Artwork Revenge for Gryphon982 during Art Fight 2024.

Shows a gryphon with taloned front and back feet. They are a mixture of paler brown and dark brown with banded and tiger like stripes with larger dark bands on the wings, head and tail, red feathering on cheeks, down the neck and along the tail until the red tuft and white underside. They have a yellow beak and green eyes.

On the right is a Bumble Cat. They are persian like in fluffiness matching a bees yellow and black striping and a white tail tip. They have antaee, two sets of visible paws and wings. They are tapping a feather toy being held for them.

Background is a pale of light green ovals on a plain olive green background.

Artwork Revenge for Acrobetia during Art Fight 2023.

Artwork depicts a four-horned black wool, long tailed sheep centaur with white ears in a half standing half hovering position on her rearmost legs. She is wearing various golden ribbons and beads including three sets of bells over her wool and plain green dress that drapes down her back. On the right of her is an image of a old style wheel crossed with a ship's wheel. On the left is the life cycle of a rabbit going from newly born to adult to skeleton and then a green ghost shape held between her hooved hands.

This image features a bird like skull with higher nasal ridges, a double pointed crown and an additional four eye like shapes above the brow and the forehead. From the upper left and right sprout two wooden antlers covered in moss which have a pair of leaves in between. In the middle below the wooden pair is another set which are bone like and covered in thin rope. Below reflected on both sides is two shards of ice and three black feathers.

The image shows a chimera made of multiple elements called a Notalope. He has a crocodile head with boar tusks, blue eyes, white rabbit ears and roe deer antlers. His head and neck are covered in brown giraffe like patterning over yellow and his neck has a yellow scruff mane like a giraffe. The forearms are structured for walking on down to three toes at the end with feathers that are clearly not designed for flight. The body is an orange base with brown tiger stripes and white stomach. The hind legs being deer like in structure and at the ankle the patterning changes to yellow instead of orange ending with yellow hooves. There is a running tuft of fur going down the hips into a yellow and browned striped tail than is reminiscent of a ring-tailed lemur with more of a point at the end.

I'll always remember one workplace I was at, the fire alarms and lights were tested every couple of weeks? Anytime something got repaired was a great surprise to everybody. Always run by people happy to hoover money, mock their tenants and generally let people rot.

Shoutout to bluesky that lets me see the above when quoted and in the discord preview but suddenly remembers I'm in the UK on the direct.

This is a GLORIOUS find.

Honestly if it's as funny as the era when Wrath derived pets appeared as cubes to those who hadn't upgraded yet I'll take it.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Okay britpol is none of my business but this attitude fills me with incandescent rage

Rachel Reeves’ words about environmental delays to a housing development: “ She described the planning blockage as being due to "some snails on the site that are a protected species or something", adding:
"They are microscopic snails that you cannot even see, and they haven't been able to build there." The chancellor appeared to be referring to the little whirlpool ramshorn snail, which is 5mm in diameter, and one of the rarest creatures in Britain. It is an indicator of clean rivers and ponds…”

Just waiting for the free shipping to return but thanks to @kyuofcosmic.bsky.social I'll be able to replace my busted headphones soon! This was a sketch I did of Kimbo in... 2022. What do you mean it was three years ago. Time stop that.

Digital sketch of Kimbo for Kyu! They are a wolf chimera-y thing so start with an antlered wolf, a long lizard tongue, fur devolving into a harder scale texture starting from shrinking circles following the roundness of the ribcage to plate spines at the best of the long tail which curves like a scorpion and ends in a three pronged blade. Just very stylish. Also their eyes are bright yellow.
