kinda obsessed with these, clearly beginner, rings on Etsy being marketed as garnet when i'd bet money that they are glass

the metal work is. certainly better than what i've ever made, so i don't want to speak to harshly. but uh. um.

The fun thing about picking up a cat from the street is that they know a negative amount of rules and will commit entirely new crimes

{{ $10+ DOODLE DRIVE }}

My husband just got a job after being injured and losing his old job! He was unemployed for SIX weeks! 😬 My big concern atm is having enough gas to get him through to next week, when I get paid. I was sick to the point of having to go to the ER for breathing treatments, so my paycheck was SUPER short bc I was out a few days.

The end of the tunnel is in sight! We just need help getting through the last leg.

Deets below the cut! 🔁 = 💕

Basically, you send me $10 or more and you get a lil' doodleydoo like the one above!

You can pick the accent color.

Detailed chars welcome but their designs may be simplified! I will keep them recognizable, though.

These will be QUICK with no edits. That's why they're cheap!

Please include your Tumblr URL and a link to your character. (You may need to use a URL shortener.)

ONLY these two things as PP payment messages are limited to 100 characters.

If you don't have your own char but just wanna help, put "pay it forward". I'll tally up these ones and make a first-come, first-serve thread on Bluesky for people to snag a little doodle for themselves that they weren't able to get otherwise! :)

Payment by My PayPal Link Here

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.
