Probably last lil doodle of these two for the year- I wanted to make a backlog of stuff to upload over Christmas but work has been kicking my butt 😔 I'll resume the usual bullshittery in new years, but for now; enjoy the holidays y'all o/

goat! …goat are you /jk or /srs?

fun fact: i drew this way back when the only image we had of the goat was a teaser during the devolver sale. they had no crown and a skull charm instead of a bell, so i went in and refreshed this before posting it here.

i always figured they’d be the type to rile up the lamb by pulling shit like this. months later, and i still stand by that headcanon lmao

a close up of Lamb and usual ID text below

[ID: Image 1: A colored sketch of The One Who waits, A.K.A. Narinder, in his chains. The four main chains attached to his wrists represents his siblings. From left to right is Leshy's chain with vines and camellias, Heket's chain with mushroom's and spores, Kallamar's chain with blue crystals, and Shamura's chain with silky spiderwebs. There is a tiny lamb on the bottom left facing away from the camera and looking up at Narinder. And Narinder looks down at them. Image 2: A close up of Leshy's and Heket's chains. Image 3: A close up of Narinder's face. Image 4: A close up of Kallamar's and Shamura's chains. Image 5: A close up of The Lamb. End ID.]

The Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository is live!

You can find it at: https://www.animal-photo-references.com!

Here's how this repository works: all photos were taken by me, a human, at zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, and other facilities with animals in human care. There is no AI involved in the photo editing or creation and there never will be. Right now there's 56 species on the site; my catalog has over 300 and I will be uploading the rest of them as fast as I can.

Artists creating derivative or transformative works (without AI) have blanket permission to use these references. Yes, even for work you're going to sell.

All other usage/reproduction requires permission, but assume I'm friendly and please do ask! That's educators, researchers, the media, people who need images for a school presentation, etc. This is just to retain copyright/control in case they're scraped/reused unethically - it doesn't meant I don't want folk to have access! So please do reach out via the contact form on the repository website, I don't bite and I'm most likely going to say yes.

Please don't repost the repository photos to your own blogs: I've created @animalphotorefs as a dedicated blog to share photos from the site, and of course I'll reblog a lot of it here! That again just helps with retaining copyright and sourcing of the images. If you really want to repost some for a specific purpose, please just ask me first!

Also, folks, this project has no funding. It's just me and my camera.

There will never be a paywall on the site - I believe resources like this absolutely must be free for everyone to access. So please, please, please support the repository if you use it. Want sneak peeks at photos, cute videos I take, or to help choose what I photograph and what gets posted first? You can do that through Patreon (and there's a free trial on the most interactive tier!) If you'd like to just drop a tip, I've also set up a Ko-Fi.

I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the repository.

To whet your thirst for cute photos, here's an Indian rhinoceros contemplating a goose.
