Taranth finally joins the bluesky service. Guten Tag :D

This is never getting finished. I returned to it after a long break and after laying down some color, my fear of losing detail came true. I tested the colors first and thought the black for the crows and gray trees wouldn't be too dark but i was wrong. I was so excited for this piece and I ruined it

If you're gonna be arrogant and rudely shut me down when I tell you where a thing is, then waste my energy "helping" you look for it, I will have the satisfaction of wasting yours too. It's hilarious watching a grown man have a total meltdown for a whole hour while giving him the silence he wants.

Replacing my keyboard, as it's slowly been failing and using the on-screen keyboard gets old fast. But the very first thing to remove besides the battery is the hard drive, and the screwhead stripped with my tiniest screw driver. Hope the super glue trick works, or I'm SoL. I hate repairing laptops.

New month, new hobby. Trying flower pressing to decorate pinned bugs, using mostly flowers I grew myself. I found some shadow boxes for displaying them, too. This whole project has been an experiment that needs loads of improvement, but I'm eager to keep working at it!

A Banded Sphinx Moth (Eumorpha fasciatus) with Four-o-clock flowers, which this moth species visits nightly during the summers here. This is my first pinned specimen. Although its wing was already slightly smudged when found, I sadly damaged it more in handling. Despite the flaws, however, I like it. It shall live in my room.BildEastern Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa virginica) and an absolute giant of a ground beetle (I think; can't find an ID) are currently drying to be displayed later. Like with the moth, these were found already deceased.An assortment of flowers grown by me, plus fox grape vines.

Old art. I still want to share more of my older stuff too. I once had this character, Koyukuk, (an Alaskan town) who was a nyala (an African antelope)...Yeah, made no sense to me either. He was a mute with a chatty bird. They worked a forge to smith armor for a cause I've forgotten. 'Twas an odd mix

Drawing of a shaggy brown antelope with white stripes and long, sweeping horns. True to his grumpy nature, he is wearing a slight frown on his face.
