I recently illustrated a memo game "Endangered Animal Babies" for Treecer. This memo game contains 72 unique illustrations and 36 endangered animal species. Each pair consists of the parent and the baby animal and all the illustrations were done in watercolor.
I'm really grateful for this opportunity and very happy with the outcome of the game! The game is sold by WWF Finland and Treecer at the moment.

Animal of the Day!
Caribbean Monk Seal (Neomonachus tropicalis)
Tumblr media
(Photo from the New York Aquarium)
Extinction Date- 2008
Habitat- Caribbean Sea; Gulf of Mexico; West Atlantic ocean
Size (Weight/Length)- 250 kg; 2.3 m
Diet- Crustaceans; Fish; Squid
Cool Facts- Caribbean monk seals were an extremely social species of seal. Also called the sea wolf, these seals lived in colonies of up to 100 individuals and organized their group based on age. The pups would gather together in large groups, lazing in the sun, while their parents went out to hunt. Unfortunately, Caribbean monk seals were extremely chill and lacked any fear of humans. Early colonists saw the seals as an easy food source and thousands were killed for their meat and fat that was used as oil in lamps. The second blow came when the fish and squid the seals relied on were majorly overfished. The endangered Hawaiian and Mediterranean monk seals are threatened by the same threats the Caribbean monk seal faced, but luckily strict protections are limiting poaching attempts and vaccination against disease is aiding in the conservation efforts.
Rating- 13/10 (Last seen in 1952 but not declared extinct until half a century later.)

Super waterproof SEALant for your plumbing and glasswork furniture needs.
I cannot do live studies. It always becomes an unflattering caricature designed to entertain myself.
So, NEVER ask me to draw live portraits EVER!

Image 1 : Hooded seal - Cystophora cristata
Fun Fact : Male hooded seals that are sexually mature are able to inflate a large red sac from one of its nostrils, about the size of a balloon. They do this by shutting the other nostril valve and inflating a membrane which comes out of the other. This is done to attract females / show aggression towards other males.(if u wanna see look it up<3) ^ ^
Image 2 : Harp seal (pup) - Pagophilus groenlandicus
Fun Fact : Harp seal pups (babies) are born with long white fur that helps them absorb sunlight to stay warm while they're developing blubber (as in the pic). Once they grow up they turn a light grey with short fur and dark grey spots. So cute! (о´∀`о)
Image 3 : Hawaiian monk seal - Monachus schauinslandi
Fun Fact : Once a year, hawaiian monk seals molt the top layer on their skin and fur. They do this to keep their coat free of algae. They're also one of the most endangered marine mammal species.

I forgot to post her yesterday for National Seal day.
I made a new gal Sunny Shore!
In Poppy’s PlayPlace she lives in a nice Beach House and adopts DogDay.
As for The Flowers That Grow in Darkness I’m not entirely sure if she’ll show up buuut she’s there. Not sure I’m ready to reveal my whole plan with her.

"Make better Choices," the Hawaiian Monk Seals has gotten eels stuck in their noses. The article I read, the scientist sound like tired parents to teenagers. They want them to stop getting eels stuck up their noses.
