just to kick off this little art dump account, here's some slightly old doodles!

a lot of my work either needs a watermark or needs its watermark updated, so until i have the time to do that, i won't be posting much more. but i hope this will suffice!

Hedgehog Awareness Week - Day 2

Fact of the day: European hedgehogs, while also cute AF, should be left to their wild devices. Unlike their African pygmy counterparts, these lil nuggets are not pets. But! Sometimes these spikemouses need help, and there are programs in many European countries, in Britain, and in Scandinavian countries to help these little critters out when injured hedgies are found.

These hedgies don’t always get the love their house-dwelling cousins do, so let’s take a moment to be aware of the cute.

Hedgehog to be aware of today: @xxsparksxx fosters little European hedgies and gets them in ship shape to be released back into the wild. Find her adventures in fostering here.

Hedgehog Awareness Week - Day 5

These next couple of days of HAW will focus on the Paraechinus genus, so sit back and enjoy the diverse cuteness of this genus!

Today let’s look at the hedgies that have inspired microbiology. Kinda.

Fact(s) of the day: The Indian hedgehog (Paraechinus micropus, not to be confused with the Indian long-eared hedgehog (Hemiechinus collaris) we met a couple of days ago) has its own special protein. Well, it has a protein named after it; Indian hedgehog homolog (IHH). This protein, like the two other members of the hedgehog protein family, was found in fruit flies, but a scientist close to my heart named them all after hedgies. IHH’s siblings are desert hedgehog (DHH) and sonic hedgehog (SHH). Who says science can’t be fun?

Hello, I am here to regulate the growth & development of cartilaginous cells. No? Not me?

*LE SHOCK*

The IRL desert hedgehog is the smallest hedgehog, measuring 14 - 28 cm long, and weighing 280 - 510 g.

*pauses to be extra cute*

Brandt's hedgehog has light needles, allowing it to be a very speedy hedge! Sonic indeed.

On your marks

Get set

Hedgehog Awareness Week - Day 3

Fact of the day: Long-eared hedgies - which live in Central Asia and some countries in the Middle East (there’s also a species of long-eared hedgehogs distinct to India!) - protect crops by eating harmful little creepy-crawlies like termites and, get this - scorpions. These are some hardcore hedgies.

Bonus fact! They look perpetually surprised, which is absurdly adorable.

Some of them are darker!

Hedgehog Awareness Week - Day 4

Fact of the day: Hugh’s hedgehog (aka the central Chinese hedgehog) and the Daurian hedgehog are a pair of species that make up the genus are a little-known species Mesechinus. They live in very different environments - open grasslands versus forests (though some Daurians live in steppes like their central Chinese siblings) - and sadly both are threatened (though the Daurian hedgehogs’ status is contested).

Let’s say hi to these unusual spikemice!
