I think I totally spaced in putting the first couple of my vampire cards here on Tumblr.

And I can't let that stand.

SO here's my freaks, my favorite freaks. We got Beach Freak (David from Lost Boys) , Rat Man Freak (Barlow from 79 Salem's Lot) and Old Man Freak (Original Nosferatu).

Me and the crew lookin' good and we don't care who know it (we care a lot).

There's Altissimo the Roserade

Void the Absol

Topaz the Vaporeon

El Guapo the (Alpha) Hawlucha

Blight the Chandelure

And Scylla the Garchomp.

Finally, done with the Pumpkaboo drawing I've been warring with, and just in time for -

...

Well, better late than never.

Up next with the vampire ladies is Marceline: The Vampire Queen.

I had a lot of fun doing this one and trying to draw Marceline making one of her monster faces. What's the point of drawing a vampire if you're not drawing them in all their toothy glory?

And I'm BACK on the vampires.

Finally getting to a lady vampire, first off is Pearl from American Vampire, one of my favorite characters and all-around cool lady.

And some of the hardest hit stations, the ones who had been relying most heavily on this federal funding, are Native American and Indigenous Nations’ local stations. Radio stations in rural areas and on reservations can often be a really important source of locally relevant information—and publicly available media in Native languages.

Unfortunately, many Native American-serving public media stations listed on Adopt A Station don't have donation or support pages that I can find (KGHR - Greyhills Academy in the Navajo Nation in Arizona; KGVA - The Voice of the Aaniiih and Nakoda Nations in Montana; KSHI - The Voice of the A:shiwi in Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico; KCUW - Umatilla Reservation Community Radio in Oregon; KTNN - The Voice of the Navajo Nation broadcasting from Arizona; KUHB - The Voice of the Pribilofs in St. Paul, Alaska; KDSP - Sand Point in Alaska... if you can find any, let me know! And certainly if you're in the area, show them some support!)

But one that's actively running a fundraiser that could absolutely use more support is KUYI - Hopi Radio in Arizona. Broadcasting from the seat of the Hopi government in Kykotsmovi, KUYI includes local news from the Hopi reservation and programming in the Hopi language. They're also set to lose 60% of their funding with the CPB funds rescinded. Donate to support them here—they’re aiming to raise $25,000 for their 25th anniversary, and as of the time of this posting have raised $1,660.

Tuca and Toucannon.

More I looked at it, the more unhappy I was with the background of this image, so I (hopefully) did a better job.

Just in case I didn't make my fondness for the fuckoff fire moth clear, thought I'd take a stab at making a Mega Form.

And by "Mega Form," I mean

DOGE just froze funding to vital Federal and Indigenous conservation programs devoted to supporting the very delicate and tenuous existence of the black-footed ferret.

I fell in love with these animals as a kid traveling to our National Parks. Their rarity and ferocity made me sharply aware, even as a child, of just how much of a responsibility we have toward our environment. I can't bear the thought of them being a fucking casualty of Trump and Musk.

Looking for trainers to meet me and my fuckoff moth to battle behind the town diner.

Rat Skull Cherries

Hey look, the result of too much time and layers.

Here's a continuation of my whole skull obsession, and I am so glad I'm done with this one. Next piece is going to have nowhere near as many tiny frustrating circles.

Volcarona has always been rad as Hell in my book. A hulking fire moth that, according to the lore, replaced the sun itself so as to keep ancient societies from freezing to death during a crisis. I know some Pokedex entries are wild, but Volcarona always felt like there's more gravitas to it than others, especially bugs.
