IOB

Fig. 2 Comactinia meridionalis tagmata. The dorsal-most part of the body of this 10-armed featherstar consists of a tight cluster of ossicles: a #centrodorsal (cd, mostly hidden by cirri), to which are attached a circlet of cirri (ci) and a ring of five basals (hidden). Five arm bases arise from a second ring of five radials, one partly showing between the asterisks (*). Radials give rise to the first tagma of the axial skeleton: one brachial (br) and an axillary (ax). Two branches, free arms, arise from the axillary, each branch a long series of brachials that form a second (distal) tagma. Scale bar 2 mm.

Marcelo Johan Ogata has an underwater encounter with a feather star (Crinoid sp.). These ancient invertebrates first appeared in the fossil record about 300 million years before the dinosaurs. #AGoodPlace

I desperately needed a new PFP after I had redesigned my sona.

An original artwork of a fairy that is a bipedal orca wearing a pair of glasses, a cape, and a golden crown. She holds a messenger bag in her right hand and points up with her left while smiling, as though she has a suggestion for your creative ideas.

This fairy's name is Dawn Featherstar.

Hi! I have a redo of Toad’s TH icon! After finishing Featherstar and Cliffleap’s there was a drastic difference between the two styles and it was bugging me, I’m going back through to fix them. This is the first!
