I have seen many people lamenting the rise of AI animal videos lately. So I thought I’d make you a list of photographers who post wildlife videos (in addition to photos.) You can trust these accounts, they’re all people I’ve followed for years. Please enjoy!
Finished MAP part for RATATATA ~ been really enjoying OC MAPs lately for practice! Although I'm unsure why I chose two men dancing for my first time doing fullbody human animation..... very scary. I lived! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtAp...

Every year I do conventions my setup gets juuust a little stronger. Had a wonderful time vending at GSFC 2026 after taking a break during the 2025 year!! Per usual the convention staff were absolutely lovely and attentive, and it was just an overall great experience!
Casting call is closed now but, I forgot to share this! The first call for voice actors went out last month for A Horse Tale, an indie animation series I'm so proud to be working on. I animated the little horses, Atlas, and did cleanup for Haïti in this little video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnpZ...

Inevitability of needing to make a warrior cats oc because I'm participating in all these multi-animator projects now LOL. I have not had a warrior cat oc since 2010.... and it's been about that long since I've read one of the books.. hearing everyone talk about the new characters and going WHO, HUH
Been a looong while since my last style swap video, but this time I did Hazbin Hotel characters in the style of Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh! Just a brief little break from all the horses I'm drawing right now. ;> www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9M4...

This one was a revenge for ApexArts! They'd included one of my characters in an animated mass attack so I sent 'em a trot back! First time animating a trot so this was great practice for me! c: #artfight #artfight2025 #2danimation
I'm hosting a free art raffle over on FurAffinity! There's not a lot of entries so far and there's only a week to go! Come enter for a chance at a free sticker! #artgiveaway #artraffle #furaffinity www.furaffinity.net/journal/1118...
Buncha real quick sketches for #artfight! Been a good year for me since I decided to do cleaned-up sketches instead of super slow lined pieces lol.
Like four years ago @tytofi.bsky.social did an AWESOME animated artfight attack for me of Cedar Ceratosaurus walking, and here I am FINALLY getting them back for that >:) A Cerato for a Cerato, muahahah! #artfight #teamfossil
I get so bent out of shape about the last frame of this looking weird that I almost never share it but damn, I gotta show my pencil animations from school more often. As many things as I think look bad about it now, I learned SO much when I did this. #traditionalanimation #2danimation #penciltest
Tbh I don't think my peccary cozy does it justice They are made of so much hair and this just does not capture it. One time at the zoo someone sneezed and all of the peccaries just fluffed up and they were SO. SO FLUFFY.
Got a lil celebrity in the backyard today! Been a while since I've seen a monarch butterfly at this bush :D
I FULLY confess that I'm getting too much of a kick out of making "rare" original species traits that come with lore costs. Yeah you can have a rare furless cave satyr! It'll come with a respiratory disorder :) Lightless? Sure! But you probably got scammed! phoenixofstarlight.com/planet-nirvae
Obligatory Cozy Orca follow-up post!
Phoenix Baldwin@phoenixofstarlight.bsky.social · last yr.I LOVE whenever a new report comes out about a specific orca group doing some wacky new thing but this one is TOOL USE LET'S GO Tho calling it "FIRST marine tool use" does feel like a bit of a middle finger to octopuses. I suppose because it's skin care?? Hmm... www.theguardian.com/environment/...
