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.

3 more page mockups. The first looks at the topic of insect wings, with a large moth, butterfly, cranefly earwing and stick insect. The second looks at the 2 types of metamorphosis, and the 3rd is a page full of beetles.

After yesterday's nice feedback, here are another couple of spreads from my concept book.

This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes.
These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals.
Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests.  Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

Digital painting depicting a dangerous-looking old woman with long dark hair, long pointy nose, yellow glowing eyes and a wicked smirk. She is up to her thighs in river water, washing a bloodied sheet of linen. The scene is in darkness, with a strip of lighting illuminating her only partially. The surface of the water is covered in duckweed and there are ravens flying around the figure. The figure has metal coin jewelry woven into her wild, dark hair that falls down her back and into the water like a thick blanket. There is a full moon visible in the reflection of the water.
The credit text at the bottom includes: Crow&Crown logo, Aquarium logo, β€œCharlie Newt BorovskΓ½ @EyeOfTheNewt” and β€œΒ© Crow&Crown 2026”.

Been drawing a lot of dogs lately, which is funny cause someone at my FC table was asking if I had art of a certain breed and I responded "oh, I dont really tend to do domestic dogs."
But I did a ceramic dog recently, and I've been practicing drawing the same subject I'm sculpting, so here we are.

Now for my favorite piece that I painted for the Endangered: Australia board game by Grand Gamers Guild last year.

The Giant Barred Frog
A highly endangered frog in Australia, located in south eastern Queensland.

Rough little mini digital illustration of a female-type Black-throated Blue Warbler perched on sort of a hovering disembodied branch segment. She is a soft turquoise blue, greener at the head and richer blue on the back and tail, with a thin pointy black beak, white eyering, white belly, and black legs. The white patch on the primaries is a key identifying mark for this species regardless of age or sex.
