Tiger Swallowtail And A Strand Of Its DNA.

A tiger swallowtail butterfly. It is mostly yellow with black veins and blue detailing on the lower wings. A light pink DNA double helix spirals out from the butterfly's tails. Yellow bases (thymine) are paired with green bases (adenine). Blue bases (guanine) are paired with orange ones (cytosine). Bases are bonded with silver hydrogen bonds. The background is purple with a lavender hexagonal lattice.

A Water Color Snail. They Are A Cuban Painted Snail. Their Name Is Sheldrake. Might Make Some Snails

A water color snail. They are a Cuban painted snail. Their name is Sheldrake. Might make some snails for sale if they become popular. 

Image Id: A snail on a light, warm gray background. The snail’s head has two gray eyestalks and one small gray tentacles. The head is red on top, orange in the middle, and yellow on the bottom. The center of the spiral is white. As it moves out it becomes yellow, then green, then white again. Then it shifts to dark brown, to brown and orange and finally to red and yellow.

A young girl stands in a green field holding up a lantern. Her brown cat ears are pinned back against her spiky, shoulder length brown hair. A purple cloak wraps her shoulders and its end billows just above her knees. Her brown pants are rolled up above brown boots with black soles. Her long-sleeved shirt is green with gold x's embroidered at the wrists. Rising above the pines in front of her is a large dark blue cat with black ear tufts and white fur in her ears. Her eyes are two yellow moons. Her nose is black. A large star marks her forehead, and smaller stars stud her whole coat. The moon hangs between her ears in the dusk sky. Two dark green pines in the foreground frame the scene.

This is the story of a little girl looking for the mother she has never known. The story of a world of gods and a world of men, and the child caught between them. Zine coming soon.

We Love An Alien Ecosystem In This House. We Also Love Giving Deer Spine Spikes To Defend Against Big

We love an alien ecosystem in this house. We also love giving deer spine spikes to defend against big birds and making fungi trees will bioluminescent spore pods. Image Id under keep reading.

Image Id: An astronaut in a pale blue space suit sits beneath a dark green tree with heavily textured bark. At its base, same green shoots point up towards the astronaut and the branches which have glowing oblong blue pods at their tips. The astronaut has black boots, pants with pockets on inner and outer calf and thigh, and a gray belt with many pouches. Attached to the belt is a knife in a black sheath. She wears a gray oxygen tank like a backpack and  gray tube threads into a hole on the chest of her suit. Her helmet screws into her suit in a gray ring at the neck. It is stylized with an ear level blue circle that is surrounded by a gray ring with a stem that connects to a triangle at the based of the helmet. There’s a blue patch on her shoulder. Brown hair frames her smiling face, eyes wide with delight and wonder. She reaches with a black glove with gray bending fingers and a blue stripe across the back towards blue floating glowing spores. The background is a field of red grass beneath a dark blue sky with a flush of yellow at the bottom. The blue is filled with stars the same color as the spores. A herd of strange deer with spines on their back graze in the distance. One looks at the camera. One walks towards the left. One eats with its head buried in the grass. Beneath the stars their is a city  of green and blue cylindrical buildings with rounded tops and spherical protrusions. The lights in the windows are blue like the spores and stars. Orange lights hover in the sky. A translucent blue dome with a hexagonal pattern near the top surrounds the city. /End Id

About 70 Days Ago I Commented On @astro-axolotl 's Watercolour Snail Saying I Wish I Could Get The Watercolours

About 70 days ago I commented on @astro-axolotl 's watercolour snail saying I wish I could get the watercolours out and paint a snail myself. I haven't painted in months. I haven't posted art here in maybe a year. I haven't painted a snail ever.

Here's my snail

A bathroom with a shower with blue and white checkerboard tiles and a blue tub. The floor has the same tiles and a fluffy pink bath mat. A towel bar on the right wall are two pink towels. A woman stands next to the bar wearing one white towel around her body and one on her head. She holds back the shower curtain to reveal two giant goldfish. The lower one is blue and the upper one is red. Their eyes are shiny gold.  A tall window shows a blue sky with clouds.

One day I will stop putting sea creatures inside but today is not that day.

I Always Seem To Come Back To Stand Still Stay Silent. Lalli’s My Fave, So I Made A Lil Art Piece. 

I always seem to come back to stand still stay silent. Lalli’s my fave, so I made a lil art piece. 

Image Id: Full body of Lalli from stand still stay silent in his uniform from adventure 1. He’s holding a small knife in front of his face with his right hand. His left is down by his side, glowing with red mage magic. 3 trees and a purple, twilight sky are behind him. At his feet the snow is trampled. Around his is a ring of blood splatters.

Boyfriend Drawing Time : ). He Likes Flowers.

Boyfriend drawing time : ). He likes flowers.

Image Id: An Indian man looks over his shoulder with one eye brow raised and a half smile. Messy strands of black hair and one strand of silver hair hangs in his face. He has a crown braid with various flowers (larkspur, mountain aster, wild rose, baby’s breath, and one lily) woven into it. The sunshine hits and the side of his face looking towards the camera. Behind him, a wild green bush rises into the blue sky.
