I got this "lumberpunk beaver game" on Friday.

I don't have a problem...

I can quit anytime...

...

Just let me finish this dam... #Timberborn

[Hana Russell @flame_point]

"Care and Maintenance" Rest and recuperation is important for machine and beast. A wise beaver takes time to repair themselves and their dams.
(Aka I've been playing Timberborn all week and wanted to draw solar punk beavers)

"Long Stretch" a reminder to get up and stretch before going out, seizing the salmon, and then taking a nice, recharging nap until spring.

"Hades' Gift; Persephone's Choice"
I wasn't going to do #Inktober, but then I saw some really awesome art and just had to do at least one Inktober piece. It's pomegranate season, one of my favorite times of year :)

Please meet the adorable Pacific spiny lumpsucker, the cutest of cuties, and also great at eating parasites off of salmon.

Teacup: "Hmmmm, I'm not sure about this. I have a bad feeling about this mossarium."

Our bold Teacup the #junicorn looks a little nervous about the cliff ahead.

(I'm not sure what type of moss this is, but I'm calling it golden retriever moss because it's so yellow-green and fluffy!)

Peekaboo unicorn!

[Hana Russell @flame_point]

Happy #Junicorn! I've recently become obsessed with mossariums and decided to turn this cute little unicorn ring holder into a tiny mossarium :)

@see_starling Yay! I'm glad my addiction to shiny things could help XD

[Hana Russell @flame_point]

@see_starling The end! Go forth and make SHINIES.

[Hana Russell @flame_point]

@see_starling So, overall, if you have someone to vectorize your art, you want a LOT of one design, and you have enough money, go for enameled pins.

If you want small amounts of multiple pins, more detailed artwork, and don't/cant pay a lot, go acrylic.

[Hana Russell @flame_point]

@see_starling Lasered wood pins are also a thing, and might be the most environmentally friendly option, but I don't know much about them. If you have pin backs, glue, and know someone with a laser cutter, you can diy them, though!

[Hana Russell @flame_point]

@see_starling Enameled pins are great because they feel more solid, and you can get great metal (and glitter!) effects (rainbow panther pin from Gay Breakfast, they rock!)

[Hana Russell @flame_point]

@see_starling Acrylic is great because you don't need to translate your image to enamel and metal, they're cheaper, the minimum order size is 10 vs 50-100+, and they're lighter. You do have to peel a protective coating off the front of each one, so keep that in mind.
