Not finished yet and this isn’t a pen and ink illustration, but a black and white rendition of a 3d model, but I love to share this herring. Except for some bones in the pectoral fins the skeleton is all but complete

All of us who work in the intersections of science & art owe it to *our planet* to fight as hard as we can against misinformation, disinformation, genAI slop, devaluing of human artists & scientists, the myth of "science versus art", the lack of humanities in STEM & the lack of STEM in humanities
boosting this to the #SciArt feed. this ties in with a thread that @restingdinoface.bsky.social was posting about earlier. Science & art are not opposites — they're *intersectional* disciplines. Greater than the sum of their parts, & so badly needed in this age of disinformation and AI slop
Thank you. Yes, that‘s a problem with a lot of 3d animal models. I think the cause is twofold: most 3d modelers don’t have a biological background and biologists and similar don’t have enough 3d modeling skills.

This makes the post-9/11 NSA warrantless surveillance program look like digging through people's trash (which the FBI also did).
That caused such a backlash there was still congressional activity on it a decade later.
This is absolutely blood-chilling levels of state overreach and so far crickets.

The northern flicker is the state bird of Alabama and often referred to as a yellowhammer which is funny sometimes bc businesses will call themselves yellowhammer and use the image of a eurasian bunting instead of a flicker
