There are some quirky odd places in the UK, this one near where I live. A calm little fishing pond, somehow surviving wedged in the middle of a large industrial area, with a lone wind turbine at the end. Have seen people fishing here, though I might be a bit dubious about the catch!

Neat :) Then a related word, Coach, which may be obvious to be tracing back to the horse-drawn variety, but even before, coming from a Hungarian town's name somehow where they were made. How that specifically made it to become an English language word, a miracle!

A (not so) little bit of insect appreciation, a crane fly decided to visit, landing in a spot just all too inviting to take a shot! Wacky chance, outdoors never anything stays put, a window sometimes can do the trick.

Whimsical strange world, beautifully done! Nice to see you continuing doing these sceneries, places beyond imagination. Would be interesting to walk under those giant mushrooms, or possibly cautiously paddle a dinghy on the waters.

Beautiful, lovely creature! Nicely done! :)

That's what we get for sticking with monopolies. There is limited incentive to make the product better if the customer can't really choose something else anyway.

An avian lycanthrophe - ouch! Guess don't be 2000 feet up in the air when the full moon rises!

Maybe that's why we don't see too many of them around.

Why the water tastes funny, daddy?

Indeed yes, now realising he has the metacarpals as part of the leg / wing leading edge, unlike bats where they are part of the wing surface.

I like the prehistoric vibes, at glance sort of a weird cross of a monitor lizard and a pterosaur, interesting, unique creature!

Maybe a bit random, if you might like to look at the real stuff, pterosaurs. They are a lil bit weird, but real creatures who were airborne (and there are some early long-tailed ones as well). Flight is tricky! :)

Love the detail here - and the expressions! :) Feels very authentic, how shedding is just a thing of everyday life, and part of their cleaning routine.

Óóó, köszi :)

Oh look, he hefted all that fluff up there!

My exceptionally pudgy creature still likes to be active, walk, explore, all the better to have some rest on something soft and fluffy once inevitably he gets too tired!

Just in case, if anyone sent me a private message, looks like I will need to go VPN shopping, please be patient / reach me by other means.

Didn't set up one yet as I tend to be fine without "adult content" which UK regulations forced behind dodgy (or too expensive to be affordable) age verification

Absolutely! And can relate with "make", eh, can dream! :D

There was an attempt somewhat akin, at least one I know about, though presented like a normal documentary (with speech), Alien Planet (2004).

Of all places, it is the UK where I get to have the joy of circumventing government barriers. Miserable.

There would be means to solve this if we were lazy to parent, without needing to send ID everywhere. But tracking and crippling small devs is good, at least for those up there.

It's Gameboy! With rumble pak! (At least sounds like I imagine one would :D )

Memories! I recall seeing these, seemingly magical patterns folding over three dimensional shapes, conjured without assistance of a computer... Familiar somewhat with how these could be planned out and made with pen and paper (ruler and compasses), can only more appreciate it. Wonderful creations.

Guess "Home Taping Is Killing Music" was only ever meant to apply to the plebs then
