I miss having a monthly prompt to make art for- so I'm making my own! To celebrate my anniversary of starting my own art community, we are starting with the mule deer. I'll be making art inspired by mule deer all month long so feel free to follow along on our #faunafeature adventure :D

Large white letters with a black outline read "Fauna Feature: August 2026". A text bubble below says "Mule deer: Odocoileus hemionus". More text at the bottom of the image says "Fauna Feature is a creative prompt that highlights a different animal each month. Express your creativity with #FaunaFeature and nominate next month’s animal!"

Large white letters with a black outline read "What is fauna feature?". More text at the bottom of the image says "Fauna Feature is a monthly creative prompt centered around discovering, appreciating, and learning about a variety of different animals. A new animal species will be selected each month as the featured fauna through participant nominations and community voting. Every participant will have a chance to help shape the journey of discovery!"

Large white letters with a black outline read "How do I participate?". More text at the bottom of the image says "Everyone is welcome to participate regardless of skill level or creative background. Whether you enjoy drawing, writing, sculpting, crafting, photography, etc. you are welcome to participate.

Simply tag or mention #FaunaFeature or @Deertush in your post! Participants are also welcome to suggest the next month’s feature animal."

Large white letters with a black outline read "What's the point?". More text at the bottom of the image says "The goal of Fauna Feature is to encourage creativity and learning. There is no “goal” or prizes other than to learn about the world around us.

A poll will be released at the end of each month to vote for the chosen animal nominations. Every submitted piece will be shown off in a livestream at twitch.tv/deertush before the next animal is announced!"

I think we could all use some pleasant things in our lives right now. Check out the ongoing new season of @songbirding.com featuring birds of the Canadian Rockies! I illustrated this season's cover art with a singing male Townsend's Warbler. 🎨🪶 #SciArt #BirdArt

Digital illustration of a singing male Townsend's Warbler perched high at the very tip of a conifer. He is colored in bold yellow, black, and white, with his beak open in song, and stands out bright and colorful against the cool blue sky and the jagged slopes of the Rocky Mountains in the background.
