Just saw Hoppers, and damn, i wanted to like it so bad, it was so funny and the art so beautiful but it came out so WEAK with that "use the proper channels, fight for the environment this way, you can convince the worst criminal through dialogue, violence is not the way" freaking undertone

I dress basically the same way every day, you know, the classic black plain shirt and green pants combo, and the only reason I'd like to experiment and try different clothing options would be to make those cool OOTD drawings of themselves some artists do

Just woke up from a social media pause and the first thing I see is an incredible footage of a sperm whale casually cruising with a giant squid in its mouth ?? 🦑 🌊 🌿

Vertical photo of a sperm whale with a giant squid in its mouth. The tentacles and body of the squid can be seen emerging between the teeth.

Tiny sketchbook sketch dump up on Patreon www.patreon.com/posts/136183...

A black and white ink drawing of a woman in a long gown pulling down a veil over her head. The drawing is, height-wise, shorter than the length of the pen used to ink it.

Earlier in the year my partner and I fostered Latte and her puppies, they are all in forever homes with lovely people now and i have a few sketches done during that time

An ink drawing of a tree. Its foliage is almost fully tilted to the left, it has a side note "12:00 MD - Latte is on labor" and the date of that day "March 30th, 2025 at La Perla"

Hi! I'm Lur Noise and I do illustration, concept art and comics. I love drawing sci-fi, fantasy, tech, architecture, critters and plants. I'm available for both commissions and longer work! #PortfolioDay

Poster style color illustration of An Antidote for Strychnine, a song by The Mountain Goats. It's composed of several panels displaying different images based on the song: lab rats, chemicals, fish bones... Green and blue tones predominate, but the band's name and the song title are written in yellow.

Color illustration of a gas filled armored being. The armor is translucent in parts on the limbs and their spherical head, where said gas can be seen.

Color illustration of a sailboat with solar sails. The hull is painted white and red, and technical data about it can be seen on the top left corner.

Color illustration, in greenish tones, of Rana temporaria tadpoles swimming on a puddle that has formed over a concrete floor. The shadow of some off-canvas dandelions can be seen too.

Swatch card of my Forest Floor Repeat Pattern. Repeat pattern of the greenery crushed into a forest floor. tan leaf branches and grey slate branches with bright red and dark green large berries also small branches of tan leaves with red berries and slate grey branches with tan leaves on a dark navy blue background

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.

Hi #PortfolioDay I'm Alex, i do concept art for games but my heart lies in illustration and traditional media, particularly ink! I love nature, fantasy and symbolism, and it usually shows on my work. I'm open for commercial & private commissions, let's talk 🙌 contact@alexanderchacon.com

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Jaws 🩸🦈I made a list to score, with 13 levels of stereotypes about sharks, I hope it is useful for those who want to create works beyond the fear ingrained by Jaws and seek new creative representations of sharks. #shark #jaws #jaws50thanniversary #jaws50

After noticing patterns over the years, I created this list with 13 points to score the level of stereotypes about sharks present in a work. I believe that most of these stereotypes have their main origin in the film Jaws (1975).

With the scarcity of works that explore other creative approaches to sharks, beyond the “man-eating ” narrative, Jaws ended up consolidating itself as the greatest source of inspiration and creative reference for many productions to this day. This was called “The Jaws Effect”.

I've noticed that certain patterns in the creative world repeat themselves to the point of being tedious, which bothers me. Not because they're bad, but because in many cases they're harmful. With these points, I hope to show sharks in a new light.

The plan was to steadily draw them as they grow up but that idea crumbled due to the puppies waking up at 2:00 am every night and so I couldn't either sleep well for a while or be a moderately functioning human being during the day. Here's a recent one tho!

It makes me genuinely emotional that animals like to play, that play is kind of inherent to life.
