"But I have impostor syndrome"
You know what? Me too. I'm 35, been doing this forever, 100% of my money comes from art. I still second, triple, quadruple guess my decisions.
Sometimes you gotta kick that doubt in the butt and just do it. You're not as bad as your brain makes you think.

Day 6 of posting one invertebrate themed #mtg card for #invertefest !
Today it's the elusive and mysterious Man-o'-war. Named after its real life counterpart, and like many other jellyfish in Magic, has a blink ability!

Apologies for missing a day, I was beset by the horrors. But we are back at it with day 5 of posting an invertebrate themed #mtg card every day for #invertefest! And, to make up for the lost day, you get TWO evil phyrexian mosquitoes.

Day 2 of posting one invertebrate-themed magic card for #invertefest :
Today's card is Luminous Broodmoth. There's a theme among butterfly/caterpillar creatures - they often have transformative abilities, reflecting dramatic change that is insect metamorphosis.

This #invertefest I'm going to highlight one invertebrate-themed magic: the gathering card and share some fun facts.
Day 1: Scute Swarm! The iconic card that multiplies itself, mimicking an insect swarm.
I think my highest number of scutes in a game was ~20.

at some point we'll learn that magic made a fuckoff device in the basement or whatever, and that'll be the end of my time with it. maybe it's already happened. maybe we're all fools for thinking this can be avoided in the long run.

An (ecto)parasitic #Crustmas. This is Dolops (above), which swims around and attaches to fishes (below), but unlike its relative Argulus, which has suckers, it has hooks to hold on. Also, is bizarrely cute!

I think i need a moment to go scream in the woods, actually
Can't really go into detail at this stage because we are going to get it submitted at some point but i'm particularly troubled by the fact that the models tested actually didn't make up references in general, but directed the user to actual, existing "race science" papers 🫠

Have you ever seen a baby gar eating?
This little Spotted Gar is about a week old and has started feeding on zooplankton (in this case brine shrimp/Artemia/ aka "sea monkeys").

There are so many immensely talented paleoartists and scientific illustrators this cover could have been done by. Disgraceful for a journal to go with bad AI images instead.
