This is the first photo of the crows that I feed! It's from last summer, there are now 6-8 crows I feed!
They live right across the road! And in the back of the field behind out house!
I drawing I did in my early teens (probably around 2007-2009).
Sketched it on paper, scanned it onto the computer and coloured in photoshop.
I've always loved games like Zelda that includes a lot of nature of magic, fantasy etc.
Something about a lone wolf surviving in the wild, where things aren't perfect but they are natural.

Abbott's Sphinx Moth: this caterpillar has a false eye on its rump; it mimics the features of a vertebrate's eye, and even includes a white reflection spot
The formal name for this species is Sphecodina abbottii.
From Minnesota Seasons:
The caterpillar is up to 3″ (7.5 cm) long. Middle stage (instar) caterpillars are whitish to bluish-green. In place of the horn found on other sphinx caterpillars, there is a raised orange knob on the eighth abdominal segment (A8). Final instar caterpillars come in two color forms. The brown color form has longitudinal streaks of light and dark brown mimicking the color of a woody vine. The green form has on each abdominal segment a large, pale green, saddle-shaped spot on the upper side and a similar smaller spot on each side. The pattern is said to mimic a bunch of unripe grapes. Both forms have a black, raised, eye-like knob on A8 complete with a small white spot mimicking reflected light.
When the caterpillar is pinched or poked, it often squeaks and bites at the attacker.
The fully-developed moth also has a unique appearance -- it has an ash-grey/blue coloration with streaks of pink and black.

To raccoons, the masked bandits of the night. May their nimble fingers always find the juiciest trash, and their mischievous hearts forever be filled with curiosity. Let’s raise a glass to these trash pandas, the unsung heroes of our backyards.

Gray and Brown
Old worn cliffs that echo tales both old and new.
A speeding stream running beneath drawing the curious to those that echo the present and past.
Stories told by the gray and brown bluffs, not trough words but presence alone.
“We have worn time itself” they seem say through bumps and cracks.
Wistful Mother frost could only slow their white words of water, creating great beards of ice that will melt in but months to reveal their faces of Gray and brown Stone.
Old digital painting I did like two years ago. But I still like the vibe it gives.
Hey people, just wanted to show you some of what I believe are my best pictures I have taken ( I recently changed phones and these are the recent ones I have, I had better ones) any way, let me know what you think of them, I also have pictures I have taken of me and of my gf that I believe are 100% better than these, I work better with a model haha. Let me know if you would like to see those too!

it was Karlys b-day this month which is why I wanted to draw him. I decided I'm drawing any character AT LEAST on their birthday, that way I actually draw my other characters and not just the same two all the damn time. Last time I drew this dude was September last year.
Commissions (open)
"Sudden Chaos"
... on a normal day, peaceful and quiet. Wutz went to her favorite place near the cliff together with her friends. Well.. Fluffy wasn't really a fan of spending time with them but the last piece of pizza made him stay for a bit.... Lui seems to notice an explosion somewhere.. It seems to be in the distance. "The formations are getting bombed again" ... who knows what's going on again this time. Very likely a dragon going crazy or the silly crypto people fighting. Fact is, peaceful day activties are over for the 4. "Time to take action"

Nice and warm in there.. Not quite sure how I came up with this but Lui looks cool in there.
This is all one character/ his rainbow dragon mutation he can separate from his body too. Needed something to fill out the space inside the glass. Lol
No worries as a god he can't suffocate ;)
Plant Lovers 🌱
An illustration of my characters surrounded by plants! Which is at the same time a graphic for my plant collection page on my website! I thought that would be a cool addition.
I tried out some different overlay filter which makes the colours pop a little. It's a bit messed up on the big monstera leaf though which I noticed way later. But no big deal
Open for commissions!
Check out my epic plant collection :'D
I finally finished it! 🐺🐺 I hope my mom will like it ☺ This is a mix between a wolf and a bird. That's why he has feathers on the chest. And yes you're right it's a double exposure 😊well.. I tried.. ! I really love colorful and creative feathers , that's why I drew so many of them on its head 😆 I'm currently working on another digital artwork! (Arttrade ) and I'll upload a speedpaint of it on youtube!! I already worked 3 hours on it and not even the head is done 😂 🐺 . References used for wolf anatomy, the bird (kingfisher) and the orchid ☺ (all real life photos, no art from others! )
