~Phlox Drake~The Drakes That Make Their Homes In The Shrubs Of Phlox Flowers Are Quite Reclusive, And

~🌸Phlox Drake🌸~ The drakes that make their homes in the shrubs of Phlox flowers are quite reclusive, and hide when people are nearby. They can most often be viewed (from a distance) flitting about at dawn, when they like to sip morning dew from their flowers.

Think this was worth the wait! Took longer than I thought, the file info says I've been prodding at it since July 2021.

Struggled a little bit making this one look somewhat cohesive, phlox is one of those flowers that comes in a bunch of different pink/white combos and I wanted to show some of that while having it all still match. Also there are a lot of green/pink combos that clash horribly.

Had a lot of fun adding in the droplets everywhere, its a little thing but I think they add a lot to the overall look.

Also the beetle made the final cut, with a bit of a makeover. She's based on a pink ladybug, that I learned the existence of about two days ago 🐞

Rainy Nights~ There’s nothing cozier than cuddling with your floof on a rainy night with a good book and some tea :) 

Short comic, while I work on something bigger on the side. It is nevertheless a very important topic. A lot of seabirds die because they eat plastic. They feed their chicks with the waste. It’s really tragic.

CW: animal abuse/death I created this comic together with Paul Goodenough (Founder of “Rewriting Extinction”) and World Animal Protection UK to raise awareness of this animal injustice 🐻❤️ Time  is ticking for every bear tortured by the senseless cruelty of the Bear  Bile industry. There is no need for this abuse: there are cruelty-free  synthetic and organic ingredients with the same medicinal properties as  bear bile, so how can humans justify this abuse!? Luckily World Animal Protection UK are working to end the cycle of cruelty - it’s up to us to support them  and empower them to tackle this head on.
