PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVE!

  

I know what you're thinking.

"Boss, Doomfist isn't even in the game!"

 

I know.

A lot of speculation has been circulating the interwebs, and it had me hyped when Orisa wasn't revealed. I'm hoping for an in game Doomfist, like a lot.

 

Anywho, this figure is my own take on the character.

It's inspired by some concept art, the Numbani map, a little bit of Horizon: Zero Dawn flair, and my own ideas.

 

I'll just explain the figure.

Doomfist:

The hair is inspired by a lot of Concept Art. It started out as a wolverine hairpiece. The head is fully painted by me, with a little blue body paint added (which is where the Horizon influence came from).

The armor was what I had started for Saw Gerrera, but I painted it all black.

The actual "Doomfist" is made from a four lego hands, a flickfire gun, and other various bits. The other arm is wrapped in etape, with a silver wash, and a few blue additions. I gave him a Rex pauldron, as it fits with the color scheme, along with a custom waist cape.

His legs were extended.

 

I don't really think the photo does him justice, because he looks so much better in person.

 

Anywho, thanks for reading!

Boss

Intermediate egret

Scientific Name: Ardea intermedia

Description: The plumage of the Intermediate Egret is wholly white. During the breeding season, adults have long filamentous plumes emerging from the scapulars, and dense plumes from the breast. The bare parts vary with the stage of the breeding cycle: during courtship the bill is deep pink to bright red with a yellow tip and green base, the lores are bright green, the eyes red and the legs ruby red; when laying, the bill is dull red, the lores are dull, pale green, and the eye is yellow. By the time of hatching, the bill is dull orange-yellow, the lores are yellow or green-yellow, the eye is yellow and the upper portion of the leg yellow with the lower portion grey-black. During non-breeding season, they lose their plumes, the bill turns orange-yellow, the lores are green-yellow or yellow, the eyes are horn-coloured and the upper portions of the legs vary, with the lower portion black. Juveniles appear like non-breeding adults.

Similar Species: The Intermediate Egret is similar to Australia’s other all-white egrets. The Little Egret is distinguished by its long, black bill. The Great Egret is distinguished by its proportionally longer neck and flat-headed appearance and has a distinct gape that extends well behind the eye. Cattle Egrets are much shorter and dumpier with a stouter bill.

Location: Within Australia, the Intermediate Egret can be found at wetlands throughout the northern third of the continent as well as the eastern third. They are generally absent from Tasmania.

Habitat: Mostly a denizen of the shallows in terrestrial wetlands, the Intermediate Egret prefers freshwater swamps, billabongs, floodplains and wet grasslands with dense aquatic vegetation, and is only occasionally seen in estuarine or intertidal habitats.

Feeding: Aquatic animals, principally fish and frogs, are the main food of the Intermediate Egret. They are usually hunted by standing and waiting, then stabbing at the prey with its dagger-like beak.

Breeding: Intermediate Egrets build a shallow platform of interwoven sticks, placed on a horizontal branch in a tree that is usually standing in water. They generally lay three or four pale-green eggs which are incubated by both sexes. The nestlings are fed by both parents, who regurgitate food, either into the nest or directly into the beak of the young bird.

In America they have a Harvestmen they call a Daddy Long Legs that is not even a true spider. This is a true spider... TRUE..

 

I have always wanted to capture an image like this one

.

I was getting some stuff out of my shed and she was on something.

 

Here she is on my front lawn...

A few of facts about these.

 

They can bite you.

 

The rumor about their fangs not being long enough is not true.

  

The venom they poses is only toxic enough to take down what they feed on and is not one of the most deadly in the world

  

They are not native to Australia.

 

They where accidentally introduced from Europe

Sharp-tailed Sandpiper

Scientific Name: Calidris acuminata

The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is the most dinky-di of all migratory shorebirds that visit Australia, carrying the rich ochre colours of the red centre in the plumage on its head and back. It is also finely tuned into Australiaâs boom-and-bust ecology â in years of inland floods, few birds travel to our southern shores, preferring, instead, to gorge on the banks of inland floodplains, such as the Diamantina. This way, they save themselves travelling thousands of kilometres. They are the international guest star in the festival of the living desert.

Description: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is a medium sized wader with a straight black bill that has an olive-grey base. It has a chestnut crown and nape, a white eyebrow, and reddish brown upperparts, with each feather having a black centre. The rump and tail are black, with white outer margins visible in flight. The wings have an indistinct white bar. The breast and flanks are white, streaked and speckled black, with a reddish brown tinge on the chest, grading into a white belly and undertail. The legs are olive. This species is commonly seen with other waders during its migration from northern breeding grounds.

Similar Species: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is very similar to most other sandpipers, especially the Pectoral Sandpiper, C. melanotos, but may be distinguished from this species by having no clearcut division between the breast and belly markings, olive (rather than yellow) legs, and a chestnut (rather than dark) head.

Distribution: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is a summer migrant from Arctic Siberia, being found on wetlands throughout Australia. It is also found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia and New Zealand. It is a vagrant to India, Europe, western North America, Fiji and other parts of the central Pacific region.

Habitat: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper prefers the grassy edges of shallow inland freshwater wetlands. It is also found around sewage farms, flooded fields, mudflats, mangroves, rocky shores and beaches. Its breeding habitat in Siberia is the peat-hummock and lichen tundra of the high Arctic.

Feeding: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper feeds on aquatic insects and their larvae, as well as worms, molluscs, crustaceans and sometimes, seeds. It is often found in large flocks, often with other waders, foraging in shallow waters.

Breeding: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper breeds in the short Siberian summer (June to August). Its nest is a well-hidden shallow hollow on the ground, lined with grass and leaves. The female incubates the eggs and raises the young alone.
