Vent art, been having a really rough time lately. Please please don’t tag as shipping!
Oh, and thanks so much for 1,000 notes on Take Back the Falls!! Totally blows my mind. :D
Fantober day 3: Hugs!
Two huggable critters combine their powers
Late again lol, I've got no excuse this time but I'm choosing to blame Pim's weird head being hard to draw
Grief is a hole in the chest
Hi there! A couple years back I compiled a massive folder of all the bat species in the world* in photographs for quick visual reference. I feel I should share it in hopes that it can help someone like it has me and save them a lot of time looking up ambiguous search terms such as "bat species" or trying to find photographs of obscure ones.
This database contains:
Sub-folders labelled after families (vesper bats, megabats, etc.) for easier sorting
A-Z sorted photographs of all the documented species in the world*
A little text document telling of the best places to find more photographs and/or info about the species
Photographs include professional-grade shots, scientific illustrations, fieldwork photographs, headshots, wingspans, skeletons, skulls, foot details, and comparison shots between species
All files are downloadable, including the folder itself which you can get as a .zip
Some of these photographs are very obscure and needed to be dug out of the farthest corners of the ‘net. This was a passion project of mine in order to give myself an easy-to-access art resource to better understand these animals and their incredible diversity. I hope you can find some use of this, as well!
Enjoy, bat nerds! If there's anything wrong, please don't hesitate to contact me. I've worked like crazy to put this together and I want only the best for it!
Quick disclaimer:
Nothing here belongs to me, all of these images were found using Google Images and this is meant to be nothing more than a database/directory for anatomical reference. If you plan on reusing them, please reverse image search the original image and ask for permission from the rightful owner(s) as necessary. Photography is an art just like anything else, and it ain't cool to steal! Thank you. <3
*Some species have only been documented in writing and therefore do not have readily-available photographs of them on the internet. This database was compiled by going through the list of documented species and finding photographs of them when I could; there are even more species than those listed in this folder!
Secret Santa gift for my buddy Gingler on Toyhouse! I'm pretty happy with it even though I impulsively did line art again >:P I looked at so many thalassophobia images I love their vibes so much. Hope you all had a nice holiday!
Happy Valentine's Day! Have more of the immortal triangle crack ship. I like to think that YV is just a genuinely nice guy to his loved ones and Bill doesn't at all deserve him. I've got a lot of headcanons actually feel free to send me an ask if you wanna know more or have any burning questions ;) ;) ;)
And yes that is the actual surface of Venus. I think it's beautiful and Bill needs to stop drinking so much haterade 🙄
He has trouble expressing affection
It's pretty obvious to everyone around them that Kaput's "list of people I don't hate" starts and ends with Zösky. Zoobooboo is probably just trying to put him in an uncomfortable situation on purpose 'cause she's a jerk
“The Mabel Treatment”, 2020
Was looking through my DeviantArt and people seemed to really like this one (I am people also), so here’s a reupload on a website that isn’t totally dead! Original description under the cut :)
“It's ya girl back with another limited palette piece cause it's been a while since I tried one and my inspiration doc is getting real gummed-up
Based off a sketch a did a while ago, I love these two. This old nerd could really use some Mabel pampering to help along with the healing process.
Original sketch involved her having painted his nails as well but it didn't look right in the limited palette, maybe next time </3
Oh, and speaking of which, I love this palette! I wasn't sure how it'd go at first but it's really nice and cozy, perfect for this scene.
Randomized prompt:
Character(s): Ford, Mabel (added Waddles too just cause) Keyword: brush Tone: sweet Palette: sheet 3, 78 / F60″
It’s that time of the year again!!!
I'm really proud of my progress in 2021, I've become a lot less afraid of painting compared to the past couple, and it's all thanks to sacrificing hyper-detailed pieces for ones that only have what they really need. Happy soon-to-be NYE and screw covid! :D <3

Some painting practice with one of my characters ‘cause it’s been a while. Not finished and probably never will be, but I like it anyway! Hope you do too. :D
