Na-Na-Na-Na-Na Bat Hawk (Macheiramphus alcinus)! Named after its favorite snack, and not to be confused with your favorite superhero, this raptor mainly feeds on small bats. It has a wide but fragmented range and might be seen in parts of Africa, Southeast Asia, and Papua New Guinea. It lives in a variety of habitats, such as forests, wetlands, and savannas, where it spends most of its day roosting on a perch. But when the Sun starts to set and bats come out, this bird is quick to strike. Within about a 20-minute timespan, it can catch and gulp down as many as 11 bats!

Hice unos cuantos bocetitos rápidos de Fili, encontré esa foto y me dio mucha ternura ver sus dedos gorditos

I made a few quick sketches of Fili, I found that photo and it made me feel so tender to see his chubby fingers.

Necesito más dibujos lindos de Fili, a veces siento que no tiene suficiente amor

I need more cute drawings of Fili, sometimes I feel like he doesn't get enough love.

Some exciting news today! You can finally preorder the e-book of [HOLIEST] on Amazon and Itch.io!! Links below:

[Amazon preorder] [Itch.io preorder]

Additionally, you can also add the book to your GoodReads! [Here is its page]!

More info about the novel under the cut—

"Dies illa, dies iræ, calamitatis et miseriæ, dies magna et amara valde, Dum veneris iudicare sæculum per ignem." (That day, day of wrath, calamity and misery, day of great and exceeding bitterness, When thou shalt come to judge the world by fire).

Set in a universe that combines Dante's Hell with Milton's angels, HOLIEST follows the mistakes and delusions of Hell's prince as he falls into psychosis, believing that the Day of Wrath is upon him. The novel also features over twenty-three artworks by the author, who is a professional illustrator.

Originally shared online in 2019 as a web series instead of a book, this heavily revised and expanded first edition of HOLIEST has new illustrations and new appendices including a glossary, a list of characters, full explanations of the structures of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory, expanded explanations of the Angelic Choirs, the three hosts, the nychthemera, and has updated maps of Hell and Pandemonium.

RELEASES AUGUST 13, 2025.

Judges 14:8-9

Some time later, when he went back to marry her, he turned aside to look at the lion’s carcass, and in it he saw a swarm of bees and some honey. He scooped out the honey with his hands and ate as he went along. When he rejoined his parents, he gave them some, and they too ate it. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion’s carcass.

Another installment in my Heresy obsession, and an interpretation of this scene. Thanks so so much @mizpasta for being so patient with my notes, absolutely incredible job as always!! Another version of the drawing below, as well as the process (y’all should totally commission her btw).

Genesis 3:14-15

So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed are you above all livestock     and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly     and you will eat dust     all the days of your life. And I will put enmity     between you and the woman,     and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head,     and you will strike his heel.”

So... I started writing Heresy a few months back. New project, woot woot!! Talked with a few friends, developed some stuff, yapped some more, and commissioned the incredible @mizpasta yesterday for a poster/book cover.

Obviously, she did an absolutely amazing job, literally reached into my brain and drew exactly what I wanted, and I will be annoying about it forever because OH MY GOD. Oh my GOD. Expect many more Heresy posters from her because I am actually obsessed.

So. I did it. Ow.

Starting to think I should make a timeline for Pre-Eden Heavenly and Hellish events so I don't mix stuff up. Gotta keep track of what's going on before I accidentally contradict myself.

But I don't have the t i m e

"... You're what??"

[helplessavacado]

they’re breaking the dress code iconically

[helplessavacado]

the biggest loss of animated movies trending towards sympathetic villains/no villains is that we dont get enough crazy death scenes anymore. stuff like tarzan's villain accidentally hanging himself or help i'm a fish's villain drowning and floating away silently on screen. sometimes your movies just need stuff to scare 8 year olds shitless. its good for the enviroment i think. probably.
