Every time I look at a belted kingfisher, I wonder how they keep from falling over, with that giant head and tiny feet! 🪶

Magpies are another animal I have used in my art a lot. I love these tuxedo clad opportunists, they are quite striking in sunlight with shades of blues, greens and purples on their seemingly black feathers. Here is a colloection of magpie art made throughout the years.

Kneesvember 2025 Day 11
The red knight is in the foreground, speaking to a distracted group. Grell is wistfully watched the snipe wading away. The blue knight is releasing the yellow knight's steed, the great bumblebee. The blue knight's dragonfly steed is hovering overhead. And finally, Bagglyn has her cap back–with arrow still lodged through it–and is tentatively picking up the yellow knight's discarded sword. "Hah! That was no Dragon, but a mere malevolent minion of darkness!" scoffed the red knight. "Forget that yellow-bellied knight and her leaden greaves. Onward! I have a strong notion we shall find what we seek." So onward they went–toward certain disaster!

I’m making a reference sheet for The Borb…would there be any interest in making species sheets for werewolves and werecorvids?
A WIP reference sheet of my werebird character - weremagpie to be exact. Showing features on the front and back.

Hiiii
It's trans awareness week and I'm not very open but I am a trans guy!! Lil skrungly nonbinary. A cryptid gender fluid ~

I make weird art and write about broken characters changing themselves to live freely~
Doodles of my mortal human flesh in different poses. Stressed weirdo who keeps dying their hair pink to say fck it to gender norms. Wearing sweatpants and my fav "I love zombies" shirt. A biblically accurate angel, 3 skeleton nuns with multiple wings colored of the trans flag. They sit upon an upsidedown cross that has eyes on all points, bleeding tears. They bless you with protection! Masculine slime person who is melting into a rainbow puddle. Their hair is wavy rainbows. They are not sad, but look focused on you. Surrounded by glowing rainbow stars. Detailed close up of their eye fades on the background. My trans fallen angel, named Nth. This beast does not have a head but a floating single eye and a halo that is the nonbinary and trans flag colored. Their body is opalescent, all limbs are like lizard claws with little neon pink hairs. Their tail is a vibrant rainbow of yellow, orange, blue and purple. Their wings are that of the trans flag. Strange eyeballs with wings float around them as little cherubs.

Kneesvember 2025 Day 10
"What a horror!" cried the yellow knight, "What a brute! What an ogre! Gaze upon its great lance! We haven't a hope to defeat this beast!" Unbuckling her sword's sheath and renouncing her knighthood, the yellow brid vanished into the wood. "I think it looks quite kindly for a Dragon" said Grell. We see a snipe wading near the shore. Grell and the blue knight look on.

"So," began the red knight, "when capturing my likeness in tapestrye, ordinary red thread simply wouldn't do my plume justice–" but was interrupted by the yellow knight frantically pushing him from behind. "Shhh! Hide!" she hissed, "Dragon!" A dreary scene in monochromatic pencil. The warbler crew are moving behind a rock in the foreground to stay out of sight of a scary beast at the water's edge.

Kneesvember 2025 Day 8
Bagglyn is shown inventing a story with yellow and red stars in a green speech bubble. Grell is next to her looking nervous. Along the bottom of the panel, we have the blue, red, and yellow knights, all in a row. The red knight is laughing and the plumes of his helmet are touching the yellow knight's head. The snail is also there! "Errr... we are the Queen's historians, sent to record your heroic feats to relay to Her Highness" fabricated Bagglyn. "Your peasant garb is an uncanny disguise" laughed the red knight, "though I wouldn't have used so much dirt!" "Ha" said Bagglyn, "Ha ha ha ha." "I weave them historical tapestryes!" blurted Grell, "all them pretty pictures with nothin' but wee threads!" he continued, winking at Bagglyn.

Without warning, the knights erupted from the bushes and immediately subdued Bagglyn and Grell. "Who are you and why are you following us?" spat the red knight. Author note: there is an image of the blue knight shooting his crossbow in a very cool fashion The red knight marches aggressively through bushes to our peasant warblers. Bagglyn has had her red hat shot off and stuck to the trunk of a tree by the blue knight. Grell is lying prone on the ground with a blank look on his face. The yellow knight has her boot on Grell with her sword pointed directly at him.

Kneesvember 2025 Day 6
Bagglyn and Grell are in the woods sitting on stones in front of what they believe constitutes a campfire. Grell is eating berries and Bagglyn is looking to the right. After flying for several hours, the knights stopped for lunch. Bagglyn and Grell did the same just out of sight. "I didn't know the realm were so immense!" remarked Grell, gawking at the unfamiliar landscape. "I b'lieve we passed b'yond the realm and entered the Wylds" replied Bagglyn. "The wuh?" enquired Grell at great volume, spitting out a beak-full of queasyberries.

Kneesvember 2025 Day 5
Tiny silhouettes of birds, one in front with 5 (including flying steeds) and one behind with 2, fly in an early morning sky. There is the slightest hint of warm colours on the horizon. Oh also in the sky there's a cloud in the shape of a bird skull. The knights set off before dawn, and Bagglyn and Grell were not far behind. Ominous clouds hung over the realm, but warblers are a notoriously unsuperstitious folk, and took no notice.

Kneesvember 2025 Day 4
The three knights are beside their respective steeds on the ground layered in yellow oak leaves. The yellow knight has a bumblebee, who is eating from a plate of flowers; the blue knight, who has a crossbow and an eyepatch, has a dragonfly who is eating from a bucket of pink slop; the red knight, speaking expressively with wings spread wide, has a snail. Later that evening, the knights packed for their queste. "I have ne'er afore encountered a Dragon" admitted the yellow knight, who fought for honour and glory, "are they large beasts?" "And where shall we seek one?" added the blue knight, who was very cool. "Friends! Worry not, for I am an expert in such matters! said the red knight, who was a great liar. Note: there is a small drawing of Grell and Bagglyn watching the knights very obviously from behind a fence.

Kneesvember 2025 Day 3
Two peasant warblers are speaking to each other in the crowd. The first is yellow and gray-blue and is wearing a red hat, medieval-style. The second is dark gray and orange-yellow and is wearing a sort of brown tunic, medieval-style? The crowd around them are all drawn in uniform purple to make them blend in. "I wish t' see a Dragon!" exclaimed Bagglyn, a lowly worm-whistler from Mudhole, straining to see over the crowd. "I know wherein them noble knights keep their noble steeds!" replied her friend, Grell, the stable boy, "We could follow 'em in secret on their noble queste!"

A large crowd of birds is gathered in front of the Queen, who is an ovenbird wearing a crown and a purple cape with white furry trim. There are three knights standing at the end of the royal rug: a redstart wearing a helmet with a red plume, a yellow warbler with a belted sword and metal boots, and a cerulean warbler who has some straps but we see nothing else. There are yellow and purple bunting flags and some banners showing the Queen's image. Growing increasingly eccentric in Her old age, the Queen ordered Her three finest knights on a most dangerous queste: to retrieve the head of a Dragon!

Birds are flying toward a castle with several red-roofed towers built at the top of an enormous oak tree. The sky is blue and there are wispy clouds. The tree is full of orange leaves and there are red and yellow trees in the distance. The image is bordered by a red, yellow, and blue, uh... border, with little stars and patterns. On the Queen's seventh birthday, brids from across the warbler realm were flocking to Oakcliffe Castle to take part in the festivities. (The first letter is illustrated in its own cute little box, technically termed an historiated initial, like in medieval manuscripts)
