Peacock dogs are renowned for their beauty and grace, but owning one is not for the faint of heart. In addition to frequent grooming, peacock dogs must have near-constant validation to keep their delicate egos from wilting, particularly during the emotionally-difficult molting season.

Do you remember the first RANDOM* shiny Pokemon you've found?

Yes (tell me :V)

I think so? Maybe? (tell me anyway :V)

No :(

I've never found a random shiny

I don't play pokemon

*by random i mean non-scripted, not hunting for it actively, you're just wandering around in any game and you just found it somewhere

(tell me the game too, not just the pokemon :V)

It’s a balmy 60-something degrees outside today, but it’s still wintertime and there’s snow in the forecast for Tuesday so it’s appropriate to post a snow-clad reindeer, right? Some of you must be getting wintery weather somewhere out there…

(this was a custom request from last year’s Kickstarter – a Svalbard reindeer!)

'' We were tasked to not upset the balance of this broken world. Getting rid of the scourge that attempts to corrupt what's left of it, yet... it keeps popping back. It doesnt stop, it just keeps growing... and growing. Dragons dont stop coming, and our villages keep being raided as soon as the Cataclyism crawls... and crawls. Silently creeping towards the earth's end. ''

((WIP)) Been drawing my version of a more paleo accurate "velociraptor" Falin from that one gag panel in Dunmeshi haha

Literally my two special interests in one image lmao dfgsdfg it was honestly amazing seeing it in the anime as well, AND they even gave her feathers! But it based on the inaccurate Jurassic Park designs!! D: So wanted to make my own hehe

as folke's blade released a flood of warm crimson onto the ground beneath, juhani only stood by and watched, endlessly curious about his friend.

despite the callous act - folke's tears ran, just like the blood which pooled in front of him.

The Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository is live!

You can find it at: https://www.animal-photo-references.com!

Here's how this repository works: all photos were taken by me, a human, at zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, and other facilities with animals in human care. There is no AI involved in the photo editing or creation and there never will be. Right now there's 56 species on the site; my catalog has over 300 and I will be uploading the rest of them as fast as I can.

Artists creating derivative or transformative works (without AI) have blanket permission to use these references. Yes, even for work you're going to sell.

All other usage/reproduction requires permission, but assume I'm friendly and please do ask! That's educators, researchers, the media, people who need images for a school presentation, etc. This is just to retain copyright/control in case they're scraped/reused unethically - it doesn't meant I don't want folk to have access! So please do reach out via the contact form on the repository website, I don't bite and I'm most likely going to say yes.

Please don't repost the repository photos to your own blogs: I've created @animalphotorefs as a dedicated blog to share photos from the site, and of course I'll reblog a lot of it here! That again just helps with retaining copyright and sourcing of the images. If you really want to repost some for a specific purpose, please just ask me first!

Also, folks, this project has no funding. It's just me and my camera.

There will never be a paywall on the site - I believe resources like this absolutely must be free for everyone to access. So please, please, please support the repository if you use it. Want sneak peeks at photos, cute videos I take, or to help choose what I photograph and what gets posted first? You can do that through Patreon (and there's a free trial on the most interactive tier!) If you'd like to just drop a tip, I've also set up a Ko-Fi.

I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the repository.

To whet your thirst for cute photos, here's an Indian rhinoceros contemplating a goose.
