Okay, so... Who was going to tell me that Dragon Fruit comes from a species of South American cactus? #smaugust #dragon #food #sciart #plant #art #digitalart #science #botany

Painterly, cel-shaded digital art of a dragonfruit, or pitaya, tree planted into an isometric 'chunk' of earth. The tree is made of long, thick, waxy cactus pads with no spines, its trunk also cloaked with pads growing out of the earth. The dragonfruits are hot pink with leafy green bits at their top end. This tree simply cannot keep up with how many fruits it's producing so some are already falling off onto the ground and off the chunk of earth. Watermark: http://hmcgill.art

Basilisks: The embodiment of 'WAUGH, outta here' #smaugust #dragon #lizard #reptile #nature #sciart #digitalart #art #animal #science #biology

Painterly, cel-shaded digital art of a basilisk, or 'Jesus lizard', skedaddling across an isometric chunk of clear, clean lake water. A basilisk is green with blue polka dots, two large ear fins on the head, two sail fins on the back and tail, with a yellow belly, gangly limbs, and brown stripes down the tip of its tail. True to its name, it can straight up run across the surface of open water using its giant muppety feet. I wish I could do that. Watermark: http://hmcgill.art

Of course I be-LEAF in dragons*! *leafy seadragons #smaugust #art #digitalart #seahorse #ocean #nature #marinebiology #dragon #seadragon #sea

Painterly, cel-shaded art of a long, lithe leafy seadragon. This fish has a seahorse's orange body with white stripes along its sides. It has a very long, extended tail and all of its fins are thin like branches with large, multicolored frongs trailing behind it in the current. The seadragon is nestled within some of its favorite camouflage, seaweed, which is rooted into an isometric 'chunk' of brightly cerulean shore water. Watermark: http://hmcgill.art

Had a fun time interpreting the limited color scheme on this photo, and re-posing the komodo dragon so you could see the feets! Original reference: www.animal-photo-references.com/komodo-drago... @animalphotorefs.bsky.social #smaugust #art #komodo #dragon #nature #animal #digitalart #reptile

Painterly, cel-shaded digital art of a komodo dragon sprawled across an isometric chunk of dirt and molded tree trunk prop from a zoo enclosure. The whole piece is done in understated beige tones with teal shadows, hiding the big lizard with its own basking light. Maybe this isn't such a great situation, being unable to see the giant carnivorous beast as well as you'd like, but sometimes art calls us to do dangerous things. Watermark: http://hmcgill.art

May your heart be defended! #smaugust #art #dragon #digitalart #fantasy #medieval

Painterly, cel-shaded digital artwork of a medieval-style dragon protecting an isometric chunk of battleground. The dragon is two-legged with a long neck, golden wings, and a variety of swords collected in its teeth, blade-first. Its head is red like flames with a doglike snout. The dragon's tail playfully ends upwards in a golden, leafy fleur in the style of illuminated flowers. A shield rests across one of its wings towards an unseen foe, stopping a thrown axe in its tracks. Littering the battlefield are the dragon's past victories: Daggers, swords, blood splatters, and a sad little skull under one leg, including vertebrae dissolving into the dirt.

Amphiox is a short, complete webcomic about a ruined world, a magic doom eel, and an acrobatic cat burglar who must steal its egg. Purchasing a copy comes with three vinyl stickers! amphiox.hmcgill.art ---- #BluePit #💥 #P #YA #SF #SP #webcomic #indie

Cover to the webcomic, Amphiox. It's a black cover with criss-crossing blue serpent coils taking up most of the background. The coils writhe around each other with faint glimmers of scales highlighted, before vanishing into darkness. This is a teaser for the beast that will be encountered and explained within the webcomic.

Layered over the writing coils of the Amphiox is its tail, oddly centered and still compared to the rest of its body. An amphiox's tail ends in a fin with rounded tips. The fin's color is a bright, bioluminescent gradient composed of yellow fading into bright skyblue, before tapering into a darker cerulean. The tail has vibrating red highlights. It casts a rainbow of highlights onto its own scales. Attached to this tail are two more, lesser pectoral and dorsal fins, in cerulean blue. The pectoral fin pokes out near the tail, and the dorsal fin is further up, and larger.

Cute preview teaser graphic of the game, featuring the titular Tittivillus's face front and center on a green hand-painted field. The demon peers out of a golden frame with scalloped edges. The demon's face is blue, with a batty nose, curled haircut, pointy ears, and blue horns. The demon's wings are somewhat present in the image, but mostly cropped.

The other day I was walking up the hill and I thought I legitimately spotted a velociraptor Like a living gray velociraptor with a long fluffy tail, on a leash And I was so excited until the velociraptor moved past the tree blocking its real hind limbs Turns out it was a borzoi

Wow so Turns out titling your indie game a bunch of inconsistently-spelled words makes it really hard to hunt down where people are linking it on larger sites, weird how that works out huh

Capture them gently #junicorn #art #animal #unicorn #fantasy #digitalart #nature #medieval

Digital cel-shaded art of a white unicorn fleeing an unseen hunter in the woods. The unicorn leaps across an isometric chunk of land vegetated with plants drawn in the style of a medieval illuminated manuscript -- stylized grass and unknown plants, twisting painterly tree trunks, and broad paisley leaves. An arrow with red fletching stabs a tree behind the unicorn, just missing its mark. Below the unicorn, a small hedgehog mom has just rolled in some fresh grapes and is bringing them on her spines to her children in a burrow underground. Watermark: http://hmcgill.art

Surprise indie game drop! Tittivillus Teaches Typning is the ultimate educational* typing game, perfect for if you're a 12th century monk trying to get his fancy manuscript in time to please a grumpy abbot! *not #gamedev #indie #medieval #art #game #gaming #itch #demon chromokun.itch.io/typning

Cover graphic for the tiny but fierce indie typing game, Tittivillus Teaches Typning. It has a lockup in medieval-looking letters on a gold label, hovering over a plush green background. The titular Tittivillus demon pokes up from somewhere offscreen, just his blue batlike horned face visible from the nose up (and a little bit of his friendly smile). His wings spread out behind him and are mostly cropped by the graphic's constraints. Regrettably, as of typing, this game does not have any purposeful built-in accessibility functions for low-vision or blind users. The general consensus on the play experience is that it's a really nice typing game but the demon (and the accompanying main gameplay conceit of typos coming back to haunt you) can go jump in a lake.

Imagine being a 16yo biology nerd girl in 2002, eagerly looking forward to 'The Future is Wild' premiere for weeks and weeks and then, the show premieres, and you have to deal with an Attenborough knockoff narrator excruciatingly describing an imaginary animal they deliberately named the 'shag-rat'
