I was working to invent miniature trampolines for jumping spiders, because jumping spiders like jumping, so I wanted to help them jump higher.

Are there any snakes that you feel are crazy and don’t seem like something that is from earth
You will never be able to convince me that Arabian sand boas aren't a child's drawing of a snake somehow come to life.
Also, blunt-headed tree snakes look like they're form a planet where they have sentient spaghetti noodles instead of snakes:
Elephant trunk snakes look like someone tried to describe a boa to someone from another planet and they reconstructed one based on that description (and also it melted a little):
Tentacled snakes have tentacles at the ends of their noses that look like little mustaches. They're obviously from a much cooler planet where snakes have mustaches:
And the spider-tailed horned viper has such an impressive lure adaptation it's hard to believe it's real! They have lures at the end of their tails that look so much like spiders when they move them (to attract birds, their favorite prey!), it's incredible.
The coolest thing is that all of these snakes, weird and wonderful as they are, have very real evolutionary reasons to look the way they do! It's pretty dang incredible, and I feel so lucky to be alive at the same time as so many awesome snakes!

My favorite Conduit Of The Horrors 🩵
Rambles and art stuff under the cut
I love thinking about the primary trio post-nmpd, and there have been some really cool headcanons floating around, and long story short I rewatched Yellow Jacket and I have some ideas in the works. I don't know if this is post-Yellow Jacket or in the middle of it or what, I'm not actually thinking that deep about it I'm just having fun lol. For reasons I needed to have a finalized design for Hannah soooo-
I managed to seriously screw myself over by deciding to try and draw 2 characters I adore that are played by four extremely different looking actors. It was frustrating, but interesting to try and pick out what I thought the most important features of each version was.
So like, for BF Hannah I just used Kendall Nicole as the reference, easy peasy. But aging her up was a bit of a juggle. Eventually I ended up kind of grafting Lauren's expressions onto her face shape, which I also referenced Angela Giarratana for. Just to get that familial connection in there. It really helps that they both have that distinct chiseled chin, it's really fun to draw and fairly easy to replicate. (Side note, Lauren has an incredible ability to suddenly look like a deer in the headlights out of nowhere. The nervous energy that rang through her performance as Hannah was amazing, and I couldn't get over how damn expressive her eyes were)
I was gonna have a more detailed drawing of Ethan in there, because I absolutely love their relationship, but I chickened out. I ended up basically just drawing Joey's version with slightly shorter hair that is longer on one side, like a half-mullet thing. This is partially to try and synthesize the two versions in my head aesthetically, but mostly it's to differentiate him from Pete. Pete is a little difficult too, I actually really like how Nick Lang played him and wanted to incorporate some features from there, but I decided to save it for another day because I was giving myself a headache. Honestly a lot of the stuff is just hair texture, cause one of the most defining traits for their designs in my head was the way their curly hair was styled. But at the same time Joey's current haircut is damn iconic and I love being able to swing it around for the drama Ghibli-style

I was Spider-Man, and I invited a bunch of other Spider-Men to what I assume was my apartment so we could have a Spider-Man party, I guess.

i just learned about spider-tailed horned vipers and ohhh my god they might be my new favorites. just look at them
and also the way they hunt is insane: https://youtu.be/XFjoqyVRmOU like holy hell it looks so realistic. if i was a bird i'd already be dead
Aren't they so cool? Spider-tailed horned vipers (Pseudocerastes urarachnoides) are perhaps the most incredible mimics in the snake world. Many vipers have lures on the ends of their tails intended to mimic worms or caterpillars, but these guys just crank that concept up to 11.
The lure doesn't look too much like a spider when it isn't moving, but in action it looks incredibly realistic!
The spider-shaped lure is perfect for catching birds, their favorite prey. These snakes are extremely rare and poorly understood still - for a long time, they were found so sporadically that no one connected the dots and they just thought they were a similar species in their genus with some kind of funky tail deformity.
