Do you not enjoy writing? Is it possible that this is burnout and you just need to take a step back for a bit?
I hope you figure things out :c whatever you end up doing, do it for your own happiness. 💜

Thank you! :D 💜💜 I've just got a bedroom and workspace so I make do with my space and fill it up with colour.

A photo, vertical orientation, of a just-emerged cicada still clinging to its shed nymphal skin. The cicada is clinging to three vertical grass stems, and out of focus greenery is in the background. The cicada is mostly brown/orange, but there are a few pale green highlights on the wing veins, indicating it still has its teneral, or just-molted colors, and will darken as the new exoskeleton hardens.

A newly-emerged cicada, I think Platypedia sp., in the Pryor Mountains of Montana a week ago. It still has a bit of its teneral (just-molted) coloration - note the turquoise highlights on the wing veins - but the overall colors will darken as the exoskeleton hardens. #insects 🐙🌿📷

!! They're so big! What a cutie 💜💜

I need to renovate but this is my cozy space! Drawing tablet/sketchbook goes in the empty space in the first picture, references go up on the monitor. The whole thing is supervised by my toads (out of view) c: 💜
(Not pictured: the clutter I moved to take these pictures)

!! That's wonderful! I used to have scorpions, they're wonderful pets. I've been wanting to set up an isopod terrarium. 💜

That's incredible! The detail is really impressive. I love the gentle gradient as well. 💜

!! I love Guzma 💜💜 big bad buggy boy who's secretly a softie.

They're adorable! I love their floral tail 💜

Your workspace is gorgeous! 💜 It's so green and alive. Who lives in your terrariums?

Pixel art of a blooming yellow dandelion, its stem arched to greet the sun. It has two forked leaves branching off from the base, and an unbloomed head that twists to the right in the background. It's a very simple scene. The background is green that fades to a soft yellow from gentle sunlight.

I don't do a lot of pixel art, but I did this last year c: 💜
I love dandelions. They're wild, resilient, and beautiful. They greet each day with vibrant joy, and carry their dreams for the next generation on the wind. 🌼

I wish I lived closer 😭💜

Incredible progress!! I'd love to learn watercolour, it's a gorgeous medium. 💜

I'm so jealous!! I wish there was a bug convention near me. 💜

This is such an incredibly pretty artwork, I love the eyelashes and the colours you used! It's absolutely vibrant. 💜

This is such a unique artwork, I really love it. The colours are gorgeous and I really like the design of the foxes! I love the way you used white highlights, and their eyes are lovely. 💜

I'm here with a friend

!! They look amazing! 💜 Origami is so gorgeous.

A top view photo of a white and orange garden jumping spider sitting on a leaf, turning its head upward to look straight at the camera. It is mostly a bright orange mottled heavily with a creamy white, and covered in fine white hairs. Its four big black eyes right in the middle of its squarish head, reflecting the light around it. Its front legs are lifted with how it looks upward, and its extremely fuzzy pedipalps fold over its chelicerae.

A front view photo of the same spider peeking from behind the leaf it sat on previously, it is obscured in shadow.

It hid after I took the first photo, I'm sorry little fella I didn't know you were camera shy xD

I keep meaning to make one but I've got too many ideas cx I don't know what species to settle on (I'm already planning on having them be a hybrid but it's hard figuring out what to throw in there)

This is so cute c: 💜

They're so cute! I love the tail designs 💜💜

You're incredible, I've been wanting to draw magnapinna but haven't been very confident since it's so difficult to find visuals of. Thank you for this! 💜💜

A sea monster version of my character Hysteria. She is pale and serpentine with a dark belly of gray and faded reds. She has jagged fins and bioluminescent patches all over her body.

Oh, the reckoning begins."

An illustration of a bee fly! It’s a very fuzzy fly with a long proboscis and big dark eyes. It has two semi transparent veined wings. It is posed against a light purple background.

who let bee flies be so cute 🌸

Thank you! :D 💜💜

A digital art piece of a golden yellow snail. Their luminous golden eyes and spiral shell light up their surroundings with a soft yellow light. They're looking at the viewer with a thoughtful and calm expression, and their pale beige-yellow skin shines with lemon and orange hued iridescence where the light hits it. They are perched on top of a reddish-purple charcoal burner mushroom, speckled with lighter markings. It has a pale cream stalk, and is peeking out from yellowed autumn grass. In the background, tall maple trees in the peak of their autumn colours shade the forest floor. The sky is a fading orange, the tail end of a sunset in October. The scene is warm and bright, as though the snail is offering hope despite the season's slow decay into winter.

Helped a snail cross the road and wanted to draw one 💜🐌
This luminous little friend is hanging out on a charcoal burner mushroom! 🍄🍂

My pet gar that I donated to Shedd Aquarium would recognize me and swim over to say hi when I visited her exhibit ❤️🐠

A rare hybrid gar, I raised her since she was 2 inches long, and had to re-home her when I moved to Chicago. I was happy I could visit her in her new home!
