I've been playing around with publisher since it's going to be eliminated soon, and decided to make one of these charts with the drawings I made for this year's Maystelid! It's the first time I get to make one of these and I'm very happy with the result <3

Maystelid 2026 Day 31 - Malay Weasel

Absolutely huge shoutout to @nookdae for putting together the event, and for dutifully spotlighting all the participants! Even if I didn't quite manage to do each day by the end, I had an insane amount of fun doing it and I love the ways it let me challenge myself. I'm really looking forward to keeping this energy alive!

Maystelid Day 31- Malay Weasel

Been a super fun month! It's been a long time since I actually finished art challenge like this

Maystelid day 31 - Malay weasel

[ID: digital drawing of a Malay weasel standing on its back legs and looking at the viewer. It stands among uncolored grasses, the scientific name, Mustela nudipes, is written next to it. It was drawn over the photo of a notebook page with some notes. End ID]

These ones have always looked like elegantly adorned, rich people attending some luxurious play, so I tried to convey that look, hehe.

AND THAT'S A WRAP!!! Thanks to everyone who followed these :D, I wasn't sure I could finish it, but I did and I don't feel tired at all! This was very fun!!

Maystelid days 28, 29 and 30 - Megalenhydris barbaricina, Japanese badger and Nilgiri marten

[ID: digital drawings of various mustelids done over the photos of notebook pages with scarce notes.

First one is a sketch of a Sardinian river otter, a giant species that lived in Sardinia, an island in the Mediterranean sea. The specimen is drawing simming down to the bottom of the sea to look for food. The scientific name, Megalenhydris barbaricina, is written besides it. The sketch was made with a purple pen.

The second one features a Japanese badger standing. It was colored bright yellow with dark purple legs and face markings. It's surrounded by grass and short plants; its scientific name, Meles anakuma, is written above.

The third one is a Nilgiri marten coming down a big tree, this one was colored yellow and dark purple too. The scientific name, Martes gwatkinsii, was written besides it. End ID]

Posting these together. The last one might be posted later today as I can only draw in the evening.

[ID: digital drawing of a northern river otter swimming to the right. It's been colored blue with a pale green underbelly, its legs and tail are darker and its scientific name, Lontra canadensis, is written above. There are bubbles coming from it.

I rushed a commission and my hand hurt too much to draw, so I'm a little behind, but here's a gummy shark!
