Today is Finland's Independence Day, and I had to honour this half of my heritage with a jolly happy reindeer. #art #animalart #suomi #itsenäisyyspäivä #chubbychubbychubby ❤️🇫🇮

Just an #art of a hibernating dormouse. Kind of feel like hibernating myself. #drawing #dailysketch

I have set up the first five #dinosaur colouring pages for download on my Ko-Fi shop. Link is down below, and every support is very welcome. ko-fi.com/saralutra/shop Also the majestic pinecone Borealopelta is finished. #paleoart #sciart #illustration 🐡🦖🦕

I finished my newest colouring page for my Dinosaur colouring book. This time featuring Sinosauropteryx, a fuzzy little theropod with a fabulous striped tail. You can support my work on ko-fi.com/saralutra I will also make soon the first colouring pages available for download.

This one is Cryptid art but also nostalgic #Dinosaur art to me. The Arica Monster sightings described an animal reminiscent of the Raptors from Jurassic Park, or some Bird-Kangaroo-Lizard creature. I went more with Raptor for the sake of nostalgia.

Third one for #Cryptoctober, based on the list by @bestcryptids.bsky.social . Rock Apes were reported during the Vietnam War. They were described as monkey, ape, even hominidlike. Rock Apes had the habit of throwing rocks, hence the moniker. #cryptozoology #art #sketchbook

Second #drawing for #cryptoctober. Pach-an-a-ho is an alleged cryptid, looking like Gastornis, an extinct large flightless bird. There were claimed sightings in 1975, and also it's allegedly known to the Yakima tribe. The name is supposed to mean "crooked beak" or "rough looking bird" in Yakima.

First entry for #cryptoctober . I used the list by @bestcryptids.bsky.social as they feature lesser known #Cryptids. Like Cleary's Fish, a Deep-sea Fish claimed to have been witnessed by a diver in a dive bell. #cryptozoology #art #drawing

Drawing little Sqwuak-Sqwuaks for my #Dinosaur colouring book. And also inking a pinecone with attitude. #paleoart #sciart 🐡🦖🦕

I could have made a super clever caption or voiceover. But I am not feeling it. Just drawing #dinosaurs . #paleoart #sciart 🐡🦕🦖

Some #sketches from my visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum. I simply forgot to post them

Finally some fuzzy, fuzzy #Dinosaurs. And a little more progress on the colouring book. #paleoart #sciart 🐡

New Dinosaur for my colouring book. And I went a bit overboard with about anything concerning details. This time it's Baryonyx on the hunt for some fish. And Scheenista having a crappy day. #sciart #paleoart #dinosaurs 🐡 #digitalart You can support my work here: ko-fi.com/saralutra

I was in UK, and visited the Victoria and Albert Museum among other things. And I did some sketching in the museum. Here is the video and the sketch.

I am currently offering commissions. They start at 40€. In the video down below You can view my past commissions. I won't do anything Disney related, but OFMD, Sherlock Holmes, and various other fandoms are welcome. ko-fi.com/saralutra/co... #art #artcommissions #commissions

I updated a bit my #Bigfoot #illustration. Just adding some highlights and details. Currently, I am struggling a bit, and I need to be careful with my #art projects, because I feel a bit like deleting everything. #cryptozoology #cryptids #strugglingArtist

I am still thinking about making an #OtterFlag comic based on this video. But all on its own it could simply be the Gentlebun and Bunbeard. #BrainrottingCute #JustSaying youtu.be/okvsVbi0OU8?...

Let's face it, friends. The mind of an #otter is not made for fishing with a rod. Especially not Ed's. #OurFlagMeansDeath #OtterFlag #OFMD #Comic

If you see this, post a monster 👹

I found this little otter perfect to be turned into an #OFMD #OtterFlag meme. It was just missing a little co-captain. #OurFlagMeansDeath #GentleOtter #Gentlebeard (not really gentle right now.)

If You see this, post a horse 🐎 #art

I have a bit of a depressed down phase. Perfectly familiar to me. Just the whole "I am old, forgotten, unfashionable"-tango. And as it often the case, I got a request for an #artcommission by a repeat customer just today. So, a little glimmer. Also, You can commission me as well. (1/2)

Not quite feeling like sleeping, yet. Here is a little time lapse of me painting the little box of creatures.

I still have the otter memes, where I painted Stede and Ed over the otters. Because I found some of them oddly fitting to #ofmd or rather #OtterFlag. #OurFlagMeansDeath #ofmdFanart

And here is a view of the lid of the chest. I forgot about the four image limit. #art #sculpting #diy #dragon

I just finished the paint job for my little chest of Mythical Creatures. It was a bunch of dry brushing, with not really a clear colour concept in mind. #diy #sculpting #art #propmaking #airdryclay

I finished the #sculpting for my little project. It's going to be a prop for a series of art videos about mythical creatures from around the World. #airdryclay #clayart #diy

Had to share the full panel with Steve, Ed and Buttcrack-Frog. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath #OtterFlag #art-wip #comicpanel

I glorped up the lid of my treasure chest, and managed to sculpt a halfway decent face. It's been a while since I last did attempt sculpting human faces. #sculpture #art

Covered the lid of the box in air dry clay. It was a "just a bit of crafting" three hour affair. I forgot lunch and had a bit the hypoglycemic shakes after that. #sculpture #airdryclay #art #dragon

I glorped around with some air-dry clay. It's a fun thing, instead of constantly staring at a screen. #art #sculpting #sculpture

Some very high brow #art I am doing here.

Ed is showing Stede a new and novel kind of fishing. Of course, Stede is intrigued. #OFMD #OtterFlag #OurFlagMeansDeath #art-wip

I finally managed to finish this redrawing of my Iguanodon family for my #dinosaur #colouringBook. It's just annoying, when my #art goes at the pace of a glacier. #paleoart #sciart 🐡

My little #sashiko project is almost finished. Now I need to find some more clothes to mend... #embroidery #diy

I had to update the Ugly Fish artwork, and add the third, and most insignificant member of the leadership trio, that's currently running their Temu bought dictatorship. At least now, Stede can explain to Ed the use of snail forks. #OFMD #OtterFlag #GentleOtter #FCKTrump #FCKMusk #FCKVance

I got something. Of course with #otters. Because, of course. The biggest challenge to me was turning an already semi-aquatic mustelid into a merotter, not sea otter. #OFMD #OtterFlag

And here is the newest #OtterFlag #artwork. You know, #otters are not just pirates, but an important keystone species, that keeps their ecosystems healthy, by eating the diseased fish. Even if they don't look very tasty... #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath #digitalart

Before I snuggle up, here a little #art-wip. I wonder, what the little #OtterFlag Fuzzballs are up to... #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath #Gentlebeard #GentleOtter

I am looking for references of pretty salt and pepper shaker for an upcoming artwork.... And this is what found me...

"Oh, is that a shooting star?" Part of a large artwork dedicated to one of the best things in the history of the World. #Dinosaurs #art-wip #DigitalArt

Finished another #sashiko patch. And I must say, I am a bit addicted to stitching right now. #diy #embroidery #visibleMending

Post a movie from your birth year #filmsky Hey, Kids! Do you want to watch a movie with cuddly and cute bunnies going on an adventure?!

Wow, seems that it's been a while since I did draw something with wings. This sketch was inspired by feathers I found at Lamberti Church in Münster. There are kestrel nesting in the tower. And something must have happened to one of the juveniles. #art

QRP with something watery 💧🌊

Putting my Sashiko stitching to practical use, by mending one of my favourite shirts. #embroidery #sashiko #diy

"Yes! We totally tackled the Frankenstein Hand issue in our A.I. generated slop! Nothing to see here!!"

Two fuzzy little Crimebags just pulled the greatest heist in the history of Otterkind. And to top it, Ed can live out his biker persona on a pimped e-scooter, going about 50mph with a bunch of trouts (and Stede in tow). #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath #gentlebeard #CouplesGoals #OtterFlag
