You know something isn't right when you have to drag yourself across the floor, nails digging grooves into the wooden panels, just to sit yourself down and make progress on a zine 1 day before the deadline- and then repeat that for the next deadline

Ever since I realised that full illustrative work isn't for me (a landscape with subjects in front, telling a story in one snapshot) I've been enjoying making large prints a lot more in a 'graphic design' sort of way

It's also part of the reason why I stopped applying to zines

Duna still awaiting her moment of fame ๐Ÿ‘€
Maybe the temnocerans? (Including hirabami, it should be considered a bug too it has green blood)

MH Wilds Lagiacrus, Arkveld, Ajarakan and Nu Udra references have been added to the folder ๐Ÿ™Œ

I'm also planning to make Seikret refs, as well as updating Seregios with its new model. Any other monsters (not necessarily from Wilds) that I should consider?

An illustration of a mecynorrhina beetle. It is mainly black with three equally spaced yellow stripes on its thorax, and several more along its elytra. It has a white head and an incredibly long impressive red stubby horn ending it a short V shape.

A four panel comic where my frog sona opens the worm box and says โ€œletโ€™s get some worms for the frogsโ€, they pick up a particularly long worm and says โ€œwow thatโ€™s a really long wormโ€. The next panel looks at the worm in detail and thereโ€™s a big censored box over the middle of the worm because itโ€™s actually two worms. My frog sona looks down at the worms and says โ€œOhโ€ฆโ€ realising what they are seeing

Obviously the freaky worms were returned to the box to do whatever they were doing in peace ๐Ÿชฑ #comic
