attack for @conviivial! want to mention again how I love her design <3 pretty tall bird. and not going to lie I had a blast with background

I meant it to look like a tall cliff near the sea but oh well ;;

when I was drawing I was thinking about this song a lot

which doesn’t necessarily correlate with her story but I felt… a vibe

Although the above photographs are not very appealing, the project was documented and photographed from the very beginning. The above two pictures show exactly how the moose were found after the battle in which their antlers became locked and ultimately took their lives. The moose were found in Springfield, NH by Ray Deragon of New London, NH in October of 2003.

Positioning of the antlers during the form modification and development was a crucial step in the process. Adjusting the mounts to ensure they are accurately depicting natural positioning of fighting moose is a focus of Mark’s work. He has researched dozens of references. He has reviewed many videos of fighting bulls to enhance his ability to exact every detail. This display does not simply depict sparring bulls. It is our intent to capture a dramatic moment during a full scale battle that ultimately lead to the death of both moose once they became hopelessly locked.

The amount of times I've had skulls and taxidermy work marked by tumblr as sexually explicit really makes me worry about their staff. I even appealed this and it failed.

My great grandmother's angelwing has finally bloomed. It's over 30 years old, and last time I saw it bloom was in the old house, which would have been before 2001. I took it from my mother 3 years ago,and it seems to like MT better than WA.
