May's drawing is for the Javan rhino.

The Javan rhino has been listed as critically endangered on IUCN Red list since 2019, and only have approximately 50 individuals left now. They are estimated to live around forty years, and are mostly solitary creatures — only really coming together to mate, or for the mother to raise her calf. They once lived all over Southeast Asia, but the remaining individuals are currently in Ujung Kulon National Park located in Indonesia. A large part of the Javan rhino population were killed off by trophy hunters, and also hunted as agricultural pests. Many were also killed for their horns in order to use them in Traditional Asian Medicine. Many rhinos are still hunted for their horns, although now more for a symbol of status and wealth rather then medicine. Habitat loss, poaching, and potential inbreeding due to their low numbers still pose a large threat to the remaining Javan rhinos. They are also in danger from potential natural disasters. Anak Krakatau, a volcanic island not to far from the park, could wipe out a large portion of life the protected park.

You can donate to the International Rhino Foundation at https://rhinos.org/donate/ to help save the Javan rhino.

For diabetes stuff I was thinking CGM but a pump is also cool

I can add a CGM.

I realized when I looked it up that I accidentally confused a CGM with an insulin pump in my last answer since I hadn’t heard the term CGM before.

I might only be able to add a plain white CGM though since even though I can add more items, I hit a couple limits on the picrew so I have to go about it certain ways. So probably I’ll add the CGM option as another set of arms

April's drawing is for the Rice's Whale.

The Rice’s Whale is a medium-sized baleen whale that lives in the Gulf of Mexico. They are estimated to only have around 50 individuals left and was listed as critically endangered by the IUCN Red List in 2021, the same year that they were deemed their own distinct species. They are often struck by boats, a lot of the time as they sleep at the surface of the water. They can also become entangled in marine debris and fishing nets, leading them to drown. Water and noise pollution also plays a large role in their decline. Water pollution, often from oil spills, joined by climate change negatively affects their food sources’ populations. Noise pollution interferes with the whale’s vocalizations and makes it drastically harder for them to communicate with each other. Most of the noise coming from boats and oil drilling. Trump’s desire for more oil has become a massive threat to the Rice’s whale. He has used the “God Squad” to allow oil companies to bypass the protections put in place to protect endangered species in the gulf that has been there for decades. This group is a government panel that was created in 1978 to create exemptions to Endangered Species Act protections if it was deemed profitable enough. The Rice’s whale are not the only ones affected by this, though. Many endangered sea turtles, manta rays, coral, and more share those waters, and they are the ones paying the price for Trump’s greed.

You can donate to Oceana at oceana.org to help save the Rice's whale and all the others living within the gulf.

Bunch of hair texture practice and ideas to narrow down and eventually add a chunk to my picrew when I have a chance!

[mushmallowy]

I’m planning on doodling more hairstyle ideas but most likely I won’t be able to work on my picrew update until summer so I’m aiming for hopefully finishing and posting the update by end of May or mid June

Crumple zone - Wikipedia

[librarychair]

The amount of safety features incorporated into modern cars is unreal. I've seen crashes where the car flipped over and the occupant only had minor injuries. My dad was t-boned by someone speeding off the highway and walked away with a broken arm. The car was completely smashed except for the passenger compartment, which was curtained on all sides with airbags. That one manufacturer has decided they are exempt from implementing all these advancements disgusting and terrifying

When I was going through driver's ed I was taught that the steering column would stab through your chest if you crashed head on and that was just the way it was. We do not want to go back, not even a little

[foone]

The point of car safety features is that the car is supposed to die in an accident so you don't have to. Your car should be a pile of smoking rubble after an accident, and you should be fine.

I totaled my first car. Like, the car itself just stopped where the windshield met the dashboard. Ahead of that point, there was no more car. It was gone.

Me? I had some really spectacular bruises and a lil friction burn on my nose from where Mr. Airbag and Ms. Glasses had a disagreement. That's it. That's it.

I was driving a little tiny coupe and went more or less head-on with a pickup truck. The entire engine and hood of my car was twisted rubble that was not connected to the rest of the car afterward. I sat down on the verge, about twenty or thirty feet from the accident, while I waited for the cops and EMTs to work their way through the traffic backup to get to us, and found that I was sitting beside one of the headlights of my car. The whole entire headlight, bulb and reflector and cover and frame and all.

All I had were bruises and that little friction burn. That's it.

Crumple zones save lives. So do seatbelts and airbags; half the bruising was the exact shape of my seatbelt in livid crimson and black on my torso. It was and remains the most insanely intense bruising I have ever experienced in my life. BUT IT WAS JUST BRUISING!! Unpleasant, sure, but eminently survivable and didn't even require much treatment beyond not wearing a bra for a few days. But all the force that created that spectacular bruising was force that wasn't flinging me through the windshield or impaling me on the steering column. My car crumpled and crushed and dissolved but it held me safe and secure and protected.

Crumple zones save lives. You do not want your car to look undamaged after the accident, because that means it made like a Newton's Cradle and passed every bit of the impact straight through to your soft and highly crushable body.

[hellenhighwater]

This is not my usual content, but as a result of my job, I see the aftermath of many extremely fatal car crashes. And I will add, just to emphasize: your car is the product of thousands of engineers and decades of research aimed towards the goal of protecting your body in its seat inside the car. However: this relies, significantly, on your body staying in its seat. Your seatbelt is crucially important in keeping you alive. With your seatbelt, you are locked into the safest place in your vehicle. Without your seatbelt, you are a soft projectile in a rapidly collapsing metal structure. Wear your seatbelt.

And the primary lesson? REGULATIONS ARE WRITTEN IN BLOOD.

Your blood. Your ancestors' blood. Your friends' blood. Your families blood.

Those who want to abolish regulations? Fuck them.

March's monthly drawing is for the South China tigers.

The South China tiger, also known as the Amoy tiger or the Xiamen tiger, is one of the smallest tiger species. They once roamed throughout Southern China, but are now functionally extinct in the wild. Their remaining population is less then 200 individuals who are scattered throughout multiple Chinese zoos. South China tigers had kept a healthy population up until the 1950s where many tigers were hunted down in an “anti-pest” campaign. They were listed as critically endangered by the IUCN Red list in 1996, and hunting was finally banned by the Chinese government in 1979. The hunting, combined with habitat loss from an increase in human population and the demand of tiger parts for traditional medicine, they disappeared from the wild. The biggest threat to the South China tigers now is inbreeding. The remaining South China tigers have all come from the same six tigers that were caught from the wild between 1958 and 1970. Their descendants suffer from multiple birth defects and health issues caused by the lack of genetic diversity.

You can donate to China Development Brief at https://chinadevelopmentbrief.org/ngos/save-chinas-tigers/ to help save the South China tiger.

Butterflies and Bees

I started this before episode 8 and now had a ton of motivation to finish this and eventually make more digital circus art too, so expect to see more fanart soon XD (Probably with spoiler tags)

I kind of wonder if Caine likes bees because Kinger showed them to him while working on Caine

Doodled a new character and now I love her so meet Spunk! She may be the easiest and so far most fun character I’ve made in a while. Eventually decided to get rid of her mouth by like the next doodles.

This is my favorite doodle of her ⬆️

Might animate her more.

[mushmallowy]

Next in my drawings of animal characters as human is @panic-and-chaos’ cat character Lint. The main two things she said for her human form is to give her a tutu and to make her a kid for age.

I had a lot of fun drawing her ringlets and her grin. The pose gave me a bit of trouble but I think the drawing turned out good. I worked on way too much shading compared to the last two drawings XD

[mushmallowy]

Another animation assignment this time featuring Kensie and Pat.

Still very rough but I plan on fixing some things and cleaning it up when I have more time
