I need to learn how to make it more pig/hippo-like :|
but I sort of like how there's a kind of tacit consent in most images to make it this range of colors

I was suddenly inspired yesterday night and I made myself a tiny tiger charm with shrink plastic. Figuring out what pens and markers work best is no small feat 🥲

Cervus elaphus/red deer. I'm especially proud of this one, for once after 1+ years of watercolor classes I felt in control of what I was doing (ok, except for the tree shapes in the back, maybe the paper was a little too wet 😅)

Reply with a piece of palaeoart that deeply influenced you as a child.
Does video media count? Because this is it for most Italians, hands down.

So I still wanted to try my hand at the last subject of the paleoart workshop I attented back in November, which was Amphimachairodus giganteus. I've been doing some sketches to explore but I'm very insecure with this animal😅

It was just a random sketch I referenced from some photo, no special planning, hence the pointless pose 😅

Someone needs to teach me how to properly scan and edit scans with real media. I've done none for so long I don't know anymore 😩

Boreal owl. I drew this with a grid which is something I never to and I was curious to try for a change. Inked with fineliners

I wanted to do a few more for #Dinovember2025 but alas, November fled
This is supposedly bruhathkayosaurus, which I picked for the sole reason that once I read it very convincingly as bruhthankyousaurus, multiple times.
Pose vaguely inspired by Gertie

I kept forgetting to take a photo... I made some shrinky dinks!
They are fun! I even had some friends over one day and we had a shrinky dink party day as if we were 8yo!
(triggerfish is a magnet, noAI is a pin I keep on my jacket)

For #SundayFishSketch I sketched a couple opah, which I know everybody did a while ago but I missed out and really wanted to draw some too
Today I colored one. See people, I used the markers! 🙌

Who hasn't seen these in a while? In lack of anything better to do, I tried them all and they still work! These are...20... years old 😶
Does this make me good (kept them in good shape) or bad (haven't used them) at hoarding art materials

How to say no to the opportunity to draw more weirdo creatures!
It doesn't fit into #dinovember properly but it's still a cool animal so I'll still mention the hashtag 😤
