The Skvader (Tetrao lepus pseudo-hybridus rarissimus L.) is a Swedish cryptid made up by a man named Håkan Dahlmark in 1874, and later constructed by taxedermist Rudolf Granberg in 1918. It’s a combination of a European Hare and a Wood Grouse. It was formerly displayed at the Biologiska Museet which is listed as Permanently Closed sooo I have no idea where it is…… 🫥

ANYhoo just to explain why it’s more cartoonish - I went into this one planning on using it for 2022’s paper ornament. 

[Fun fact: Fall is my favorite season and I’d never seen the leaves change color in person because “Florida”.]

Pokemon Go: Swinub Community Day 2019 Hi Tumblr. It’s been a while. I’m still playing with my pencils. :3

🧜‍♀️ HAPPY MERMAY! 🧜‍♂️

This piece was started on Isabela Island in 2008, after reading Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut. It's a fictional story about the last fertile remnants of humanity surviving on a small island and slowly evolving into sea mammals.

Kurt's description of their "sealion-like" features was so fascinating I HAD to draw it right then and there, and ever since then it's remained an unfinished sketch. But a friend of mine liked it and encouraged me to submit it to Art Order's publication, Beneath The Waves, so... here it is!

⭐️ If you like it you can help it get into the publication by voting it up! ⭐️

Finally colored this as a tribute to the dark times. When this screen was the unholy gatekeeper of all that is good and fun. But I’ll never see it again because I finally got around to updating my phone... so... onward to brighter days! 🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!!! 🎏

The eclipse shining through my cardboard pinhole projector reminded me of someone. 🌙 🐾

So much multitasking this week between work, home repairs, and touching up art cards. But Rokurokubi really benefited from the extra care.🖤 She’ll be at my Free Comic Book Day table with Nekomata and more!

I made some fan art for the super swell folks that voiced my favorite crime duo Eric Stuart and Rachael Lillis. :3 It was a real treat to have time to chat at their signing tables. They were so nice! Plus Eric liked how I drew James (particularly his nose).. and that just made me so.. SO happy. ^^

Got any empty patches on your tree? Print out one of my Unconventional Paper Ornaments! They're free to download in my Print Shop. All you need is a printer and a pair of scissors (or an x-acto knife... prefereably).

All of them (except the Jackalope) are available in a presentable format to give as a gift, as well as a white version to save ink while printing your own. Cuz screw wasting ink... shits expensive. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ CLICK FOR ORNAMENTS!!!

Day 3: African Wild Dog I love their ears SO MUCH! Even if they're a pain to draw.

Day 4: Wallaby Homage to the only wallaby character I knew as a kid. Future zooly sketches will probably be even dumber, since I have a new TGS page to color right now. XD Sooo... yeah. Just warnin' ya.

Day 26: (Rothschild) Giraffe   I’ve been slacking on the Zooly art challenge, so I’m glad I had a giraffe for today. She was made for the Eurofurence banner project where I and ten other artists were asked to design eleven 6 x 1 meter (20 x 3 ft) cloth banners with assigned African animals. Working with a file that size nearly killed my old computer.

Day 2: 9-banded Armadillo. Work, and a spontaneous trip to the west coast kept me busy but I didn't want to miss this one. I don't think I've ever drawn an armadillo. o_o Day 1 is on FB, didn’t want to share it here cause it’s a repost of old art.

Hurricane season means waking up to no internet. 🙄 So may as well plan out how to shade nekomata. 🐈🔥
