Nice rack

#hits him with the creatureification beam #i love drawing him with antlers #got kinda lazy towards the end though #i think white-tailed deer suits him better but i like how the pronghorn one turned out the most #also fun fact pronghorns have neither antlers nor horns #unlike antlers they're made of keratin but they shed them every year #and unlike horns they have multiple points instead of one #they're just a weird mix of horns and antlers #leshy #inscryption #my art

Dragon Soundwave is one of my favorite dragonformers designs.

Gave him pharyngeal jaws because they’re cool and a sketch of what Rumble and Frenzy look like tucked away in Soundwave’s pouches.

They smell very bad.

In retrospect I think the main reason I've always been more into media about becoming dragons/autonomous dragon society (wings of fire) yet disinterested in dragonRIDING media is because everything is built on the foundations of me being a horse girl, and so the usual fantasy knee jerk response of cool monster mount replaces horses has never resonated with me because horses are already a cool monster mount on their own in a way. Even more if you are in a fantasy setting perhaps because imagine you walk outside to regularly see dragons and direwolves and those are cool and all but what you wouldn't give to see witness the king's eastern heavenly horse being born with its infant tentacles intact

#Horses are born with tentacle like soft keratin fingers on their hooves btw #look it up its pretty gnarly #dnd world building exercise does your fantasy realm have mythical creatures rights activists campaigning for people to stop riding #dragons because it damages their spines

My personal white whale is that the nutritional definition of 'carbohydrate' just fucking sucks and doesn't make sense. Chemically, even a very tight definition of 'carbohydrate' should include sugars, starch, AND cellulose. It's all the same shit just different length. If you want to just include sugars and starch then use a different name. I don't care if you can't digest cellulose that sounds like a skill issue to me. Every time I see a recipe refer to a vegetable as 'low carb' I start sharpening my harpoon

#I accidentally stumped across a list of “high fibre low carb” vegetables and it made me want to pull my hair out #incidentally if you say something is high fibre and low carb I have to assume it is hair #it does make sense to exclude proteins from the definition of carbohydrate so keratin is high fibre low carb #but cauliflower sure aint

Adhesives from feathers

Adhesives are almost always based on fossil raw materials such as petroleum. Researchers at Fraunhofer have recently developed a process that allows to utilize keratin for this purpose. This highly versatile protein compound can be found, for instance, in chicken feathers. Not only can it be used to manufacture a host of different adhesives for a variety of applications, but the processes and end products are also sustainable and follow the basic principles underlying a bioinspired circular economy. The project, developed together with Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, addresses a billion-dollar market. Adhesives are found nearly everywhere: in sports shoes, smartphones, floor coverings, furniture, textiles or packaging. Even auto windshields are glued into place using adhesives. Experts recognize more than 1,000 different types of adhesives. These can bond almost every imaginable material to another. Adhesives weigh very little and so lend themselves to lightweight design. Surfaces bonded with adhesive do not warp because, unlike with screw fastenings, the load is distributed evenly. Adhesives do not rust, and seal out moisture. Surfaces bonded with adhesive are also less susceptible to vibration. Added to which, adhesives are inexpensive and relatively easy to work with.

New Hair Extension Method? 👀

Our OG Tumblr IT Girl, Justine Skye recently posted on her IG that she got K-Tips (Keratin Tips) extensions which looks the same as Micro Links but they're applied a little differently and this technique is not reusable.

What to know:

Keratin Tips: Keratin tips are individual hair extensions that are attached to your natural hair using a keratin bond. The keratin bond is melted and fused with your natural hair using a special heating tool. This method creates a strong and long-lasting bond that can stay in place for several months. Keratin tips are ideal for adding length and volume to your hair.

Micro Links: Micro links, also known as micro bead or micro ring extensions, are individual hair extensions that are attached to your natural hair using small metal beads or rings. The extensions are threaded through the rings, and then the rings are clamped shut to secure the extensions in place. This method does not require any heat or glue, making it a more gentle option for your hair. Micro links can be easily adjusted and removed without causing damage to your natural hair.

Attachment Method: Keratin tips use a keratin bond that is melted and fused with your natural hair, while micro links use small metal beads or rings that are clamped shut to secure the extensions.

Longevity: Keratin tips can stay in place for several months, while micro links may need to be adjusted or tightened every 6-8 weeks.

Maintenance: Keratin tips require minimal maintenance, but you should avoid using heat tools near the bond to prevent it from melting. Micro links may require more maintenance, as the rings can become loose over time and need to be tightened or replaced.

Comfort: Keratin tips can sometimes feel slightly heavy or uncomfortable due to the weight of the extensions and the bond. Micro links are generally more lightweight and comfortable to wear.

Versatility: Keratin tips can be styled and treated like your natural hair, including coloring and heat styling. Micro links can also be styled, but you need to be careful not to apply heat directly to the beads or rings, as they can become damaged.

Cost: The cost of both keratin tips and micro links can vary depending on the length and quality of the extensions, as well as the skill of the stylist. Generally, micro links tend to be slightly more expensive due to the additional labor involved in attaching and adjusting the extensions. 

The Girls Loved Tape-in extensions in 2023 is this the next new thing? 👀
