Forgot I made these quick refs once!! It’s not that you should feel obligated to portray every part of an animal correctly, but in some cases these are very unique, interesting features that very few artists are ever utilizing creatively!

You inspired me….

Pure and perfect!!! Here I was revisiting the post only to consider adding even more facts about each. I will anyway!

*Some toads do have a *forked* tongue that works like a set of tongs.

*The sperm whale’s thin shape is how it can dive so deep so fast, cutting through the water.

*The whale’s weird jaw is for hooking squid tentacled. Its small throat is only for slurping those up.

*The blue ringed octopus can kill you, but the bite of other octopuses is merely a painful burn, which may be why it’s not common knowledge.

*Rabbits are freaks

*There are also jawless leeches that swallow whole prey such as earthworms, and leeches with a drilling proboscis that often specialize in hosts like turtles and crocodilians.

*Few arthropods have limbs ending in only a “point” other than certain crustaceans! In many spiders, the foot is simply very tiny.

*Some ticks are eyeless, relying entirely on the chemosensitive “hallers organs” in their legs. Ticks are the only animal group to jave these.

*Different leech species have different numbers and sometimes different arrangements if eyes, much like spiders, and there are some with eyes on their tail ends as well.

*Sea star abd leech eyes are both quite simple, mostly only detecting light.

*Only the box jellyfish have eyes, but they are actually complex ones with lenses that can make out shapes! Box jellies navigate catefully instead of drifting with the current. They are also the deadliest jellies :)

Bringin all this back (including the cute leech drawings) also I should have added that goats don’t have any upper front teeth either

One last thing about the mantises, though–they can actually fold their front feet when not in use, so then their front legs actually *do* end in the sickle claws!

Yeah like a reverse switchblade, the harmless part folds in!

The Tarsus in this photo is folded up on the left, unfolded on the right! (Our left and our right)

this is peak trans culture because this would have been easier with very nearly any other guitar design but she just haaad to use one shaped like the letter e. Not afraid of a challenge. Respect.

I would like to add that their name is E, literally just the letter E, like they’re in a spy movie. As if that wasn’t cool enough already she went and got a guitar shaped like her name. Fucking icon.

TRULY A M A Z I N G

Fixed it

what the fuck is english english

Sean Connery is Scottish so he clearly isn’t “English English”.

Pierce Brosnan is Irish so he clearly isn’t “English English”.

Timothy Dalton is Welsh so he clearly isn’t “English English”.

George Lazenby is Australian so he clearly isn’t “English English”.

There have been more non-English Bond stars than English ones so Roger Moore can shove his racist views up his racist arse.  He was a shit Bond anyway.

IT GOT BETTER. 

Something something the way that Crowley introduced himself to Aziraphale the first time they met in the garden and reacted as if they had never met before. Something about him later behaving as if he did actually have those memories of their time in Heaven together and trying to pass it off as being someone different now. Something about Heaven's way of punishing angels that go against the plan by erasing their memories. Something about Crowley seeing Gabriel without his memory and saying "ask him properly." Something about "remember it now" "it hurts, to remember. my head isn't built for that" "I know. Do it anyway"

Something about "I know. Looking at where the furniture isn't"

Something about I know

I’m putting together a book of all the short comics I’ve drawn over the past year to have for sale at my spring conventions! Not sure what the title will be yet, but the uniting themes of all the stories seem to be Girls and Magic.

I drew this selkie comic really fast and it bounced all around tumblr which was cool, but the messy lettering and simple coloring bugged me so I cleaned it up a bit. 

THIS IS SO WHOLESOME
