BIRDCAGE  (Avis Caveam)🕊️🗝️

"Gigantic bird-like beings that stand out for their bizarre appearance and hunting method. They capture prey with their malleable rib cage bodies akin to trapping something within a birdcage (hence the name) and later start pecking through the gaps to feed. The ribs can also extend to grasp larger beings and their seemingly hollow thin bodies allow for a silent flight, making them a threat to even humans. To complement the name the tip of the tail resembles a key. 

Despite their vicious hunting nature younglings can imprint or be tamed as they grow"🗝

the reason why im postin abt the gila monster 2day is bc like

this is their face. & this is their skulls

me, posting stuff for over 7 different fandoms at random all on the same blog:

i just found out tumblr was storing over three GIGABYTES of cookies on my device without me knowing and that's why it's been running so fucking slow recently... incredible. anyways everyone go clear your fucking cookies. don't let this website run a goddamn video game's worth of disc space in the background for no good reason.

an angel would fuck a streetlamp and it would be nothing. it would be like a dog thoughtlessly rutting against a couch: pure instinctual pleasure chasing with something that may elicit but not share in your libido. but if an angel fucked a cell tower then viable offspring could very well result

that one time Djura wanted to make a point but accidentally invented the Kirkhammer instead

#fun fact#we opted for 'two very long lungs' option for our taurs :)#which are more densely packed with alveoli (air sacs for gas exchange)#their upper chest cavity really consists of like... four total major organs#lungs. heart. and a first stomach.#everything else is down below~#we opted for not four lungs for many reasons but mainly the more stuff you have to fill with air#the less efficient they will work- your first set of lungs near the airways would fill first then the second presumably larger lungs second#makes breathing way my complicated than a simple in and out#though we HAVE seen lots of designs which make the four lungs work :)#oh#we do stick to the double hesrt rule though.#one is the complex heart near the lungs which oxygenates the blood#the second one is for making sure bloodflow is uninterrupted and this is where the bulk of the cleaning of the blood happens#also two stomachs minimum.#first one is grinding only and looks for things that Really Shouldn't be in the body#cuz fun fact!#once a horse swallows it's not coming back up#but these are people and we don't judt have horses- so body plans have to meet in the middle for some things.#so taurs have at minimum two stomachs to make sure they don't get poisoned or swallow sand#nutrients are derived and broken down most from the second stomach nestled right near the front of the ribcage

Centaurs....... centaurs have two rib cages. I don't like that.

I think your trademark is like your very distinct contrasts and striking compositions in your artwork. Like your linework especially is very distinct to me.

(Also you have good taste in games)

THANK YOU I LOVE ME SOME GOOD CONTRAST

also lineart is the part i'm most insecure about my art so this means a lot to me :D

xurkitree is the only attractive pokemon

everyone else is wrong

For legal reasons, pretend this is not a confession. [x]

Do You Love the Color of the Sun?

Get dazzled by the true spectrum of solar beauty. From fiery reds to cool blues, explore the vibrant hues of the Sun in a mesmerizing color order. The images used to make this gradient come from our Solar Dynamics Observatory. Taken in a variety of wavelengths, they give scientists a wealth of data about the Sun. Don't miss the total solar eclipse crossing North America on April 8, 2024. (It's the last one for 20 years!) Set a reminder to watch with us.

inspired by @asp1diske The Watcher comic! I thought it was actually insane and had to draw the final frame.

LMMS - indeed
