I work in an exhibit with live spiders, and I think I have lost count how often people misheard "green lynx spider" as "green link spider"...
Two illustrations of a green lynx spider (green spider with two bigger forward facing eyes and lighter colored legs) stacked on top of one another. The one on top is labeled "Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia viridans)", the actual name of the spider. The one below is wearing a green, pointy hat, carrying a blue shield and sword drawn to look like the Hylian shield and Master sword from the "Legend of Zelda", series and is labeled "Green Link Spider (Peucetia hylia)".

The fees thing reminds me but iirc mentioning in your commission info something like "I will charge an extra x% due to PayPal's fees" is also against ToS so someone could get you in trouble if they wanted to. I see that a lot.

((If I am misreading this lmk though)

www.paypal.com/nz/legalhub/...
No surcharges You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions.

Rephrasing for clarity, but please do not use F&F (even blank ones) for commission payments; this is and ALWAYS HAS BEEN against ToS.

If you're getting paid for a service, use invoices.

F&F has no protections in place, especially for buyers, and using it to bypass fees is, again, against site ToS.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

I've started a new (written) DnD campaign and despite having barely started, I'm already so unwell about it.
Here's our /extremely normal/ party...hence the hashtag for them: #TheCuriosities

Oh my god! I once had one of those guys (but a smaller one) on the wall of my room. I remember looking at it from afar like "okay what the hell is that now" 😂 i then figured it out thanks to inaturalist, but it's wild!

Would you believe this spindly guy is an assassin bug? I picked him up initially thinking he was a phasmid…then I got a closer look at the face and saw the rostrum, and the raptorial forelimbs started to make sense! He's a member of emesinae, a reduviid subfamily I didn't know about before!

02 magic

#CastorArt #OC-tober #CastorOCs

The web is a matrix that channels energy towards its center. Typically, spells will be inscribed along the web to affect a purpose to it, but a blank web can simply be used to charge energy into a person, typically with the purpose of facilitating healing.
A drawing of a typical orbweaver web, concentric circles converging towards a person in the middle. You can see magic accumulating towards the center of the web in the form of small sparkles.

03 forest

#CastorArt #OC-tober #CastorOCs

The Moth God is a keeper of secrets first and foremost, but he also acts as a guide, leading people to those secrets, or away from them.
Digital drawing of a forest. It is mossy green, open and inviting, the sun shining through the canopy. Branches from some trees outline a presence, or perhaps an absence? A prometheus moth sits at the apex of those branches.

#CastorArt #OC-tober #CastorOCs

Empty halls, silent rooms, closed doors. Nothing but the void, not even regret. Nothing but the void, the void, the bottomless void.
Drawing of a young man sitting on the floor, smoking a pipe and looking angry, or restless, or both. The smoke flows all around him, filling the space, outlining the ghosts of his family haunting him.

04 journey

#CastorArt #OC-tober #CastorOCs

It used to be tradition in some Spider clans to have young adults journey alone for a few months, prove they can survive on their own and navigate the dangers of the world.
Orion told herself, "this is just like that. I'll be fine".
Digital drawing of a person with a backpack standing in the grass near a river, her long hair flowing in the wind. There's hills in the background, behind the grassy valley. The drawing is in a simple style, just lines and one light green square to define the edges of it.

05 fire

#CastorArt #OC-tober #CastorOCs

Fire magic is generally regarded as an outlier, due to its destructive nature, ast he only element that affects the world by devouring matter. Many fire mages meet their end at the very hand of the force they claimed to control.
A digital drawing of a man extending a hand outwards, fire dancing in the palm of it, flashing in front of his face. You can only see his smile.

#CastorArt #OC-tober #CastorOCs

(no text this time, i'm tired and uninspired)
Simple drawing of a man, cut off at the bust. He is wearing gloves and a headpiece that covers his shoulders. He is holding a golden mask with one hand, like he just took it off. His face is blank, devoid of any features.

08 scar

#CastorArt #OC-tober #CastorOCs
A digital drawing, headshot of a man, his eyes closed, mouth slightly open, relaxed. A scar on his face, a thin line across the brow and cheekbone, narrowly missing the eye, is blossoming with blue flowers.

01 beginning

Gaia the earth goddess. She is believed to be so old she has seen the very beginning of Fae History. Some say she might have been the original creator.

#CastorArt #OC-tober #CastorOCs
Drawing of a centipede-woman, her entire body covered in a chitinous carapace, her face hidden by a helmet-like structure. She is holding a single blue spark between her hands, and her long segmented body curls around itself in a protective manner.

09 armor

#CastorArt #OC-tober #CastorOCs

Like all Higher Beings, Hemera has worn many different forms, but the armor is always a defining feature, the Beetle God's ability to reflect the light as well as blows.
Drawing of a man in spiky but glossy armor, reminiscent of a beetle's shiny shell. His face is hidden under a helmet save for the mouth. He has 4 arms and is holding up a sword with a jagged edge.

Been super mega busy last week making ALL OF THESE BUG PLUSHIES!!!
This is the most I've made in one week (and it definitely did not aggravate my wrist)

#plush #plushart #insects #sciArt 🪲🦐
Two spider plushies sitting on a bush. One is based off a red knee tarantula and the other off a peacock jumping spider. 6 shrimp plushies arranged in a half circle on a green. They're all in different colours: green, pink, yellow, beige, blue and orange. 4 centipede plushies sitting on a bush. Each one a different colour combo: albino, red and black, grey and purple, red and orange. 4 beetle plushies arranged in a line on a bush. There's two hercules in orange-brown and red-ble, and two elephants in grey-purple and albino.
