Bunch of doodles.

Inspired by my recent completion of more Mignola's series (not Hellboy this time) and continuing my Darkest Dungeon playthrough.

Doodle/studies inspired by Darkes Dungeon. Left: a big mustachioed man holding a cup. Right: The highwayman in his defensive pose.

Opossum that arrived in Alaska on shipping container, christened ‘Grubby’ by devoted fans, has died

The Virginia opossum, which ran loose for weeks in Homer before being caught and taken to the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage, died from complications of old age, the zoo said.

also this panel is burned in my mind forever

"she's just trying really hard y'know..." – younger me who kinda missed the point

A manga panel showing some insects and a big moth (upside down) mimicng an owl.

THERE ARE INSECTS THAT LOOK JUST LIKE OTHER INSECTS.
FOR EXAMPLE,
THERE ARE HORSE FLIES THAT LOOK LIKE BEES, NONPOISONOUS MOTH SPECIES THAT MIMIC POISONOUS ONES, AND EVEN A TYPE OF MOTH THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE AN OWL!
THEY'RE BORN
THAT WAY, KNOWING TO MIMIC TO SURVIVE...
AS DOES SHE!

found a gradient map i downloaded and decided to have some fun w it!

Digital drawing of a reddish brown unicorn standing facing slightly to the left in a white void. It has a long horn, long legs with cloven hooves, a long tail with a yellowish tuft of fur at the end, and white splashy markings on its legs, body, and face.

My bare feet felt the cool, soft dirt
Moving up my ankles, but I don't fear you

although I think most poetry nerds for sure have not forgotten H.D. that's less important than how good and timely this is

WHIRL up, sea -
Whirl your pointed pines,
Splash your great pines
On our rocks,
Hurl your green over us,
Cover us with your pools of fir.

the sky looked white, the water like wine

A photo of a black and white woodcut print of a human figure sitting on the ground, a flame burning in their cupped hands. A large black bull lays behind them, his head overlapping theirs so they share it. His eyes sparkle in the light of the flame. In between his horns is a crescent moon and 6 stars.

A Cooper's Hawk, sitting on a neighbours roof, pictured through a rain covered window as it stood in the rain. It was there all the while I was in the shower, and waited for me to get dressed and take the pictures. #Birds 🪶 #Photography #EastCoastKin

A Coopers Hawk on a roof. It was raining and the bird's feathers are floofed a bit. Some of the orange breast feathers seen even though the shot os from the back, with the bird looking over its left shoulder. Red eye visible and crokked bill. Banded dark tail feathers and grey back also floofed.

now that i realised there's some kind of relationship between the two, whenever i feel deep fried by supermarket or train window or whatever, i look forward to the random piece of extremely trivial memory to pop up in my head
