#snail challenge

[mspi]

Would you take this challenge?

My goodness that snail would kill me unless I had a layer of salt around me at all times. Doctors are just going to need to deal with it.

Why can't I catch it and place it in a jar with it'sy own rainforest? Nothing said it can't be caught.

~an excerpt from Violet Sewell's private journal~

Winter 1914

I think it's always a bittersweet day when a mother realizes her little girl is well on her way to becoming a young woman. We recently celebrated Elsie's twelfth birthday and I hate to admit it, I found myself getting quite misty eyed when letting down her skirts for what feels like the fourth time this year. She's closing in on me heightwise and I swear just last year she was only at my elbow. She's looking so grown up even if she's still in short skirts and pigtails. Her hair has recently darkened to more of an auburn than the fiery red of her father. It's almost a combination of his and my coloring now.

I made a special birthday supper for her; she loves fish and Will was able to purchase a beautiful carp in town so we had that fried up with some tomato preserve. The real showstopper was dessert though, I made a coconut cake - a flavor none of us had had before. I had seen the recipe in my Ladies Home Journal and when I came across the coconut at Greenfield's it just felt serendipitous. They're ugly things and quite hard to get open, but the aroma was very pleasant. The cake turned out lovely, I even caught Charlie licking his plate, a behavior I strictly admonished. As a birthday treat, I wouldn't let her help a whit with the cooking or clean up, even if she has become quite a hand in the kitchen.

She's grown into such a responsible young lady, I am quite proud of her really. She's always quick to help and is quite accomplished with her embroidery and knitting. She can be a bit fanciful at times, no doubt encouraged by all the fantastical stories my father tells her and Charlie; I haven't the heart to tell them they're all embellished to high heaven or just pure fiction. The faith of youth is such a special thing and all too soon the world will feel more real. Time certainly sneaks up on you, I recently came to the sobering realization that I was only six years older when I married Hamish. It seems of late more and more of the young ladies of Brindleton have been finding beau's from further afield, Britechester or even San Myshuno. I can only hope Elsie won't stray so far when she marries.

Happy MerMay #7… or 8

Sorry for the missed update, I’m probably just going to be able to post every other day because my month just got really busy. But anyway, here’s Cone Snail/Sea Anemone, I’ve posted him before but I still think he’s cool.

[ohshy]

punch out furry edits - bug edition !!!

here we have escarjoe and mac-erpillar the japanese emperor caterpillar :3

[flame-shadow]

I'm sorry if it's improper to ask, but have you got any updates on Snail Traveler? or have you been too busy with other things to work on them?

Also I just wanted to add that I'm a new follower and love your buggy stuff, have a great day ^^

That isn't improper to ask at all. I forgot to update things here after I got busy, so I'll happily say it now- the Snaveler skin is finished!

However, there is more prep work to do behind the scenes before it's ready to be released, and that's what I haven't had the time/energy to complete yet. I have to save a version of the skin for every color option I plan on providing from the start, and I am working with a friend to create a showcase for the skin (that is, a little video demo of the skin). And there's a little easter egg I still have to finish the art for, so I can add it to one of the color options.

So, like, the skin is technically done and playable, but only as a turquoise color snail, when I would like more colors available to choose from upon release. :)

Also, thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy the bugs

Here’s a piece I made for a secret Santa between a server im in!

Pokemon Challenge 2024! #1092 Snata.

Snata is a Bug/Ground type based on New Zealand's giant carnivorous land snails! You read that right - they can grow almost up to the weight of a small duck and eat other insects found on the forest floor. The Māori word for land-based molluscs like snails and slugs is ngata (the 'ng' at the start is pronounced softly as a dipthong).

Sorry for going quiet for a while - I ended up being admitted to hospital for gallstone complications and was in for a week including a minor operation, and it's taken me the better part of another week to get back on my feet since I was discharged Saturday. I haven't drawn anything since I got out but I'm feeling the itch.

Find the rest of the Te'Roa set in my master post!

snail! blue snail! snail that is blue!

[gwinverarrouz]

me: well, I’ve decided that I would draw whatever my heart desires for the last part of the challenge, so. what do I want to draw

me:

me: LITTOL CRITTERS

Aah, that was so nice. I love this actually. Just pay me to paint various amphibians, crustaceans, insects and other little beasties and I will be happy I think.

(Featuring my beloved little cat as well!)

And thus concludes my “photo studies without picking colours” August challenge! I redrew the picture I did at the beginning of the month and while the difference might not be the greatest (?) I do feel more confident so, yay! Good job me you did it

I really want to go back to drawing less realistic stuff tho XD

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

(references from pexels.com, except the cat which is mine, putting some comparisons under the readmore if you want to see how well I did with the colour matching)

Frost snails are harmless, so long as you don't let them go crawling on your skin. Their shells remain icy cold for decades after death; I know some gather their shells to keep in the summer months or ship to warmer climates to toss into drinks or sew into hats and the like. I've always loved watching the ice crystals grow in their wake.

Been casually doing Weird Medieval Guys Inktober. This is the result so far.

Writing you all an imagine

Okay, not completely true but I'd like to get back into writing more and thought a little challenge could motivate me. Please feel free to request something. Just give a Python (character) and give me a little scenario.

And I mean little bc I'm only gonna write a drabble or dribble drabble - whatever, about 100-300 (maybe 500) words. Though I can't guarantee for anything

Just request whatever you'd like! Y/N, ships, characters from show or movies. Anything Python related should be fine. You can comment here, message me or send an (anonymous) ask. Go wild with ideas really :)
