I've been playing around with Obs and Discord Reactive with my bud

Something Something Sparkles

This drawing was the result of another request I got from someone on discord. Human-like hair is so weird for me to draw alongside an already furred creature. Thank goodness I can address my own shortcomings with anthro/human drawings by doing poses myself at least.

Arizona Wildlife

National Wildlife's 46th annual Photo Contest is now open! Check out some of our favorite photos from past National Wildlife photo contests. Each week we'll celebrate nature and wildlife from a different state. This week we're featuring Arizona wildlife!

Photo Above: Nature photographer Yvonne Kippenberg writes she "was surprised to see the snuggling Lovebirds (Agapornis sp.)" near her home. The Arizona resident captured the moment using a Nikon D7000.

Photographer and researcher Alex Badyaev photographed this Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) sitting on an old carrion high in a canopy of an ironwood tree pausing to listen to the midnight Sonoran Desert.

Photographer William Lax photographed this baby Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) jumping to catch a Giant Hairy Scorpion (Hadrurus arizonensis) in Gilbert, Arizona using a Nikon D4 with a 300mm f/4 lens.

Photographer Archie Tucker made this 2015 honorable mention image, Claretcup Awakening, during springtime at the Desert Botanical Garden. The Arizona resident used a Sony A77 camera.

Wildlife photographer Michael Olson caught a "candid shot of a Broad-billed Hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris) preening its iridescent plumage at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, Arizona" using a Konica-Minolta DiMage Z3 camera.

Birder and amateur photographer, Ed Schneider writes he made this "Saguaro Cactus Pollination" image while searching for Gila woodpeckers to photograph in Mt. Lemmon, Arizona. The Tennessee resident used a Nikon D300 with a 500mm f/4 lens.

Photographer Jim Zuckerman got this shot when a Common Poorwill (Phalaenoptilus nuttallii) dipped down for a drink of water and triggered his phototrap, which housed a Canon 5D Mark II.

Photographer Peter Leabo photographed "dust blowing through Antelope Canyon, illuminated by a beam of sunlight pouring through an opening in the top of the canyon as sands blowing into the canyon form a sand fall." The Wisconsin resident used a Canon 6D with a 17-40mm lens.

Arizona wildlife photographer Michael Jennings writes, "Whether you find them fearsome of fascinating, rattlesnakes are an important part of the desert ecosystem. Unfortunately, they tend to be misunderstood and they are often unnecessarily killed. Although this rattlesnake is in a fierce pose, he is only reacting defensively to my presence." The Arizona resident used a Nikon D2X to capture this moment between him and a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) in Saguaro National Park.

Photographer Joseph Castello made this image of the Grand Canyon's North Rim in Arizona at sunset shortly after a rainfall. The Illinois resident used a Nikon D300 with a 11-16mm lens.

Landscape photographer Durand Johnson made this image of the Milky Way over Monument Valley in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. He writes, "I waited for the right time of year so that the setting crescent moon would provide just enough light to brighten the land but not so much light to wash out the Milky Way."
