Sharing my wing tutorial for bluesky people! It's light and focuses on propatagium, something that I often found missing when working on client designs. Lastly, check the Alt. text for some commentary. Hope it's helpful! #artsky #tutorial #art #wings #sciart

The image shows oversimplified and idealised wings. Great for some fantasy settings but the bone structure is totally awry.

This image focuses on the leading edge of the wing - the propatagium. It's a membrane that fills the gap between the wrist and shoulder, creating a nice aerodynamic shape.

Final image shows skeletal schematic of the flying vertebrates forelimb: the bat, the bird, the pterosaur. With a funny comparison to the human hand.

Butterbutt. An older comic.

A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

I spent the last four months in Arizona working in Flat-tailed Horned Lizard surveys, a protected species I hadn't seen before this year but grew on me to become my favorite lizard. Awesome project, awesome animals, awesome friends to work alongside with, it was a great time. #herps 🦎

A Flat-tailed Horned Lizard in the shade chilling on sand. This species is light colored with their characteristic black stripe down their back. They have two pretty bong horns on the back of the head.

So yesterday I took the Tobu line into the depths of unloved, untouched Saitama & walked 40min while srsly questioning my life choices & did find a bus back 2 the station but it was actually a van w/ a bus sticker on it that drove in circles & took longer than walking but y’all it was so worth it!!!

The obligatory yellow and black butterfly on a red higanbana shot. All serious amateur photographers are required to post one of these per season in Japan. I am particularly pleased by how this year’s turned out.

Ridiculously red river of spider lilies under canopy of trees losing their leaves. Not one of them is distinct enough from the cloud to know what is is without my telling you. Sort of like that death march passage through Shinagawa station but with flowers instead of people.

Red spider Lillie’s in blue of their friends below a slope. Above is a creepy shadowy bokeh dude if you look for him. Probably perfectly normal but I’d still choose the bear.

Red red red spider lily poking out of more red and almost identifiable but not quite so spider lilies with bokeh trees in background losing their green.

My headcanon on @ascalaphid.com ‘s “Brother” “Ignatz”

1 page comic sketch. A bittern who seems to have recently put on a monk’s robes for the first time says “y’know, these robes are rather comfy. Now… to find a monastery where I can *lay low* for a while” as he scrunches up his long neck. He sees a monastery conveniently placed on a nearby hilltop!
As the bittern approaches, he sees a shrew monk snacking on something from a pouch. The shrew opens his arms wide, proclaiming “Ah, Brother! Welcome to our humble monastery! What is your name?”
The bittern stutters, “I…” and notices the snack pouch in the shrew’s claws is labeled “GNATS” “Ignatz.” He says, “with a z”.
“What a lovely, *honest* name*” the shrew replies. “Please, Brother Ignatz, come in!”

Humaning.

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

WEYRWORLD (1990)  Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 27" x 36" My schedule was booked up many months in advance, so Del Rey Books commissioned me to do this cover before the book was even written. #art #booksky 🪐📚

With wings spread wide, a white dragon perches on a rocky spire that rises out of cloud cover. Its legs are set unevenly as it gains a hold. Viewed from behind, a rider is saddle-mounted with legs straddling its neck. A handful of other dragons and riders are gathered on similar peaks for a conference in the clouds. The valley wall as seen only in the distance meanders across the horizon. Two large crescent moons hang in a hazy blue sky.

colour photo. close-up of the head of the dino statue. it has the domed head, and some lumps of armour, but "lumpy" would be a good word to summarise this very rough messily-sculpted affair, which is dark brown with a "normal" white and black eye

This #paleoart of #Pteranodon standing on a wave-crashed rock seems to be a favourite for some, judging by steady print sales over the last 10 years. I recall it coming together quickly, probably because I did it for my own enjoyment and fully engaged with my impulses towards romantic art.

A moody male Pteranodon longiceps, sporting an overbite and a giant, slender headcrest, stands on a dark, narrow rock amid a swirling, crashing sea. The next wave's height will reveal whether this guy is the biggest badass to ever bear membranous wings or a grade-A moron for standing on a tiny rock in such a violent sea.
