Some Amazing Art By Kevin Hong! I Love The Way The Dragons Are Drawn!

These are really neat lizards!

FIVE BANDED GLIDING LIZARD Draco quinquefasciatus

Draco is a genus of agamid lizards that are also known as flying lizards, flying dragons or gliding lizards. These lizards are capable of gliding flight; their ribs and their connecting membrane may be extended to create “wings” (patagia- similar to flying squirrels), the hindlimbs are flattened and wing-like in cross-section, and a flap on the neck (the gular flag) serves as a horizontal stabilizer (the flag is sometimes used in warning to others).

Draco are arboreal insectivores.

While not capable of powered flight they often obtain lift in the course of their gliding flights. Glides as long as 60 m (200 ft) have been recorded, over which the animal loses only 10 m (33 ft) in height, which is quite some distance, considering that these lizards are only around 20 cm (7.9 in) in total length (tail included).

They are found in South Asia and Southeast Asia, and are fairly common in forests, gardens, teak plantations and shrub jungle.

Hopefully I’ll be able to whip up a few story responses, those are always a treat! Looking forward to it!

Welcome to the First Spectober! A writing and art prompt filled October! Think Spooktober, but Paranatural themed. 

There will be daily prompts, both for writing and art. These will be separated into two separate lists. However, if you ever want to use a ‘writing prompt’ for art, or vice versa, you are absolutely welcome to! While they are listed day to day, you can skip as many as you’d like and do them out of order if you’d prefer to. It’s creativity, no need to restrict it. :D

We’ll be using the #spectober2020 for the event and be reblogging them to this blog. Word of advice: make sure the tag is within the first five, or it won’t show up. If we haven’t reblogged your submission within 24 hours, feel free to message us.

Another fun fact: crocodiles and alligators will climb surfaces. If you go to a reptile zoo and see the metal mesh curve upwards, that's because the crocs and gators would otherwise be able to climb right up the mesh and get out. They can also use their massive tail to propel themselves out of the water like really slow death missiles.

They're amazing creatures.

Crocodiles swim way faster than you think.

What an amazing skull piece!

Awwww yeah baby, Demon Skull time

If you're celebrating Biden's win, consider celebrating by donating to a bail fund, planned parenthood, or the Navajo Water project.

Your action to help the marginalized shouldnt end at presidential candidates and voting.

There'd be good reason/justification for it too! Just have to retrieve a tool that somebody else nabbed and/or fell into the possession of a non-spectral. It has its own built-in time limit in that the group would want to retrieve the item before it makes the person a spectral.

it just occurred to me if Pnat ever did a full on heist chapter i’d lose my mind

ahh, i do adore the old days of pokemon where you'd get a ton of odd glitches like this happening.

There's also the glitch in Stadium with at least a few glitch mons where if you look at them they turn into a Rhydon.

pokémon evolution chains we need

I love them. Such a goofy dude.

Another sketch brought to you by #Paleostream

Brachiosuchus, a dyrosaurid from the late cretaceous of Sudan. Dyrosaurids are in general already weird crocodilians but Brachiosuchus is extra bizarre because of it's very long arms, that are quite a bit longer than it's hindlimbs. it also has a skull the size of it's torso and tall neural spines.

just adding that she has very similar, if not the same energy color as the Sphinx of Truth:

Will this mean anything? Probably not, but if Zack’s going the kinda-sleazy-conman-with-a-heart route (or perhaps just the tried and true lovable asshole route), then the interactions between Truth’s power and how Scabs could theoretically sidestep those truth powers activating on her while allowing them to be used on others to the fullest extent...that’d be a rather interesting interaction!

Scabs in this update here to uplifit my spirits, water my crops, and ruin my years-old headcanons about how she might act. Dropkicking my soul into writing that story I’ve had for a while about her. Digging the color of her spectral energy, and I wonder about her backstory.

Right now she’s kinda giving off Kuzco energy (maybe start-to-mid-movie Kuczo?). We’ll see how this progresses.

Kestrel-dad not sure how to dad but he’s trying his best.
