This was my first attempt at animating in Krita! It was actually really fun and I learned a lot about Krita! (including how to turn off the stupid timeline zoom scroll feature lol). Only the crosshairs were animated in Krita, and the watermark, rest was photoshop.

The first Instagram raffle prize is finished: the fullbody!

This is @iceshard28 's character Honey, a Bumblewing! He was fun to work on, and I think the piece came out really nice!

Updated Thaya ref for artfight!! I think it turned out pretty well, its nice to see how much I've improved anatomy-wise. ------ Thaya is about the best doctor in northern Mezuria, and even runs his own clinic. He always knows how to make his patients as comfortable as he can. But... not everyone sees him that way.

Thaya's been on the run since childhood because of his appearance, kicked out of his home very young. He's been labeled a demon, an evil spirit, a monster, anything you can think of really.

Ever since he started the clinic a few years ago, people have come around, mostly local northerners though. Even the other doctors hesitate to send patients or consult, that is until they come back with a glowing review. He's extremely skilled after years of practice on his unwilling travels. The lymphatic fluid coming from his eyes is packed with immune cells that aggressively attack anything organic. It also fills his sinuses, which helps him to basically never get sick.

Thaya knows what its like to be mistreated. Anything you need to feel more comfortable, he'll make it work. And nobody leaves without a sucker, because even war-torn veterans like sugar.

Thaya struggles with a fear of unintentionally hurting others and anxiety, having been told he's a dangerous monster all his life. He does pottery as a hobby; its very calming for him. He doesn't like going by his real fist name Thay'ak, as it means demon in his native language (great parents.)

The Giraffe Weevil (Trachelophorus Giraffa), not to be confused with Lasiorhynicus Barbicornis who shares the same common name, is a small species of weevil native to Madagascar. They are known for their long necks, from which they get their namesake. The males have necks up to 2-3 times larger than the females! The male weevils have been known to use their long necks for combat against other males.

I HAVE RETURNED !!!!!!!

This Project Hail Mary fanart of planet Adrian is FINALLY done. Its been so hectic recently and i finally had time to sit down and finish it! There's a regular version and an infrared version of the image, showing Adrian's Petrova line. The turbulence on the planet is actually photobashed NASA images of Jupiter from the JUNO probe!

I watched this move a couple weeks ago and I AM OBSESSED. Its my favorite movie of all time, and now I'm reading the book! I loved it so much, I just had to make fanart of it, which doesn't happen often for me!

They better release that director's cut cuz ill watch ALL of it.

What game feels like "home" to you no matter when you come back to it?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

There's a few I think that would fall under that title, but Outer Wilds has gotta take it for that one. I could play that game over and over lolll. It's such an incredible story and it's amazing to revisit it again and again.

Reference sheet for…SEEKER! ~250,000 years ago, there was no naturally occurring tool-using life on Earth. In fact, it was much like our Earth 65 mya. Well, not quite, but close.

One day, someone arrived from the stars. They began to build, and to observe. They wanted to study the creatures of earth as they grew up, only watching from afar and collecting data.

And so the SEEKER units were created, made to resemble the endemic life and observe them. They had other functions, like construction and sample collection. There were other lines created too, each with different appearances and features.

One day, the ones who came from the stars disappeared. Nobody knows why, but sensing their imminent end, they send out a signal to shut down all of the drone units, ensuring they wouldn't continue their work aimlessly after they were gone.

Most drones got this message, except a few. SK-1592-G was working within the 3ft copper shielding of gateway hub 445G and did not receive the message. It continued to perform maintenance on various structures, well, aimlessly.

Eventually, someone on earth discovered fire, the others followed suit, and so it goes. Finding the technology left behind greatly accelerated their advancement, in Mezuria especially.

SEEKER passively collected data for thousands of years. That was until recently, during one of the largest snow storms southern mezuria has ever had. One of the creatures it was meant to observe and not interact with was speaking to it. It had learned that language; they were asking for help.

============

It's file system is so self-referential and constantly changing that its incomprehensible to anyone else now. Seeker now searches for people who need help. They're starting to "feel", and trying to understand how to interact with others, and what it means to be…him? That feels right.

Who am I?
