It took quite a while but it’s finally done ! Again, still the biologist, still the owl husband, but I like them ! Also featuring the hand mushrooms, the four beasts of the new covers, books everywhere, starfishes everywhere and our weird lighthouse lens.
Going back to my roots
Welcome back The Biologist
Here's a 30 sec timelapse (art post link) ! these are always fun to make.
I've posted a longer 4 minute one over on Patreon :)
Lighting doesn’t have to be so complicated. If you memorize basic lighting, you can use that as a starting point for a bunch of different styles! Join the lazy club and use shortcuts like I do 😌 I have a video that explains everything ~ watch it here!
Normandy's Ascent
Three years ago I first drew this girl, now it's time for an updated version (my profile pic as well!). I'm quite satisfied with the progress, considering how busy I currently am. OC is Birkavs, "jsscraftz" used to be my art account but I still identify with this signature and plan on using it in the future.
THE SHEEP DETECTIVES (2026) dir. Kyle Balda
Condolences for me something something waah waaah I miss my bestie (she is perfectly fine and thriving, just busy with ArtFight and I'm being dramatic) @vals-stuff-and-things baaah waaah gone too soon
The UK had two heatwaves in the span of like four weeks and another one is coming already. As I was melting into my chair like a forgotten wax figurine, my brain turned to some sun/heat related HC for the protoss I headcanon the protoss specifically feed on UV radiation. It's mentioned various times that they feed on light, although seemingly not all light, as the specification tends to be about stars. So there must be something in the light they emit that's special to the protoss that a regular light source can't give them, and my brain gravitated to UV radiation I do think they evolved to process it so much better than humans anyway, since it's their primary source of nutrition and all, so surely they have a sophisticated way to deal with it. But that doesn't mean huge excess of UV light isn't harmful, just like huge excess of food isn't healthy for humans
The Khalai are primarily blue or purple, since these colours are best for absorbing UV light. How mixed and dark their skin is can depend on region and the strength of sunlight it gets. Aiur is hot and sunny, and even their adapted metabolism cannot deal with all the light they get, so protoss naturally evolved scales as extra protection against it. Aiur gets so much sun that it doesn't really matter a portion of it gets reflected off of the scales
But it matters to the Nerazim, who live on a shadow world. Their population is quickly losing scales, so the little sunlight the planet gets can get through their skin with no issue. They're also mostly purple, since it's the best shade to absorb all that delicious UV. Shakuras is also covered in cold deserts and is a rather dry place, so many Nerazim have deep grooves/wrinkles in their skin to better hold onto moisture
The Tal'darim took it in a new direction, their bodies getting rid of a lot of it's pigment, so even more light can get through their skin, because Slayn is similarly shrouded to Shakuras. Slayn isn't much hotter than Shakuras, but is more humid, so Tal'darim skin is smoother than that of the Nerazim. It's also very rare for them to be born with scales now, they simply spent so many generations living on this planet that this adaptation got removed from their gene pool.
Their nerve cords did the same thing. The other two protoss subspecies just have darker cords so UV light gets quickly absorbed by the outer layer of the skin covering them, so the inner layer of the very sensitive organs doesn't get burned and further damaged by radiation. But Slayn gets so little sunlight the Tal'darim began losing pigmentation in them, so their bodies get to have all the tiny little bit of sunrays it can get and nourish them in such a hostile environment. Which works on Slayn, but becomes an issue on planets where sunlight is plentiful, since their cords (and also skin) now lacks the pigment that'd otherwise protect them from excess UV light and they can get burned pretty easily compared to the Khalai or Nerazim
Ravenloft 🩸 3rd foiled sticker design of my Curse of Strahd campaign
Can't imagine how awkward that elevator ride was.
The vibes I was aiming for:
two colorful dinos! 🌈
little critters i drew for the Cuteasaur digital charity zine!
thinking about statues of Grace being built all around Erid years after his passing so he can continue to watch over Eridians as they sleep

Last Song
YONAKA - Get Out
Discovered by accident, but going to stay on a loop for a while.
Ordinary Kid - Call Me Back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjqGAFyVmKc Blame @vals-stuff-and-things for this!!!
Current Obsession
StarCraft, Cyberpunk2077 and original settings, on and on.
I'd also add peanut crisps to the list.
Currently Reading
Southern Reach trilogy (or should I say quadrilogy now?). I'm on the second book and I love the haunting, unsettling ambience.
The Illuminae Files - testing the format that spoke to me (mixed-media dossier), but it's too early to say if I like it.
The Witcher: Blood of Elves - I'm incredibly slow, but this is really enjoyable.
Aside from that, some driver's license books, because I'm currently doing the course.
Currently Working On
Learning how to adapt my abilities and navigate myself in Clip Studio Paint, graphic projects for history exhibition and diorama, personal OC related projects (for me and my friends). I sadly don't have or can't show any examples yet, but this WIP.
Currently Wearing
Black t-shirt, sweatpants and fuzzy socks in pierogi pattern, all paired with a cat hairclip.
Last Search
"Strawberry jam recipe cooking time" and "fancy alt style high heels" for the OC fashion reference
Favourite Flower
Apple blossoms!

Okay my guys, my gals, my nonbinary pals, Artfight is in a month and ofc I've fucked around the whole year and totally procrastinated on all the ref sheets I gotta make for my OCs. So time to crunch them all into a single month. And then draw all the OCs into them because I will die if I have to slap old art onto a new ref. Why not. This is fine
So the to do list for the refs is:
Starcraft, preferably terran and protoss variants
Avatar (2009)
Avatar (ATLA)
Cyberpunk
Cool cool that's a ref sheet a week + the OC I need to slap on in. Why did I do this to myself
Hnnngnghg okay here we go
The idea here is to make it resemble the SC2 campaign selection screen while utilising design effects from both SC1 and SC2 in it's layout
Wheeze-
I am done for today I think. Good progress.
Almost done now. It's just come colour corrections after this and then it's good to go
