HOUSE OF ENID / ILLUMINATION PT. II 

My cats wanted to fight again and I wasn't letting them but the passion in their eye contact suggests they started fighting telepathically

just overheard my wife spelling something on the phone and i shit you not saying the words “E as in Eeyore” i am on my hands and knees wailing screaming crying pleading and begging people to learn the NATO phonetic alphabet

like the reason this exists is because none of the words sound like each other, which means that even with a terrible signal both parties should be able to clearly understand the words being spelled

i am dead serious that i believe this should be taught in school

Here's a link to the full Friday Fred post for no particular reason

I just realized that apparently I never shared this series here on Tumblr??  

I call it Living Paintings, as they are recreations of extinct animals that some artists actually saw and painted from memory, a long time ago.

Recent updates to this series: Glyptodon and Thylacine!

OK SO a frozen baby Homotherium mummy has been found in Siberian permafrost and everybody is going nuts (including me). I had to make another installmente for this series with a figurine that has long been debated to either depict either a lion or Homotherium; Despite anatomical details pointing to the latter, there was no record of surviving Homotherium from the time the figurine was dated to have been made, so it was mostly believed to have been a cave lion. However, the frozen cub closes that temporal gap and makes it more likely that this was in fact the subject of the sculpture. So even though it’s not a painting, here it is brought to life.

started thinking about how my aliens would draw humans, as well as how they would draw simplified depictions of themselves

good morning everyone have an absolutely furious mongoose

It’s cuter when you recognize that the lion with visible spots is a juvenile. There’s a very high chance the other lion that runs over to investigate is the MOTHER.

The first lion is asking for comfort because she was given a big spook!!! and she needs mommy to tell her it’s safe and ok!!!! (What’s cuter is that mommy clearly reassures her, and goes on to take the parent role of ‘deal with the scream rat in order to protect my large and easily frightened daughter’)

this is all in all an adorable video 10/10

SHUT

actually you’re completely right that the original lion is a juvenile, but it’s a male! his size and the fact that he still has some baby spots left also indicate that he’s a very YOUNG juvenile, equivalent to a human preteen!

so really what’s happening here is a fantastic mother dashing outside with a broom to defend her 13-year-old son from the angry opossum that he just found in the trash can while taking out the garbage.

And quite clearly neither know what to do, really.

I love how mom looks into the camera like “are you SEEING this shit?????”

i can't even escape the spam messages in video games now

Attention everyone! If you've ever bought one of my regular palindrome keychains and are interested in the ARPG I run about them, I'm now giving out imported genos that match the keychain to those who buy them, or who have done so in the past!

(And so on and so forth for the rest of the designs I sell)

Everyone who has one of these and wants to redeem one will get an import with exactly the same lines/markings, but I colorshift each one just a liiiiiiittle bit so that they aren't totally identical. But they are supposed to be the "average joe" basic representative of each ecotype.

Anyways if you've bought one in the past and want a guy to play with, shoot me some sort of proof of the order and your DA user.

My puppy is rather malleable when she’s napping. Decided to make a quick stop motion animation with her!

This prime access is going to be a bit different for me, because:

I'll be joining @tbgkaru and @royalprat-art to co-host a fashionframe contest!!

I'm really really excited to be a part of this and you all should check it out November 24th!!

As I'm also putting my Xaku Prime Access pack giveaway into the prize pool, this of course means I won't be running my own giveaway event here on Tumblr as I usually do. Sorry to anyone who may have been looking forward to it, but I think overall it's for the best as school has pretty much eaten up all of my time and energy to make stuff atm. Still, this is going to be a really fun alternative and I hope to see some of you guys there!
