Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart

Sorry guys, I didn't intentionally abandon the sparkledog comics, I just ran out of wacky scenarios that could apply to both a alternative teen girl and a regular dog

“I loathe that word ‘pristine.’ There have been no pristine systems on this planet for thousands of years,” says Kawika Winter, an Indigenous biocultural ecologist at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. “Humans and nature can co-exist, and both can thrive.”
For example, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in April, a team of researchers from over a dozen institutions reported that humans have been reshaping at least three-quarters of the planet’s land for as long as 12,000 years. In fact, they found, many landscapes with high biodiversity considered to be “wild” today are more strongly linked to past human land use than to contemporary practices that emphasize leaving land untouched. This insight contradicts the idea that humans can only have a neutral or negative effect on the landscape.
Anthropologists and other scholars have critiqued the idea of pristine wilderness for over half a century. Today new findings are driving a second wave of research into how humans have shaped the planet, propelled by increasingly powerful scientific techniques, as well as the compounding crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. The conclusions have added to ongoing debates in the conservation world—though not without controversy. In particular, many discussions hinge on whether Indigenous and preindustrial approaches to the natural world could contribute to a more sustainable future, if applied more widely.

hey, I asked a while ago about using your art as a profile picture, but I'm shifting some of my presence to other platforms (Cohost and Discord) and I wanted to check if it was still okay to use your art over there? Will link to your tumblr/twitter pages in bio/about
with a url like that how could i say no

How do you take such good clear photos of your art? That’s something I really struggle with.
Thats good to hear, it feels like I'm still learning and haven't fully mastered it- things just look better in person!
x x x x I used a regular office scanner.
x crappy android photo, I think most pieces that are older or I'm forgetting to list here have been android photos.
I've used a nikon work camera for some of my acrylic pieces on here. I'm told photgraphing them on overcast days works the best. Most of my other art is digital, or at least colored digitally. I haven't done any digital paintings in a couple years now.

Hey, I was wondering, what coloring technique did you use for your Half Life comic? (stupid question ik but I'm getting into art and kinda am a total noob)
It looks gorgeous!
Thank you :)
They were done in traditional media- mostly colored pencil on toned tan paper with some white ink pen for highlights.
Sidenote: colored pencil might be one of the hardest mediums to use ever. It definitely gave me some newfound respect for certain artists on here.
