Could the animal(s) be anthropomorphic?

I was organizing my good ol’ Pinterest board that I keep for general research/referencing, and realized that maybe someone else will also find it useful!
Keep in mind though, that this is mostly just a visual organizer for species & connecting them to their latin classification, and the photos might not be under any CC/open licensing!!! Again, this is just so you can perhaps find a visually interesting species or family of animals (at least when it comes to the “ani -” section prefix).
I hope that this form of use still does fit under this forum’s rules, & as general info, I try my best to verify my board for AI images so that it’s actual premise stays true, aka a reference for real life objects, people, animals, etc.
Good luck everyone!!!

As long as the subject looks more animal than human it should be fine

I’m thinking, animals and patterns? It might be a good time to try a stained glass project in Krita! 
I think the lead is about set up, now to add some color!
I’m guessing the in-between step will be the optional challenge of only of solid flat colours with no shading or blending. To finish it up, there are a few G’Mic filters I want to play with. We’ll see!

Work in progress: “Checkmate”
Octopuses do have an astouding ability to merge with their surroundings. Their skin themself detects what color is beneath it, and adapts acordingly.
Still, some spots are worse than others to hide.

Every day, there are these big, dumb, metallic green beetles that crash into my garage door, then fall on the ground upside down, then struggle to right themselves. They are quite beautiful close-up and I’ve always wanted to paint them. Soooo…. thought I’d try out Krita’s cool multi-brush tool and see if I can make an interesting pattern with them.
