Fantasy artist, cook. Frog and Bug Witch. Anxiety riddled forest creature. They/She/It

Most of my art is pretty mild but sometimes there's a little body horror or like a boob or something

Hey! I'm Teal. I'm a fantasy artist mostly working in traditional media, but sometimes I do a little digital art.

a watercolor painting featuring large floral creatures inspecting a girl in a pink dress. many other creatures hide in the foliage. a watercolor painting of a softly colored green and pink faerie with semi abstract wings and frills. digital drawing of a plant that reanimates corpses. pencil drawing of a dragon bust. it's very spikey and toothy.

Phrictus quinquepartitus is what I'd call the dragon-headed lantern bug with the multiple tubercles lining its snout, or apical process.

🚨HAPPY EXPLODING WHALE DAY🚨

1/n

www.oregonlive.com/travel/2024/...
Color image of a beach with ocean in background, sand foreground, some grassy cover in right lower corner. The sky seems clear-ish. In mid-ground near beach-water interface is a large explosion in sandy colors and also some red where untrained jackasses have used too much, and wrongly placed, dynamite in an effort to obliterate a rotting whale carcass. Rotting whale proceeded to rain upon the watching crowd and no one was injured. It is glorious.

Big solar flare today! Aurora might be pretty good over the next couple nights if you can get a clear sky
