What's your favorite piece you've made?

Thats a hard choice but my favorites are definitely the illustrations where I've spent alot of time into trying something new. The most recent one being this illustration I made for hobbesgob where I tried animation with PixelComposer for the first time.

An older favorite is a commission where I drew a cityscape for the first time. I can def see where I can improve on it now but its still a piece I was super proud of at the time and still use as a PC wallpaper to this day.

oh really? that's interesting, on our farm we would start our calves on the teat troughs and then sort of graduate them up to a milk bucket. you'd go: teat trough; bucket of milk; bucket of milk & bucket of cake; bucket of water & bucket of cake. chug is, indeed, doing an awful job.

bad at drinking milk

My bad sleep schedule, diabolical eating habits, severe mental health struggles, messed up hormones, and general trashy behavioral tendencies pulling me towards being completely FUCKING insane:

I am fairly sure those are both crocodiles, actually. Specifically, a West African on the left and a freshwater on the right. But I don’t know why an African croc would be next to an Australian one.

This one got me good 🤣

Fish of the Day

Today's fish of the day is the elongate carpet shark!

The Elongate carpet shark, Parascyllium elongatum, is known for having the longest length to width in the genus Parascyllium. This species is nearly entirely unknown, with only one specimen found in 2008. Referred to as a holotype, since it is the only known specimen, we must base all our information here. Our holotype was a female shark found in the stomach of a common houndshark, also known as a school shark. At a depth of 50 meters, and around the Chatham Island of Western Australia, along the Indian ocean. We do not currently know anything about the elongated carpet shark's population, ecology, habitat, or threats.

This shark is characterized by the exceptional length of its body, with the holotype measuring in at 42cm, or 16.6 inches. With a narrow mouth, small head and small dorsal fins, the elongated carpetshark is easily identified from its closest relative in appearance, the necklace carpet shark. This species lacks the common "collar" markings found in the Parascyllium genus, instead displaying white spotting patterns, and large black spots on their fins. This species has no information about their populations, or reproduction. We do however know that carpet sharks reproduce through oviparous means, meaning that eggs are laid to hatch outside of the mother.

That's the elongated carpet shark, everybody! I hope you enjoyed learning about them!

“Zookeepers are fostering positive interactions with baby Ume by gently giving her scratches and associating specific body parts with verbal cues. This training helps the endangered tapir become comfortable with human touch, ensuring stress-free care in the future.”
