I can’t believe I almost missed out on posting a squid for the squid queens birthday. Pls take this pastel bobtail even tho they aren’t technically squid 🧪🦑🐙🐡

Photo of an octopus sculpture on a solid black background. The octopus balances on three arms, the others are extended outward and curling in on themselves. The artist's logo is placed above, centered in the middle. The octopus is artfully painted in a purple, black and gold shimmering nebula theme. The logo is in gold and depicts an interwoven octogram in a gold gradient style, the top and bottom point of the octogram are connected in an S-shape, in reference to the artist's initial, an abstract crown shape surrounds the octogram. Underneath the symbol it says SAHASA in all caps, underneath that a tiny notch or four pointed star.

"Carina" the Nebula Octopus 🐙🌌 Sculpture

A true labor of love with long twirly arms, ~1000 hand sculpted suckers and extensive Stardust themed paintwork.

A closeup image of our hand, featuring the escapee in question. She is a small brown lizard, very soggy, pinched between my fingers and a leaf of vegetation, looking solefully to the upper left corner as she laments her life choices.

Caught an escapee mourning gecko swimming in my fish tank. Unknown to me, she was hiding in the auto fish feeder and I spooked her out of it when I approached the aquarium. Back into gay baby jail you go!

A torus? Are you mad? He earth is *clearly* a hyper dimensional Möbius strip that's been looped around every celestial body, from front to back. Everyone knows that!

Fish is cute

The state of things is really sad. I'm just happy with my crumbs, but maybe someday someone will serve us a whole cookie.

Why the World Has to Ignore David Peters and ReptileEvolution.com — Tetrapod Zoology And so it is that I must once more write about the great eternal menace of our age: David Peters.

A reminder that David Peters is a serial purveyor of nonsense, that he shouldn't be taken seriously, and that he is toxic and leading a highly negative campaign of constant criticism. ResearchGate have been alerted to this issue but have yet to take action. Please see... tetzoo.com/blog/2020/7/...

Im always on the lookout for cute or fun stuff with aro or ace characters in it. And hey, at least it'll keep the boredom at bay

I'll give that a try!

An Octopus laqueus cruising in a tidepool

I will never understand people's weird reactions to animals because idk when I see animals in nature, in zoos, or just in documentaries, I kinda just love them all. Creatures are great, why would you not like them??? They're all so interesting, even the everyday garden birds. Even ants!!

I wish i knew what crushing felt like. Maybe I'm too aro/ace for this

argonaut/paper nautilus illustrated in a bright orange color against a black background. its “shell” is colored with a white to green gradient, and you can see the body of the octopus faintly inside.

argonaut! i’m having fun drawing these different cephalopods :)

Went to the gender clinic to get my pronouns rotated, my trans-mission checked, and my gender fluid changed

Here's party themed Mieridduryn (pronunciation is like mee airy theerin so it's not quite "merry")

Everything i like is in my room, why would i leave it

a brady bunch 9-frame, with Sarah in the center sitting in her car with her lizard on her left boob on the way to the vet. She's giving a SHRUG expression. From top to bottom left to right, we have 8 pieces of art surrounding her: 1) A giant squid sinking into the abyss in grayscale made in ink 2) a man thing with heart eyes made with ink and colored pencil, 3) , a histioteuthis aka strawberry squid in a gradient blue background made with a mix of ink and digitally colored 4) digital illustration of a crustacrean hardcore band, with a spider crab on the drums and shrimp singing his little face off, and a rock lobster staring dead-eyed ahead playing the sea-foam green telecaster, 5) a digitally made shrimp, crossing one set of arms, and holding up a cigarette in one hand and a pink martini in the other, wearing sunglasses and saying "The bastards don't quit but neither do i" 6) A ink and colored pencil doodle of man-thing holding a polaroid photo of mothman's butt, signed xoxo, mothman. You can't tell it's man-thing, it's just man-thing's hand shown, but if you were flipping through my whole sketchbook you'd know because they're boyfriends 7) ink drawing of two reef squid, digitally colored 8) An ink and colored pencil drawing of mothman, in his little red panties (lmao) shining a flashlight at himself seductively in the inky blackness

Alriiight 2024's not over yet, but here's my #ArtVsArtist for the year 🦑

Okay, but can I still use "I'm harmless, look at me, it's my birthday, cmon, I'm just a little birthday boi here"? Or is that one also off the table now too?

I need to know the secret to a bigger chest. Is it murder? It's totally murder. Who do I kill? Can I just randomly kill someone and get like, the boobs as a thank you from Kr'tha the Blood God of Killing You Now And Also Estrogen? Can I turn in some work i did previously instead of a whole new one?

i feel like you don't need a gender to be a wizard

Octopus, squid and cuttlefish arms evolved to ‘taste’ different compounds Octopus suckers can taste a variety of greasy, sticky molecules, while squid and cuttlefish suckers detect bitter compounds.

“But octopus evolution led them to develop a taste for greasy things, while squid and cuttlefish evolution tweaked the brain proteins to detect bitter compounds, the researchers discovered”.
