Panspermic fauna analogous to terrestrial organisms with subtly distorted physiognomy, from Doug Chiang’s ROBOTA. The creatures in this book were native to a long-vanished solar planet between Mars and Jupiter.
Happy belated birthday shout out to #wildographer, photographic guide, co- founder of @articaphototours & co-author of Stuck in Erindi Namibia Lockdown, @chase.teron ・・・ If you want to learn wildlife photography skills then follow their new page @ultimatephotocourse which came about after being stuck at @erindinamibia with partner @jenninaturally.
There’s editing sessions from all three within the 33 modules plus techniques, specialized techniques, essential skills, optimal camera settings for certain situations and more!
Mwezi was originally created for the same role play where Auri made his brief appearance. I based the idea of her around a character that could turn into mist and could generally move around both by day and night without notice. Dark shades of blue have always been my favourite colour, so when I decided she would be almost completely black it wasn’t very difficult to also decide to give her fur a bluish tint when she is in any kind of light. She is an imaginary offspring of a lioness and a cheetah, which I dubbed chion. . Mwezi is a proud member of a medium sized nomadic pride of lions. She has very little recollection of her father, and does not know the circumstances that led to her parents meeting in the first place. The only clear memory she has of her father is that he was a proud king cheetah capable of bending the element of air to his will. It came as no surprise when Mwezi began to show signs of having inherited the same power. Determined to master the skill, Mwezi trained persistently until she could not only create winds but also seemingly turn the very air solid around her and even use it to propel herself through air. What she did not anticipate were the side effects her vigorous training would have on her, as she one day realised when her whole body began to shift into a cloud of mist. She has since learned to control her shifting, though sometimes her body tends to revert into mist form on its own if she is not actively focusing on keeping herself corporeal. .

Cheetah feets! #cheetah are the only big cats without fully retractable claws - an adaptation that gives them more traction when they run, increasing their ability to make sharp turns. Over time, their claws actually become blunted from all that speedy movement! #bigcats #bigcat #spotted #predator #spots #speeddemon #conservewhatyoulove (at Houston Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvtuByrh2gw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6m80ionzy2mx
I’ll be attending HeroesCon in Charlotte, NC next weekend, June 14-16! Pre-show commissions are still available and can be ordered here! I hope to see some of you there!

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family that is unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. Therefore it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx. It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 460 m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 km/h in three seconds, faster than most supercars. The adult cheetah weighs from 40 to 65 kg. Its total body length is from 115 to 150 cm, while the tail can measure up to 85 cm in length. Males tend to be slightly larger than females and have slightly bigger heads. The cheetah’s chest is deep and its waist is narrow. The coarse, short fur of the cheetah is tan with round black spots measuring from 2 to 3 cm across, affording it some camouflage while hunting. There are no spots on its white underside, but the tail has spots, which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end. The cheetah has a small head with high-set eyes. There are several geographically isolated populations of cheetah, all of which are found in Africa or Southwestern Asia. The cheetah likes to live in an open biotope, such as semi-desert, prairie, and thick brush, though it can be found in a variety of habitats. Info:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheetah

Some sketches done during breaks from uni work a little while ago. Needed to destress and draw some of my own characters rather than stuff for uni c: First sketch is in reference to a GF episode :>
