Space pilots hated visiting the third moon of Altarius Major. Due to the large population of lunar strigiformes, one or two of the blasted creatures always got sucked into the engines, mucking up the propulsion systems no matter how careful pilots were at landing and takeoff.

Done for the Doodle Swap Project #6.
3.5 in x 2.5 in
Tea/coffee stain background, watercolor, and pen.



Did you tea-stain that paper or something? What a neat delicate color! Also I secretly hope those lunar strigiformes glow in the dark, just because it would be pretty. :D
Yes. I basically made a half a cup of black tea (some old tea bags that were so old it was best not to actually consume them) and some coffee grounds thrown in just for fun. Then I smeared a sheet of paper with the tea in a sort of even coat. I dried that then did it a couple more times, but using the bottom of the mug to make imprints and splattering, and generally making a mess. When it was done I cut it up into the 2.5″ x 3.5″ cards I used for this project.
I think the lunar strigiformes should glow in the dark as well. It seems only natural. ;)
