My photo collage shows four hippo statuettes made of Egytian blue faience, a ceramic material made of ground quartz. Their bright-blue shiny bodies are decorated in black with depictions of Nile river plants such as water weed and lotus flowers. This decoration depicts their marsh habitat as well as having various layers of symbolism associated with regeneration. For example lotus flowers open in the morning and close at night, symbolising rebirth. Blue faience hippos have been found in Middle Kingdom tombs of high ranking officials. It’s thought they were placed in the tombs to aid the rebirth of the deceased. Hippo top left - Walking hippo shown in profile facing right. Height 11.5 cm, Length 21 cm. Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Top right - Roaring hippo (looks like the hippo is smiling), seated, with head at left and turned inwards to front. Height 7.5 cm, length 12.5 cm. Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen. Bottom left - Standing hippo in profile facing right. This hippo is part of the Met Museum’s collections and is popularly known as ‘William’. Height 11.2 cm, Length 20 cm Bottom Right - Reclining hippo with head on the right, facing front, and tilted down. Egyptian Museum, Cairo
Happy Sunday! 🦛 💙
Adorable ancient Egyptian blue faience hippos made by artisans some 4,000 years ago!

Two more of these. I've actually made so much Destiny 2 pixel art I might compile it somewhere at it's original size as some sort of page decoration material #destiny2 #destiny2art
✏️✨ OCtober day 9 - Hot Springs

✏️✨ OCtober day 5 - Night
Aedan snores lightly and tends to travel in his sleep, Varah does that big twitch as she's falling asleep but then is pretty much still as a corpse the whole night
#OCtober2025
A rough digital sketch of my characters Varah and Aedan. Varah has medium brown skin, dark hair, and pointed ears. She is scooping Aedan, a ruddy-haired, bearded, pale human, up with one arm while he grips onto her, startled by the sudden action.
✏️✨ OCtober day 1 - Introduction
MY BLORBOS! These are them :} Their world and story is of the fantasy genre - Varah is a Big Lady (her race being naturally tall, she's like 6' 10"), and thus Aedan is just a lil guy to her, easily grabbable (and/or tossable). They go on A Big Adventure!

Four princesses in cute frilly pink dresses eviscerate a serpentine dragon, they are playing with and eating its organs, which are cartoonishly bright blue and purple.

A three panel comic of an anthromorphic weevil. The first panel has him eagerly sitting in front of a laptop, with the dialogue in a speech bubble, "That film... wow! A cutting-edge classic! A window into my heart, a dictionary to define my soul, I can't wait to log it into my Letterbugsd!" Second panel: A closeup of the weevil's laptop, showing the film he liked got a low rating, only 2.1 stars. Third panel: The weevil looks forlorn as he dons a rainbow clown wig and red nose. His dialogue, "I see."

Gigantic aurora Pokemon in a nostalgic nighttime dreamscape of ice and sparkling stars. There are 12 kinds of creatures in this illustration - some obvious, others well hidden. Can you find 'em all?
Only on the darkest arctic nights can you encounter this Primordial Pokémon. It manifests as aurora and ice, gently towering over the pole's frigid denizens...

(There are 12 kinds of Pokémon in this #art! Can you find 'em all? Some are well hidden. Have fun & don't give away answers! 💕)

After noticing patterns over the years, I created this list with 13 points to score the level of stereotypes about sharks present in a work. I believe that most of these stereotypes have their main origin in the film Jaws (1975). With the scarcity of works that explore other creative approaches to sharks, beyond the “man-eating ” narrative, Jaws ended up consolidating itself as the greatest source of inspiration and creative reference for many productions to this day. This was called “The Jaws Effect”. I've noticed that certain patterns in the creative world repeat themselves to the point of being tedious, which bothers me. Not because they're bad, but because in many cases they're harmful. With these points, I hope to show sharks in a new light.
Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Jaws
🩸🦈I made a list to score, with 13 levels of stereotypes about sharks, I hope it is useful for those who want to create works beyond the fear ingrained by Jaws and seek new creative representations of sharks.

Digital art of Eris from the thighs up against a patch of green background. She is naked, blooded and splattered with ichor, her hair long and tangled and wild. In her right hand she holds up her orb, in her left she clutches the remains of her Ghost.
quick sketchy render of what I think Eris would have looked like emerging from the hellmouth if destiny was not rated t for teen (warning for blood and ick)
Characters from Destiny 2. Digital art done in stark red tones: Eris, behind him, holds Drifter's face while she brings a knife up to his throat. He's giving her a sly smile.

Cropped screenshot of a WIP of Commander Zavala from Destiny 2 in a shogun-inspired Japanese outfit. He's sitting down with his right hand pensively raised in a fist (as he do). His Ghost, Targe, floats off to his left. There's also a floating color palette left in by the artist.
*indeed'ing intensifies*

Digital art of Eris and Drifter sharing a kiss on a staircase in Eris's throne world. Drifter leans up to meet Eris, her hand on the back of his head, warm light and shades of green around them.
we should just kiss like real people do #drifteris
A meme redraw of a Facebook post and a comment (translated in the text of the post). There is a photo of a muscular man wearing only boxers taking a photo of himself in the mirror. It has been redrawin into Lord Shaxx taking the photo with his ghost, holding them like a phone. Of course the helmet is on. The icon of the commenter was also redrawn into an off-center picture of angry Aunor Mahal.

Sure, you can have this one too.
Translation:
Shaxx: This isn't over yet, so it's time for training.
Aunor: Shame The Speaker just died and you are walking around naked gross behavior
The Shield Brothers from Destiny in the style of Don’t Starve Together. And yes they are pigs.
