the largest spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) caterpillar i've ever seen was too huge to be captured in a single close-up so i decided to take one of the blue half and one of the red half for fun. it's giving charizard and blastoise, it's giving sonic and knuckles, it's giving mario and luigi (if luigi was blue)

Return of an old OC! Meet Sparrow Gentry, my spongy moth turned space moth Librarian! Shes very tall (8ft 6in) so she can reach the highest bookshelves, when shes not working she's writing adventure autobiographies! Her love of writing knows no bounds. Hope yall like her! Ive been playing a lot of Space Station 14 and this got me back on the track to redraw her!

I have nothing to post but this Nichiko doodle I’m sorry

I really want to build my characters and the plot all these characters are apart of, as well as get better with Adobe animate

My dreams take time with only a small number of people to verbally encourage me and no one financially supporting me when I’m in need

I WILL say animation doesn’t get easier than this and I love animate, gimme a little time

The aspen forest where our team conducted our recent study. Mark R. Zierden Richard L. Lindroth, University of Wisconsin-Madison and Patricia C. Fernandez, Universidad de Buenos Aires When we walked with a colleague into an aspen forest near Madison, Wisconsin, in the early spring of 2021, we expected to finalize our plans for a research project on several species of insects that live and feed…
