Talamanca Hummingbird from the May #BirdWhisperer

I was really excited by the composition of the photo so I chose to focus on those shapes first and foremost.

I really like the light greens of the plants growing on the stump vs the background, it really pleases me

Hen and Wren.
Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.

Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen and a Wren regarding each other quizzically. The hen stands in a patch of wild grasses whilst the wren perches on a small, leafless shrub in front of her. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache. The drawing is finely wrought and intricate. The piece is roughly the size of a business card.

Thank you, you're so nice. My favorite Pokémon is blastoise. Let's be mutuals :)

It's Tierlist Tuesday. This is my ranking of sports by how entertaining they are imo. Sports are ranked only by tiers and not by their specific placement in the tiers. #tierlist #sports

I hope I'm not too late for #PortfolioDay, cause I have some newer stuff to show!

Hi, I'm a traditional mark-maker who loves ink and adding details to lots of my subject matter. Colour generally scares me.

Daily art practice. I was going to draw a plume of feathers behind her(like a carnival outfit?) But realized it would take too long. I'll clean it up and do the shading at some point. #wip

The dark phoenix saga is... ok.
80s xmen comics are extremely hit or miss.
There are too many x men. And mutants in general.
Jubilee is cool. Easy B tier.
Dazzler is cool. Easy A tier.
Psylocke is like, C tier at best. At best.
Professor X is a horrid person and he shouldn't lead the x men ever.

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 1d

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

Daily art practice. Abs and such. Ribcages and hips are confusing.

Birds of the world 🌍🦜 @mybirdcards.com · 6d

Name this bird! 🤔 (See alt-text for clue) 🌏 #NameThisBird #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜

"I am an Australian cockatoo, instantly recognizable by my vibrant rose-pink face and chest contrasted with my grey wings and back. I am highly social and often seen foraging for seeds on the ground in large flocks across open woodlands and farmlands." What bird am I? 2.5 Flash (Edited)

I was out for the last two days (with the flu I think?) So pretend I posted this on Friday. Wishmaster had some great practical effects and the antagonist was legit creepy. Knock off is fun if you like 90s/00s martial arts movies. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #moviesky

Phantasm .5
Knock off 3.5
Wishmaster 4- I liked this one.

I'd assume a popular furry account probably liked/reposted it and their followers saw.
