Asiatic Rhinoceros Beetle (Female)

7/20/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
    This is a drawing I did a while back of a female Asiatic Rhinoceros Beetle. Rhinoceros Beetles are part of the Scarab family. Asiatic Rhino Beetles eat the fronds and shoots of developing palm trees in tropical Asia and Pacific islands. They also feed on dead and decaying plant matter. The males have longer horns than the females, and they use those horns to fight each other for mating rights. The females just chill.
       Sometimes they are kept as pets, and a lot of other times they are pests. As stowaways, they make their ways to other countries and eat native and farmed plants. This can disrupt the balance of ecosystems if they get out of hand, like when nothing in the area wants to eat a bug like them and they can multiply without any natural control.


P.S.: Beetles don't have eyes like the way I drew, I made it look more 'vertebrate-ish' as a stylistic choice.

Ham the Grizzly Bear

7/17/2021

Picture
    Hey guys! This is my character Ham, a grizzly bear. Grizzly bears are a subspecies of brown bears and can be around eight feet tall standing on their hind legs and are [somewhat surprisingly] around three and a half feet tall on all fours. They're shorter than other brown bear subspecies. They're called grizzlies for the silver-tipped fur on their backs which give them a grizzled look. Their claws are two inches long at the minimum but can get longer than four. Like most bears, they are omnivorous and opportunists, meaning they would be inclined to eat whatever they can find. 
   I drew this guy on my first ever twitch stream! My chat helped me create an interesting backstory for him. Ham divorced his wife, Beef the polar bear, 32 years ago. They are still on good terms and are great friends- things simply just did not work out. When the divorce was settled, Ham moved out of Beef's bearpartment. The only food he brought with him in his car was a loaf of raisin bread. Ham hates raisin bread, and when he took a bite- he was filled with so much grief and disgust that he underwent mitosis! In the other seat next to him, sat Moh. Moh was everything annoying, rude, and boring about Ham. Ham ended up being so terrified that he crashed back into his ex's yard.
   To be continued!

Snarling Pink Dog

Picture
    Here's a more aggressive looking creature profile. I didn't use any reference with this one, so its quite strange in many ways. I actually got the idea for this from one of my dreams. In the dream I was drawing what looked basically like this, except it was a complete picture. It looked like a long dragon but much more canine-like, sort of like a ferret but long and with a dog head and pointy-out teeth. I swear this dog hasn't killed anyone, it was just eating fruit or vegemite or something. Scary anyways.

Want this dogge on a shirt? It is also on my Spreadshirt Shop at Irisbenjamina. I promise it won't come alive and eat you or all the vegemite in your house!

Fox with D20

1/27/2021

Picture
 This Eastern American Red Fox [Vulpes Vulpes Fulvus] sure seems happy to have found this 20-sided-die. Whether its good enough to play games with or not is up for debate. For one thing, it has no numbers. I'm also a bit concerned about it's bright glowing core. How did this fox find this d20 in the middle of a forest or grassland? Maybe he went into town to find some roadkill and saw it along the way.

   This fellow sure is cool! If you want him on a shirt, mug, sticker, or basically anything else I can slap him onto, check out my Spreadshirt shop! He'll be there!

Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog!

Tails is observing the title of this post. Did I spell something wrong?
   Hey guys! Here's my fanart of Tails from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Tails is a fox who is a very loyal friend, and a great mechanic. He has two tails which he can spin like helicopter blades. He's essentially an attack helicopter. Tails has had tons of varying designs over the years, but I decided to follow his design in the TV series Sonic Boom. I'm already drawing Sonic and some of Tails's other friends, so look out for that! :D

Anthro Rat!

   Here's Iritz, a rat character I made! It's a domestic rat. I really liked the design I made, so I decided that it would be my 'fursona' or an animal character that could represent me in comics and other drawings, like when I don't feel like drawing people. Although some might say that a fursona would be specifically for members of the furry fandom, I don't consider myself a furry. They're still pretty neat, though!
     I'll be posting more art soon. Seeya all later! :>

Paella the Pallas Cat

   Ello! This is Paella the Pallas Cat Girl, an anthro character I made. She likes dancing, feeding birds, and cooking. I drew her on paper and she didn't look quite like a pallas cat, but I was able to edit and refine the sketch in gimp. before creating the lineart and coloring her in. 
     Anyways, in real life, Pallas Cats or manuls are endangered in some countries, but are comepletely extinct in others! They get hunted for their fur and are captured and shipped haphazardly for the exotic pet trade (where they may not even be taken care of properly).

Veil Sixclaw the Decieving Brat! | Fanart of 'Outcast of Redwall'

8/3/2020

Picture
This is my artistic interpretation of Veil Sixclaw, the son of Swartt Sixclaw the ferret warlord. I won't give spoilers, but he tends to get away with a lot of bad stuff by acting cute and faking crying- which he can really pull off! He even tried to poison someone once and almost got away with it- aaAAAAA!! I'm giving spoilers! D:

Snifflehunch Dragon | HTTYD Fan-Art

   This is a Snifflehunch from How to Train your Dragon! I sculpted this fine fellow digitally in Sculptris a while back. This boi took a long time to make, and I'm very satisfied with the result. Thankfully, I used stamps and didn't have to scratch each scale in by hand. The trickiest part I found was the wings. I wonder how this guy could even take off with such a big body and such little wings. Still, I'm very happy with this sculpt! :D

Fruitfiles: 001 | Yellow Straightneck Squash

11/2/2019

0 Comments

 
  These charming Fruitifuzz are Yellow Straightneck Squashes. As with all fruitifuzz, they ate tons of their namesake fruits when they were hungry larvae, thus developing to resemble them.
   Having no claws and being chubby fuzzballs, they aren't adept at climbing. However, like other gourds, they have thick, rough paw pads and powerful mandibles. Being sturdy and strong, they can travel long distances and work for many hours without a sweat. Their mandibles are suited well for gnawing at tough vines and penetrating hard food, making them excellent farmers.
     Another fascinating ability they have is the peculiar skill of mimicking sounds just like a parrot! They can screech and squawk and imitate all sorts of sounds. They are very noisy and love to cause a giant ruckus, flapping their long wiry arm fur and knocking things over. You'll know when they're partying around when you hear them strumming on the burblebar, a little bamboo guitar-like instrument. In these squash festivals, it's a tradition to scream out your name at the very top of your lungs. Very noisy and not pleasant when you're trying to sleep, but these parties can be a blast!
     I hope y'all enjoyed this Fruitfile log! More fruitifuzz coming soon! See ya later! :3

Fabulous Rooster~

   The chicken-guilt is over for meee~ Here, I give to you, THE PROMISED CHICKEN! This is the fabled very-good-rooster that I drew a few months back. I'm sooo proud of him! He's even singing some sweet songs for us now.
    I drew him on paper, then loaded him up into GIMP and did the lineart and coloring.  I feel like I got all the rooster-y proportions right, and did the expression and hands very well. I feel so accomplished! >w<
   Well, thank you all for reading this! Cya later! Stay bundled up and warm, peeps!

What!? This isn't even close to a chicken!

Huehuehue... You thought I was gonna post about the chicken by now! *more evil screeching* This is Ratthew, a rat with a little bit of blue-jay bird in him. (see, tail feathers!) He has an affinity for books and memes, usually reading and viewing them every day. Besides that, he loves spending time in the outdoors, picking mushrooms and berries out in the forest. Sometimes he attaches pretty leaves or mushrooms to his circular earring. He also likes competing in maze races, for who could get to the end first. He's also friends with the chicken and rooster... Aah! Now I'm going to have to post about the chickens next post! Hmm... There's no way to troll you guys more now. I'm just gonna give in! Cya guys that post! =0w0=

A Cassowary!

10/12/2018

Picture
   Hey guys! I just came back from a school excursion, and interacting with the chickens there made me want to post, not about the chicken and the rooster I made, but of this cassowary! It's still a bird, so I guess it works! So, this is an anthropomorphic cassowary, as you can tell by the arms instead of wings. Anthropomorphic meaning showing human traits, features, or characteristics. I started to draw these birds, and I just couldn't stop! I'll post about the other ones soon. Cassowaries are not endangered or threatened, but they are vulnerable. Their population is declining a little bit, most likely from the loss of habitat. I hope that some day they will not be like other animals, with no habitat and people desperately trying to save them. Ah! I don't want any more animals going the way of the dodo. So, that's it!
Cya all later, peeps!

h0i! Here's a collage I made when I was five. It was actually my first collage! I was very happy with the result. I used various mediums to make it, like string, onion peels, crayon and pencil shavings, and plant matter. It was a good experiment, and I think I should make another soon! :3
I'll see y'all later! 0v0

This is the entry I made for another art contest, but I didn't win... again! :/ Meh, It's fine! Even if I didn't win It's still okay. Art contests, to me, are just very fun and it doesn't matter if you win or lose! It's just a part of life. I used colored markers and some pens to make this. It took half an hour, in estimate. Sorry about this being another short post, I got some math to do! Bye!

Pixelmator Art:  Carpsun & Featherfish

Hi friends! I've been learning to use PIXELMATOR.  It is a really nice drawing app that allows you to get creative. I've been learning sketching, shading and tints in my Art class and I tried to apply them in this artwork.
I like doing art using Pixelmator because  I don't have to get messy and clean up after. Ha! I'm still learning to use various tools that they have.  I'll try to screen capture my next project and post it on my Vlog. 

STAY HAPPY BLOGGERS! :)

This is a collage I made when I was 6 years old. I'm glad we took pics of it because now it's all dried up and not so colorful anymore. Anyway, I used the wilting flowers from our vase, onion peels, crayon and pencil shavings and colored pens to color some parts of the bugs. I also used yarns to outline the honeycomb, puppy and ardvark. 
HAPPY SPRINGTIME FRIENDS! :)
