Today, an anatomy lesson starring Galvin the gryphon, wonderfully illustrated by @likeshine.bsky.social

An illustration, "Anatomy of the Squeaky Gryph," showing off the various parts of a rubber gryphon. They include: "Squeak beak. Insert food here." "Shine seekers (eyes), the keenest of sight!" "'Deadly' talons. It's true, they're squishy." "Seams, reinforced for extra cargo capactiy". "Saddle bags of holding. For documents, bottles of polish, and friends." "Swisher (tail), guaranteed to knock over the most expensive thing!". IT's a pretty cute gryphon if you ask me.

Accidentally started this discussion on Reddit, so I will also ask here. Did Dottie drop the ball on purpose in A League of Their Own?

Really fun commission for Kesrael! Birbs, ferrets, hell yeah!

kesrael rears up on her hind legs with a fireball in the palm of her talons. She is an american kestrel/lioness gryphon with standard markings. She has a ferret at her feet and one perched on her shoulder.

Aaaaaah I'm so thrilled with how this turned out. I've wanted an 'Anatomy of' piece from @likeshine.bsky.social for forever & I don't know why I put it off so long! She was a delight to work with, came up with out of the park ideas to the point of zero revisions. Thrilled doesn't begin to cover it.

A fanart sketch! Someone on the Panthers subreddit lamented that the Avs get a DCC night but we don't, then expressed a want for a leaping Panthers style Donut. Will it ever be done? Who knows. Behold, the Leaping Chonk.

Having mental image issues with books lately. Like, this one character is described as a decapitated giant’s head on a stone pedestal. And for some reason I am imagining this thing with the face of Thomas the Tank Engine. So many of my Dungeon Crawler Carl imagines are equally batshit. Send help.

I, for one, think Static makes for a very cute yinglet. Even if they make a lot of squeaky noises when hunting for clams. Maybe even partly because of that. By @likeshine.bsky.social Yinglets are Valsalia's creation.

Swiftwind and his lovely lady Fairwind are experiencing feather fail once more. Rabbits can be devious, yanno! Commission for my friend @swiftwind.bsky.social , thank you so much <3 you know how much I appreciate you! Commissions are open, friends. Check the link in my profile if you're interested!

Swiftwind and Fairwind are defeated by the rabbit once more, having lost their feathers yet again to one of his tricks. The setting is a daytime farm scene with blue skies and fluffy clouds. The barn and windmill are red. The rabbit is in the grass laughing hysterically at the two eagles, who are quite pink and unfeathered and carrying the leftovers in a box.

This August our next Ancient breed, the Chorus dragon, will be released! www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/3... #FlightRising #Dragon #Teaser #HypeResponsibly

An image of a Chorus dragon adult, with the silhouettes of the other adult pose and hatchling pose behind it. The central dragon is in full color in shades of purple, magenta, and pink. This dragon has three heads, each with a pair of cheek fluffs and two horns that curve downward. It has two front legs and a serpentine body. There are spiky frills that run along the head and back of the dragon. The background is an eerie Arcane region, with dilapidated stones, floating rocks, and green vertical lightning strikes. The overlaid text reads Preview, Chorus Dragons.

So I’m not a very sociable hag when I’m at the gym. I like my space. I like to go on machines next to machines that are broken to minimize contact. And the amount of people who just, move the sign and start pushing buttons are worrisome. The giant words are right fucking there.
