Wondered why I donโt know any beautiful fish species off the top of my head so of course moseyed over to Google to help resolve this matter and now Iโm hypnotized by this image of fish scales that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service posted on Medium

"You can say that [orangutans] are not dependent on social support and approval, and if you admire this in them, that an orang is irredeemably his own person, 'the most poetic of the apes', researcher Lynn Miles told me once in an unguarded moments. What she had in mind was the difference between orangs and chimps in the way they carry on their discourse with the world.
Chimps are much admired for their tool use and for their problem-solving relationship with things as they find them...the orang is, let us say, not so replete with enterprise. Give an orangutan the hexagonal peg and the several shapes of hole, and then hide behind the two-way mirror and watch how he engages with the problem.
And watch and watch and watch--because he does not engage with the problem. He uses the peg to scratch his back, has a look-see at his right wrist, makes a half-hearted and soon abandoned attempt to use his fur as a macramรฉ project, stares dreamily out the window if there is one and at nothing in particular if not, and the sun begins to set. (The sun will also set if you are observing a chimp, but the chimp is more amusing, so you are less likely to mark the moment in your notes. An orang observer has plenty of time to be a student of the vanities of sunset.)
You watch, and the orang dreams...when casually and as if thinking of something else, the orang slips the hexagonal peg into the hexagonal hole. And continues staring off dreamily."
Vicki Hearne, "The Case of the Disobedient Orangutans"
#i haven't studied enough primatology to confirm this but it feels so so true#they're literally just vibing.

"I miss 2D animation, 3D is so lifeless!"
No, no - from an avid and avowed lifelong 2D animation lover - what you miss is stylization.
Something animated to be "hyperrealist" isn't appealing to me anymore because it all starts to look very... samey. It'll age.
But if you have a proper sense of your style...
