Neurodivergent artist with strong opinions on birds. I mostly draw animals. Sometimes I’ll even write a little. Who knows today’s fun fact: a lion’s roar can be heard from five miles away! πŸ©·πŸ’œπŸ’™β™ΎοΈπŸ¦‹πŸ–€πŸ©ΆπŸ€πŸ’œ

We recently cleaned off the camera on our bird feeder and over the past couple of days it’s caught some delightful images! #birds

A couple weekends ago I had the opportunity to attend a bird-banding event at a local wildlife reserve. Here are a couple of the birds I saw before my hands got too cold to take any more photographs #birds

a dominant coat color, I’m assuming at least one of Cromarty’s parents had that appearance. :D

There’s a feasible genetic explanation for this! Since self and longhair are recessive genes, it’s likely her parents were both heterozygous carriers with Aa alleles for tabby and Ll alleles for coat length. Black cats with the tabby gene appear gray or brown with black stripes; since black is (1/2)

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.

this gorgeous giant ichneumon wasp showed up to my sociology class today!! unfortunately enrollment deadlines have long since passed so I had to scoop her up and release her back outside

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

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 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.

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
