I always wanted to try using the animation of unholstering a rifle to unsheath another :).
Alright back to working on actually fixing the problems...
Used the @ArtSnacks July box supples and came up with this little critter.
P.S. ~ I really dig the mini Water-brush. #artsnacks #make #craft #art.

Here's one of the strays I mentioned in the previous photo that wandered across the Rio Grande, possibly hoping to enjoy a peaceful afternoon lounging by the river. The cowboy seen in that photo soon rode by and drove him back to Mexico.
I found it interesting that, with a stunning canyon to view simply by looking to their right, this group found it more fascinating to watch this critter that can easily be seen throughout west Texas. Then I realized that the same view was available to my left, yet I was photographing them.
Boquillas Canyon, Big Bend National Park.
He was right. I just couldn't stop staring, couldn't look away. I kept taking steps closer when I knew I should be turning and running. The longer I stared the deeper I drew in.
Waiting for spring to break is a state of mind I try to avoid. It often comes almost by surprise anyhow, after heavy rain or a stretch of days when the nights stop falling below freezing. But the woods is slow to shake. Deep stream hollows and shadowy forests hang on heavy, hide from sunlight, sift in snow still over my knees. Since I'm 6'4", that'd probably be deeper for you. It's physically exhausting, sure, but I'm not always prepared for the emotional weight. It feels good to feel deeply, a way to be I'd never surrender. That comes with a gravity you'd do good to resist, build some muscle to rise against a downward draw. When I wake to discover nothing but mud and new green, it'll feel even better knowing I didn't give in to hibernation.

Perseverance is an original sci-fi ship creation and designated as a Battlecruiser. The ship draws inspiration from many sci-fi designs including: the Daedalus (Stargate), Nostromo (Alien), Bengal-class (Wing Comdr/Star Citizen), Truman-class (The Expanse), Pegasus (Battlestar Galactica), Forward onto Dawn (Halo) and many others
Some key design notes:
- Hard sci-fi rules: No shields; ballistic based weapons only(rail guns, missiles/torpedos, and PDCs)
- No artificial gravity, no FTL drive: ship environment is zero G when not accelerating/decelerating; relies on massive accelerating/decelerating chemical rocket engines and maneuvering thrusters distributed around center of weight
- Realistic automation and AI tech level: minimally crewed (200-300 sailors and officers with 100 marines); not a troop carrier and does not carry air wing of “fighters” besides unmanned repair drones and surface shuttles
- Carries and supplies its own battle group of screening ships (2 large destroyers and 3 destroyer escorts); the screeners can all be docked (externally and internally) with the mothership while not in combat to conserve fuel and conceal strength
- Not designed for atmospheric flight: no unnecessary decorative wings or stabilizers
All connections and colors in this build are designed to be buildable with physical bricks. Ship is designed in 1:200 scale.
My end goal and hope is to convey a design that blends “the rule of cool” with a sense of realism and feasibility (i.e a ship that could be built in 5-10 generations). All suggestions and critiques are highly appreciated!

They choke me to the bone
They tie me to their wooden chair

Day 170 Year 2 Mac (the duck) is fascinated by his likeness for this FGR challenge today. As an illustrator, portraits are one of my main gigs. So this was perfect for me today.
Of course, I never usually draw myself. This portrait was done using colored pencils.
That is not photoshop. Hand drawn only.
Currently #144 in Explore! Thanks! :)

Actor, Neil Pearson, draws the raffle after being the quiz master at the annual quiz night in The Clocktower Café, in aid of the adjacent David Lean Cinema in Croydon Old Town Hall. He's probably most noted for his roles in 'Drop the Dead Donkey' and 'Waterloo Road'.

Hey everyone!
I have bought a package of prints from an online sale and I have 2 weeks to order them. As they are many, I don't have as much pictures to print!
So I'm doing another giveaway.
This time, I'll give two prints to three winners, which means I'm giving six prints in total.
To enter the draw, just leave a comment here with the two photos you'd like to win.
The shipping costs will be covered by me.
I'll do the draw around August 7th, so hurry! :)
