its arms and tentacles are neatly spread out. Its fins have fin ribs at regular intervals, making it look like a comb or a ruffle chip.

I will never get over how beautiful the ribbed fins of Chtenopteryx are.

Truly, they are nature's perfect ruffle chips.

Might have to make a side account for fan art for the first or second time in my life.

Happy birthday!

A light grey colored flamingo chick standing on one foot with its little wings outspread. It is standing on a nest mound and an adult is standing right behind it with one foot on either side of the chick. The adult has a green band on its leg with the number 31 in white. The tail end of another flamingo can be seen in the background, blurred, as it sits on another nest mound.

A wee flamingo chick practicing its newfound ability to balance on one foot, with mom watching closely 🥰🦩

photo of a close up of a beech tree with thin dried cream-colored leaves still attached. a thin branch is going horizontally across the photo and has a infected carpenter ant attached with fine hairs of ophiocordyceps fungi coming out from the head.

close up photo of the infected ant silhouetted against a light background. the ant has branching fungi protruding downwards from the head making up 4 "points" to borrow some antler terminology.

found this glorious Ophiocordyceps kimflemingiae on my hike yesterday! it was one of the best branching fruiting bodies I've seen.

Friendly reminder that I’m editing people’s books for free rn!! Which maybe sounds too good to be true, but I promise, it IS true!

Full disclosure: my editorial business is very, very, very new. But I’m a Poynter certified editor and I have a college degree in writing, so I’m qualified! 😊

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

Thank you! :D

Digital art of a pale woman in an orange gown looking out a stone tower window. Her face is contorted by a ring of large, brown mushrooms surrounding one tired eye, and mycelium hair streams down from her head and the window.

A woman wearing a white hijab is riding a flying European Roller (bird). The colours of the bird are turquoise, brown, and a purble-ish blue. The background is gold.

The "European" Roller is a migratory bird.
One can find it for exampe in Syria or Afghanistan.

Only humans build borders.
No human is illegal.

That's usually the one thing I do share, art I like and indie stuff I think needs more eyes. 🎨 But reviews of movies and stuff, eh, I figure if people want those they'll go to places for reviews.
