Hi #PortfolioDay my name is Emily and I like to make comics, horror and critters! Drop me a line if you have a project in need of illustration 🌱
Digitally inked and colored comic page composed of 5 horizontal stacked panels. In them we see a man examining a rock face, hands playing tic tac toe, a family kitchen scene, a man at a computer terminal, and a hand reaching for a lizard scurrying across the same rock face from panel 1 Ink and watercolor comic page featuring a barn filled with many supernatural creatures and two female humans telling them to behave before walking off. The color palette is primarily greens and dull, reddish browns Illustration of a werewolf baring its teeth and claws at the viewer, over his shoulder we see the full moon. It is colored in blues, purples, and yellow moonlight Illustration of a bumpy, warty toad seated in some small tufts of moss. It’s drawn with black line-art and colored with textural oranges and browns on a white background

Does anyone know how Eurasian jays cache acorns? I’ve been hunting for info on this but the best I can turn up is a video of a bluejay pecking one into the ground, like hammering in a nail. Is that what they tend to do?

I didnt know birds were doin the squirrel thing, I wanna know more!

If you have a science-y project or just want to commission a ‘lil animal drawing, you know where to find me 🌿 🐡

Soup LOVES when a bug appears, but she constantly loses track of them. So I have to continuously point to them and verbally encourage her to not just watch them like TV by saying a stream of “Get it!” And “Go Soup!”
