The Goose Overlord have accepted me to join the goose gang. But it said I have to wear the goose head all the time, and they help me with boss fight sounds like a win win for me 😂

I gotta say it doesn’t seem fair that Australia gets fancy #pigeons, even.

This is a Common Bronzewing Pigeon, decided to paint some #birdArt for #birbFest2026 since I didn’t get to finish BirdTober.

#DigitalArt painted by hand in #Procreate.
A digital painting of a common Bronzewing pigeon from Australia with its wings spread and lifted. It has a mostly gray feathered body, with a lilac and blue toned neck, white and gold at the chin and around its eyes, and a brown cap. The underside of its wings has bronze brown feathers, and the back insides of its wings show surprising rainbow highlights from yellow orange, through green, blue and navy. The pinfeathers of the wings are tipped in a darker gray.

Some doodles of some little characters from the Flowerpunk universe. They are a species known as a yes-yes, considered to be one of the most optimistic of all magical creatures. Blimey is the father, Crikey the mother and Cor is their son.

#Flowerpunk #Art
Six doodles of the characters Blimey, Crikey and Cor. They are small, grey and white creatures that look like a cross between a pig and a rabbit. Doodle 1 - Blimey looking startled. Doodle 2 - Blimey, Crikey and Cor carrying a torch up a slope. Doodle 3 - Blimey running. Doodle 4 - Blimey and Crikey cuddling Cor. Doodle 5 - A human hand (belonging to Ludwig) stroking Blimey's head. Doodle 6 - Blimey in a forest reaching for a berry.

I choose to take this as a positive omen.

Just for fun today I drew a bark beetle on bark! #invertefest #invert
Photo of a hand holding a piece of tree bark, on which is drawn a rather hairy beetle using ink with white highlights, labeled BARK BEETLE.

Hello, new followers - here's some of my Little Guys paintings 👁️‍🗨️
#art #artpost #traditionalart #painting
Gouache painting of a stone lantern in front of a house surrounded by a few small trees, rocks, and foliage. Two small black blobs with white eyes are peeking out from inside the lantern. Two Little Guys (small black blobs with white eyes) crawling out of the ditch at an abandoned rail crossing. An orange and black striped caution barricade at the left side of the composition warns of the sharp ditch drop off. An acrylic painting of a dead tree stump, split down the center into several pieces. Two small black blobs with eyes are peeking out and looking at the viewer from behind one of these pieces - one is leaning out the top at the right, and the other is crawling on the ground at the left. The stump is surrounded by rocks and sparse green foliage. A gouache painting of several tall deciduous trees in a park. There are two small creatures, black blobs with white eyes, peering out at the viewer from behind two trees - one is in the foreground just off center and the other is in the background on the right side.

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 As such, I'm required to provide photos of insects wearing Santa hats.

Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you have a wonderful day!
A female scorpionfly sits on the leaf covered ground with a tiny Santa hat on her head. A metallic blue fly sits on a leaf with a Santa hat on. A red bush cricket sits among the plants with a Santa hat on. A green sharpshooter leafhopper sits on a leaf with a Santa hat on.

Reposting this older Christmas classic - Santa Habronattus! A tiny little guy perched on a Christmas ornament, with his bushy white beard and Santa Claus colors.

Male H. pyrrithrix on a red christmas ornament. He has lots of fuzz and big cute eyes and the white bristles on his pedipalps are like a fluffy Santa Claus beard.

Watercolour painting of a bunch of white bunnies around a glass of whipped cream matcha boba with strawberries, on a light green background. Two of the bunnies are climbing a rose gold metal straw poking out of the whipped cream on top, most of the others are just chilling, except one who is in the air, mid leap. Tea leaves and strawberries are scattered around the scene

Three Time the Chaos!

A character design commission for the wonderful @shhasum.bsky.social of a three-headed chicken! Two silly hen heads and one patient rooster head!

I'll be adding a background later and turning this into a print :>

The last one for Art Advent Calendar. I painted this a few years ago on a circular board. Hares still remain my favourite animal, and this one seemed appropriate for this time of year.

Canada Goose Barbarian was first class/animal combo that I decided on, lol.
#Goose #Barbarian #D&D #ArtAdventCalendar #yrglart
A drawing in a style inspired by Medieval Illuminated Manuscript Illustration. It depicts a Canada Goose dressed as a Barbarian from Dungeons and Dragons. It is wearing two leather shoulder guards with pale fur trim. It is holding a rusty battle axe in each wing, and they are crossed below its body as it hisses in fury and rage. The background is patterned like old parchment paper.

Perform empathy. Please. Perform the fuck out of it. It's so good to act with kindness. I hope it penetrates to a place where you feel it, too, but if you must act some way, act the right way. I'm not here to judge your authenticity, I just want you to be kind, thoughtful, and mortified by meanness.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 20:

Remember this iconic astronaut boot print from the moon? 🌕

I recreated the boot's sole in silver.

To go full circle, I then traveled to Florida (2022) and made this imprint on the beach close to the Kennedy Space Center, where Apollo 11 launched from 🚀

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.

Incredible words.
