A digital painting of a blue damselfly resting on a broken grass stem

A damselfly I painted many years ago to see if I could, and as an attempt to see if there was a market for stock images of invertebrates. A few such images actually lead to work!

A vintage watercolor plate style digital painting of a Christmas tree decorated by various pink birds and a twelve-wired bird of paradise as the star. The pink birds are: Japanese waxwing, Anna’s hummingbird, purple finch, Phillippine dwarf kingfisher, pink robin, Eurasian bullfinch, rose robin, Chilean flamingo, black rosy-finch, Jambu fruit dove and galah.

I drew my friend a natural history illustration-style painting of a Christmas tree decorated in birds of her favorite color, pink! I chose birds from a wide range of families that are pink - otherwise it would've just ended up being a finch tree.
Which one's your favorite?

It was done in 20 minutes! The point of the exercise was to be quick, so I'd say i succeeded!

Thank you! I don't, but I wish I did.

Print of some really weird birds… (drawn for a friend)

Spurred on by new pterosaur paper. I‘ve been meaning to draw something like this for a while now and I wanted to get it down on paper. Pretty rough, may or may not clean it up later on.

pencil drawings of local birds + brown creeper!!!

Trying out Procreate‘s new watercolor brushes… I‘m in love!

There‘s more than just pterosaurs that call this habitat home. Take a closer look - how many creatures can you find?

close, but that’s almost halfway there!

Because I'm a lazy, lazy man, I'm copying text from the start of my Patreon post that describes this scene. If you want to read the rest of the discussion, you need to visit https://www.patreon.com/posts/132334586 (I may be lazy, but I'm not stupid. OK, not _that_ stupid.) "It's nighttime in Early Cretaceous China, in the part of the world that will eventually be recorded as the Yixian Formation. A light dusting of snow covers the winter ground, and only the coniferous trees retain their leaves. The light of a full moon spreads through the misty sky, obscuring distant mountains but illuminating a large dinosaurian predator, Yutyrannus. It is consuming the bloodied remains of a small dinosaur that, from the silhouette, looks to have been a Psittacosaurus. Quietly surrounding the carnivore is a group of eight smaller dinosaurs: compsognathids. Their small size, long, stripy brown tails and facial masks betray them as Sinosauropteryx. They appear to be congregating in the hope of getting access to the Psittacosaurus carcass, some peering around the larger dinosaur at a respectful distance to identify pilferable morsels. The Yutyrannus is ten times their length and towers above them: surely it's best to wait until it's finished? Unless... wait: are these Sinosauropteryx enterprising opportunists, patiently waiting for the larger predator to have their fill? Or are they juveniles waiting for their parent – a tyrannosauroid – to finish with the carcass before they can have access, or even for it to provision them with food? What the heck has actually been depicted here?"

New at #Patreon: discussion of this scene of Sinosauropteryx waiting out a feeding Yutyrannus for carcass access. Or - hold on - are they waiting for their parent to feed them? Behold, the compsognathid identity dispute, now #paleoart flavoured! #sciart #dinosaurs
