A female Greene’s giant ichneumon wasp perched on a black backpack. She has long yellow legs, an orange abdomen with black-outlined yellow stripes, and an ovipositor so long that it passes the edge of the image.

A blue jay perched at a bird feeder, having lost all the feathers on its head in the molting process.

Possibly my new favorite visitor to the bird feeder: a mid-molt monstrosity of a blue jay. This was an absolutely delightful notification to receive #bird

A cartoonish drawing of a horse looking directly at the β€˜camera’ and sticking out its tongue; the angle makes its nose look gigantic.

These cats are from Lackadaisy! and if I remember correctly the team on YouTube posted an update rather recently that more animation was in progress (but not coming super soon, given that hand-drawn animation takes a very long time); I’ve been rereading the comic while I wait :))

Nine armored wolves in a row. The first is a large, tall wolf with black fur and black armor. The second is smaller and rounder, with dusky-brown fur, hazel eyes, and bronze armor. The third is a huge gray-and-white wolf with protruding fangs, ice-blue eyes, and dark silver armor. The fourth is a white wolf with blue-gray markings and silver armor that stands out against his orange eyes. The fifth is a brown wolf, facing the camera with alert amber eyes and wearing copper armor. The sixth is an old, pale gray wolf with green eyes and a crown built into his silver armor. The sixth is a small, wiry reddish-brown wolf with pale amber eyes and ruby-red armor. The fifth is spotted in black, white and ginger, with golden armor and green eyes. The sixth is a striped wolf with a mane down her back and pinkish-copper armor that matches her eyes. Each armor set is engraved with a symbol I made up for the breed, being in order an arrow-shaped pine tree, a heart, three claw marks, a snowflake, a four-leaf clover, a bone, an infinity sign, a fire, and a smile-like stripe.

Finally completed my goal of taming and armoring every type of wolf in Minecraft (while my brother beats the game in every possible manner, lol!). It took 70+ wolves, but here’s a drawing of the nine species representatives.

An oil painting of eleven eyes from different people arranged in a grid. Off to the side you can somewhat see the photo reference used.

An oil painting of a fish with blue-green and white scales and a red line on its throat, looking upward in front of pink-flowered plants. A couple five-petaled scarlet flowers add color to the sides of the painting.

Here are the last two pieces for my painting class, the eyes and the fish. (water-soluble oil paints) #art #queerArtist #disabledArtist

Woman with short brownish-blonde hair and heterochromia (left eye blue, right eye brown). She has scars on her nose and arms, and wears an orange tank top and jean shorts.

Wings of Fire still has a big place in my heart
The Erth Dragons is mostly about the dragons
That’s pretty much all I’ve got off the top of my head. Mythic xenofiction is my favorite genre but it’s sadly lacking in dragons

An oil painting of an Abyssinian cat looking at the camera. It has green eyes, and there is vibrant blue lighting in its pelt.

Finished this painting I’ve been working on in class for several weeks (unfortunately it did not photograph well; looks much better in person) #art #cat #cats #QueerArtist #DisabledArtist #painting

A very quick colored digital doodle of Miette (who I’ve assumed is a dilute tortoiseshell colorpoint from her profile picture) clinging to the back of a bucking horse with  brown coat and a black mane. The background is gray with a starburst of yellow.

Well, it’s not worth twenty-eight dollars, but here’s what I came up with in approximately four and a half minutes (as much as I’d love to make a full painting I am short on both time and motivation tonight)

A graphite sketch of the head and neck of a dragon with a long, horselike snout and a smile. It has three layers of scales β€” plated on its back, fishlike on its sides and smooth underbelly scales β€” and segmented horns like that of a gazelle. Some of the shading is done with stippling to enhance the scale effect.

A dragon in vibrant shades of purple, wings spread and face curling inward with its jaws open. The background is splattered in gray, black and white; the color scheme is meant to subtly emulate the bisexual and asexual flags.

Set in a dark green forest, a brown bear wearing a battle helmet looks off to the side while a crow flies over its head. The sketch layer is still visible as it was a quickly-made piece, but it’s subtle under all the layers of dark forest shading. Leaves fall through the frame.

Haven’t done a ton of stuff lately due to art block and being tired from school but here are a couple quick phone backgrounds I made recently(one for me, one for my dad)

Given that introvert and extrovert are less defined by one’s desire to be around people and more by whether one gets energy through social time (extroverts) or alone time (introverts), a person who likes social interaction but needs alone time to recharge is likely simply an outgoing introvert!

Four cartoony doodled cats sit gathered around a bunch of hexagons in a honeycomb shape. One says β€œIt’s growing”, and the rest each reply β€œOh crap”. The image is labeled β€œthe Andro-meow-da Strain”.

Four cartoony doodled cats sit gathered around a bunch of hexagons in a honeycomb shape. One says β€œIt’s growing”, and the rest each reply β€œOh crap”. The image is labeled β€œthe Andro-meow-da Strain”.

A fake book cover. A honeycomb of shiny gray hexagons with space for four missing segments, each containing a cat version of a major character: Hall is represented by aa angular brown cat with black markings and amber eyes, in front of a red background; Stone is a pale gray bicolor cat with yellow eyes in front of a yellow background; Burton is a slim ginger spotted tabby with green eyes in front of a green background; and Leavitt is represented by a dark gray Persian-type cat with long fur and tired orange eyes on a blue background. There are multiple sketches: a diagram of the lungs, a map of the cone-shaped laboratory, some connected hexagons, and the gear shape of the growing Andromeda microbe. The book is titled β€œThe Andro-meow-da Strain”.

I read The Andromeda Strain and immediately saw the pun potential, so here’s a joke and a full art piece based on said joke because my ADHD said we weren’t done yet
