Black and white hornbill portrait

Black-and-white-casqued hornbill (female) made with black and white charcoal on toned paper. I was interested in their beaks that, while not flashy and colorful like other hornbills, have a color and texture that reminded me of worn wood.

im not even in a godzilla mood right now, but that's the time im least biased about my decisions towards this thing, so

Sisters and Juggernauts - read about them here (www.tumblr.com/spookygibber...)

in short:
Messor ibericus queens mate with either ibericus or structor males

if the male is also ibericus
she produces the next generation of queens or males (to mate with other queens)

if the male is structor
she produces workers or clones of the father (to make more workers)

One mother for two species via obligate cross-species cloning in ants - Nature In a case of obligate cross-species cloning, female ants of Messor ibericus need to clone males of Messor structor to obtain sperm for producing the worker caste, resulting in males from the same moth...

Look at this crazy thing!

A vertically long white drawing on black. the main figure is a wave of white, flowing from the bottom to the top composed of various invertebrates swimming and flying in unison - a sea slug, a bristle worm, a remipede, mosquito, jellies, and so on. lighter on the background are rough sketches of geometric pattern complementing the fluidly moving animals.

Here's the #InverteFest art book August 2025 cover posted in full - how many species can you identify in this piece? I'll post the answer later when I have the time to annotate the image.

Our science photo book The Radiant Sea is out Sept 2nd!!
30 years of research, 10 years of "we should", and a year of collating pix and writing.
Sönke and I show (mostly for the first time) images of how organisms produce, use, and interact with light in the sea. #bioluminescence #fluorescence 🦑🧪🌊

Introducing a crazy new look for Spicomellus, based on new osteoderms unlike anything we've ever seen before. I was brought in to produce a life reconstruction based on the new material, published today in Nature by Maidment et al:

Alright, this one's moving! This was a material experiment in blender. Took me a while, but it was worth it!

These are the genders recognized by one of the most long lasting series of cultures in the world of Total Convergence..? - the Yuwiilik, or as I call them, the gut culture. And there are three to four in total: The man, the siiyuo, and two woman subtypes - the yuoi and the yuou. #worldbuilding

A drawing of Dagoth ur standing with a cigarette in his right hand that’s hanging down at his side and a can in his left. He is wearing a black t shirt with the TOOL logo from the 2000s and “10,000 Days” album

Drop refs, I wanna do these in train. :3

Moots prioritized but if non-moot and I get crazy inspired by your character, I might do it...

Behold! My most complex animated project to date! I learned a lot about Deinonychus and NPR rendering through this, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. What else can we do with this style? Stay tuned!
