The candles gleam and glitter,
Their light makes the water shimmer~
Huebert glides on a lilypad afloat,
A silent spell, aboard his makeshift boat~

Our friend the Peru Stubfoot Toad is a critically endangered toad who lives in high elevations in the Andes of Peru! They are one of a few toads who are known to produce tetrodotoxin, the same kind of toxin found in pufferfish! (photo by Jörn Köhler)

An olive-green toad with a somewhat lumpy appearance, with a wide black band down their side! The black band is speckled with small yellow dots! They also have a yellow patch on their face and hind legs! They have small reddish areas on their feet!

This is the sort of thing I want to show all the "tracing is totally ok!" people. I've never seen these people never go into details on what sort of stuff is OK to copy, leaving young or beginning artists thinking tracing is totally acceptable and is never going to get them in trouble.

Denny's restaurants and other businesses in Japan have pulled their use of illustrations by Perfect Blue and Sonny Boy character designer Hisashi Eguchi after accusations he traced images:

28 Years Later caught me by suprise. I didn't expect to cry that hard at a zombie movie.

Also, not a movie but a very short anime series: She and Her Cat -Everything Flows-. Had me just ugly crying.

I highly recommend Clowns VS Spiders. Horror comedy with an appropriate mix of both. It's probably my favorite audiobook on Audible.

The Haunted Forest Tour is fun if you like SCP-style monsters.

Dark Harvest has a great fall-vibe.

Her voice like honey in the night~

As the bug band croons under shimmering lights~

More pics of the gacha charm bracelets that I'll have available at #blfc, I was trying to get hand shots and my mom's ancient cat wouldn't accept that we were in her orbit without pets... so hand-shots featuring charm bracelets and kitty!

#pokemon #artistalley

Supposed to be a pic of my new charm bracelets that will be available in the dealer's den at BLFC, but really it's an excuse to pet the old kitty.
