Hope y'all are having a good day! I'm just your average aardvark enthused entomologist with an interest in art and story telling. Currently obsessed with Transformers and Azhdarchids so be prepared lol

Got a new PC! Have some Hatzegopteryx

Decided to do a bit of drawing since all 8 years of carefully crafted messy settings on clip studio paint and my tablet were reset.

Unfortunately, CSP decided to flip me the bird and close before I could save the last sketch + finishing touches and I'm too tired to deal with that rn so this is as good as it's gonna get :']

Quick entelodont painting with a design loosely inspired by the Bornean bearded pig. Poor guy is being bothered by biting flies and midges

Made an entelodont design like this a while back and enjoyed it. This is a revamped version that I'm not too sure if I'm happy with yet... Might redo this in the future.

Can you tell I don't like backgrounds? lol

Happy Writing! - Rin T.

"Desert Sun Beast" Howdy! Been a hot minute since I've been on Tumblr but I'd thought I'd give it a go again. Here's some art to compensate for my absence Been messing with different painting/rendering techniques to try and find a style I like. The character pictured here is Coachman and you'll likely notice I draw them a lot, especially if I'm trying out different things.

Nice to meet ya'll!

Been a while since I've been on Tumblr but I'm back at it again and plan to start being more active on social media. I started a new account for a fresh start as my old one is... well... old. My art has changed since I was last active on tumblr and I wanted to start anew

For those not familiar with me, I'm Arty! I have a passion for arthropods and a interest in storytelling, horror, and more. I mostly draw for myself and a lot of what is seen from me is based on a world I've been building for the past seven or so years. I do occasionally take commissions and animate, though.
