Flatworm (phaenocora) gets slapped in the face by rude nematode

2nd image: Spathidiid, cyphoderia, amphileptus, nassulid, stentor roeselii, turaniella vitrea, homalozoon vermiculare, frontonia, amphileptus procerus

My cat, Flora, passed away yesterday. She was a very lovely cat. She had a quiet, squeaky meow, and never bit or scratched me. It has been very difficult that my two cats who I have had since I was a child have both died so close to each other. I really miss both of them. I do not want any more pets for now, but I have a stronger desire to volunteer more at the animal shelter near where I live and help the cats there.

Finished walk cycle animation I forgot to post

La Fábrica - Ricardo Bofill (an old cement factory turned into a home) [1900 x 1200]

Some pictures of stuff I took with my microscope this past month, which is something I've been very interested in lately

Left to right: closterium, carchesium, frontonia (I think), heliozoa, heteronema acus, tardigrade, lacrymaria olor, blepharisma

My buddy Ghost passed away 2 nights ago. I got him in 2011 when I was 4 years old. He was always hanging around his people and loved to sit on laps and beg at the table like a dog. He smelled like an old wool ski cap. I feel very grateful for being able to spend my childhood with him.

Some screenshots I took of one of the (currently unnamed) worlds from the new 2kki update. I am a sucker for pre-rendered backgrounds, so this world quickly became one of my favorites

Rough draft 12-frame walk cycle animation that I was working on. It was going to be a player character for a project I was doing in Godot game engine, so the goal was an isometric 8-directional walk cycle. I haven't really had the motivation to work more on it lately.

I was looking through the wikimedia commons page on helmets for a reference image for a character I'm drawing and I was jumpscared by a fellow with an atrocious haircut.

Heres some more miniature wood I did that I haven't uploaded here. The 2 at the bottom are the most recent ones, which I think look the best. time to start designing the full structure now for real

some results of my newer method for making miniature wood grain on plastic (tamiya pla plate 0.5 mm). I carve the lines on it under a magnifying glass, and paint over it afterwards. I think i've made more than enough of these, so I'm now going to try to design the actual building that I'm going to put these on... it can be hard to come up with ideas though

Fasciated dandelion I saw in my yard today. You can see its size compared to the regular dandelion.

I was screwing around on "our world of pixels" for a while and I tried to recreate this panel of Faputa I like (the one in my profile picture). Somebody recognized what it was from which was cool

More practice painting miniature wood grain. work in progress. I'm going to make some newer ones once I get some new paints (I ran out of some)

Practicing painting wood grain effect on plastic. This is the attempt I just finished. First post here to tumblr... hello
