And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

The obvious answer is to meet in the middle with salmon sharks (courtesy of my friend's brilliant brain, haha)

According to my friend, she wants more marine experience, but KEEPS GOING BACK TO SALMON LMFAOOOO

Internship application response season is here and DAMMIT I WANNA WORK WITH SALMON, BUT SHARKS KEEP DRAGGING ME BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 page spread mockups. The first shows a drawing of a stag beetle with labels highlighting its different body parts. The second shows colour-coded diagrams of various insects, demonstrating the variety of body plans. The last has drawings of 5 different types of legs, each shaped for a different purpose.

A couple of page concepts from the book I'd love to create some day.

This Cestum sp. — also known as the Venus girdle ctenophore — is one of the largest of the comb jellies in our global Ocean. ROV pilots filmed it during the #OBVI #LivingBioreactors expedition with @schmidtsciences.bsky.social

Years ago I was obsessed with these Antarctic "tulips"-eventually learned they were TUNICATES, Molgula pedunculata #tunicateTuesday Such crazy lookin' things! www.researchgate.net/publication/...

A collection of “Tasteful Nudi’s” (part 4 of 4)
Nudibranchs are a type of sea slug - most of the 3000+ species share a few key traits - they riotously colored, slow, small, and have only one defense - chemical.
All shot in my first month of Bali in Sept2025 - lots more where this came from!

Illustration of my characters Tiarnach (left) and Emerik (right). They are both nude. It's a sensual and intimate scene of the two of them together. Tiarnach is a Sylvari from Guild Wars 2 with dark grey skin with a cool undertone that has a plant type of texture with red and blue accents. His hair is vine-line and resembles a style of braids. He has an eye with a red sclera and a black iris. The other side of his face, tho not completely visible, has a red spider lily flower grown where his other eye should be. He's looking up at Emerik with an expression of love and adoration, paired with a small smile as he sits back, held up by one arm. His other hand is holding Emerik's butt. Emerik's face isn't visible, but he's on his knees, straddling Tiarnach and cradling his face in his hands. One of his thumbs traces Tiarnach's lips. He has his black hair pulled into a side braid over his shoulder. There are golden strands woven throughout his hair. He has brown skin and nails painted light blue. There is a sheer fabric draped around his elbows and behind him in a light blue. They sit on a bed with an orange blanket covered in a sparkle/star pattern with yellow pillows that have a plaid pattern. Around them in the background are draperies of fabric. The red fabric has golden stars while the blue fabric has a subtle sparkle pattern and a golden trim on the bottom. The far bg is navy blue with a light gold outline that resembles smoke.

Happy Valentine's Day 💙🖤
Little star and flower are in love ⭐🌹

“Like a firefly in the middle of a field
filled with noise,
its shining, latent light within,
a tiny bell, small and soundless.
I fade away so that you may lose yourself.
I fold myself into my wings.”

Since this news story is popular with you people, here's a reminder that naming species after monstrous humans is a bad idea and a big problem.

The species in that preview is the Hitler beetle. Neo-Nazis have robbed museums and threatened people trying to get a specimen.

ahhh I love that! Having shapeshifting makes it really fun for a character hehe
