Chamaeleo calyptratus - adult male

The veiled chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus) is an arboreal species of chameleon. It is native to the south-western Arabian Peninsula (Yemen & Saudi Arabia) where the climate is semi-arid and tropical. It is highly susceptible to stress which makes it a species difficult to treat in captivity.

I raised this guy from a baby, but you definitely need to give chameleons plenty of space to roam and hunt. Any species of chameleon should absolutely not be kept in small terrariums, but sadly when kept as pets they often are confined to much too small of spaces. I kept him in a large, tall open air cage where he had plenty of space to hide and hunt, and he acclimated quite well.

Nachito (2024)

This is Nachito, a cute female Veiled Chameleon! Her portrait was painted with acrylics on an 8" x 10" stretched canvas. She is a piebald morph, so she has pink feet and white bands around her wrists and ankles! Very unusual, and not a color morph I have seen before.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what's the thingy on your profile pic? My guess is somesort of creeeeture within amber, correct? If so, what kind of creeeeeture is it? it's got a funky head it's pretty cool

Also I just remembered I can color text on the tumble so yeah I'm having fun with that hope you don't mind

HHHHHHHHHHOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Thr creature is a chameleon! I didn't have a species in mind but after some research I guess it's a mix of the big crown of the Veiled chameleon and the angled jaw of a Panther Chameleon to get the arrow shape.

There was a hubbub a few years ago about an amber specimen containing a chameleon, but that was later proved to be an Albernapid amphibian calked Yaksha by Susan E. Evans.

So a few things inspired it, like Jurrasic Park abd some amber related news at the time. But I think the main inspiration was the power and golden eggs from Splatoon.

This was unintentional but I think it's transformative enough to be okay.

The bean shape was inspired by the famous "gummy bear" amber fossil from Slupsk, Poland.

Sometimes, my mind conflates gummy bears and jelly beans lol.

Sorry if this is a bit rant-y, I try to keep track of where the inspiration for my art and designs comes from. I want to remake it at some point with cleaner lines and a better gradient, but I also like the more janky lines atm so we'll see when/if it happens.

Oh and I DON'T MIND THE COLOURS.

WWWHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPP!!!!!!!
