Did a little fanart sculpt of one of @ascalaphid.com 's shrew monks! Wonderful critters! 🐭💖
I sculpted this with easy printing in mind; no big overhangs and little self-supporting details. Very few supports should be needed, if any.

on the one hand I find it a little annoying how easily the ink bleeds through the pages of my doodling sketchbook but on the other hand now it looks like some kind of cinematic double-exposure shot of the hedgehog on the other page reacting to shrew Jackass stunts

picked some cute microwasps out of a sample at work today. mostly eupelmids, plus a eulophid, an encyrtid, and one of those things that used to be a pteromalid but got split off into their own family in the 2022 Hell's Heart paper, cleomyid now I think
