Not Enly's Art - Blog Posts

Hi! I'm afraid I've gotta turn off anon asks for a bit; I'm getting a ton of bot spam. If you're really wanting to be anon feel free to let me know in your ask and I'll censor your name and look away really fast and peak at the message through my fingers

Hiii it's very nice to see you back again! I hope you and you're sister are okay and happy, and if you aren't then I pray you guys will be soon 💕 also lovely lovely art as always hehe

Thank you so much, I hope so too! I appreciate your words of support a lot. Big e-hugs 🫶

I wish I could change that but I cannot write :') I loved your one though!

Aww, thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed. :D

As far as I'm concerned, everyone can write! Being "good" is overrated; creating should be fun! But hey, there's also no shame in preferring to consume, instead. Follow your heart, I support you either way, anon ^^

do you know of any yvbill fics? I can never find any

There's one on ao3 (NSFW because the 34th rule of the internet remains eternal) but aside from that I haven't come across any, unfortunately! Perhaps still a bit too niche. You and me should change that, anon. :D

Another resource for animal artists

So I have just discovered the absolutely incredible digital library of skull scans. These scans include not only images of bones (mainly skulls) but 3D MODELS THAT YOU CAN VIEW IN-BROWSER!

For example, come rotate my cranium here!

Keep in mind that you need to have the scientific name of the species you’re looking for in order to search for it, but that information’s only a Wikipedia page away.

Definitely gonna be doing some studies with this baby!

Chiroptera Visual Database

Hi there! A couple years back I compiled a massive folder of all the bat species in the world* in photographs for quick visual reference. I feel I should share it in hopes that it can help someone like it has me and save them a lot of time looking up ambiguous search terms such as "bat species" or trying to find photographs of obscure ones.

CLICK HERE!

This database contains:

Sub-folders labelled after families (vesper bats, megabats, etc.) for easier sorting

A-Z sorted photographs of all the documented species in the world*

A little text document telling of the best places to find more photographs and/or info about the species

Photographs include professional-grade shots, scientific illustrations, fieldwork photographs, headshots, wingspans, skeletons, skulls, foot details, and comparison shots between species

All files are downloadable, including the folder itself which you can get as a .zip

Some of these photographs are very obscure and needed to be dug out of the farthest corners of the ‘net. This was a passion project of mine in order to give myself an easy-to-access art resource to better understand these animals and their incredible diversity. I hope you can find some use of this, as well!

Enjoy, bat nerds! If there's anything wrong, please don't hesitate to contact me. I've worked like crazy to put this together and I want only the best for it!

Quick disclaimer:

Nothing here belongs to me, all of these images were found using Google Images and this is meant to be nothing more than a database/directory for anatomical reference. If you plan on reusing them, please reverse image search the original image and ask for permission from the rightful owner(s) as necessary. Photography is an art just like anything else, and it ain't cool to steal! Thank you. <3

*Some species have only been documented in writing and therefore do not have readily-available photographs of them on the internet. This database was compiled by going through the list of documented species and finding photographs of them when I could; there are even more species than those listed in this folder!
