The people have spoken!  More Scutums.  A few pictures ago we showed the ultragreen back (aka the scutum) section of Augochlora pura indicating that with the right mojo you could tell this species from the similarish genus Augochlorella with but a glance.  And.  We did not show you a picture of the scuticular characteristics of an Augochlorella because no on had taken that picture.  So, today Elizabeth Panner has obliged the thousands of people who have been clamoring for just that picture.  So, let's look at this Augoclamorella picture and compare (use the little mid-line trough on the scutum as reference, it points to the head (why a bee has this line is mysterious, its not used hardly at all as a character to separate one species from another in bee taxonomy and it just might be the case that all species have this line (someone idle should look at all the bee species in the world to verify this))).  Alright, so, in contrast to the uniform plain of equallishly spaced pits in A.p., A.a. starts out in quite a similar pitted pattern, but as you move towards the head you see the pits begin to coalesce, lapping one another until, in their lapping frenzy, they devolve into a glittering moonscape of cratered metallic topography.  So, now you know that you need only glance at the always-easy-to-find-under-the-microscope back of a small green bee to smugly self-validate your superiority to the rest of the human race.  You do have to eliminate equally green Agapostemon and Augochloropsis, but you already know how to do that.

I just received your Atelier zine and I love it! I wanted to thank you for sending all the little extras with it. I thought is was really well put together. I especially love the chocobro notebook. It arrived just in time to tide me over between sketchbooks. Thank you!

You’re most welcome, my dear! <333

Re: Riku as a Female Character - I often think about how Kairi would be loved as a male character. I bet that Kairi forgetting about Sora would be glorified as Tragic Feels as opposed to a condemnation of her character.

You know what? You’re absolutely right.

physics

The reason I first got interested in learning physics is because I had a magic system for one of my novels I wanted to suscribe to the laws of physics as well as it could

For the art ask, 15 and 25?

How long does an average piece take you to complete?

It depends, but most of the time i finish stuff in one day, unless i’m not really feeling like it.

Do you like to draw in silence, or with music?

I can’t do anything in silence, so i have LOTS of music downloaded, but i still skip lots of songs to listen what i really want to ww most of the time i end up losing like 15 minutes just trying to pick a song to start with
