I Doubt My Artistic Abilities So I Draw Dinosaurs. My Logic Is Flawless.

I’m coloring sketches I did last month.

Museum SOS

I just saw the news that the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY is facing foreclosure after a group of donors failed to produce about $30 million USD that they had promised.

The museum is run by the Paleontological Research Institution, whose collection has about 7 million fossil specimens—one of the largest in the US—and is one of only a few natural history museums in upstate NY. PRI runs both the Museum and the Cayuga Nature Center, which is also dealing with the budget shortfall.

The organization is working on restructuring (namely downsizing) to improve their financial sustainability but they still need funds, and one thing they've said could help is if people shop at their store!

The foreclosure news broke like two days ago and their shop is already selling fast (testament to how many people want them to survive!) but there are a few items left in stock, including some prehistoric plushies. If you want to make a purchase to help maybe keep them afloat, their online gift shop is here and is honestly extremely reasonably priced.

so how about a FOOT LONG TULLY MONSTER

OR A DUNKLEOSTEUS

OR SOME

TRILOBITE SLIPPERS

They've also got some books, shirts, toys, etc. and I'm sure those sales numbers will help the authors/artists as well.

(Regular donations are also welcomed)

A concept painting of the Blue Paranoia. It's a small transport ship owned by Zukel, an OC of mine. It has retractable solar sails and a net to collect space debris.

Valli and Oscar! :D

I’ve been playing Fire Emblem: Fates and I felt nostalgic for good old FE7.

Matthew and Leila, my god. :(

Say Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh...

In light of the recent SpaceX news, I made a new icon for my everything-else blog. :D Space travel!

My roommate and I are rewatching TOS and we noticed that Uhura likes to appear onscreen with objects that are not necessarily hers. In early episodes we see her in command gold instead of her iconic red uniform. I first suggested a laundry mishap but after seeing her play Spock's lyre (in The Conscience of a King), it all started to make sense.

Uhura is a klepto.

(I drew reboot!Uhura to keep in theme with my prior Trek doodles.)

Have some sketches I drew last month.

And of course it looks like Zukel is talking to himself, but that wouldn't be too far off the mark.
