Some common #toad studies I did a while ago. Those pages are a way for me to explore quicker and different ways to draw any #animal. #bufobufo #crapaud #crapaudcommun #sketches #drawing #sciart

A digital sketch page with multiple toads drawn on it. The top ones are crayon-like and the bottom ones are cleaner and more stylized. It's all drawn in blue.

A digital sketch page with multiple toads drawn on it. Some are more cartoony than other. There's 2 at the top right who are more personified : one's holding a smoking joint, under it, one is laid down "draw me like one of your french girls" style with a blade of grass in its mouth.

A bonus reference to @hausofdecline.bsky.social

Drawn character softly putting their hand on the shoulder of another one from the back : I think we’re gonna have to [REDACTED] this guy…
Other character looking down defeated : Damn.

Maxwell Superbien - He/They/It - Xe/Xyr@maxwellsuperbien· Jun 24

Man I’m tired of this shit

A drawn character with their finger pointed up : I have an IDEA !

A drawn character with their arms up on the air : LET’S ALL [REDACTED] the billionaires and their puppets !
Second character : But Maxwell…isn’t it a bit too much ? This is violent and barbaric…

A drawn character with their hand strongly grasping the other’s shoulders : BUDDY, do I LOOK like I give a FUCK anymore ?

I hope that when you die, you get to spectate just like in Minecraft...

Game over screen from the Minecraft hardcore mode, where your death is permanent. It says : Game over! Steve was killed. Score : 0. Two options are there : Spectate World & Title screen.

Oh yeah did a #meettheartist a bit ago, translated it from French, here it is. #artist #beetle #flowers #sketchbook #selfportrait

A meet the artist presentation.
The title : Meet the Artist.
There’s a French flag below the title and crossed ai symbol on top of it. Under there is my name, pronouns and date of birth.
“Maxwell - he/they/xir. ADHD - 23rd may 1997”

Two post-it notes are visible, one is positive with a smiling sticker and the other is negative with a frowning sticker.
Things I like : observing animals, photography and nature outings, observation drawing, wetlands, spring, the smell of lilac flowers, plushies, nature field guides…
Things I despise/hate : people who hate a species from fear/disgust, generative a.i, fascist and “anti-woke” people, misinformation spreading, heat-waves, parties revolving around alcohol, chronic fatigue…
Under these post-its are medias I like. The Clash, Temporex, System of a down. A book on demystifying science, Americana by Luke Healey. The ologies podcast and Magnus archive. Three games I liked : A little bit to the left, Sol Cesto and Another crab’s treasure.

Visually, a character (me) is on the right, beside the post-its, and waving its hand. They are surrounded by things I like. A dandelion flower and a head full of seeds, a lilac flower, a boar skull, a caterpillar, a beetle and tiny frog plushy. I also have some tools I use for drawing, two pencil cases, my sketchbook, a magnifying lens and my camera.

A picture of me deep in the muddy sand at low tide. My legs are darkened by the mud and there's foot shaped holes around me. I am dressed with a brown hoodie and dark blue shorts.

Art vs artist

An illustration featuring 2 sea otters floating while asleep in the water. They're surrounded by kelp. This is a top view. The background is blue, the others are brown and the kelp is green.

A photo of me (Maxwell), sitting on a chair and drawing on a sketchbook inside a museum. It was at the natural history museum of Bordeaux. There is a grey backpack between my legs. A fluffy pencil case is on the ground, behind there is my photography satchel containing my camera and lenses. I am dressed for hot weather : a white oversized shirt, dark blue shorts, colorful socks and brown walking shoes. I am smiling towards the camera. A friend took this picture.

Missed the last #invertfest so here's some of my #bug pics (broader term) Order, species or genra in the appearing position : • #beetle, #cassida genra • #jumpingspider, likely #icius genra • #millipede, likely #julidae order • #longhornbeetle, Leiopus femoratus #insects #spider #myriapod #sciart

A photo of a green bug on a green background. It positionned on a dogwood's leaf near the ridge. It sports two tiny and very cute antennas. Species is Cassida sp.

A photo of a jumping spider hiding in the space between two wood planks on my deck. Its head has a white top, a dark brown band on the eyes and white pedipalps. It looks very cute. Might be Icius genra.

A photo of a finger near a millipede to show how small it is. The background is bark. The millipede is very dark. Most likely from the Julida order.

A picture of a longhorn beetle on top of a blade of grass. Its antennas are orange-brown and 1.5 times the size of its body. The elytras are grey with tiny spots and they have a black band on the third of it at the bottom. Species is Leiopus femoratus.

I drew more of the 🅱️orse ( #bug #horse). I think #cute #creatures are even cuter when slightly #uncanny. #drawing #sketch #creaturedesign #oc #characterdesign #silly #bughorse #animal #maxwellsuperbien

A drawing sheet with multiple sketches of the same character : the bug horse. It’s a creature I made that looks like a fatter and squishier horse, except the ears are replaced by antennas and it has six legs. Top right : a study of the flehmen response in a horse (curling its upper lip and showing its teeth). On the right sideof the sketch, the bug horse imitating the normal horse. Top left : the bug horse held in an open palm. Under it, the creature is squishing itself like a seal while a finger boops its nose. Below, the bug horse stretches its neck the most it can. In the middle is shown the bug horse doing a big stretch, even stretching its mouthparts which can extend past the lips. Bottom right is a view of the creature with its mouthparts out and drooling. It often forgets to sets its parts back in after a good stretch. Bottom left : the bug horse places its mouthparts back inside. When its done, it smiles showing all of them in the usual position. Bottom middle : a tiny sketch of the bug horse half-body.

Made this little guy last month. He could easily fit in the palm of your hand. Also he’s omnivorous. #bug #horse #creature #creaturedesign #drawing #silly #maxwellsuperbien

A reference sheet about a creature I made. Its name is the bug horse. He’s a chubby and marshmallowy six legged thing with a tail and two antennaes. On the left, its full body. Under it, the creature eating something off the ground. Top right is the critter sleeping. Under it, two views of its mouth parts, composed of 4 hidden crushing mandibles. In the middle of the page is a front facing view of the creature.

A naturalist drawing of a lesser stag beetle cuz we had a lot of these in the garden this year (5 total). They like hanging out in the rotting wood my mom has placed as decoration. #lesserstagbeetle #dorcusparallelipipedus #lucanidae #sciart #insect #naturalistdrawing #dessin #maxwellsuperbien

A naturalist drawing of a beetle from the family Lucanidae. It is the ventral view of a lesser stag beetle (Dorcus parallelipipedus). You can see all the articulations of its legs and where it attaches on the body. It is black except for the tip of the antennae which is yellow.
The hair it has is a warm yellow. The hair is in between the head and the prothorax, the prothorax and the forewing. A tuff of hair is in front of its mouth.
