vulturous:

Its not very often that I get asked to draw one of my most favourite animals. This is my part of the trade thingy with nonchalant! You can change this about if you’d like! I was tempted to put lots of tribal things on her but idk if you’re big on extra stuff haha. But this was really really fun! BONGO UNITE.

 wrathofprawn:

for those not in the know, night witches were Russian lady bombers who bombed the shit out of German lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappiest planes in the entire world. The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. the planes were also so noisy that to stop Germans from hearing them combing and starting up their anti aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to German positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get the fuck out of dodge.

their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured.

fyanimaldiversity:

Gyandromorphic  butterflies

A rare condition where an animal can not only be intersexed, but in the case of bilateral gyandromorphs, the male and female coloration and build is limited to one half of the creature.

1. This morpho (Morpho ?) has a good amount of male on the female wing, making him a mosaic-type gyandromorph
2. Another mosaic, this birdwing  (Ornithoptera ?) almost passes for a bilateral.
3. Since common glider (cymothoe caenis) males do tend to have different amounts of white, I can’t tell if this individual is mosaic or not
4. Leopard lacewing (Cethosia cyane) true bilateral gyandromorph
5. Mocker swallowtail  (Papilio dardanus) 
6. Another mocker swallowtail, although it’s halves are of two different morphs!

Subspecies and Morphs of Brown Bear (Ursus arctos)

Because of their wide range, brown bears have adapted to different areas and subspecies often have very distinct looks. Even in a single region with a single subspecies, color can vary greatly from individual to individual. 

1. Kodiak  (Ursus arctos middendorffi) bears, especially females, can come in this vibrant orange shade. This is the largest subspecies.
2. This grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis) has a beautiful silver grey saddle contrasting with it’s nearly black limbs and lightly brown tinged head.
3. An almost platinum blond grizzly female with light cinnamon limbs.
4. A European brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) with a sandy head perched on top of brown body with dark limbs.
5. The ussuri (Ursus arctos lasiotus) is an Asian subspecies, often times black in color. This Chinese example has a jet black body, with a dark brown-black head.
6. Another ussuri, it’s orange-brown halo and white chest marking pop against it’s dark coat.
7. An Ininkari brown bear (Ursus arctos ?) from an area where this morph is unique; a creamy light upper half and blue-grey bottom. This one appears to have blue eye patches as well.
8. This beautiful Himalayan  (Ursus arctos isabellinus) has noticeably large and furry ears. It might just be me, but I can almost see hints of lavender in it’s light brown coat where darker fur is mixed in.
9. Even lighter, the Syrian (Ursus arctos syriacus) seems to be the most consistently light subspecies. Hardly brown, they all seem to be more of a creamy sandy color. 
10. The very rare Tibetan Blue’s (Ursus arctos pruinosus) dark morph is beautiful, and makes up for the lack of images for the light morph. A light orange-sandy head, white right around it’s chest and neck, and dark blue-grey body isn’t what comes to mind when you think “brown bear”.

Every time I have embarked on a tirade to change this character I always end up leaving her exactly the same.

Uh

Ciriu.

Cheery reaper.

Would rather be shopping than harvesting the souls of the dead. Likes visiting her patrons in cute outfits instead of the uniform they gave her.

/shrugs

HOLD TOLEDO MY PANTS

*cough* arhem I  mean I dig the colors and attire, cute idea for her personality there as well!

and like always excellent artwork period!

Well uh in that case ;u;

She’s also from a syndicate of reapers? Like, the Grim Reaper got too tired of carrying all of the weight of the afterlife by himself so he hired a bunch of younger deceased folk like her to pick up some of his slack.

Andddd they got upgrades too. She’s got some pretty high tech stuff like night vision binoculars for some god-knows-why reason. I wouldn’t be surprised if her scythe came with a built in mp3 player either.

Yep she’s a bb ty. ;v;
