Species challenge! 🦊✨

I asked my followers on Twitter and Bluesky for animal suggestions (especially less common ones in the furry fandom) and this was the result :3 it was very fun, should repeat it sometime!

After doing some research on the types of pets people had in ancient Greece, I'd like to imagine that Helen is the sort of person who has a whole menagerie of birds — and she loves each and every one of them very, very much.
It fits well with her being good at mimicry, you know. Talking and imitating and singing with her beloved birds 💜
Close up under the read more:
I had to include that one necklace from the minoan 'saffron goddess' fresco because it's my favourite thing Ever
#helen of sparta#greek mythology#greek myth art#tagamemnon#birds#this started as a helen with birds drawing. then turned into a chance to put helen in mycenaean accurate clothing.#and THEN turned into a sort of hades game art study/sprite because playing with half lineart + half rendering is just too much fun#speaking of fun: I really enjoyed making this!! Once I got a bit experimentative it really came together. I'm happy with the outcome! ^w^#choosing what birds and how many was a challenge... in my mind Helen has dozens of birds and all sorts of species. truly a crazy bird lady.#but I decided to focus on a few for this. maybe another time i'll make a piece with a ridiculous amount of birds for fun >:) hehe#I cant remember the source but I know I read somewhere that people would specifically train magpies to say hello/greet guests#and I love that little factoid (and love magpies very much) so that was an immediate choice for me to feature here.#I also love doves and goldfinches. goldfinches sound so delightful and stand out so they were my 'songbird' choice.#and I'd like to imagine that one specific dove snuggles up on helen's shoulder all the time <3#the only bird that's truly missing here is an indian ringneck parrot (which I initially wanted to put on the shoulder but changed my mind)#so if you're like me and watch too many parrot videos. just know helen has one of them that can't stop talking and posing lmao#capri_art

*SLAMS DOWN* F E A S T!!! A sketchpage to cure boredom <3
Just ignore how my sketches look so clean, trust me. They STARTED OUT AS SKETCHES... But then i progressively got better at drawing them and my sketches got so clean that they became my infamous Glorified Sketches™.
And some separate shots w higher quality below :P
This all adds up to 16 hours of drawing over a few days C:
I have that dragon plushie irl, its just half the size and not as cool... Ill always find a way to include a dragon in my art.
Im definitely gonna do more later when i dont feel like sleeping the day away.
#my art#jr#tmnt#rottmnt#uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhfffff#i pulled an allnighter drawing that one with the dragon plush#so worth it#its now like midmorning and i am FEELING that lack of sleep now#i dont wannaaaa#but my brain is actively stalling and keeps sending me that “restart to update” mental notification >.>#tag update -> idk whether to laugh or cry that ppl reblog this with the leo tag xD i am SO sorry but this isnt leo 😭#(but its funny ppl think so <3)#its just an original character that shares similarities because of the turtle species i picked#like yeah theyre also a red-eared slider- but THIS guy is a 'Pastel' slider with a few diffs (google those theyre so pretty!!!)#and imo the shade of green is way too dark for a rise leo concept?? and no blue shell? sorry lmao#but ive been brainstorming my own creative interpretation of leo with more markings (i can never resist a cool design challenge)

ooh… how about an anthro comb jelly? or maybe a parasitoid wasp
A couple people suggested some marine inverts so here they are :^)
Not even sure these count as anthros at this point LOL but thats ok
#femurs art#sfw furry#furry art#comb jelly#starfish#crinoid#all of these are not species specific and rather are just a mix of different species from their group#i normally would not give an anthro like this eyes but when i was a kid i used to draw starfish anthros with eyes on their arms cause i-#learned that they sense thing through their arms and was like woah. i want to. draw that#and that specific design choice is now just etched into my mind i have such a soft spot for it#these were very interesting to figure out thank you everyone for giving me a challenge LOL#sea lily

I don't know if you're still doing those requests but....
may i suggest......
catboy kise and wolfboy daiki 🥺👉👈
Well since i would be doing them animal themed, might as well try being more accurate to their canon animal counterparts, no? ;D So Black Panther! Daiki and Fox! Kise it is!
...sometimes Kise forgets he's not in Animal Form
#aokise#aomine daiki#daiki aomine#ryouta kise#kise ryouta#knb#kuroko no basket#kuroko no basuke#kuroko's basketball#aomine x kise#fan art#my art#answered ask#thanks for asking!#while daiki's animal comparison is canonically the panther#i had to go with the more fanonical interpretation for Kise's and i think Fox fits him pretty well#considering they're hella smart and adaptable for the most part#i also learnt a bit of how to draw animals just for answering thisss i hope they don't look bad because i cant draw animals ;_;#but ngl the new challenge was fun i also learnt some more interesting facts on panthers and foxes in general ;p#for some reason i think Takao would be an eagle#midorima also screams bird species to me lol

Invertebrate Tarot:
Card 7: The Lovers
Two parasitic Strepsiptera bound by fate to find each-other in the brief and narrow window they have. A relationship as inevitable as it is violent.
#cuttledreams#bug tarot#tarot art#strepsiptera#twisted-wing insect#really cool animals I highly recommend going and reading up on them#females are parasites of wasps and some other insects depending on species#males live like just a few hours as adults and have to run to find a female#who it mates with via traumatic insemination#babies hatch inside the female and live in her blood (?)#and she dies after giving birth to them through her head#all of this is already a wild life cycle#and doesn't even touch on the really cool physiology of the male#those eyes?? Antennae??#Those wings which resemble superficially flies but are actually the back wings adapted for flight#while the front wings became halteres??#also these might be distantly related to beetles way back according to some info#I wonder if there is a relationship between beetles making front wings elytras and strepsiptera making theirs halteres#anyway really cool#been obsessed since first hearing about them#trying to find refs for the female though challenging

I've spent so much time IDing things on iNat over the last few days that now when I see random photos of creatures on here I start mentally sorting them into the lowest taxonomic category I can identify them as being in before realising there's no button to suggest an ID because this is Tumblr not iNaturalist
#personal#thoughts#🍬 post#inaturalist#city nature challenge#city nature challenge 2024#I've also IDed enough blurry low-quality photos that I occasionally see something with the same colour scheme as a certain butterfly#and I can feel my brain vaguely registering it as that species even though it's clearly not even a creature#I saw a grey triangular rock with a couple of orange bits in one corner and my brain was like ''gray hairstreak???'' like no that's a rock

I'VE FINALLY DONE IT!!!!
with NO TRADES, no gameshark, on a physical cartridge and a physical gameboy, unmodified, using only the game's own programming and no external software, I solo completed the dex
a feat that not even gamefreak thought possible
#if you're wondering how i did it#the short answer is glitches#BUT it was no walk in the park#i had to manipulate the game's programming to give me the other 2 starters#the other 2 eeveelutions#all the trade evos#and all the blue exclusive species#AGAIN. NO GAMESHARK#no emulator#just the game's own weird spaghetti code#manipulated until i could complete this challenge#gaming#nintendo#pokemon

thinking of drawing mind's bedroom again .. need to figure out what fishes he'd have in his fishtank 🐟
#definitely a small species since he doesn't have a huge tank#maybe neon tetra.. they're cute and mind coded to me. plus not particularly challenging to take care of..#whatever he owns I gotta do research on it though cause mind would put tons of effort into making the PERFECT environment for them#nevermeanttospeak

☄️Funtober Day 21: Spectre and 22: Celestial🌙
A traditional Catfolk tapestry wall hanging showing off one of myths about two moons. Catfolk have lots of stories to tell about one of the moons coming down to the planet's surface at night to pretend that it's an animal. Legends say that if you catch up to the moon animal, you can ask it nicely to carry you safely into the sky, for an audience with elder moon.
here’s the link to the challenge:

i introduce to you the noble kinglet. they're these teensy tiny dudes who live in people's houses (hidden away in all the small nooks and crannies of a house - behind the sofa, through a mouse hole, in the ceiling!) and steal small objects such that they may make a horde - or kingdom! - of their own... They're named after this behaviour and the fact they commonly wear little fur cloaks and their colourful crests. Yay!
Extra image featuring Some Guy I Haven't Talked About Ever but for.... some frame of reference of their smallness. It's kinda craziness
#ocs#in perpetuum#verpel#séguier mode#corbière mode#idk i just really wanted a little dude species sort of thing like the whimsy that would arise from such a thing. insurmountable#i needed itttt... little dudes...#challenge really easy i think guess the inspos
