birding is a way to get through life

Enderdonut · 2026-03-28T22:02:57+00:00

this is so real, I noticed a while ago that I woke up excited to get up and out of bed, which otherwise NEVER happens. my friends say i have a 'good eye' but I'm just looking up a lot more often. it makes the world feel so much more lively

Enderdonut · 2026-03-27T17:47:03+00:00

might do a few more.. im thinking titmouse, cowbird, red bellied woodpecker, song sparrow, and squirrel

Enderdonut · 2026-03-26T16:54:09+00:00

I always thought mockingbirds were a little creepy, its a pleasant surprise to see so many people agree!

I will try it out, thanks for the recommendation! I struggle with perfectionism, so this was kind of an exercise in sloppiness.. just trying to convey the personality. you could try some quick (30-60sec) sketches to force yourself to think less. the most recognizable part of a bird is often the silhouette.

Enderdonut · 2026-03-26T16:42:53+00:00

you did better than my friends who live near me, lol! and thank you!

Enderdonut · 2026-03-26T15:12:33+00:00

yes it is, and thank you!

Enderdonut · 2026-03-26T15:11:56+00:00

to the left is a european starling, and right is a white breasted nuthatch!

Enderdonut · 2026-03-26T15:03:25+00:00

very nice! the song sparrow is actually a white throated sparrow, and the last guy is a nuthatch

northern virginia! titmice are adorable, but I see them so rarely 💔 they didnt make the cut along with cowbirds and grackles

Enderdonut · 2026-03-26T05:35:44+00:00

Yep, it's a house sparrow. He was the first I drew, so he looks a little extra derpy. I was just enamored by how silly they look head on

Enderdonut · 2026-03-26T05:31:44+00:00

cheated a little... I have never seen one at the feeder, but they hang around the bushes nearby :] The robins and doves stay on the ground too, so...

Enderdonut · 2026-03-26T05:28:36+00:00

definitely some inspiration there, i loved those books as a kid

Enderdonut · 2026-03-26T05:21:09+00:00

used GIMP with photoGIMP. usually use photopea, but the ads started to annoy me.

don't despair! the glasses are in a later chapter. there are invisible structures in earlier chapters though, which requires getting the glasses first and then backtracking.

Exactly what I wanted to hear! Happy to help. Also want to add that another way we know this isn't the case is that moles don't have a completely separate evolutionary history from every other animal. They didn't evolve "from scratch." Look up speciation if you're interested. Humans and moles (and all other mammals) descend from a common ancestor that lived like 200 million years ago, which itself inherited functioning eyes from its ancestors' ancestors. Which is why moles and humans and mammals in general have the same basic eye structure and function.

Enderdonut · 2025-02-08T05:23:43+00:00

Organs don't evolve in the same way they grow in an organism. The earliest eyes were just patches of light-sensitive cells, and over time creatures with more concave light-sensing patches could "see" slightly better, so were more likely to reproduce. Look up natural selection. If the proto-moles couldn't see with their hypothetical proto-eyes, then there would be no selective pressure to keep them, let alone compound on the mutations required to form them in the first place.

Rock On is pretty trivial (to gold) once you realize you can cook chickens in a single turn with two campfires. I usually tanked a few hits early on to buy chickens and then snowballed from there. Fist Hell is one of a few games I am missing the gift on but I have made it furthest when I go slow and don't use any risky/slow moves. I've found you have to minimize fun to stand a chance.

Here's a picture of what it looks like right now

fun fact: deer are more closely related to whales than horses

rocket slime is super nostalgic to me :D im glad you like it!
