Well here's my first art tumblr post!

I plan on posting a mix of new and old art and then just keeping current from there

Anyway, here she is!

Title: Untitled (open to suggestions)

Medium: Pencil, Acrylic Paint

Reference: Unnamed classmate

Statement:

This piece was part of a series, the overall theme being climate destruction. In the image a girl is staring into the beavers eyes, they are sharing a moment of reflection as each considers their role in the environment. They are sharing a spiritual bond as human connects back to her roots. I chose a beaver due to them being ecosysyem engineers. They calculate each log and slap of mud creating a structure so efficient that human engineers are unable to replicate it. They get their title of ecosystem engineers from their practice of digging deep into pond beds so water stays at an appropriate level year round, enabling pond life to flurish. They take a dry pond bed and literally tranform it into an ecosystem full of life.

- That's my infodump haha (you should look into more though I just scratched the surface!)

Hi I'm Latimer and I make edits of scientific illustrations for fun. Feel free to use everything I post here for collages, stickers, prints, etc. - the original illustrations are public domain, so I consider my edits public as well. My mission is just to get more people to see and appreciate these works of art and history.

I find public domain illustrations on the Biodiversity Heritage Library website.

Feel free to send me requests! Just send me an ask with any of these queries and I'll see what I can find:

Species - Anything from scientific names of specific species to something as vague as "algae" or even non-taxonomic like "plankton"

Location - Any level of granularity you think is necessary, from as broad as "North America" down to specific ecosysyems like "Puget Sound"

Anatomical Features - Anything like "Skulls", "Antlers", "Wings", etc

If you want to support me, check out my ko-fi and redbubble.

😬 roommate's about to break the fragile ecosysyem the rest of us silently agreed on for 2nd semester

Good note from someone in the previous poll- the status of the Demon as a true Monster can be put up for debate. According to the way Laios has come to understand the dungeon as an ecosystem, the Demon sits outside of that ecosysyem and thus could be thought of as not really a monster in such a sense.

Also I think the Coatl is really cute and a great tie-back to Marcille's familiar who helped defeat the hippogriff!

for me daedric/aedric is a divide based on whether deities were invested in nirn's creation or not interested in the prospect. and i feel that hircine's sphere is really key to the ecosysyem - it's about the relationship between creatures, a key facet of nature itself. like on paper that sounds very aedric in that it is tied up with nirn's functioning.

I just reckon hircine possibly went his own way with it, or maybe just hangs around the daedra because they're more fun and he feels more at home there.

honestly with some daedric princes I'm surprised they aren't aedric if i'm honest

FUCKING STOP.

Do you want to know? Why we suck as a nation compared to a majority of the world? Do you want to know why I'm a nihilist and hate America and just can't fucking care about much of anything happening in America anymore? WHY WE ARE ANGRY. ABOUT. EVERYTHING. ABOUT. AMERICA. RIGHT NOW?? Watch this video. Listen. Just *fucking* listen. http://u.pw/2kKmeZq?s=p Then come back and read the rest of this rant if you still don't understand. This isn't a funny post. This isn't a polite post. This isn't isn't a argument post; because there is no argument here. This is the wake-up post of cold hard facts. She is an adult (one of you guys older than us "millenials snowflakes") and went to try to find the deepest statistics, the core statistics of why our system is failing us in education, and succeeded by asking the kids who grew up in this system in this last 20 years who actually left America to seek education abroad. Not the students coming here to study, but our own students leaving America - all over the world and asked them. You can't argue her stats, her facts, the fucking reality of the situation behind your political and religious warfare distractions. We need to change our education system. It's not working the way the world around us needs it to work. We need to take a more ancient-Greek-meets-modern-hippie philosophic approach to education. Teaching children about the world, business stuff and science stuff. How science and math can create new exciting things and by understanding it more deeply than "Repeat this equation and solve it idetical to how the book solves it. Just like your great-grandchildren grandma did in 1950, before technology changed dramtically." (Like writing code for technology! Or building new technology! Or curing disease forever!), How to grow food or plants and sustain the natural environment while adopting new business fields to expand our use of replenishable resources instead of pollution emitting/waste producing measures to fuel our world and save the natural ecosysyems. And humane stuff like how to work face to face with people as well as to politely interact online (Our world is fast moving to long online hours and we are barbarically awful online - the same way bullies worked in 1950 onward.), how to make friends, how to treat animals and each other with kindness, How to give generously without giving all of what you have (aka, sharing within reason, aka we need to help bring our education and health care up to actual modern standards: universal tax-paid, government unified healthcare, and naturalistic globally-standardized learning graded with the PISA test), and to appreciate artists and the amazing way they decorate our world and bring stories to film and videogames to life, how to show empathy not apathy, how to be kind not seek revenge, how to be spiritual not Religious®, and that everyone is a human being capable of evil and good equally and we all deserve and equal start in life not this "every man of himself when it comes to basic necessities for life ahaha fuck you poor people" crap going on. If we're not evil assholes murdering, raping, touching kids and other people inappropriately, and other actual morally wrong stuff (or you know those thing you call the 10 Commandments, aka the "golden rule", not "Whose genitals don't match what I think their face indicates they should have?" Or "Who's having sex with someone or in some way I personally don't think they should be due solely to my personal religious beliefs." Or "Whose way of life / skin color is so different from mine that I'm too scared to learn more about them? I'll just kill them before they all end up killing me, because some of them were bad. But my bad guys are ok bad guys. It's different. You wouldn't understand.") Not fighting over religious name brands, political brand names, who's fucking who, who's dating who, who's cheating now, who's dead now, sports name brands, celebrity name brands, etc., and just paying attention to the actual world. Realize we live mostly in poverty standards while earning "minimum wage". Minimum wage means minimum wage necessary to live above the poverty line, not "how little can I legally get away with paying someone for the most work I can get out of them?". $7.75 would be great for 1950. It's a joke in 2017. People are dying in large numbers just because we can't breathe the air, we can't drink the water, the food is killing us, mass varieties of plants and animals are going extinct, your kids can't afford what was considered poverty in the 1950s because minimum wage never rose enough to match inflation of market prices due to new and better tech avilability and vatiety provided by foreign countries. We literally cannot work hard enough to live and the education system is so bad we can't keep up with the technology provided by foreign countries! And you wonder why we're mentally and physically sick and angry all the time? You can't figure out what's wrong? Wake up. Get on board. We need better education, healthcare, food, water, air, and interaction. Aren't you all exhausted from the warring yet? Can't you just try to think for yourself and seek furtheeing knowledge and not just agreeing with what your chosen brand loyalties want you to think and buy because it's easier and doesn't hurt in the short term? It doesn't hurt for long, promise. All it takes is always asking why and finding the core facts, not assuming you know what's what just because you're bigger, older, went to a "better" school, or whatever your issue is with asking and learning even as an adult. What does hurt for long is kids and all kinds of people all around the world killing themselves, hurting themselves and others because we aren't properly equipped to help the mind get better like we can the body when sick. Imagine the strides we could make if we stopped donating to Brand Names and have directly to organizations not charities* and supported STEM & natural education and medical advances. As long as we're failing our future this badly compared to other countries we once called outdated and primal, I can't give an honest care about America's political or religious battle. I'm sick of people believing it's ok to kill based on petty differences. I don't support America and the government it elected. I support the people. (*Google it. Susan G Coleman and PETA take charity donations as salary and fail to give results. They're just brand names now to sell merchandise and pocket the profit. They havent helped donate, instwad they use it to sue other breast cancer or animal charities for rights. Donate to local farmers markets, local hospitals, and local food drives, safety shelters, schools, small businesses, EMS, police, and homeless shelters instead.)
