RATATOUILLE — 2007, Dir. Brad Bird

Can you show us the weirdest animal in Mexico?

Paxon:

Why yes! I have posted this long ago, but it's time to show them off again!!!

Mexican Mole Lizard (Bipes biporus), family Bipedidae, endemic to the Baja California peninsula of Mexico

This 2 limbed lizard is fossorial (burrowing underground). They breed and lay their eggs underground.

It is one of only 3 amphisbaenians that have limbs.

They are the pinkest when young, and turn whiter as the mature.

Though they are rarely seen, they may actually be quite common in their range.

As with many burrowing creatures shaped like this (such as legless lizards and caecilians), there is a belief among some local people that they enter the anuses of people who defecate outside… this is, of course, not true. (Many of these animals are called “tapaculo”).

HUZZAH! My submission for the MHWilds Webcomic Contest! I asked when it would be ok to submit this to other platforms, and was told it would be after the winners are announced- soooo here it is!

For all the stuff I had to handle in the time prior to the deadline- it's not too bad! Admittedly could've used more time to do this, but irl stuff kept me occupied for a while. It was still fun nonetheless and definitely gave me a bit of a kick to get back into making comics.

Please keep in mind that, at the time of this being posted here, I still have not gotten the game yet, and I need to clear room on my computer comfortably first before getting it since I know it's large - I will say though I LOVE this flaming octo sooooo much, amazing addition to the series! Very fun to draw :D It's a bit long- but I wanted to leave a... bit of a cliffhanger, ehe-

I'm so sad this blew down in the high winds, but one of my neighbor's redwood trees had an albino branch!

Even the wood was lighter. So pretty.

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Draw a vampire centaur.

The full saga from this post of mine. President Bishop, pinnacle of keeping his thoughts to himself, and Dr Stockman, as loud as he is clingy. I wanted to have all the drawings in one place :)

Ngl, trying to draw them both so many times was a harrowing challenge. You’d think by now I’d have them down 😅

Woah guys did you know my commissions are open btw. That’s crazy
