Hawkeye simps, we’ve been sleeping on this 1968 book turned film Paper Lions. It’s college Hawkeye… if you can stretch your imagination and believe he wouldn’t get absolutely owned in football.

Cute New Year season outfit pairing kimono and obi patterned with all kind of toys - some shaped like jûnishi (Chinese zodiac animals).

Obi shows clapper toys shaped like shishi (lion, mimicking those used for shishimai/lion dances), koma (tops), and kushi (combs).

Kimono has inu-hariko (dog figurine), jûnishi-themed pull toys and figurines (example with tiger ones), harukoma/takeuma (hobby horse), anesama-ningyô (paper based), temari (ball), tsuzumi (hand drum), suzu (bell), etc!

I don’t know if I’m the only one who thinks this but why is Paper Mario so adorable?

He’s just a little guyyyyyy!

I have no idea how football works but I’d watch all the matches for him

BREATH OF LIFE / 2024

"Euron stood by the window, drinking from a silver cup. He wore the sable cloak he took from Blacktyde, his red leather eye patch, and nothing else. "When I was a boy, I dreamt that I could fly," he announced. "When I woke, I couldn't . . . or so the maester said. But what if he lied?"

Close up under the cut.

Send me to therapy, I am completely unreasonable about this bag of human trash.

How would you recommend drawing differences between saber tooth cat types (Sorry if that doesn't male sense I didn't know how to word it)

So I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but I did make a whole species sheet here:

The point of this is to illustrate the differences, both based on skeletal anatomy, and ones I added in soft tissue for fun!

Uh oh lads, Pav's rambling again!

As far as depicting extinct species in a way that makes them distinct; I find restricting certain traits to only one species or the other helps. e.g: Ice Fangs will never have ear-tufts and Fleet Fangs always have them, Ice Fangs will always have exposed sabers and Fleet Fangs always have lip-pockets covering theirs (they have to be actively grimacing to show the whole fang).

Also look at the varied soft tissue of real life animals.

Fleet Fangs have lynx like ear tufts because they share a similar environment and are both long-limbed ice-cats. They also have a paler under-tail like deer, which I imagine is used for social signalling (Homotherium is hypothesised to be social irl too!)

I decided to give the Ice Fangs more bear like lips, which is loosely based on a (debunked) idea of them having huge jowls that enveloped the whole length of their sabers. This would make actually using the sabers too hard for me to think it's plausible, but a more mobile lip that can be moved out of the way when they go from full gape to rest is a fun concept :D

I also try not to draw any sabercats with pantherine noses. Pantherine rhinarium are quite distinct in their reduction of lower lobe (which I'm sure has a proper name but I Cannot find it and keep getting photos of nose jobs, so I'm giving up). This makes the whole nose into a defined T-shape, but there's no reason for any sabercat lineage to have that specific autapomorphy. So the Fleet Fangs get Jaguarundi/lynx inspired heart-shaped ones, and Ice Fangs have very wide noses like a stretched domestic cat c'x

Not sure that answers your question but hope it helps a bit anyway c:

I woke up feeling like I was crying to sleep when I wasn't??? And my dream was about Mei from Turning Red riding a snow sleigh. Um There's nothing sad about that??? Lol

Anyway, the warm up sketches. The colors were added in Medibang. It was pretty fun, might do that technique some other time. My body still refused to recover from being bummed out throughout the day so I did house chores instead of commissions. 😅 Will try again tomorrow.

Yes this is a bastardization of that one Twilight quote. What about it? 😜🖤💜
