So a brush ended up severely testing my patience, and I failed that test spectacularly. I’m sure the brush failed in part because I did something wrong in my regular care of it, but then again, it was behaving erratically from the beginning. I thought it was just me.

I’ve been shaky with painting this past month, and I am so sorry but I feel if I take things slow, I won’t barrel into a big mistake. Between the old masking fluid pen suddenly going wrong and this brush betrayal, I’m not feeling very confident. Regardless, I will get over it, and things will get done.

Here’s some progress on the current Aequis custom, all the same. Watercolors.

In honor of vulture awareness day, let me ask you a question.

Do you love vultures?

You should.

Here’s why:

1, They are simultaneously the most majestic, and the most f*cking derpy of birbs. Observe -

2. THEY’RE SO FUCKING BADASS. We all know that they eat dead things. Eww, right? Wrong. They’re capable of digesting fucking rabies, cholera, hundreds of strains of bacteria that would straight up kill your ass given the chance. They deserve ALL of the respect, but they don’t get any, because ‘eww they eat dead things’. 

3. THEY ARE FUCKING AMAZING AT WHAT THEY DO - Some of the highest flying birds ever recorded, with amazing eyesight and smell. Vultures are highly specialised - yes, that means they sometimes have bald heads. So what? People are all over sphinx cats and those semi-hairless dogs.

4. If you think they’re ugly, well, look at these precious babs and tell me you still don’t feel anything:

I have more reasons, but, look, I’ll just get straight to the point: 

THEY’RE GOING EXTINCT, AND MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW.

Populations of some vultures have fallen more than 90% in the last 20 years, and that’s scary as fuck. Reasons for this range from livestock carcasses being contaminated with certain drugs, to poachers killing them off because vultures give them away. But whatever the reasons, they’re dying off fast, and we need to act before it’s too late. We need to help protect them and conserve them as much if not more than some of the ‘cuter’ endangered creatures. 

So what can you do? Here are some useful links if you want to learn more:

Life doesn’t end at 23. 30 isn’t old. Fetishising youth as the ultimate desirable characteristic in a person is actively harmful to both young and old people. Some of us lost our teenage years to abuse and recovery, and can only begin living when we’re at a different life stage.  Literally knock it off, the lot of you.

A bundle package re-post of all the FF7 crossovers I did from inktober, for easier reblogging if that was an issue before. Oh, well, minus the GriffonsXChocobo crossover; I realized that tumblr only accepts 10 images max per post.

Hello everyone! I’ve got a new adoptable up for grabs, probably the last one until the new year! Raya is a shapeshifting insectoid dragon: a jewel-nymph, or Draconis arthroderma.    Her kind sport an exoskeleton of shining, iridescent scales over highly flexible muscles and a skeleton made up mostly of cartilage. Their strange jointed hides can move to rearrange most of their body into any shape they please (with practice) as long as it’s the same in mass. Some parts of their bodies (like their horns, wings, and claws) are too rigid to change the shape of, so those will exist in any form they take.  These dragons are one of the smaller species, about the size of an average human, and favor a diet of fish and other small prey. They make their homes in rich environments and can sometimes be seen perched on limbs of trees that overhang the water, using their heavy claws for a secure hold as they stretch down to strike at passing fish. It’s presumed that the glinting of their scales attracts their meals. Some of them may be seen sporting a long mane of gossamer fibers, often indicating status, as a dragon who can afford the inconvenience clearly holds a territory rich enough that they don’t need to go far to hunt.  In years past, nymphs who were curious about the rise of humankind learned to take their shapes, and the first ones encountered were said to be treated as ambassadors of the gods, for how brightly their hides shine.  ________________________ I had a ton of fun designing this character and figuring out how she works! (bonus thanks to my roommate for helping me design her clothing!) For now, I enjoy how she came out so much that I’m considering jewel-nymphs a new closed species, so you may be seeing more of them in the future as I develop them further! ________________________ Onto the adoption rules! - A purchased design becomes your character to do with as you please. - Feel free to make any changes to it yourself! (including but not limited to: name, colors, scars/piercings/tattoos, gender etc) - You are required to credit me for the original artwork itself and may not claim it as your own. - Trading or reselling the design is allowed, but please do not sell for any higher than what you originally purchased for. ***(Unless you are selling it with additional artwork, then please feel free to add the value of the additional art to the selling price.) - While it’s not required, I’d appreciate it a lot if you let me know that you’re selling/trading it, and who the design goes to! *** ORIGINAL SPECIES SPECIFICS *** - If you purchase a design for one of my original or closed species, I would appreciate it if you credit the species design to me. - Please do not use any of my original species in commercial works such as advertising, novels, webcomics, etc. _______________________ THIS DESIGN HAS BEEN CLAIMED!!! Thank you so much for your interest!
