The skull of a Flat-tail horned lizard (Phrynosoma mcallii), close relative of the 'Texas horny-toad', native to the Sonoran desert. Unlike the thorny spikes on the body that are made of modified skin keratin, head spikes (horns) are bony skeletal structures covered in keratin. (📷: Emily Chebul)

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Dailies with Dustbot: #smaugust Edition! No. 4: Gossamer Despite their frail appearance, the gossamer wings of a fiskkite have shocking tensile strength and a propensity towards rapid regeneration. #dragon #dragonart #smaugust2026 #fantasyart

Soon I will have a special announcement regarding these creatures of the deep and the stars, but for now... A requested familiar in black and purple, a favorite among warlocks and necromancers. #needlefelt #fantasyart #dndart #lovecraft #monsterart

Throwaway test with watercolors

Tiny frog

another new delightfully silly galeaspid has been named 🐟 bataspis crux originates from the early devonian of china, and is described by meng et al. in an #openaccess paper, linked below onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... (art by dinghua yang)

Recently, we posted some videos of Wounda – one of the rescued chimpanzees at Tchimpounga Sanctuary. We also shared some photos of the baby she had, named Hope. We've have seen that some of you want to know how the two are doing now, and we have an update for you! Photos: Fernando Turmo

Hey y'all, I hope you've kept cool this summer! Lee and I just had a big, necessary move into a new apartment! We're so happy with the new place, but unfortunately I'm not paid for days off. New Witch Mark slots and a new PWYW comm for silly creatures have opened up! Anything helps us, thank you!!

Echinopsis cactus putting on a show in my backyard this morning 🌵

I have so much trouble with waking up at 1-3am and just... not falling back asleep as my brain runs itself in circles. It's a huge problem on workdays cause I have to be up early. I might have to talk to my doctor about sleeping pills but I need something that won't make me groggy the next day x.x

Yesterday I painted a Tufted Puffin on my livestream. They live along the northern Pacific Rim rom California through Alaska to Japan. It's available as a greeting card. 🎨🐡🪶 •Speedpaint •Greeting Card Listing •My Website #Birds #BskyArt #Art #IndieArtist #GreetingCard #BSNM #Birdart #Puffin

Here are the concept designs of two mammals I did for the last two episodes of Surviving Earth. The famous Mastodon and Falcontoxodon #paleoart #sciart

Nice examples of memento mori and a really interesting one (first photo)

I made a new sticker design right before we left on our con gauntlet. #art www.monkeyminionpress.com/products/boo...

This place is real, but it's also an amalgamation of memories. The way we remember a landscape can be very different from its literal appearance. Some things become larger and clearer, others smaller and fuzzier. 🧵

Here are some fetching photos of the sea

Skulls and Sheets@skullsandsheets.bsky.social · yesterday

Aldeburgh was the inspiration for Seaburgh. The Wyndham is a house James and his aunt visited, the white lion is the bear in a warning to the curious. The pump was installed by James' father and Martello Tower which features at the end of the story I think (light bad for photoing it)

Wishing you a tree-mendous Tuesday 😁

Went to Skyrim yesterday, aka Artist's Point. 45 degrees F and misty with rain clouds. Too crowded for my taste but I'd love to go back in the off season 🥰

and when you're sad, i'll sit with you
