Sebastian ha passato un po' di tempo nella caserma militare, lontano dall'unica figura della sua vita che gli abbia mai dato affetto e protezione: sua madre.
Ma ora sua madre è tornata... le cose torneranno come prima?
Scopritelo nel nuovo capitolo di "Watchtower - L'Uomo che vide il futuro").

Did you know that the Himalayan jumping spider could be the highest living creature in the world, with a permanent residence at elevations around 6,700 m (22,000 ft)?

Black and white illustration, made with ballpoint pen, of a an Himalayan jumping spider raising one of its legs, like if it's waving. It's standing on the point of a rock that looks like a mountain.

Time for the (marine biologist) family to do some budgeting and update their blog, while searching information about this tall, ginger guy that may or may not be crazy.

Discover this and much more in the new chapter of "Fish Don't Cry".

(Available also in poké-fanfiction version!)

Felice Natale ai nostri lettori! Oggi abbiamo per voi una storia Natalizia un po'... particolare. Una che viene dal profondo del mare. Siete pronti per un protagonista pesce?
E non un pesce qualunque, no, questo, pesce:

Leggete la storia di Tubino di Natale ORA! 

#Pesci #StorieDiNatale #Racconti
Fotografia di uno Stylephorus choardatus, un pesce dall'aspetto curioso, con una grande bocca che esibisce un singolo dente appuntino e due occhi a forma di tubo curiosamente di colore verde fluo. Non ha un aspetto molto natalizio, ma vi sorprenderà comunque (è il protagonista della storia linkata).

Sketch of Scylla, the biggest pistrix of all time... we're trying to create a design of her faster than usual, because we need to make a beautiful illustration of her, and if we succeed, she'll be exhibited at an art show! Yahoo!

#DigitalArt #OdysSea #Merfolk #Pistrix #Sketch #Fantasy
Digital sketch of Scylla, a gigantic female pistrix (a sea monster reminiscent of a mermaid in its composition, with a humanoid torso and two arms, atop a very long tail) wearing a traditional Sicilian headdress, similar to that worn by the "Teste di Moro" (typical Sicilian vases). To the side of her is a sketch of what her face looks like when her mouth is fully open, resembling the head of a draconian monster. Next to the main figure of Scylla are two figures (a human, Seraphin, and another pistrice, Sangreal) for size comparison.

As the literacy rate declines, you’ll ask yourself why the quality of life continues to deteriorate in ways large and small, and in almost every instance the answer will be: because people stopped reading.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

Whistle spreads her wings in the night, ready to glide where she is needed (probably a rotisserie). Maybe she seems heroic and supernatural, but not even she can resist the street food of Palermo!

Ballpoint pen sketch.

New #Gargoyles OC just dropped, and she has a silly name 🔥

She's an "halfling", an hybrid between a gargoyle and a member of the Third Race; we see in the series what an half-human halfling looks like, and we wanted to explore another possibility ;)

#Grotesque #Fae #ZookaZooka #ColoredPencils
Zooka's first colored character design. Zooka Zooka, a hybrid between a grotesque and a fae, has green skin, a pair of slightly branched horns, and wings that act as a cape.
