Well, holy crap. Guy sends in this photo of his incredible Charles Darwin portrait by Aliz at Primitive Origins in Hammersmith, London, finished after three sessions. I have nothing to add here: This is some of the more outstanding portraiture I’ve seen in a very long time. I mean, it’s no Leslie Nielsen-butterfly, but still.

Well, folks, it’s time to bring to a close the world-famous “Impromptu Zoo” day on BME’s ModBlog. Rounding out the efforts today is this great leg-piece on Harm, featuring man’s best friend (a dog) engaged in an epic battle with, by far, the greatest threat currently facing the human race (a dragon). You know who wins when someone gets a fantastic tattoo of a dog fighting a dragon? We all do. We all do.
Fare thee well, ModBloggers. Until tomorrow.
(Tattoo by Sascha Sevic at Dragon Tattoo in Eidhoven, The Netherlands.)

Continuing with today’s seat-of-the-pants animal/insect theme, here we have the lovely Heather, all nursed up and doling out an off-screen stare-down. What does this have to do with insects? Check out Heather’s flaming cicada, after the jump.
… OK, it’s probably a moth. I just liked the sound of “flaming cicada.”

That saucy little minx Uranium Hobo just sent in these shots of him sporting some home-made bug plugs. It was his first time casting in resin and, while he says they’re not perfect, everything is “glass smooth” except for a few nicks around the edges that he says don’t affect anything. These ones were rather heavy and stretched out the piercings somewhat, so next up will be a thinner pair, more suitable for long-term wear, filled with mantises.

America’s favorite vagabond, Howie, who is no stranger to the ol’ ModBlog, checks in with this fancy fish cutting he did with his apprentice, Brendong. Howie said this cutting was performed “down under,” which I assume is a reference to either Australia or Hades, the abode of the dead. Hard to say.
