After so many years of disliking centaurs for being impractically designed, I thought of a design that actually makes them look like functional organisms! And now I love them!!!

Their hands have two thumbs, and can be used in walking and running just like the other limbs. The smaller centaurs have dexterous toes on all of their limbs, but in the higher weight classes, gripping ability on the back four legs is sacrificed in order to better support the body while standing. The central limbs are set wider than the fore and hind limbs to prevent collision when all six are being used in locomotion.

If “land whale” didn’t have the horrible connotations it would actually be pretty cool.

Hell yeah I’m a land whale!  I am a vast, mysterious creature of the deep, and I have finally transcended the limits of my ocean home.  I am bigger than Tyrannosaurus Rex; I am the largest animal ever to exist on this planet.  My brain is the size of a one-year-old child; your entire body could fit inside my heart.  I live for a hundred years and sing a song that carries for a thousand miles. And now the whole of the Earth, land and sea, is mine.

Because I am a land whale.

Artist Samantha Keely Smith paints breathtaking abstract landscapes that resemble the swirling waters of the ocean. Using oil paint, enamel, and shellac, Smith builds up multiple translucent layers of color, alternating between soft brushstrokes and large, sweeping gestures to evoke crashing waves, surging tides, and stormy floods.

#art #dragon #chainsaw sculpting #one day a few years ago #we were driving home and saw a guy taking a chainsaw to a pole #and wondered what he was doing #next time we went by that spot there was a wooden lion climbing the now-much-thinner pole #it’s been there ever since #and that was how my family learned of the existence of chainsaw sculpting

my entire life i have been under the impression that picking bluebonnets in texas is illegal and i just found out that’s only a myth. who the fuck lies to a six year old about picking flowers

and did you know that new york’s state flower is the rose? that’s bullshit. that is bullshit. blatant new york favoritism. roses don’t even grow in new york. nothing grows in new york except buildings and pizza. new york’s state flower should be a fucking taxi. i’m trying to give you a hint that i’m about to draw york covered in roses is it working

#Red vs Blue #anything that makes me laugh this much deserves a reblog #there’s more to New York than the city #most of the state was only good enough to name once #I’m sure there must be roses in there somewhere #still hilarious though #(Red vs Blue progress: have finished 6×08) #(everyone (mostly Rose several times over) who told me that S6 was much better than S1-5 has thus far been totally right) #(apparently the big yelling-at-the-screen moment is near or possibly at the *end* of S6) #(I’m…looking forward? to it?) #fanart
