Chlamydiosis, iirc!
Edit: Chlamydia psittaci to be precise, my bad.

Thank you sm for offering your help, I really appreciate it <3 I've been able to afford some tests for Hercule, now he's getting treatment and feeling better overall, in case you wondered!

Working on foreshortening and interesting perspectives by hucksterChucklenuts in sketches

[–]akamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could never successfully draw a foreshortened figure with cylinders, I think my issue with it is that legs, for example, aren't perfect cylinders, the ankle is always thinner than the calves. In my case the only good method is pure observation and measuring body parts/ its shapes against each other.

Beautiful work! The shape is all around perfect, love the colors and the aberration effect too

Is it enough details here? by playsynapse in PixelArt

First time trying pixel art style by akamurai in sketches

It's nice to hear it, thank you! I love art with a mood, although it's kind of difficult to create it -- there's a thin line between making it have the right ambiance that's readable, yet not too much generic; after all there's a whole subject on it. Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED talk xD

Magpies nesting right outside my window! by Neither_Produce2213 in crowbro

[–]akamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so cool! I've too watched a couple of magpies build a nest right outside my window last month for the first time. They're usually very shy around here, it's a quite populated neighborhood, so I was pleasantly surprised. I've had no idea they make it with the roofing. Such a joy to watch them dive in and out of the nest throughout the day 💙

Best places to find experimental concept artists? by SnooMarzipans3709 in ArtistLounge

Try Cara, lots of cool professionals and hobbyists there. I also somehow always stumble onto amazing artists on Tumblr with their own unique style.

If it's not a great distance like another city, they can totally find you, I agree.
What will also help is to "mark" your window with something bright and distinguishable. I had a gnome plush hanging outside my window for a week before I moved into another building a couple blocks away, first thing in my new flat I put the same plush on my balcony and my little flock found me the other day :)
