Iknowthemoviehasn'tcomeoutyetbut-

Hey is Mr Puzzles still popular? No?... Well anyways-

Here's some drawings I made of him cause he's so silly and I love him 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

I haven't been feeling with much energy to draw since I start classes soon so the drawings are not very polished and there aren't as many as other times (srry about that :P). I'll probably be posting just sketches or practice drawings these days

CAW, CAW, CAW 🗣💥🐦‍⬛

One chest up commission of Black Mask for @sarah-nonaginta-novem, created to help bring their unique vision of Roman to life for their fanfiction!

Thank you so much for trusting me with this little project! ^-^/🖤🤍🖤

happy (late) valentines, here's some cards I forgot to post ft the silly bird men

There is no fandom I respect more than the Spy vs Spy fandom. All the people saw a comic who’s entire world is based around “Two guys try to kill eachother every week.” and were like, “Wait… there might be a little something going between those two…” You are all so smart for seeing that.

Like yes, you go girl! Make those weird beaked little guys make out as they stab eachother!!! They are obsessed with eachother and violence is how they express it!!!

You guys just GET IT.

Food for the three Spy vs. Spy fans that follow me.

"What is your favorite type of bird?"

Welp..

Happy pride to whatever these guys have going on

Round 2 - Chordata - Actinopterygii

(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)

Over 50% of chordate species are Actinopterygians (“Ray-finned Fishes”). There are over 30,000 species, comprised of the Polypteriformes (“Bichirs” and “Reedfish”), Acipenseriformes (“Sturgeons” and “Paddlefish”), Amiiformes (“Bowfins”), Lepisosteiformes (“Gar”), and the Teleosts (about 40 orders containing all rest of the actinopterygians).

Ray-finned Fishes are so called because of their lightly built fins made of skin webbings supported by thin bony spines. Actinopterygians are unique for their swim bladder, an organ that allows them to adjust their buoyancy. They are the most abundant free-swimming aquatic animals and can be found almost anywhere there is water. They come in a vast majority of sizes, shapes, scale-types, fin-arrangements, colors, and behaviors, from the 8 mm (0.3 in) long Paedocypris to the 11 m (36 ft) long Giant Oarfish (Regalecus glesne) to the 2,744 kg (6,049 lb) Giant Sunfish (Mola alexandrini). They have feeding strategies ranging from predatory to grazing to filter-feeding.

In most actinopterygians, males and females exist and reproduce through external fertilization. However, some species utilize sequential hermaphroditism, in which they start life as females and convert to males at some point. In a few species, they start life as males and convert to females. Some species give live birth, and some species self-fertilise. Some abandon their young, while some practice maternal and/or even paternal care.

The earliest known actinopterygian is Andreolepis hedei, from the Late Silurian. The teleosts in particular diversified wildly during the Mesozoic, resulting in the high diversity of shapes we see today. The earliest fossil relatives of modern teleosts, (Prohalecites and Pholidophorus), are from the Triassic period, though it is suspected that teleosts originated already during the Paleozoic Era.

Propaganda under the cut:

Many Actinopterygians, especially those that live in the deep sea, are bioluminescent, glowing in a variety of colors and patterns to attract prey, mates, or even just communicate.

Some species of Puffer Fish (Family Tetrapdontidae) are highly poisonous, second only among vertebrates to the Golden Dart Frog (Phyllobates terribilis).

The most venomous fish is the Reef Stonefish (Synanceia verrucosa). The spines on its back produce a venom which can cause severe pain, shock, paralysis, and tissue death in humans.

Male Seahorses (Genus Hippocampus) are known for having a pouch in which they carry eggs laid by the female.

The Harlequin Tuskfish (Choerodon fasciatus) has electric blue vampire teeth.

Speaking of teeth, Serrasalmids have jaws ranging from human-looking nutcracker teeth to bear-trap looking flesh-eating chompers.

The Mandarinfish (Synchiropus splendidus) and the Picturesque Dragonet (Synchiropus picturatus) are the only two vertebrate species known to produce their own true blue coloring. Blue as a color is usually a result of reflected light, and almost all cells that are perceived as blue are actually a reflective black. However, these two mandarinfish species have cyanophores, which are both blue in pigment and reflective, making them the most blue animals in nature.

Many fish are popular in the pet trade (some more ethical pets than others) and some have even been domesticated and bred to display a variety of colors and shapes, including goldfish, koi, Betta, and zebrafish.

Moray Eels (family Muraenidae) have a hidden set of internal jaws, called pharyngeal jaws. While most predatory fish use suction to “inhale” their prey, moray eels just… pull them in.

The Mangrove Rivulus (Kryptolebias marmoratus), a species of killifish, mostly breeds by self-fertilization and can survive for about two months on land. Males are rare, and can only hatch from eggs kept below 19 °C (66 °F).

The most famous pupfish (family Cyprinodontidae, also a type of killifish) is probably the Devils Hole Pupfish (Cyprinodon diabolis). It is a critically endangered species found only in Devil’s Hole, a water-filled cavern in the US state of Nevada. When nearby agricultural irrigation caused the water to drop in the cavern, several court cases ensued, resulting in Devils Hole being declared a National Monument in 1952, including the preservation of adequate groundwater to maintain the pool. As of September 2022, the count showed a total of 263 observed wild pupfish, up from only 35 in 2013.

There are waaaay too many cool fish for me to write about; I keep thinking of cool facts but this is already getting so long and I gotta save some for if this class makes it to the next round 🥲

I wish every sturgeon in the world was capable of understanding how much I love them, I wish they understood they meant so much to me and millions of other people and that they matter so much

i forgot a crucial part of pet ownership: bothering that animal a little

How did you make your head for your Mr puzzles cosplay? (I’m trying to make my own, and I want to get some ideas for the face mostly.

Ok! Lemme tell you how I made mine)

It's gonna be a long one so...⬇️

The head

1) Make the simplified 3d model

It's only base. Without knobs and vent

Here's the link (to open it you'll need pepakura viewer)

2) Print it!

I used high thickness paper, so It would be more sturdy

Next is a long one, so you'll need scissors (scalpel) and a lot of patience

3) Cut out pieces

And don't forget to number them (If you're using the program it will be easier to assemble)

4) Glue pieces together

5) Cut out the hole for the neck

6) To make head even more sturdier we will strengthen it with plastic (not necessary)

I used 3d pen and pla plastic and covered the whole surface of the head with grid

Sorry, no photo :(

7) Cover with thin foam

I used white, 3 mm one

This face didn't make it btw

8) Paint!

I used metallic paint and also painted edges black for the cartoony effect!

How to wear the mask?

For head to be fixed in place I glued polystyrene foam (I had few big blocks left)

And to how actually get it on head I made a door that holds on metal hinges

Knobs and vent

Knobs were made out of cardboard and covered with foam

Meanwhile the vent was created completely out of foam

The hat and antennas

The felt hat was found in the arts and crafts store

Yet couldn't say the same for antennas

Base was made out of cardboard and then covered with polymer clay

As to how I attached them?

✨ 3d pen ✨

And the last but definitely not the least

Screen

The screens glass was made out of palette made of plexiglass (that's also the reason why here it's green)

on the photo the same pallet but this one I actually used for paint

Faces were made using the same white foam and acrylic paint

For the screens to hold up I glued small clamps to the base. This thing allows me to change faces)

That's how mask looks from the inside

Yep there's a hole in the mouth, covered with black plastic canvas. Yes the vision is a bit blurry this way, but it's better than seeing nothing.

As to how I see through them

Ok, that's all byeeeee

Loach appreciation

Fish fact #811

Reticulated hillstream loach!

Also called tiger hillstream loach. Their fins have adapted to work like a suction cup, allowing the loaches to stick to rocks and other surfaces even when their environment has high water velocity!

@rwpeachdaze submitted: Hi,

Saw this critter having a wander across the floor. Was relocated to somewhere a bit quieter. Think it might be a mouse spider. Location UK.

Hello! I'm glad it was relocated somewhere safe and yes, looks like a mouse spider!

Hey, i just got some pangio anguillaris. Could you give us a fact about these noodles?

Sure!!!

Daily fish fact #812

Eel loach!

It enjoys spending much of its time burrowed in sand! They are friendly fish that enjoy congregating with others of their kind.

@damarakap submitted: Hello! I found this friend loudly trying to flip himself over! He was HUGE! But his antennae were very striking in shape! Who is this lovely friend??? (Oakhurst, CA, USA)

Very beautiful....very powerful. It's one of the prionine longhorn beetles. Likely a California root borer.

@passer-ine submitted: Found a cool little guy outside today! (A polyphylla hammondi, if I'm not mistaken.) The pictures are a bit blurry, little thing was on the move haha.

He had important business to attend to! Beetle business. And yes, looks like Polyphylla hammondi.
