Seeking the Dark Tower

On the path that eventually leads to the clearing in the woods, the Charyou Tree. Fraught with danger, fear and loss, and yet, fulfillment. Welcome.

i draw pretty hairy legs

Heterocheila buccata

So.

While you guys have been enjoying idyllic seas with clear blameless skies, beautiful vistas over sunset and vibrant cityscapes at night,

this is what i have been doing.


Gluma nitida

thats right, drawing. Drawing stuff. Fly bits. These are the anterior fore femurs of the outgroup species of seaweed flies, the Coelopidae. And these are the simpler bits. Wait till you get to what i affectionately call the prothorax 'chest hair' region, the head, and oh god forbid, the genitalia. Meanwhile check out the spines on this boy!

Icaridion debile

Soon, maybe I'll post up more complex structures, all in 3D detail, complete with stippling, which means i painstakingly dot the drawing to give the perception of depth.

Willistonelia pleuropunctata

wowee. What a summer this is going to be.
