Hi! I'm Neah (19, They/He), a full time college student with a full time job who tries to make art in their free time. Needle felting, sewing, ceramics; I do what ever I feel like at any given time and I am not consistent. I'm not here very often because this is solely an art and bug blog and not my main.

Hi, I'm Neah.

I'm a full time college student and I do art in my spare time.

I'm an Entomology Major so I also have an intense interest in invertebrates, so I will post a lot of them.

If your interested in commissions go here for my information.

Here is my Artfight account.

My fursona's reference sheet is here.

I also tag all of my OCs so if you don't want to see them block the tag my ocs. I also tag all of them individually by their names.

When I post pictures of invertebrates, I try to always tag them by their order and family if someone needs to filter those out.

Sorry for the shit pictures I feel bad for always spamming my friends about my little guys.

I only have dairy cows right now due to. Not having space. Probably because of how many plants I have.

The bottle cap is a food bowl filled with fish flakes, freeze-dried shrimp and the occasional veggie treat. As an addition to their leaf litter and twigs.

They go fucking nuts for the shrimp though.

Also.

Babies <3

Also springtails visible there.

I started my colony back in late December/early January, and I started with only 6 very dehydrated and unhappy adults due to a shipping accident, so finally seeing babies has made me so fucking happy. I was close to looking to get more adults to add in.

Probably will add more adults in anyway since 6 is a very low number for genetics. But I'll wait a few months for that.

Look at their little faces :)

I think it's amusing the adults all found their way into the tanks drainage layer and live down there during the day while the babies are all always in the leaf litter and under twigs.

This is my first time having invert pets and since I'm going into entomology I hope to have room eventually for. Many more. Too many more.

Jumping Spider <3

Man I fucking love jumpers. I love the way they move, the way they look at you, just the way they are. I even got to watch this little dude catch a meal while I was trying to photograph them.

Found this guy on a plant-pot I was going to use, but I let them have their little meal first. They have been relocated into my garden.

Bonus: Size comparison of this little guy to strands of dog fur.

There's Something in the Woods

I discovered I really like the color builder brush in autodesk sketchbook.

#digital art#digital painting#autodesk sketchbook#my art#my post#Yea this is a follow up to the husky/white cat shit post quality doodles i did on my phone while on my lunch break at work#because doing those made me realize how nice the color builder is#this is the acumulated effort of 3 work days breaks (maybe 2ish hours??? idk) since i have literally nothing better to do#im kinda glad i ended up saving up for the refurbished galaxy 24 ultra. I've had it for a month now and I can say it was worth it (to me)#also as this was a work break boredom thing there was 0 planning involved soo...magic fog to hide lack of background work#theres also 2 banana slugs in there go find them#The creature was drawn (painted?) on the same layer as the sketch so it wouldn't surprise me if the sketch is still visible in there

I did this during my 30min lunch break at work, on my phone....

Maybe I'll clean this up later? Probably not. Who knows.

I just spent $140USD on danmei.

Someone needs to take my credit card away from me.

Another lunch break phone doodle. I have brain rot for this series rn.

Will you ever get normal art out of me anytime soon? No. All the projects I'm working on right now are massive and will take forever between me having a full time job and being a full time student.

#the books came in and im debating if i should reread them all now or wait until i actually have time to do that#between work and school I don't have time for shit and no way in hell im bringing physical copies of husky into work with me

Winter's over I'm back to bug posting sorry for anyone who follows me for art.

Series Project that was my final in the painting class I just finished.

All bugs are from pictures I took. The idea was moths/butterflies stuck in a spiders web, and I had originally wanted to mount them on a larger board and use thread to make a fake web between them all. I scraped that idea, though, since my final was due on the 8th and I did not have enough time.

Acrylic on primed chipboard.

Tumblr mobile hasn't let me post anything with more then 2 pictures for the last month, and hasn't let me upload any pictures of my own at all for the last week or so without crashing :/

I have more bug pictures let me post them >:|

For the last month everything thats been posted here has been queued, or from the few times I've had access to my laptop. Wish I could use tumblr on a mobile browser but that is so unbelievably laggy on my shit phone. My queue just ran out aswell :/
