Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
I hope my wife knows that when I call her an angel, I don't mean it in the Renaissance way. She is not a flattened image or a static relief, blunting the edges of her power under a vapid smile, crushing it under a heavy oil-slick of paint. I hope she knows that when I call her an angel, I mean to call her an engine of destruction enveloped in a gauze of grace. I hope she knows her eyes hold reflections of millions of years of civilization and sin, and I could search them for a million more and never have my fill. I hope she knows her voice could call forth pillars of fire and salt and ash. I hope that when her spine aches and her knees crack and her body feels too heavy for its bones, she knows it is her divine fire struggling to escape its mortal form and burn transcendent. I hope she knows she is dangerous, and powerful, and wild, and walks with the weight of wings and worlds upon her shoulders. Be not afraid, she said--and I hope she knows that if her Creator so feared her He would cast her from His heaven, that my love is stronger than His fear, and I will build her a new one.
#man did a megalosaurus and iguanadon fuck?#or is it like all the ones decended from either one are counted in the same group?#where did they evolve from?#is the term dinosaur like the term “fish” where its all weird?#but i do think dragons decended from the megalosaurus and the iguanadon#or at least certain kinds of dragons#perhaps without the mass extiction event that fuckin merked the dinos we couda got ourselves a dragon#but would there be humans?#i have so many questions
@moonboy-queerfingers moving to a new post but
It's not that Megalosaurus and Iguanodon fucked (they were millions of years apart)
It's that they were the first two dinosaurs discovered
SO we defined the group as *their family tree*, which means that the first dinosaur was the last ancestor they shared
so like, think about a family group of humans. you have distant cousins with your last name, because a few generations ago, your most recent common ancestor with said cousins had that last name.
"Dinosaur" is just that for species.
Fish is weird for many, many reasons, some are similar, but it's a whole other ball game. Essentially, all tetrapods (amphibians, reptiles+birds, mammals) evolved from fish, but weren't included in fish when we just classified things on traits. So, by evolutionary relationship, tetrapods are fish, but that's never what people mean when they say fish, so scientists don't know what to do. I personally vote we call tetrapods fish because a lot of our anatomy is directly because we are fish.
And we did actually have dragons among dinosaurs ! They're called Scansoriopterygids and they were small, but very much dragon like:
I just ordered your Pond Life bowl and I am literally so excited about that I showed a lady at the grocery store. She was also very excited about it for me. :D
This is the cutest message and I LOVE it 🥰 I’m glad the lady at the grocery store was excited for you. I’m excited for you too! this piece took a lot of reference hunting and a ton of sketches before carving and I’m really proud of it. I’ll be packing it up tomorrow ❤️
I've just finished a very difficult and drawn-out move and my funds are looking rough so i'm opening for 3 medium to large painting commissions!! (yes, you get the physical painting to keep!)
I can paint both toony and realistic stuff, i don't have a preference!! I love to paint fish, bugs and birds best but i can do a lot of other stuff too! If you're unsure, just send me a message and we can talk about your idea + figure out a rough price!
Now that my move is finished im able to get started on commissions immediately rather than needing to make people wait! So shoot me a message either here or via my website if you're interested, im gonna do a 10% discount from today (Sept 7th) for 1 week (until Sept 14th)!
All my price info + more examples are on my website over here!
look. sometimes it's 2019 and your partner has just moved in with you and you're in a pretty bad place because you think you're a failure as a human being, and you're standing in a walmart trying to figure out if you have enough money to buy food AND toilet paper, and you impulse buy a pack of toothpick umbrellas too, and they don't help, but they help, you know?
and then sometimes it's 2023 and you've survived a world-class plague and the collapse of a friendship you thought was made of bedrock, and have a stable job and are married to the aforementioned partner, and your dad brings you a coconut and teaches you how to husk it, and when you do, the top cracks off perfectly. and suddenly the one small gesture of kindness you gave yourself has magnified through time because now you can put a tiny toothpick umbrella in a cocktail mixed in a coconut and realize that maybe you're okay now.
bottom's up, babes. time is a garden and the seeds of hope you plant for yourself will grow, whether you think you deserve their harvest or not.
In january, I had the opportunity again to create this serie of poster for the Forum des Images in Paris. I really love working for them since I have always almost full artistic liberty :)
Throughout the Drawn to Life Series, many enemies only appear in one level. All of these enemies appear in the picture above, made by "guythatexists" on Discord. In order, these enemies are:
