It's Tierlist Tuesday. This is my ranking of sports by how entertaining they are imo. Sports are ranked only by tiers and not by their specific placement in the tiers. #tierlist #sports

I hope I'm not too late for #PortfolioDay, cause I have some newer stuff to show!

Hi, I'm a traditional mark-maker who loves ink and adding details to lots of my subject matter. Colour generally scares me.

Daily art practice. I was going to draw a plume of feathers behind her(like a carnival outfit?) But realized it would take too long. I'll clean it up and do the shading at some point. #wip

The dark phoenix saga is... ok.
80s xmen comics are extremely hit or miss.
There are too many x men. And mutants in general.
Jubilee is cool. Easy B tier.
Dazzler is cool. Easy A tier.
Psylocke is like, C tier at best. At best.
Professor X is a horrid person and he shouldn't lead the x men ever.

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 1d

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

Daily art practice. Abs and such. Ribcages and hips are confusing.

Birds of the world 🌍🦜 @mybirdcards.com · 5d

Name this bird! 🤔 (See alt-text for clue) 🌏 #NameThisBird #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜

"I am an Australian cockatoo, instantly recognizable by my vibrant rose-pink face and chest contrasted with my grey wings and back. I am highly social and often seen foraging for seeds on the ground in large flocks across open woodlands and farmlands." What bird am I? 2.5 Flash (Edited)

I was out for the last two days (with the flu I think?) So pretend I posted this on Friday. Wishmaster had some great practical effects and the antagonist was legit creepy. Knock off is fun if you like 90s/00s martial arts movies. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #moviesky

Phantasm .5
Knock off 3.5
Wishmaster 4- I liked this one.

I'd assume a popular furry account probably liked/reposted it and their followers saw.

I'm open for one commission.
Something cyberpunk or something Conan, whatever, I'm in the mood to churn out something crazy!
Hit me up!
