Still don’t understand how someone can follow an artist only because of the content they post. Like yall don’t follow because you find their art style gorgeous and if they happen to make content you also enjoy it’s a given bonus?

No? Just me? Oh okay-

I believe I've never shared the final version of the zombies I did for the cover of Mami, pocem! (Mom, c'mere!) by @irenahejdova, well here you go. Zombies are pretty fun to draw, huh 🧟‍♀️

Just so we’re clear, there’s no such thing as an albino peafowl/peacock/peahen. No record of any actually albino peafowl exists. Every single white peacock you’ve all ever seen is leucistic, not albino. Sit down and let me teach you about peafowl genetics.

Albinism is (basically) an inability to produce melanin (black and brown pigment) in any part of their body, including their eyes.. Albino animals have pigment cells, but they do not produce the pigment. Their irises look red because they lack pigment; the red coloration is instead due to blood cell coloration.

Leucism is a genetic condition which causes pigment cells to fail to migrate from the neural crest during development. Leucistic animals can produce pigment, but they lack the cells necessary to deposit it onto feathers/fur/scales. Unlike an albino, however, leucistic animals have colored irises; in the case of peafowl, their eyes are blue, not red like an albino’s look:

A white peafowl carries two copies of the white [total leucism] gene (WW). Breeding a white bird to a blue bird will not produce pied birds (birds with some white patches), it will instead produce a blue bird carrying 1 white gene (giving it a white throat patch and white primary wing feathers).

A pied peafowl carries 1 copy of the white [total leucism] gene (W) and one copy of the pied (partial leucism) gene (p). A (Wp) genotype results in a colored bird with white patches on its body (the amount of white varies per bird, with “loud pied” indicating a genetically pied bird with lots of white), like so:

There is also a third leucistic gene found in peafowl called White Eye (We) which turns all of the eyes in their train feathers white instead of blue/green/brown/black. White eye birds look like this:

Interestingly, there is a genetic mutation called Silver Pied which is a combination of white, pied, and white-eye. This particular genetic combination produces a mostly white bird with patches of color, like so:

Anyway, that’s your lesson in peafowl genetics for the day. Now we can all stop automatically calling every white animal an albino, and instead we can stop and ask ourselves “is this really, or is it leucistic?” Quickest way to tell: look at the eyes. if they’re dark or solidly blue, that sucker likely isn’t an albino at all.

all my tony stank doodles over the years !! Enjoy !! Notes below :

The mug ones read "N°1 Iron Dad" and "Dont Talk To Me Until I've Eaten This Mug" respectively given by Peter and Pepper lmao

I also dont actually hc Tony as trans but sometimes you just gotta put your blorbos in a binder for mental health purposes yk-

The mechanical arm ones are inspired by a fic that one of my mutuals wrote, but they kinda went no contact/off the internet so i wont draw attention to them, but if you see this by any chance ! You are amazing and loved ! You inspired me !

there are two competing sects on this website - one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "neurodivergent" and one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "sexual content." i do not like either of them

Yesterday, I returned from Milano, so I'll post a few things inspired by the city. We've seen lots of pigeons and angels 🎺

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns
