I made a stealth media center for my off-grid cabin! It is a Raspberry Pi Zero with Kodi loaded onto it.

I do want to add a fan, and I need to find a super small TV or monitor, but it does work!

I wanted to try and redo an old drawing of mine.

The first one is the new version, and the second is the old version.

Every morning, I've been gradually working on a walking stick. It's the first I've ever made, so it's been great practice.

I just finished the wood burning, and now I am going to try leather wrapping the handle (another thing I've never done before).

Drawing of my character, Heafrion. I'm still struggling to get his appearance right, but i think I'm getting closer.

Question: does this look at all like a nuthatch? It's my uncles favorite bird so i wanted to surprise him with this, but I'm not sure if what I painted looks right.

I know it's not super detailed, but the slice is probably only 2 inches across, so I did my best with the small space.

A practice drawing of my character, Elyra.

I was insanely nervous, but I took a chance and submitted a short story to an anthology( #AllWorldsWayfarer ). Friends, the story was accepted!!!

The story was based on an old Scottish horror folk tale about a fairy type called Baobhan-Sith.

I'll share more info soon!

This is the anthology: https://www.allworldswayfarer.com/

Haggis is trying to learn how to howl

Question, is this starting to look like a river otter?

I am trying to whittle a gift, but I underestimated how difficult it would be to make an otter look at all like an otter

In #WhereTheyLurk, the magic system is crystal-based. The crystals hold magical energy, and you can deplete them of that energy completely.

The colours of the crystals does have them lean towards certain magic types, but it is not always clear.

New creature! This is a Leafscuttler. They look like leaves from above, in order to fool predators. They spend most of their lives on land, and will dig into the sand to hide.

They are essentially a mix of a horseshoe crab, green crab, and lobster. Like a horseshoe crab, they have blue blood.

Does anyone know what’s going on with these pollinators? Pollinators of all sorts were covering this lakeside bush, but not others of the same species nearby.

I noticed this poor damp bumblebee trying to shelter from the rain. It was gone once the storm cleared.

I wandered around a fantasy-themed event last weekend with my camera and my dog…and I made my poor dog wear a costume. Don’t worry, though, he loved all the attention it gave him.

My computer monitor is acting strange (its getting a little fuzzy) and I can't afford a new one, so I've been trying to get as many drawings as I can done before it dies. I can do this! ୧(๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭

This is another character from the story I am working on, Where They Lurk. His name is Fynlar, and he is a bit of a goof, but has a good heart.

My Brain : so I know you had things you wanted to get done today…but what if you mixed a mudskipper with a dragon?
