Digital sketch study of a Florida Key Deer, Adult Male Key deer stand only about 30 inches tall at the shoulder while females are 26inches tall, making them the smallest subspecies of white tailed deer in North America. Once reduced to just a few dozen individuals, the species rebounded thanks to federal protection and the creation of the National Key Deer Refuge.

Trying desperately to see ANY bright side -- it's never been a better time to be a decent hetero guy who wants a full partner and knows how to do his own laundry and actively likes women as people.

You could also save the FBX file as an ASCII file and manually edit the name in Notepad. But that's too much excitement for me.

Did you know that Maya, and seemingly only Maya, will add a prefix namespace to mesh blendshapes if you export a mesh to FBX using the FBX Version 2012 or later?

Inspired by this post and the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Tina and Milo! A pair of Stoats / aka Eurasian Ermine, this year's official mascots.

'Sleeping Beauty,' 'Roger Rabbit' Animator Jane Baer Dies At 91 A world-class animator, producer, studio founder, and a founding member of Women in Animation (WIA) Baer worked with the Nine Old Men and into the digital age.

Jane Baer has died at 91. A titan, she worked on 'Sleeping Beauty,' co-founded Baer Animation, supervised 'Roger Rabbit,' and advocated for her fellow artists. Few careers trace the evolution of late-20th-century American animation as completely.

Image depicts a male and female Wrinkled Hornbill resting on a tree limb. The male has is wings open on display, he has pale yellowish throat and a yellow and red bill and casque. Female has a plain yellow bill and casque and bare blue skin around the eyes and on the neck pouch. 

This year I'm studying the endangered Wrinkled Hornbill found in the forests of Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo.

They primarily eat fruit, like figs, but will consume small prey like frogs. Loss of habitat and deforestation is likely the main cause of their endangered status. 

Sketch study art work, indented for learning purposes.

A screen shot of my Linktree profile with links showing the the google sheets Animal Awareness Day Cal, add on link and the OneZoom Tree of Life Explorer for easy access for those on mobile who have limited search options.

I received a suggestion to make the Animal Day Awareness Cal a more prominent link on my profile for easier access on mobile devices.

Not add link clutter, I did add them to my linktree linktr.ee/casswart

Also added OneZoom for research purposes. Not associated with the site. I like it a lot.

Critically Endangered, #Axolotls once inhabited interconnected wetlands and lakes in the Mexican highlands. Spanish settlers drained the waterways destroying their habitat which is now Mexico City.

January 2026 bird whisper project is a Gyrfalcon, and the largest falcon in the world, The gyrfalcon is larger, broader-winged and longer-tailed than the peregrine falcon, which it is known to compete with (and occasionally hunt). It differs from the buzzard in general structure, having pointed wings.

Their plumage ranges from snowy white to tawny black and brown depending on age and sex and if in breeding season. 

Displayed here is a Gyrflacon resting on a branch with sketches of various flight poses and one with a mouth open demonstrating its head anatomy from the side.
