The first few grinning worms were a bit of s blunder; they imploded under their own potential being contained.

Ghost turnip, Fintown, County Donegal, Ireland, c. 1900 (replica), National Museum of Ireland

Frightening face carved into a turnip to place a candle in

"In 1943 the National Museum of Ireland received a turnip lantern from a schoolteacher, Rois Ní Braonáin who was teaching near Fintown, Co. Donegal. She stated that it was the type that was always made in that locality around 1900. This plaster-cast model was created and painted by the museum artist, Eileen Barnes.

Candles were placed inside the turnips and they were used to frighten people on the night of 31 October. The pumpkin that is prevalent today is an American development of this Irish tradition." https://www.museum.ie/en-IE/Collections-Research/Collection/Top-things-to-see-in-the-Irish-Folklife-Collection/Artefact/Ghost-turnip/b202e8ea-0728-4b3d-b0f1-82660fe45ce9

Inktober 2025 - Day 15 - Ragged

A trick or treater is joining you! Their scarecrow costume looks good, and they have some convincing zombie-shuffling going on! Rather quiet, though...maybe keeping in character.

This Jac is the king and ruler of all invertebrate life.
so devoted to his rule is he, that his entire consciousness is spread across uncountable trillions of microscopic insectoid bodies compressed even smaller than single cells across multiple worlds.
No ability is forbidden to him.

2 attempts at a 'realistic' durant
1st attempt took more after Leafcutter and army ants, while the second one I made after learning that Bullet and Bulldog ants have reduced, or lack queens entirely so it takes after them

#Mashaween25 day 14 - candle.

Digital illustration of a living crow-shaped candle. The wax around the head has melted to reveal a crow‘s skull turned upward, mouth open, an ember glowing in its eye socket.

Inktober 2025 - Day 14 - Trunk

The eater of socks (who supposedly sports a magnificent trunk) would be friends with the luggage (also a kind of trunk, see what I did there :B) because I think they both like making people's socks disappear.

been over a year and this hot rat lady's still got me in a choke hold 🔥

artwork of the character Jane Doe from the video game Zenless Zone Zero. she leans forward with a smug facial expression, pointing at the viewer with her right hand while her left is held behind her back. her tail curls around the backs of her legs, the tip moving upwards to hover near her right hand.

My character Mudd is a happy little boozer and in contrast with my captain haddock picture; she's enjoying his fave 'loch Lomond whisky'.

Little batty me wants some.

Started out as a giraffe but ended up more of a camel. Made me think that maybe a teapot of Turkish coffee would be more appropriate, and that creature idea may come up later this month.

Spookiest decoration at the "Zoo Goes Boo" event at the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids? Giant model of parasitoid wasps hatching from cocoons affixed to their caterpillar host.

Large model of a green caterpillar, the back of which is covered by dozens of white cocoons. Wasps can be seen emerging from some of the cocoons.

If youre in the UK and havent signed this petition, please do despite their response here. At 100k sigs they have to discuss it again

Petitions arent a silver bullet on their own, but they help communicate how many people do/dont support something. Its low commitment and worth doing!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.
