Character Concept Art: Myrem Tida Leontix (sci-fi design) Digitally rendered art of a middle-aged woman in science fiction themed formal attire. She is posed standing forward with her weight shifted onto one foot, while the other is trailing behind her, as if she has just paused in a step. Her eyes are fixated on an orange hologram hovering in front of her right hand (viewer's left). The other hand, to her opposite side, hovers before another smaller hologram. Both holograms are filled with text and diagrams of machinery. Her hair is red, and held up in a braided military hairstyle. A brown streak runs through one of the side braids, and into the bun at the base of her head, where the hair is collected. A tattoo of an antlion covers her left eye (viewer's right), and her irises are seafoam green. She has faint freckles scattered across her face, which is pinched in a concentrated position. Her fingernails are painted metallic copper. The woman wears a choker made of dark strips of leather-like material, and wears a full-body suit of a pale tan color. It is skin-tight, and has long sleeves that cover her hands, but not her fingers, much like fingerless gloves. The suit is patterned with elongate bilaterally symmetrical trapezoids of a shiny, reflective glaze. The legs of the suit disappear into knee-high boots of purple and orange fabric, with the toes and outsoles consisting of the same coppery metal as her fingernail coatings. Rows of square buttons made of the metal line the front of the boots in double rows. A dress-like coat made from layered brown and cyan fabric is worn over the suit as well. It is somewhat similar to a trench coat, and is bound at her waist with a thick copper belt. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social.

May I be added to the starter pack? 👉👈

I create many original characters, most of which are monster characters. Here are just a few. (I also draw some scenic illustrations, but most of my art is the monsters)

Congratulations on 1.8k as well! 🎉

They have long necks with a single rotating joint in the middle, and metallic masks that look like women's faces form their heads. The jaw of these masks is open, and a flamethrower protrudes from Rage's mouth, while a sonic pulse weapon sits in Sorrow's. Bird-like wings made of metal feathers sprout from their backs, and a shawl-like fabric covering that flaps in the wind is fastened to both pairs of wings. Both harpies sport a long, snake-like tail. Sorrow's is tipped with a blade, and Rage's ends in a tube that belches smoke. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social. Creature Concept: Baldhart the Black Flame (fire dragon) A black dragon with a dull red head, neck, and chest faces left. It stands on a bluish mirror-like surface that is lit up with streaks of blue light. Its wings are a purplish tag color, and huge compared with the rest of its body. Its tail is also elongate, and is patterned with rows of spiky barbs that can also be found on its neck. 3 pairs of horns grow from its head, two on the top, and one that curves around like a tusk on the back of its jaw. A short beard of black fur grows from the bottom of its head, longest under the tip of the chin. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social.

Thanks for hosting! 💚

I don't have any sapphic art, but I do have some female OCs and monsters.

Intro: I am a creator of fantasy & sci-fi illustration, all digital. Lots of it involves dragons, and most of it is creature concept art. 🐉

Her mouth is open in a scream, and black oil is sloshing out of it while neon magenta flames streak from her eyes, which are weeping tears of similar oil. Her entire head is medusa-like, and her scalp is ringed by mechanical snakes whose heads all point in the direction her khopesh is raised. Their mouths are opened to reveal firing gun barrels mounted in their throats. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social.

I've not found any "perfect" solution as most wireless mics use bluetooth which have pretty poor audio.

However, the best quality I've been able to get is a wired (usb) Modmic from Antlion, attached to the headset. Not as good as a proper mic, but infinitely better than the headset's

Corroboree cicada (Macrotristria intersecta) Giant golden orb-weaver (Nephila pilipes) (female) Clockwise from top left: an adult antlion, possibly Heoclisis fundata; rhinoceros beetle (Xylotrupes australicus); unidentified grasshopper species; Lactura erythractis.

【今日の英語】 antlion. アリ＋ライオンというのはいわゆる「アリジゴク」（すり鉢状の巣を作るあの虫の成虫あるいは幼虫）のこと。姿形は成虫も幼虫も全然ライオンっぽくないですが、ライオンみたいな捕食者ということらしいです。

this was one of those shiny paper notebooks, but i mod podged (white wood glue, diluted) the rough brown packing paper that usually gets crumpled for stability in packaging, and then started putting stickers on it

(also I feel ya, I got AI slop slippers which I really can't do anything with)
a notebook covered in a rough brown paper surface, and a checkerboard washi tape on the corners, covered in stickers: an antlion saying ANTS ANTS ANTS a mosquito redraw of the "this is fine" meme a mosquito sitting confused at her laptop an insertion, deletion, substitution sticker a long eared owl a sticker from our etsy shop of a mosquito in a labcoat, text says "The introvertebrates, science arts & crafts, by fiona & petra"

Then that we disagree on. I'm familiar with that literature and that's my conclusion. Does a sand-throwing antlion use the same cognitive abilities as a screwdriver-using human? I think the underlying cognition of these tool-use behaviours are vastly different.

For those unaware, one of my teams just released a huge update to our project, RTBR.

These are from the antlion caves, and I can proudly say I made (almost) all of the models in these shots. This was the result of ~2 years of work. I am so proud of the team, and myself for what we all did here.

WIP (work in progress) of a new sci-fi character design.

#OC #OCart #SciFiArt #Art #DigitialArt
WIP bust of an unfinished character design. Digital illustration of a red-headed woman with a brown streak in her hair facing left relative to the viewer. Her hair is put up in 3 tight braids against her head, and they converge in a bun-like knot at the base of her head. She wears a choker made of dark leather-like material, as well as a collared coat overtop of a pale brown suit with shiny rectangle patterns. On each side of the coat's collar, there are 4 shiny stripes of metallic material. Her eyes are a pale bluish green, and over her left eye (viewer's right) there is a tattoo of a mature male antlion.

In this week's episode of Half-Life 2, Dr. Breen has finally found the one thing that can stop Gordon Freeman- an army of Cubbage clones.
A squad of evil Cubbage clones, including a shotgunner Cubbage, storms the Rebel-occupied Overwatch Nexus. Two prison guard Cubbages fend off an antlion assault on the beach during the attack on Nova Prospekt, probably having a discussion about using the RPG's laser guide in the process. A trio of Combine Cubbages (...a Combine Cubbage. That's like, a Cubbine, right? Cubbine, get it? ...ehhhh, okay) defend an outpost by the bridge in Highway 17. A Cubbage (Cubbine?) Elite fires his AR2 at Gordon Freeman off-screen, while presumably talking about the proper technique for taking down gunships.

Exploring the concept of a truesona by making an antlion fursona for myself and adding some features that reflect how I am irl - here he is! Doesn’t have a name yet, but pronouns are she/he. Flies at u clumsily :3
#furryart #ocart #refsheet #antlion #bug #insect
Refsheet of my antlion fursona with notes on anatomy details. Image text: “Palps are tongue plus lower jaw. No eyelids, pupils/ommatidia show expression. Accurate to IRL antlions except the star. Note-shaped birthmark. Click beetle lives in hole near left knee. Phoretic mites live on thighs. Simple eye palette? IDK. Bald mode: crack in integument (migraines)”
