that were produced by feet with those distinctive curved-but-not-clawed distal phalanges. Here's one from Marchetti et al. 2021, Fig. 1E:

You can see that the toes curve strongly but are not clawed.

Rainfall Warlord of the Neon Maw ⚡

Scarred by a hundred wars, he still stands where the lightning falls. The neon city bows to no one, least of all him.

#synthart #ThOrcsday
A retro 1990s anime-style illustration of a towering olive-green orc warrior, seen from a low angle in a rain-soaked alley at night. He stands on the right side of the frame with two curved lower tusks, a heavy brow and a pale scar slashed diagonally across his left eye. Glowing cyan tribal tattoos run across his shoulders, jaw and forearms. He wears battered dark plate pauldrons, a torn leather harness and a tattered cloth sash, and holds a large notched cleaver at his side with his free hand clenched in a fist. Rain runs down his face and tusks as he stares grimly off to the left. The wet cobblestones reflect magenta and cyan neon signs, steam rises from street grates, and ruined stone archways and hanging cables frame the alley. White forked lightning splits the stormy sky in the distance. The image has bold black outlines, flat cel shading, deep black shadows and a light film grain. A small cursive signature, "Tis.", sits in the bottom-left corner. Keywords: orc warrior, cyberpunk fantasy, 90s anime, OVA cel animation, neon alley, rain and lightning, cyan tattoos, dystopian city, retro anime art, dark fantasy

Wild bettas live in shallow marshes and rice paddies. Males fiercely defend their space, flaring their fins and gills to warn off rivals.

As an archetype, the betta represents endurance in hostile environments and strength in solitude.

#Art #DigitalArt #InkWash #SpiritAnimal #Spirituality
A digital ink-wash illustration of a crowntail betta fish painted in dark grey and black ink on textured cream paper. The fish is captured mid-turn, with its body curved sharply and head facing downward. Its fins and tail flare outward into long, tapered black rays resembling a delicate ribcage or flowing calligraphy strokes. The tail fins have soft, feathered wash textures, with a subtle white highlight defining the curve of its spine. In the lower right corner sits a red rectangular seal with the name NISKALA.

Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to like, share, and follow! have a good day everyone!
A stylized fantasy illustration of a small green goblin-like creature perched on a tree branch at night. The creature has large pointed ears, glowing yellow eyes, sharp teeth, and a long purple tongue. It wears dark, spiked armor and wields a curved, bladed weapon with a vine-like handle. A sword is also strapped to its side. Behind it is a dark starry sky with a large full moon, purple clouds, and glowing trees. The artwork has a whimsical yet menacing cartoon style.

I guess there is gravitational redshift & blue shift due to curved geometry but this is not happening with LIGO’s arms. New space and new volume is being created due to negative pressure from the baseline zero point energy pressure . 4/

have been fucking around with css because i've honestly wanted to rework the look of Tiyu Amara for *ages* since i never leant into the papercraft aesthetic the theme was meant to be supporting. not even close to done but im kinda fucking with the look so far
Screenshot of an article on WorldAnvil titled "The Divinities". The important thing to get from this is that the current css theme is very neutral and brown coloured, with paper textures and some mint green and yellow green accents. There's some kinda weird padding going on. The same article, in a new WIP theme. The background is now a purple and gold repeating pattern, and the body of the article is on dark grey. Accent colours are golds and dark orange-browns. Lots of use of double borders and curved shapes to create little tapering flourishes.

🍂📷 Autumn vibes are on point for October 1st.
A quiet street is lined with trees showing autumn colors and a small row of buildings with parked cars on an overcast day. A wet street lined with trees showing autumn foliage is adjacent to buildings and parking areas under a cloudy sky. A tree with red and green leaves stands prominently on a grassy lawn in front of a single-story brick building beside a multi-lane road. A curved sidewalk runs alongside a well-maintained grassy area with scattered trees under a cloudy sky.

I don’t believe curved geometry can red shift light. The only thing I have seen associated with this is cosmological red shift due to dark energy, negative pressure, which creates new space and new volume with constant energy density. 3/

Any takers on variant r "rotunda"? It saw at least some scribal use in English and more in Latin...
"r rotunda" or "rounded r", a variant lower case glyph that mostly just appeared at the ends of words or to the right of curved letters and did not, afaik, represent anything different than the normal variant minuscule r The shape itself is like a number 2 but with the bottom bar sloped, or perhaps more like the right half of a capital R written small

A digital illustration of an anthropomorphic bird character—an eagle—depicted from the waist up in a three-quarter profile view. The character features brown plumage, large, expressive amber eyes with defined eyelashes, and a curved yellow beak set in a slight smile. It wears a bright blue headband and a white button-down shirt, left partially unbuttoned to reveal a dark garment underneath. The background is a soft gradient of purple and blue tones, featuring a flare of white light in the upper right corner. Ilustración digital de un personaje antropomórfico de una ave, una águila, de medio cuerpo y perfil de tres cuartos. El personaje tiene plumaje marrón, ojos grandes y expresivos de color ámbar con pestañas marcadas, y un pico amarillo curvado con una ligera sonrisa. Lleva una cinta azul brillante en la cabeza y viste una camisa blanca de botones entreabierta sobre una prenda oscura. El fondo es un degradado difuminado con tonos morados, azules y un destello de luz blanca en la esquina superior derecha.

@knavesquill.bsky.social and I are doing #mörktober together this year, starting with the prompt Goat!

He writes the text and comes up with mechanics for a prompt, then I make some art to fit it. (:

#inktober2026 #parasites #describedart #artsky
A drawing of a goat with curved, broken horns. Its stomach is distended, filled with parasites that press against the thin skin. Small patches of hair still cling to the skin, but most of it is bare, covered in boils instead. The text included reads: 1. Goat Hairless, rash-covered, wet choking bleats. Something squirms underneath its flesh. It’s unknown if the goat is infested or if it’s merely a pupa. Bloat Goat: HP: 2 No armor Morale: 5 Horn bash: d4 Special: Explodes in ropey black masses of oversized parasites when killed. Test Agility or d4 damage.

I've actually had these for a little while, they just need the proper duct tape mummification treatment. My original intent was to make a pair of Shotel, but getting that curve is difficult for PVC. The design here is actually straight pipes with curved curtain rodes stuck in them and glued there.
