You've seen fireworks that look like jellyfish, but what about a jellyfish that looks like fireworks? The E/V Nautilus filmed this rare Halitrephes maasi jellyfish glowing like a firework at a depth of 4,019 feet (1,225 meters) off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. (📷: Ocean Exploration Trust)

Mostly interested in animals, video games, and books/comics. And art, though I don't draw much these days. :( Felted Salishar in my usericon by Snowfox102 of Dragon Keep Creations!
You guys gotta check out what my buddy made. Without a doubt the best lifesize T. rex head sculpt that exists in the world.
Proud to present my lifesize T. rex head, affectionately named Hannibal. I created this myself from start to finish- digital sculpture, resin 3D printing, painting, etc. Huge thanks to my friend @rj-palmer.com for instrumental crits and redlines during the sculpting process.
Chris Moore was a giant of book cover art. Perhaps a bit less well known than the other Chris (Foss), Moore’s covers dominated the sci-fi section of bookshops while I was growing up in the 70s and 80’s
Ron Cobb was a genius of speculative and production design, his work taught me so much about how every design decision matters. You will have seen his work. I think about this alien design regularly from Star Wars. He says so much in such a small amount of text.

Kala Paint is out! I'm @olawson.bsky.social , professional artist for 15 years, then game dev, now wrote the painting software I wish I'd been using all this time. GPU-run creamy brushes, no subscription, no gen AI crap, hand-coded with ideas from artists in our Discord, and more added weekly!
The finished mari from yesterday. Not sure the bend I intended in her pose worked out. But at least its done!
Fat Horse No. 12 It’s the year of the horse and I’ve always been a horse girl at heart, so I’m taking advantage of the excuse to fill the world with fat little horses! These felted friends are the size (and shape!) of an apple, and if you have any apples to share I’m sure they’d help you out!
Today's theme of #BirdOfTheDay is #Mamas&Papas Here's a mated pair of Agami Herons gettting ready for nesting season. #CostaRica #herons #birds #nature
Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
