"Shelter" by Hana Russell, ink on paper, 3.5"x2.1" #smaugust #dragon #dragons #ink #knotwork

Dairy cow isopod and Japanese maple leaves in honor of my tiny maple saplings making it through the winter! #isopods #dairycows #dairycowisopods

"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) #inktober #beaver #gears #timberborn

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

"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 :) #hades #persephone #pomegranate #gold

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

#Junicorn x #Junebug mash up! A proud unicorn dairy cow isopod and her babies :) #unicorn #dairycowisopod #isopod #rollypolly #pillbug #unicornisopod #isopods #dairycow

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!) #mossarium #terrarium #moss #unicorn

A tiny tea cup unicorn for today's #junicorn! #unicorn #mossarium #terrarium #miniterrarium #moss

My knotwork kelpies are done! Knotwork is super fun for me to ink AND color :D I have printable coloring pages up in my Etsy shop (hanarussell.com/shop) if you want to color your own version :) #EquineMarch #knotwork #kelpie #celticknotwork #coloring

My medusa pegasus, now in color, whoot! I went with the classic perlino coloring, partially because it's canon and partially because the bay color family is my favorite :) #EquineMarch #medusapegasus #medusa #pegasus #snakes #perlino

MORE knotwork! This time, fjord horses, because I love those manes :) #EquineMarch #fjordhorse #knotwork #celticknotwork #vikingknotwork #sketch #wip

Pictish style inspired hippocampus (maybe kelpie?) I'm going to mirror it digitally later, so it looks a little rough now, but I'm kinda loving the pencil sketch ghost I left behind :) #EquineMarch #pictishknotwork #pict #kelpie #hippocampus #knotwork #celticknot #celticknotwork

I wanted to make a whispy, cloud-based version of pegasus. How did I do? #EquineMarch #pegasus #touchtheclouds
