Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

The skunk’s defense system is infamous for its unpleasantness. However, stink it’s the only danger they pose. Not only is their spray notoriously foul, it’s highly flammable. Skunk anal glands produce a sulfur-based oil made of thiol compounds, which are also found in foods like garlic and onions.

The Warrior Cats project of the day is This charming man by Mephitidae! This PMV is about a ship between Hawkfrost and Ashfur. It shows their first meeting, as Ashfur is heartbroken over Squirrelflight. Hawkfrost flirts with him, and romance blossoms! The background colours are beautiful and the style is eye-pleasing.

“A few small Patagonian mammals” (2019)

A doodle dump I made once, while fighting a very intense art block, featuring a small sample of relatively obscure small Patagonian Steppe native mammals, I purposefully avoided felines and canines... as well as Guanaco, even though i don’t think maras qualify as tiny. Decided not to shade them back then, mostly in order to visualize the colors.... or maybe i was just being lazy, haha. these are just colored sketches after all! Not great artisitically, but I like Multiple-species dumps.

Mouse-oppsooums and skunks are cool c: 

I’ve been extremely busy IRL and very slow online lately with everything, but I remain archieving, if one piece at a time!
