Forgot to post it on-time here, but #funguary week 4 & final - Cosmic! (which I mis-drew as "Celestial," but same diff) 🌟 Went with the violet earthstar, Geastrum violaceum. I really like how the shading turned out on this one! It's been fun getting back into digital

#funguary Week 3 - Immortal! 🪷 For this week's theme I went with Podoserpula miranda, aka the pink pagoda mushroom. It's a critically endangered species,which alongside the angelic, fountain-like look felt like it played nicely with the prompt

Doing @feefal.bsky.social 's #funguary! Week 1 was Decay... decided to go with Engyodontium aranearum for this one - a fuzzy fungus that specializes in infecting cellar spiders, transforming them into ethereal lacy shapes
Trying to get a feel for screentones this year!

A perplexus! I love those toys!!
It could be from candela, as in latin for white and shining? I see that pop up in epithets occasionally
Oooo so pretty! Marrus (especially Marrus orthocanna) have been among my favorite animals for a while, and I'm always so delighted to see them!! I even used to call them sea hyacinths when I was little, to counterpart sea anenomes and sea lilies in the animal bouquet
fantastical drawing of Pervushovisaurus, an extinct marine reptile similar to a modern dolphin but with four flippers. it is colored in shades of blue, red, and lavender. Surrounding it are several Baculites, extinct cephalopods related to squids with long pointed shells
Pervushovisaurus and Baculites friends
Spider monkey?

It’s finally the 24th for me (if it’s not for you, kill yourself :3)
So it’s club penguin’s 20th anniversary today, so to celebrate, I made a background inspired by the style 🐧
Club Penguin was big apart of my childhood and sad it’s been 8 years since the shutdown :(

Unironically, get some of those fancy-looking metal garden tag stakes and label everything. Makes you feel like an arboretum, and makes people think twice about removing stuff - worked for me in the past!
Tomorrow/Friday OCT 17th @7pm PDT I'll be #streaming #SpooktoberVNJam entries Houndwife & Midnight Oil! Houndwife writer/director @ocreatus.bsky.social and their team will be joining us after, and we'll talk with @thatbfein.bsky.social (and company) after Midnight Oil!

This is what cemented Professor Layton as a series of all time for me, the cutscenes in the ds game were just so Charming
A black and white comic. A young witch is hard at work in her garden. "Boss?" she intones to an older witch behind her. "Problem?" the older witch responds. "Yeah," the young witch replies. The young witch pulls out a mandragora root that appears to be surly. Instead of screaming, it grunts. "Weird, right?" says the young witch to her mentor. "Mhmm," the older witch grunts, in agreement.
Sometimes a mandragora root just has bad vibes. New public post up on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/mandra...
Oh wow! I loved the demo during spooktober, so excited to see you all keeping it up!

Older pen-an-ink illustration I did for the Mushrooms & Magic rulebook, a post-apocalyptic #mushroomfolk #monsteroftheweek system where you can get little buggy buddies..... sorting through old art and was really pleased by how these came out! 🍄
