I FUCKEN FINISHED!!! As always, it took me 2 months, but I got there in the end.

The final illustration of a pink silkmoth with beige and brown upper wings and vibrant pink lower wings. Oh, and an incredibly fluffy body.

A close up showing the detail of the furry wings.

A cozy medieval tavern interior, lit by the warm glow of a fireplace. A wooden mug and a fruit bowl with grapes and an apple sit on a dark wooden table in the foreground. Behind them, a stone hearth with a hanging cauldron glows with firelight. Banners hang on the stone wall, and a bench with a white pillow invites rest. The scene feels calm, welcoming, and slightly magical

Digital painting by Nimiszu of a frozen lake with tall, snow-covered coniferous trees on a little island. Mountains can be seen in the distance and wispy, fluffy pink and aqua clouds in the blue sky.

A digital illustration depicting a lonely house amidst russet grass fields, framed by grey mountains behind. Abstract, swirly clouds roll over the hills and the fog settles like a blanket around the little house and over the fields. A path runs from the viewer into the frame, winding past the house and disappearing into the hills.

This is not a drill, a mummified sabretooth cat has been published from the #Pleistocene permafrost of Russia. It's a Homotherium cub! The team (Lopatin et al.) reckon it's Homotherium latidens. It's too young to have enlarged upper canines. Paper is OA ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... cont...

Reminder to my artist friends that this awesome site exists. It lets you pick a species of animal, set the orientation of the skull, and then search for pictures of that animal that match the skull position.

Also, consider tipping the creator if you found it useful!
