Reposting a couple of "old" drawings (one from March 2026, the other from February-March 2025)

A destrier and a hound. Both drawn exclusively with black pen, 70×50cm. I like spirals

Hi everyone, happy Pride Month!

I couldn't find any art of Utena characters sloppy kissing online, so I decided to do something about it. More coming soon!

☄️ ~ 🐉 Dragon skulls! 🐉 ~ ☄️

These are skulls of male chinese muntjacs, belonging to two different subspecies: Muntiacus reevesi reevesi (bigger one, native to mainland China) and M. reevesi micrurus (smaller one, endemic to the island of Taiwan).

They're full of distinctive features:

sharp tusks which help individuals in fighting, removing bark from trees, or digging;

right in front of the eye sockets, two large cavities called suborbital pits, where in life the scent glands would have been located. They are are fundamental for communication, as they release secretions used to mark territory and signal to other individuals;

two long bony pedicles that become more robust as they age and on which the antlers grow. As in other deer species, the antlers are shed and regrow periodically.

Honestly, I’m kind of scared this might come off as extremely cringe to post. But I can’t let that limit my fun. A huge thank you to @wingsofhcpe for helping me so much with these drawings.

Enjoy the Expedition 33 dragon AU Maelle/Alicia 🐉 (I'm working on Verso too)

New creature from my sketchbook <3

The skull of a two-toed sloth.

Sharp fangs are not exclusive to predators. These animals, like their armored relatives (Cingulata), have teeth that grow continuously and lack enamel; by grinding against each other, they become pointed. The tannins in the leaves they feed on make them turn almost black.

Oh, and they also have impressive claws…

Rabbits are not rodents!

*fairly long post about animal cranial anatomy*

Contrary to common belief, rabbits and hares (Leporidae), together with pikas (Ochotonidae), do not belong to the order of rodents; They are, instead, lagomorphs.

I won’t dwell on behavioral or dietary differences, but I will show you a small detail of the skull that makes them distinguishable at a glance. First, let’s see if you can spot it yourself!

Got it? The answer lies in the incisors. While rodents have a single upper pair, often (but not always) colored red or orange - lagomorphs have two pairs of incisors in the upper jaw.

These teeth are called peg teeth, and they help them grind fibrous food.

I had so much fun making this post 🥹 I hope you like it, maybe let me know if you would like more

What does your pet look like beneath its skin and muscles?

Here’s a small selection: meerkat, dog (Dogue de Bordeaux), cat and rabbit. The dog, being prognathous and brachycephalic, certainly offers quite a spectacle for skull enthusiasts, with its rotated molars and an extra tooth between the upper incisors and canine.

The others are also extraordinarily fascinating, featuring lesions and characteristics that are difficult to capture in just a profile photo. I'm lucky to have them between my hands.

Did you know? The deep ocean is as black as the night sky, and at its bottom you can find many stars.

I love seashells (these are mine)

There were a lot of freshwater mussels on the 2021 US extinction list. They didn’t leave us with haunting recordings of them calling out for a mate they’d never meet, there were no drawings in vivid color. They were extremely important nevertheless and their loss is frustrating too. That’s why stream ecology and mollusks have always fascinated me. They were silent, stalwart little heroes and entire species were lost to pollution.

[byjove]

Yeah, I am bothered by extinct animals. Even this guy. They can’t all be thylacines.

Don't trust collectors who say that nasal turbinates don't matter.

The inside of an animal’s nasal cavity tells us lots of information about the environment it lived in and the family it belongs to. Aggressive treatments such as boiling damage them: anyone who uses those methods to “clean” bones is not a true enthusiast.

In the photo: harp seal, wolverine, striped hyena, cheetah.
