Best part about OCs is making intricate lore while trying to sleep and never writing it down

It’s very windy out right now and my upstairs neighbor has a wind chime. Absolutely loving it.

I'm working on a piece for a zine and I'm honestly so proud of how it's turning out. It's nearly done and I just can't stop admiring it.

A photo from my archives of our last Snowy Owl irruption of 2012. We haven't had a big irruption since, which is probably for the best. I'm afraid of the impacts on these birds if we were to have another one now. #birds #owls #nature

Pheasant Coucal, Atherton Tablelands, Queensland, Australia #birds #nature

This is a fancy, diurnal, clear-winged moth sipping liquid from a leaf. Moths in this family often resemble stinging insects, but this species didn't get the memo. It went for jungle air-shrimp instead. #Inverts #MothMonday (Euryphrissa sp.) Tatama National Park, Colombia

swallowtail and chokecherry / colored pencil on 14x17 Duralar / 2023 Here we have a swallowtail butterfly (Papilio multicaudata) throughout multiple stages of its life - egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and imago - perched on a branch of its host plant, the chokecherry tree (Prunus virginiana)!

It seems that one of my hobbies is never leaving this Fiery-throated Hummingbird painting alone. Just when I think it’s done I get another wacky idea to make it better. That’s ok, hobbies are supposed to fun right? #Birds #BirdArt #Art #BirdWatching

“Through the clover meadow” A flock of sparrows runs through a meadow of clover. Among them flew a sparrow ridden by KOKEDAMACHAN. KOKEDAMAHCHAN and his friends are happily playing with their forest friends today. #Illustration #feedbackwelcome

Ill have new, better art soon but in the meantime: Im finishing up a graphic design course and one of the assignments was to draw an object via various mediums, so here are some onions

Whales are well known for using echolocation, and in modern times, humans have developed sonar technology which functions using similar principles. Continued in comments… Acoustic location, 14” x 11”, oil on aluminum #oilpainting #wildlifeart #sciart #killerwhales #echolocation #navalsonar #🐡

One more for the Year of the Snake, plus #TBT. It's one of my favorite photos I've ever taken, from ten years ago in Borneo, a gorgeous little snake called an eight-striped kukri (Oligodon octolineatus). I have a large print of it on my home office wall and it makes me happy to see every day. 🐙 📷 🐍

A White-browed Coucal looking particularly awesome! This species is often shy, preferring to be deep in vegetation. 📍Kigali, Rwanda. #Birds #Wildlife #NaturePhotography 🪶

“Bringing you happiness.” KOKEDAMACHAN and his lizard went to find a four-leaf clover. When they find a clover, they want to give it to their friend TANECHAN. #Illustration

“A voice echoing in the sea” The sea turtle suddenly heard a strange voice in the sea. It was the first time he had ever heard such a voice, but it was nostalgic and resonated directly within his heart. #Illustration

There are TAGERI in the neighboring fields. They walk on the soil plowed by the tiller, looking for insects in the soil. It is a beautiful bird whose wings glow seven colors in the sunlight. #birdphotography

Kites are my mom’s favorite bird so this piece is for her🖤

Older painting showing a group of Pachyrhinosaurus wading through some water. This was the first time I really dove into learning about lenses and referencing wildlife photography for my paleoart, and I feel it was a big breakthrough for defining my approach! #paleoart #paleosky #pachyrhinosaurus

Frogs🌿✨

Been focused on working on the hummer paintings these days. This one is the Green-throated mountain gem (Lampornis viridipallens) male and female. #Birds #BirdArt #Art #birds #hummingbirds

“Rising toward the light.” A pod of whales rises toward the surface of the sea. Their ascent resembles a giant column of water. KOKEDAMA joins the water column and rises to the surface. #Illustration

『森の元気』 The reason I started photographing wild birds is because I found sparrows cute when I looked at them carefully. Sparrows are a common bird that I see every day, but when I take a closer look at them, I find the intricate patterns on their feathers to be wonderful. #Illustration

『大好きな友達』 春の草原で遊ぶコケダマちゃん達。奥にはその風景を優しく見つめる猫がいます。猫は彼らと共通の言葉を持っていませんが、見ているだけで楽しいのでよくこの草原に来て眺めているのです。 A cat gazing with kind eyes at a small creature in a meadow. He always finds them when he comes to this meadow, but since he doesn't understand their language, he just gazes at them. #Illustration

My dnd character, Emrys, just adopted 1,001 spider hatchlings. Look at their envoy. So cute!

New here! Excited to see how it goes. One of my favorite pieces from last year

The Fulvous Owl (Strix fulvescens) painting. Thought to be a regional endemic by BirdLife International. Cornell states that some authorities consider the Fulvous Owl to be a subspecies of the NA Barred Owl. I do see a lot of similarities with both species. #owls #BirdArt #Birds #birdwatching

Ida (Darwinius masillae) is born. This is an illustration I did for a book about Darwinius, back in 2011. Water color and colored pencil on board 14.5″ x 21.3″ (37 x 54 cm) Original sold

Selective Sanctuary • gouache & watercolor on paper For a group show at 301 Gallery in collaboration with Friends of the Columbia Gorge, who gave artists access to lands they steward to inspire their work for the show; in this case, a habitat site for the endangered western pond turtle.

Can’t stop admiring a frog I drew as part of a zine piece I’m working on. He’s not even the main feature, just a little guy hanging out in the corner, but I’m so proud of how he turned out. Now I just have to make sure the main focus looks just as good. orz

Posted late because of the island wide blackout but HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

A happy new year to one and all! The Black-capped Flycatcher (Empidonax atriceps) painting Digital painting can be an orgy of revisiting a work simply because it can be easy to do so. This is the first painting of 2025 to be revisited in that fun way. #Birds #BirdArt #flycatchers #CostaRica

You know, I somehow forgot that the New Year means a bunch of fireworks going off.
