I know tumblr is the platform of being loud with your opinions but holy shit this is incredibly rude.

You want to know why that fox looked different than my usual style? I’m always looking for chances to improve and I got inspired by the shapes of briarhide’s foxes which I reblogged weeks ago and wanted to adjust my style to incorporate them.

I’m more amused than anything but my god if that’s your first impression of me I don’t want you following me

Throughout the month of September 2019, FaunaFocus featured the spotted hyaena and 11 artists took on the challenge and joined the Free-For-All.

Congratulations to the winner, H. McGill, who wowed the judges with a warm-colored and dramatic piece. Combining elements of 1200 century artwork with photorealism and an ornately bordered composition, H. McGill presented a unique representation of this hyaenid.

H. McGill will be selecting November 2019’s FaunaFocus which will be announced at the end of October 2019’s Free-For-All. Last month’s Free-For-All winner, Shadowind has selected the leopard for October 2019’s FaunaFocus!

Dragon drawings, inspired by this little dragon head fragment I saw on display at the Hunt Museum in Limerick. I just liked its head shape and wanted to imagine how the rest of its body could look like.

‘Ray Cats’.Vintage poster-style design inspired by an article I read about the many theories and proposals made on how best to warn future civilisations about buried nuclear waste, one of the weirdest being to genetically engineer cats so that they glow when in the presence of nuclear radiation.

Bramble Cay Melomys: A Tribute To A Little Brown Rat.

This piece is one of a collection of artworks on the subject of the Bramble Cay melomys, a rodent species that was the first mammal to have been made extinct directly as a result of human-induced climate change. It was first declared extinct in 2015 by the IUCN, by which time around 97% of the vegetation that provided its food and shelter on the island where it lived had been lost to flooding due to rising sea levels.

This piece and the rest of the works in this collection will be available to view from the 4th-7th July in the Civic Offices of Ballina, Ireland, within the exhibition ‘What We Stand To Lose’, hosted as part of the Mary Robinson Centre Climate Conference.

Medb (also known as Medbh, Méabh or the Anglicised version Maeve), ancient Celtic queen of the province of Connacht, Ireland. She is described in legends as being a ‘fair-haired wolf queen’ who was clever, beautiful, ambitious and highly formidable as a warrior and ruler, as well as a recurring adversary to the mythological figure Cúchulainn.

It is unclear whether Medb may have ever existed as a real person or was simply a figure in legends; she may have also have originally been based on an ancient sovereignty or fertility goddess.
