The Army - Kaiyodo

Tsushima island marten [Martes melampus tsuensis]

Various websites, 2020-2026

From ChocoQ Animatales series 6

My beloved army. 28 in total. Perhaps more will join in future, but for a while it will stay this way.

I love seeing the variation between them and there is even variance in the construction of some of them.

I have a particular fondness of the one in the middle row second from the left← who is also pictured on the left← in the closer photos. I love it's lack of white throat.

These guys are so cheap and I just couldn't stop myself ordering a few every time I was doing a proxy order from Japan.

All of them are lined up on one of my computer monitors, but for one that lives in my car. I have also gifted my three closest friends one each to watch over them (these are not in the photograph above)

I've been playing around with publisher since it's going to be eliminated soon, and decided to make one of these charts with the drawings I made for this year's Maystelid! It's the first time I get to make one of these and I'm very happy with the result <3

Sable, anhydrite, USSR. 1960

My favourite so far. Tiny, marshmallow-like sable (was going as "ermine" on local store). Sadly its face & paws were damaged really much, but oh well.

A caravan of stoats!

Obviously the pine martens were the highlight of my visit, but I'd be lying if I said the polecats weren't a close second. They were just so active and friendly.

ΘΔ Pine martens in their natural habitat! 🌳🌲

Well, not really, it's not a forest, but a park.

I decided to take my kit outside, take some photos, read a book, and feed my favorite birds, the pigeons.

As you may know, I don't have much practice with digital art, it's my phone and my finger, but I tried so hard with this selfie edit!! It's me :D

Compared to my tiny marten, the pigeons are huge!
