Was stressed with irl jobrelated stuff.
I see there are quite a lot of new people here.
And I feel the need to state this:

This is my private blog, where I post mostly fish and nonfandom related personal art-things!

Nothing else!
Thank you!

this #sturgeonsaturday is brought to you by the cutest creature in existence~ a tiny white sturgeon

yesterday with the help of citizen scientists we tagged & took minimally invasive samples from a bunch of lil sturgies to assess population stressors ~ so great to see these untagged juveniles! 🧪🌎👩🏻‍🔬🌐

Gonna be silent for a bit.
Depending on the german elections on the 23rd I will be silent for a long bit.
I do what I can! But im getting too tired of factual EVIL winning everywhere.
Hope you understand.

QRP with someone watery (literally all my someones)

8 February 2025 Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez Christie’s, New York Dear Nicole and Sebastian, We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christie’s. Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them. Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companies’ mass theft of human artists’ work. We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction. Yours sincerely, The undersigned artists

🔴CALLING ALL ARTISTS🔴

Christie's NYC is planning an AI art auction expected to bring in over $600,000 to creators who've used models trained on copyrighted material from non-consenting artists.

If you object to this, please sign and share this open letter.

Replaying Abzu for the fifth time, and thought of @solomonrdavid.bsky.social

To be fair, Titus (as you know), some sturgeon “fly” without wings 😮😎👍

drawing of a long Kuhli Loach fish

Sadly dont have much to offer this #sundayfishsketch , but have a Loach at least!

My inaugural… Skeet? Front-facing gar! This is Garnet, the best fish in the world.

Received this FINtastic handmade #GARtwork @JPOPstudios, inspired by our #Garology episode @Ologies!!!

My snooty housemates approve!

In February I’ll be following this prompt list I made for #FishyFeb So I can continue to share my fish art every day! Everyone is welcome to join - I tried to make the prompts as open as possible. All art and photography can be entered (no AI). Have fun! ❤️

Working most Sundays there is little chance for me but doodling the #Sundayfishsketch. But as I decided learning to sketch this year - at least I started.
On stone. Of course.
Will colour it during the week.

A pixel art image of a fish. The top of its body is brown, the bottom is grey. The stomach area is light grey. The fins have yellow and black details. The tail is red.

One more slithering shape for #SundayFishSketch in honor of the upcoming #LunarNewYear #YearOfTheSnake. It's 日本鰻 / 白鰻 / 二ホンウナギ / Anguilla japonica! On English-speaking menus as "unagi" and of course, also among #TaiwanFishes #台灣魚類 #臺灣魚類 species. 新年快樂!🦑🐡🧪

Ahh okay! I was getting worried that something had happened!
All the more reason to draw, so Rene can look at plenty great fish from all of us when the busyness ceises

Take a breather with appropriately-named (and comical) Forward-facing Gar:

Every time I think you can not possibly make me love gar any more, you share a video/image like this and proove me wrong.

I really needed this -- and maybe you do, too

Thanks, @solomonrdavid.bsky.social. Thanks, Forward-facing gar.

Wingspan? Birds. Wyrmspan? Dragons. Finspan? Well, it’s about fish. And it rules. Every game’s better down where it’s wetter — take it from Charlie

We had @charlietheel.bsky.social dive into @stonemaiergames.com's Finspan. @elizhargrave.bsky.social's modern classic continues to flourish on the table.

An illustration of a Spotted Tinselfish. The fish is diamond shaped, with the body being nearly as deep as it is long. The fine, elongated scales are silvery/metallic in color, and the fish has a very large eye. 5 long spines are in front of the dorsal fin, and 2 spines are in front of the anal fin. The tail fin has black tips.

An artist palette covered in colors resembling the color and pattern of a palette surgeonfish

Keeping this #sundayfishsketch simple. A wet palette.
Can someone tell me if I am just missing the fishsketch themes? I didnt see any posts!

Among the most agile of flying creatures, dragonflies have evolved to perform quick aerial maneuvers both to attract mates and to catch prey midair.

Now, researchers have documented and explained a unique stunt the insects perform so quickly most people never see it. scim.ag/40mKKBI

ENJOY a relaxing swim with some local leeches!

Yes, LEECHES🪱🪱🪱
#Leechnado

These leeches were observed in a roadside stream entering Green Bay, Wisconsin, during Northern Pike fieldwork.

These are predatory leeches, not parasitic blood-sucking leeches. They feed on other small invertebrates!

The shark doctor is in! Ask me anything!

Have questions about sharks? About marine biology, or ocean conservation? About me? About…anything?

For the next couple of hours, ask me anything!

Please share, and tag friends who have questions.
