One of my favorite projects from this last semester was getting to design book covers, and I had been dying to make my own Watership Down cover for forever. Itโs probably my favorite novel, so I hope I did it justice!
The mock-up templates I used were from Free-PSD-Templates!
Janell Cannonโs animal books and illustrations are the best collection of young childrenโs xenofiction. No, I will not change my mind.
Forgot I made these quick refs once!! Itโs 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 meโฆ.
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 whaleโs thin shape is how it can dive so deep so fast, cutting through the water.
*The whaleโs 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 itโs 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 โpointโ other than certain crustaceans! In many spiders, the foot is simply very tiny.
*Some ticks are eyeless, relying entirely on the chemosensitive โhallers organsโ 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 donโt have any upper front teeth either
the cutiemark crusaders try to get a cutie mark for speedrunning
