A male elephant seal laying in short grass with a beach in the background. Its head is lifted and mouth is wide open as it lets out an aggressive call.

a sketch of a smartphone with tactile buttons for home/window/back, headphone jack, no AI BS, sim card thingy you can open with your nail, camera that doesn't cover the damn screen, and a 5 inch/127mm screen which is a reasonable size
I wouldn't say I'm massively into phones or anything but I sketched this out of frustration bc why are there no modern phones with these features, it would be so perfect and I'm mad the only ones are old and slow
A black and grey speckled white and brown faced merle corgi posing at the corner of a stone patio. She is SO. FLUFFY. COMICALLY FLUFFY. A little cloud of dog.
Ceres just had a visit with her best friend the groomer, and since it involved a blowdry she looks inflated to twice her usual size like a digdug monster

I do want to keep hitting the again button, but I'm concerned my eyeballs will eventually fall out of my head.
At the 0.0005 ones, the subtle variations/imperfections in my monitor had way more color variance than the actual lines. π΅βπ«
My JND result of 0.0011 "Okay, either you're a mantis shrimp in a trenchcoat or your display has a secret wide-gamut mode nobody told me about. Suspiciously impressive" Two action buttons, "share result" "again. I can do better." Link to "read the post about this"
This was my second try. The first time I was compared to a mantis shrimp. *waves raptorial appendages menacingly*
Screenshot of my JND results of 0.00092 "Either you have superhuman cone cells or you got very lucky. I'm going with lucky. This is absurdly below the theoretical JND. Your monitor is doing something weird. Or both."
Don't mind me, I'm just over here staring at the space in-between electrons. π

There is something so utterly magical about stop motion (and about T.rex, obviously).
I am so grateful to artists like Lucas for keeping the medium alive in the digital era.
Three panel comic. Panel 1: a giant squid wearing a yellow Bart t-shirt and some terrible hypebeast shorts is looking in the mirror. It says, βneed groceriesβ¦ but all my clothes are in the laundry.β Panel 2: the squid, now also wearing hot pink crocs, exits its apartment and says, βeh. I wonβt see anyone.β Panel 3: two fisherman are pulling the squid to the surface of the water and pointing at it. An overlayed news caption reads: RARE SQUID SIGHTED - the fit was crazy

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time.
But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned.
But I talked with many Trans friends, and itβs so much worse. They are in fear for their lives.

Picture of a small handmade clay figurine of Patrick star from SpongeBob. His eyes are just two black dots, his mouth a simple line, giving him a very empty facial expression. He is set, fully nude, on a yellow and blue fabric background. Behind him is a stone on which little felt green shorts with purple flowers are set.
A similar picture. This time Patrick is facing the camera and wearing his shorts.
Another similar picture, Patrick is facing away from the camera. He is still wearing the shorts, but his crack is showing.
Another back-facing picture. The shorts are back on the stone, the ass is showing.
Sometimes, you just gotta make something because you can πͺΌ
One of my first air-dry clay project was this Patrick Star for my bestie. As you can see, I put a lot of love into the π π

Bugguide photo of a "Thief weevil" (Attelabidae: Pterocolus sp) by user Metrioptera. He is a jolly iridescent turquoise and sort of rectangular in shape, with an unusually wide stance.
let's all take a moment to consider the Thief Weevil and his outrageous pantaloons
We are watching this right now, on our big screen. This is by far better than anything on TV. www.youtube.com/live/gXKuUyK...

A hand-drawn digital painting by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan of three garden eels on the ocean floor. The one in thr foreground is painted in more detail, sticking out from the sand and slightly bending its head towards streams of light depicted in a soft lilac tone, part of the dynamic shading of the piece. The other two are in the background, facing the opposite direction but similarly looking up at the light rays. The background is a mix of textured and blurry, wuth some grains of sand highlighted.
Revisiting a fave, experimenting with different brushes and gestures for this study of Spotted Garden Eels #SundayFishSketch π‘
