Happy Solstice! Here's a caravan of stoats in their winter finery, for the occasion.

Happy pride everyone!!!

here's some mustelids i drew with that scan style i've been trying

ID: a digital drawing that features eight members of the Mustelidae family colored with some lgbtq+ pride flag colors. From left to right, there's a yellow-throated marten with the non-binary flag colors, the flag is besides it as an impact onomatopoeia; a tayra painted with the aromantic flag colors, and some sparkles and stars besides it; a ferret with the trans flag colors, and a little trans flag near its paws; a marbled polecat in the asexual flag colors, and a little heart and ace of spades; an ermine with the bisexual flag colors and two hearts over its head; a long-tailed weasel in the lesbian flag colors with some impact onomatopoeias and sparkles around it; a pine marten with the male gay flag, a line over its body and two little hearts near its paws, and a sea otter in the pansexual flag colors, as well as three hearts near its head. End ID.

The baby :) I love him so much. Will be turning these into stickers in my shop soon.

Giant otters are the apex predator in their environment, and have no serious natural predators threatening them. The reason they're currently listed as endangered is because of poaching, habitat degradation and ecotourism, all due to humans. ©Discovery Channel

Labradorite Pine Marten

Character design commission for Parallel3 from DA! I don't open commissions officially (and doubt if I ever will), but this one was really fun to work on! I was very excited about the idea to mix pine marten and labradorite stone, since mustelidae are my favourite existing animals to draw (I feel I need to draw them more).

Character belongs to Parallel3. Don't copy or use.
