Hi! I’m Orion, but you can call me Ori, or Spooka!
I do art, mostly digital these days, but sometimes traditional too! My blog is really rb heavy, so I tag all of my stuff with #spookaorionart !
Here’s some examples of my art :3

I’ve been drawing a lot lately! Nothing finished, though. Using refs by TrueRef and AdorkaStock (I’ll tag them if I ever finish anything lol)
hi y’all i just wanted to put you onto this fundraiser for the buffalo nations grasslands alliance. they’re trying to recoup some of the funds for black-footed ferret conservation on tribal grounds that the trump/musk administration has frozen, which is impacting not only the conservation efforts themselves but the livelihoods of the people working on them. the frozen grant is 1.1 million but this fundraiser has a goal of 50,000.
the fundraiser has 24 days left and has only reached 2% of its goal with 11 donations. black-footed ferrets are an endangered lazarus taxon that was thought to be extinct from 1979-1981 before being rediscovered by accident. they’re a miracle of conservation and it would be horrible to lose them for good, not to mention (again) the impact of people working with these animals losing their jobs which is outlined in the fundraiser link. indigenous-led conservation efforts are extremely important for a wide variety of reasons and as someone in the zoology area i feel obligated to share this fundraiser to contribute to those efforts.
i know that things are hard right now and there’s a lot of people and organizations all across the world that need help, so don’t feel pressured BUT if you have extra money and you can contribute to this fundraiser or share it with people who can that would be great.
super cute black-footed ferrets ^
Boosting this here- black footed ferrets are perhaps a little more charismatic than we usually allow here, but they need all the help they can get!
Nearly at 25% of their goal!
They're now at 37% of their goal, with just 9 days left! And, as an extra incentive, I am doing donation commissions-- if you send me proof of donation, I'll do you an art or make a post about an animal of your choosing!
Some of the stuff I’m seeing get labeled as “mature content” is frankly ridiculous. Just got one that was art of a fully clothed woman in a dress. Just. A woman wearing full coverage clothing.
Can’t let the kids see that one! Can’t let them know that… (checks notes)… people wear clothing?

Fencing book fashion crimes - Part II: Paulus Hector Mair
Fencing books were an intriguing way for 16th century artists to be creative. While many of the depicted clothes reflect actual 16th century fashion, some garments look so fantastical that it´s hard to tell if they really existed in this form.
While these breeches from Paulus Hector Mair´s mid-16th century fencing book look quite extreme, there is enough evidence to assume that breeches like these were actually worn.
Meet my next sewing project.
