Snaiad: Scale figures with a human colonist

The inimitable "Ather Promethium" was kind enough to model as the "human colonist comparison figure" for Snaiad. A well-rendered human figure really makes these creatures come alive! Please consider supporting Ather Promethium on Buy Me a Coffee, at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/promethiums

The elusive #Snaiad flyers revealed

A forest-flying Corythopterus, probably life-sized, ready for scanning and screentoning.
These creatures will be one of the several "vertebrate" groups of flyers. There will also be "non-vertebrate" flyers too.

Two new improvised watercolours

I have been collaborating with a leading local Youtube channel for a series of videos where I explore Istanbul's historic neighbourhoods, encounter and explain weird details, and then draw improvised artwork based on the things I have seen.

These videos are still in production, but here are two of the improvised watercolours that appear in them.

As always, thank you all for your support on Patreon and beyond...

Snaiad: Male and female polar creatures

Here are sneak previews of unnamed creatures that inhabit the far-northern Lakeland subcontinent on Snaiad. Despite looking extremely different, they belong to the same species.

The females have big, spacious first-head mouths which they use to shelter their young well into their development. They have comparatively few children, and take good care of them.

What should we call these guys?

New painting on found bark: "Pterosaur Spirit"

Here is an experimental piece - painted on a piece of bark. I wanted to capture the sensibility of a pterosaur - perhaps something like Sericipterus - without using direct anatomical references - "the spirit of the thing" if you will.

New paint sketch

I make dozens of such sketches every week - watercolour and charcoal outlines on cheap newsprint. Not sure if they are "complete" works or just glorified sketches, but I like them a lot... I called this one "Major Imperfection".

New painting series: The Divider of Light

I've been obsessed with this one winged figure with things like spider wings coming out of his head - dividing the universe into different spectra of colours as he moves.

I've been painting it for a while now, here are five of its incarnations for your eyes only... Which one is your favourite?
