Outdoor enthusiast, hiker, biology/microbiology teacher, 40+yo dinosaur / agamid / wah who lives in the mountains. I like to draw. And make maps. And travel. I post mostly my creative endeavors and furry related things here, depending on what inspires me.
Beautiful day to drive into the mountains to attend FTO!
Today's the 3rd anniversary of a day that changed the course of my life, and led to me being here. I would not be in this fandom today if not for the horrible car accident that precipitated it all. As part of my search for healing, I created a fursona, and here we are. ko-fi.com/Post/Derwins...

I've been thinking since I stepped down from FWA leadership about how much furry conventions have grown, and how much we now ask of the volunteers who keep them running. I decided to put those thoughts into words, and I'd appreciate it if you'd give them a read: gomi.gay/blog/26-09-0...
As Furry Conventions Grow, Our Expectations Need to Change
Furry conventions depend on volunteers giving extraordinary amounts of their time. As our events grow, we need to ask when that generosity becomes something our conventions depend on.

If you ever meet me in person, I'll give you a keychain... I've handed out maybe 300 of them at this point. Well, I recently gave them an upgrade. Now with colorful hair!
My part of an art trade that I took WAY too long to do. I've never tried to do wing hands like this before.

Yesterday was a lotta fun! I went to a furbowl! Hosted by the local βFoxvilleβ furry group. @derwintheagamid.bsky.social @Blossom and MischiefSkunk! Where of course fun to hang out with!
Had to finish off artfight by rounding it off to 50 attacks with this last minute blep, since I realized I was at 49. Whew!
So one trick I picked up on for leveling up my art is that if you get good at drawing eyes, people like your work more even if the rest of the piece isn't that great. You get more grace for mistakes and flaws. Nailed it, now I need to fix that forehead and some other things...

I hadn't seen jurrassic park since I was a kid in the 90s, when @derwintheagamid.bsky.social commissioned me for a JP themed badge for Nashum a couple months ago though, I already knew exactly what scene I was gonna reference because it 100% is one of the most iconic scenes ever.
Richy Craven@richycraven.bsky.social Β· 3mo agoSam Neil has so many great performances that it feels almost reductive to focus on one scene. Except it's one of the most iconic scenes in movie history and all of it, The groundbreaking CGI, the sweeping John Williams score *doesn't* work without the authentic joy and wonder of Neill's performance

Thank you @froboy.bsky.social for the ramen invite. I had way too much food along with @dawsonsaber.bsky.social @pumapamf.bsky.social @wahychi.bsky.social @derwintheagamid.bsky.social @sulfer.bsky.social And several others whose tags I do not know. Was tons of fun
Y'all check this artist out! Super quality work, much more than I expected for the price, and they're a joy to work with.
