Corruptober Day 4: Engrossed

@zrex-utau

i’m very curious about something, please rb and put in the tags:

do you know how to touch type? if so did you learn in school or elsewhere? how old are you?

Sometimes humans are just the best! A very good (and brave) Samaritan brought this eastern diamondback rattlesnake into the hospital after it was hit by a car. Look at this beautiful angry serpent!

That head wound looked pretty concerning so this baby went for a CT scan to assess the damage to its skull and soft tissue.

It might seem crazy that this wild snake could survive a tire to the head, but rattlesnakes are incredibly tough critters. Their heads are so muscular that when they’re struck by a car they can often survive with minimal damage to the bony structures of the head. In this case, the trauma from the tire forced those impressive facial muscles through the skin without breaking any cranial bones. Fortunately, an incredibly skilled exotics veterinarian was able to surgically repair the damage. Here it is after surgery!

This baby did great after the procedure and recovered beautifully. After several weeks in a wildlife rehabilitation facility, this rattlesnake was well enough to be released into the wild. You gotta love a happy ending! I know venomous snakes can get a bad rap, but just because they’re a little scary doesn’t mean they don’t deserve our love and respect.

This piece was so much fun and the further along I got doing it, the prouder I became.

I only got a little half way through corruptober. And although it’s not October anymore, I’m not giving up. Life came at me with family issues, school becoming even more overbearing, and bureaucracy issues within my school. Piling on Halloween, decorating, planning, and preparing for my birthday, I left a lot undone. But hey! I’m 21 now, I got an art tablet I hope to have time to try out soon, and my family all met my boyfriend! I’m hoping that things will smooth out and continue to look up. Here’s to hoping!

Happy polyamory day everyone!!! 💙♥️🖤

Corruptober Day 3: Toy

Clockwork eye. It reminds me of steampunk, which I have always loved the asthetic of

My mother had the idea of painting Christmas scenes, scanning the image, and transferring them onto shirts for Christmas this year. This will be my shirt. I’m starting to learn to leave my paintings alone when I get them to a passable state, as continuing often leads to me liking it less.
