I am *obsessed* with Antscan's detailed 3D ants. I wish there were data like these for all critters! #ScienceAdviser @science.org www.science.org/content/arti... πŸ§ͺ 🐜

A drawing of a fowldyr character that belongs to Eraili
Fowldyr are a closed species created by Stasanie (me)

A drawing of a winged deer-like creature with a pelt in shades of cream, gold, and brown. His wings are lined with jade coloured feathers with gilded edges. Around his neck is a thick green rope from which many jade beads and tassels hang. He stands in a shallow pond with red lily pads scattered across the surface. Swaying red willow branches streak across the canvas.

Danny & Ross commissioned this scene depicting a tender moment between their dragons - a pothos inspired dragon and a beetle inspired dragon. The larger dragon gently caresses her lady in waiting, putting weight on the leaf to draw her closer.

A commission for bardybirdy featuring the OC Errai. A drawing of a dragon posed against a starry blue night sky. The dragon is mostly dark shades of blue and purple with golden accents. She has large feathered wings and a curved crystal horn. Her neck curls around a comet, her golden claws gently caressing the comet's tail. The radiant light of the comet casts serpentine rays that mimic the stylized flow of her mane.

A digital drawing of a pink deer in a stylized forest scene. The grass is glowing shades of yellow, orange, and soft reds. The bushes in the distance are blue, and the night sky is speckled with stars. A pink fawn looks curiously at a glowing star that has fallen from the sky.

Huge Star Trek shot update! Fixed all sorts of issues, added some cool VFX to the scrubbing action, and fixed the lighting angles. High-sample render, working on the SFX now! Enjoy, and suggestions are welcome!

I remember my siblings and I laughing at this ad because it looked like he’s shooting a beam out of a bar of soap. DC’s attempts at aping Image were somehow more sad than Marvel’s.

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

Two widescreen comic panels showing scenes from samurai in battle; the top one green and yellow spearmen fight red and brown swordsmen; the bottom one in a village, huts aflame, horses gallop through, a samurai in red and green swings his spear at a rifleman and swordsman.

It really is lovely.

At first I thought the composition was strange with so much emphasis on the empty sky. But then I thought about the subject and the sky probably thematically represents God, vast above the giant cathedral making it feel small.
