Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

It's #PortfolioDay!

I'm Alicia, an illustrator and handcraft artist from Andalusia, Spain. I love to draw historical fashion and fantasy in digital, traditional and mixmedia!

Would be lovely if I can work as a book illustrator✨

It's #PortfolioDay so here's a few images I'm happy with, off the top of my head. I work in the animation industry & I love drawing animals - extinct and extant. Sometimes I draw short comics.

Aesop's The Fox and the Crow (better known in France through Jean de la Fontaine's verse retelling). Ink on Saunders Waterford hot pressed, 165 × 250 mm. From December 2019.

#ArtAdventCalendar

Silhouette illustration in black ink. Against a snowy, forested landscape, on a snow-covered, raised bank by a thin trickle of a stream, a fox sits beneath a bare tree, looking up at and speaking to a crow perched on a branch. The Crow carries a piece of cheese in its beak.

Third painting from my triptych of stuff I saw on holiday in Mali Iž last August:
Assumption of Mary is a holiday in Croatia, and in Mali Iž there is a party, which traditionally involves tying a bunch of boats together, side-to-side, and sailing in formation ("alajo-vez").

fav track from "Madder!", I think, with "They" being close second
The guys were still on tour with "Mad!" until like a few days ago
and then suddenly they drop "Madder!" what the hell why are you so prolific and talented

#duckduckgo makes it easy to exclude AI images from your image search
I don't love that they have their own AI assistant but you can turn that off easily too

Scene I saw on island Iž last August. Zrmanja is a water-carrier, brings water to islands that have no water supply.
The water is transferred from the ship to people's reservoirs by a long hose. This takes all day. Meanwhile, children decided to occupy and take over the ship for their own purposes.
