[introduction]

hello, and welcome to my blog!

I am firestorm_shiba, you can also call me Fig (not my real name, but it’s time I grab myself a cool internet nickname…) or G :)

decided I should make a little(ish) introduction post, so here we go!

[quick summary of my blog]

I post a lot of dinosaurs + paleoart, but in the future I hope to include some more of my hobbies, interests and just little life things along the way! That may include lots of fantasy stuff, such as D&D, character design, and plenty of dragons, and I’ll likely start posting some of my fandom-related art stuff such as fanart of the Legend of Zelda, HotD/GoT, Wings of Fire, and the Witcher.

Maybe some little craft posts, and little random gremlin-y things

page tagging quick search:

my post = posts by me. Not much else to say. If I make a long bit of writing or add some art to a reblog, it may end up with this tag as well.

my art = again, not much else to say. Use this tag to quickly filter out reblogs and my non-art related posts from my blog :)

Cretaceous Alberta = art pieces, info and announcements regarding my Colours of the Lost World: Reconstructing Cretaceous Alberta project.

here's a bit about me + my page

Name: firestorm_shiba, Fig, or G, whatever you like

I am a Canadian artist, currently in high school but planning to pursue a degree in paleontology!

some of my interests are: Paleontology, fantasy, dragons & fictional creatures, bugs & insects, nature and all her random crunchy stuff, art, science, books, legend of zelda, and so on.

some of my hobbies: drawing of course, video games, dancing, insect pinning, writing & reading

have a question, art request or anything of the sort? Let me know in my comments, my asks, or shoot me a message! I love to hear from you guys :)

I also have a ko-fi shop (I'm currently unable to receive payments through there so if you would like to buy a sticker or product, please let me know and I can work out PayPal instead. You can still buy stuff off my ko-fi and I will still send it to you, but I won't be able to receive the payments from there for a bit (stripe and TD.... please just work with me I want the money I worked hard for ;-;)

Links and more under cut!

glimpses of you

Megalosaurus bucklandii portraits

Process shots of my latest acrylic painting, as promised!

The next acrylic addition to my Cretaceous Alberta series is already under way (a pair of baby styracosaurus), but there will definitely be a ton of watercolours along the way :)

+ heading out to Drumheller to visit the Royal Tyrell Museum in a day for the 4th time (listen, it's the best museum ok?) and I'll be spending ~9 hrs there this time to draw the mounts. That'll def add a lot to my Cretaceous Alberta collection. Let me know if there's a specific species you'd like me to look out for to draw there :D

Brighton craft market!

All the stuff i dont sell is gonna be on etsy in the future! (Probably august, but who knows)

URGENT HELP 🚨

Hello, I'm Ola, a graduate student from the faculty of science - Al-Azhar University in Gaza Palestine. I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read my story. As you reading my message, myself and my family, “my mother, father, three sisters, and my little brother,” are fighting death in northern Gaza and trying to survive under all kinds of suffering including but not limited to destruction, fear, and instability, starvation, thirst, and poverty.

For nine months until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 15 to 20 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking. We lacked security and stability as we were forced to evacuate our house and left everything behind. Then we had to move at least three times since every new area we seek refuge to gets bombed.

I sincerely hope you can empathize with our dire situation and consider supporting us. You can follow me to make sure I am not a scammer and to inquire about any details. Your generosity has the power to make a significant difference.

Please reblog my post, follow me and boost my posts, and repost the link to our campaign across all your social media.

Thank you for standing by me ❤️.

Please donate and/or reblog 🥺🙏🇵🇸
