Spent an hour or so just kind of messing around tonight, and this Utahraptor was the result!

A digital ink drawing of a utahraptor ostrommaysi standing in an aggressive posture, seen mostly from the side. The dinosaur's mouth is open, its neck stretched, and its arms tense and curled up.

For sashabarkov on tumblr, a male American Kestrel! Here he is, scouring the field of dead sunflowers for mice feeding on the fallen seeds. Thanks for the #Waymakers donation!

The 2025 Waymakers Challenge ended Sept. 30 - check back next year if you missed your chance to donate! 🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

Illustration of a male American Kestrel perched on the dead stalk of a sunflower, golden and dry. He fans his rufous tail as he sits alert and watchful, head extended, as if looking for prey. He has a blue-gray brow with a dark reddish crown, white cheeks with black vertical bars, and lightly spotted orange and cream belly. Behind him is blue sky and the blurred remains of more dried sunflowers.

Hyacinth macaw sketch. Originally just ballpoint pen, but I added the yellow digitally, then flat blue and grey too because why not at that point

some slightly old art for #repostober? Candy corn siphonophore #art #halloween

A digital drawing of a fictional type of siphonophore, whose zooids look like candy corn. The "top" of the creature looks like a corn husk. From the bottom of the zooids are many tentacles. The background is dark blue with smudges, meant to look like an image from the deep sea. Around the edges is a yellow, orange, and white border. At the top right is a paragraph of text that reads:

"A species of siphonophore whose zooids look uncannily like candy corn. Alas, experts assure us that they would not taste like candy corn if eaten. Then again, no one has tried."

Hi there! I'm a digital artist focused mainly on drawing animals and creatures. I repost a lot of other people's art here, but if you want to see just my art, you can either search for posts by me with the #art tag, or use the following feed:
bsky.app/profile/did:...

Some examples of my work:

A drawing of a female western bluebird. A geometric, circular pattern is behind its head, resembling feathers and colors from the bird. It's standing on an orange stump, the background is an orange gradient.

A digital drawing of cumulus cloud rabbits. There are 2 rabbit clouds running along a hilly green landscape. They're spawning smaller clouds, and some cloud bunnies, behind them.

A digital drawing depicting the different oryx species. Top left: Scimitar-horned oryx. Top middle: Gemsbok oryx. Top right: golden oryx (not its own species, but a color morph of the Gemsbok). Bottom left: Fringe-eared oryx (subspecies of the East African oryx). Bottom middle: Common Beisa oryx (subspecies of the East African oryx). Bottom right: Arabian oryx.

An information sheet about a species of phoenix called the Common Phoenix. Looking like sort of a cross between a chicken and a peacock. Image in the bottom left is the phoenix in a walking/standing position, tail splayed out behind it like a peacock's. Image in the top right is the phoenix in flight. Bottom middle contains images of 3 different types of feathers from this phoenix.

Unfortunately there is too much text in the image to put here. But there are 3 sections of text. Top left is the main title: "Common Phoenix - Fire Elemental". These phoenix are the manifestation of wood burning fire that burns at temps between 1110℉ - 2550℉. They only burst into flame when they die. As adults their internal temps start at 135℉, which rises through their life.

Middle section: "Life & Death". Phoenix can either manifest spontaneously, or hatch from an egg.

Middle right title: "Feathers & Farming". Phoenix feathers are highly prized and the phoenix is farmed mainly for these feathers.

Old painting of a phoenix, based on a photo of the back view of a sunning sea eagle doing droopy wings and looking like real bad anatomy.

Some sketches and color ref for some old characters I created back in elementary.
I still need to tweak Visera’s (bird-thing) colors and I’m still not fully happy with Vortrek’s (lizard-thing) design
•

#ocsky #sketchbook #art

Top half of the page is dedicated to Visera, and the bottom half is dedicated to Vortrk.

Most top doodle shows Visera standing idly. Under her front talons to the left shows her angrily yelling.
To the right is a small side view of her smiling.
To the right of that is her looking smug.
Above is a front view I gave up on.

Underneath the Visera doodles to the left is Vortrk resting on his wings.
Directly to the right is a tiny doodle of him with his mouth open.
Underneath is a side view of him while standing upright.
All the way to the right was my first go at him standing upright and not really liking it.

Visera’s original description: “Her beak looked like it was made out of diamond and gold. Small smooth feathers covered her whole body. Her front legs looked like an eagle and her back legs looked like a wolf. She had the eyes and tail of a lizard. Her wings were like that of an owl.”
While I do like her design quite a lot, I definitely want to change the coloring of her back legs. I wasn’t sure what to do, and I didn’t want to make them golden, so I just colored them the same as the feathers.

Vortrek’s original description: “His snout was like a komodo dragon. His fangs were dripping with venom. His whole body was covered in scales. His front legs were like a lizard and his back legs like a dinosaur. His tail like a whip, wings like a bat.”
Poor guy was a victim of my dinosaur/lizard hyper fixation of the time, hence his very lackluster description. I did my best the make him a bit more interesting to look at.

Seeing as I never actually wrote down the color of their scales/feathers/etc, I took some create liberties lol. I made Visera’s feathers iridescent, her front legs golden, and her talons diamond. For Vortrek, I really don’t know what to do so I kind of made his scales iridescent as well, just not as dramatic.
