Lamprey and Lampern… I've been making some plushie fish!

Daily fish fact #789
Caspian lamprey!
As its teeth are blunt yet its digestive system is functional, it is speculated this fish feeds on carrion or invertebrates, one of the only feeding yet non-parasitic lampreys! During migration, individuals can travel as much as 16 kilometers a day upstream.

was looking up sea lamprey and found this wonderful image of a guy getting slorped on

10:1 scale model of a broad bodied chaser (Libellula depressa ♂) by Julia Stoess
It's hard to get a sense of scale but this sculpture is 80cm wide!
Every bristle is selected and glued individually, often using elk, reindeer and dog hair. Her models take 3-6 months to finish. As a model maker and bug fanatic I can't get over the attention to detail and how well made the wings are??
Dragonfly requested by @stargod , and below I've added my personal favourite, her 10:1 May beetle model ❤️

The first scene is DONE! Slower going than I would have liked, but much better than nothing as I get back into it. The bronchitis still isn't entirely gone, but it seems to be nearly there.
Additionally, Darth has completed modeling the remaining 3D assets! Now, they just need some shader fixes and rigging.
Here, we see Sophodra busy at work with the toilet. Can you name the specific species of plant it's based on?
Over the weekend, I'll try to get the new assets finished up. Then, a week on staging the remaining scenes now that I have the final assets. Probably another week to animate those scenes. Hopefully my energy will improve and it'll be just a month to animate the scenes after that, but we'll find out. Thanks to everyone for bearing with me. Until next time!
Anurognathids were perhaps the weirdest yet cutest-looking pterosaurs. Instead of long, pointed bills, they had wide, amphibian-like mouths that were probably best suited for catching flying insects. Anurognathus itself was a small creature around the size of a robin, but Jeholopterus (third painting) was closer to the size of a hawk and was the largest member of the family. It may have fed on small vertebrates rather than insects.

Just got into The Property of Hate on Sunday and what do you know, the first thing I draw is THIS.
