"Weird animals" is a series of illustrations that feature animals in a whimsical manner that is unexpected, funny and cute.
Based on the prompts of Jake Parker’s "Inktober", I have created these illustrations in a classic cartoon style, inspired by newspaper comics and The New Yorker.
These illustrations give an insight as to what may happen in the animal world where everything is bizarre, outrageous and even obscure, especially from their point of view.

Inktober 2023 Day 2 | Spiders
Over the years, I’ve never been able to complete more than 5 drawings during Inktober. Last year, I wasn’t able to post a single post on my Instagram. This year, I was determined to draw something that would be familiar to people but also unique to my ideas. So I thought of creating cartoons with animals in weird situations. I also plan to sell a few of these on tote bags, as prints and more. One can keep a check on my Instagram where I keep information updated.

My chaotic cat cost me the security deposit on my apartment after scratching a hole the side of a small planet into my rug after being provided with numerous toys and play time.
Problem lies when they don't realize they just trashed all the roommates belongings, not there owners!! That's what I'm dealing with right now 🤬

The biggest challenge was to be consistent and not skip a single day. Dedicating time for this every day in a fast-paced and busy life was very difficult but I’m glad I could do it. Also, I had multiple ideas for each prompt, so picking and choosing the best one was a task.

The fact that I could be as crazy as I wanted to was something that helped me explore a different art style. If you look at my work, it’s pretty vivid, colorful, and bright. These ink illustrations were a different approach and I enjoyed making them.

Each drawing took about 40-60 minutes, which included making a rough sketch first, then the inking, and finally the rendering. I dedicated time and attention to the captions as well along with the ideas and execution.

fun fact octopus ink actually isn't a good writing ink! however, simallar ink like cuttlefish ink is used in cooking (salty!)
Load More Replies...Maybe the bird has the aerial view, but the octopus has 7 or 8 more brains.
One central brain, and another brain at the base of each tentacle.

Fun fact: birds don't have taste receptors for capsaicin so they don't taste hot things. Squirrels, however, DO have the taste receptors for it, so they are affected. You can coat your bird seed in cayenne pepper to keep the squirrels from eating it and the birds won't be affected
For people who may not know, most birds cannot taste spice as they are physically unable to produce the capsaicin chemical.
