Illustration of a terrestrial "Blumbomen" creature from Snaiad, my upcoming book on the natural history of an alien planet. I am redesigning all animals from the previous incarnation of this project - this particular animal used to look like this: https://canopy.uc.edu/bbcswebdav/users/gibsonic/Snaiad/images/noslice/snaiadnew/sndcolor055.png
You...
Work on Snaiad is proceeding rapidly - mainly thanks to the support I am receiving from my patrons. Thanks everyone!

Painted in 2016, seen for the first time, and only, on Patreon.
Thanks for supporting me, and my works.

I'm busy redesigning my website on a new .html format.
The extant website, www.cmkosemen.com - is based on Tumblr, but is becoming difficult to maintain and is being subjected to arbitrary, machine-mediated censorship.
The restored website will have a new "photography" section, and will come with a new e-book of my sketches from between 2013 and 2019.
Thank you for supporting me on Tumblr - your support buys ...
The famous "Blumbomen" creatures from Snaiad have been redesigned. Their stumpy tails work as third limbs now, at least in larger forms...

I worked on these mostly Snaiad-related sketches over the weekend.
The owl-eyed monstrosity was ultimately rejected, but perhaps it can come back.
Here it is, as a gift to my two new patrons. I had painted this back in 2017, inspired by the forest graveyards of the "Yörük" nomads in Southwestern Turkey.

A fun discussion where I examine Göbeklitepe, one of the oldest human-built structures on the planet. I question whether this site was the “birthplace of civilisation”, as popularly claimed; or the site of a bloody death cult that fostered tribalism and humanity’s supremacy over nature.
Made possible in part by you guys!

I'm cashing in my first Patreon payout today, and I'm thankful for your support! 41 dollars is not much, but it can buy 213 of my local currency, which can pay for my expenses for a week! Wow!
Cheers, M

I'm now hard at work on the big Snaiad book.
It is going to take some time... Here's a colourful, mid-sized predator, the "Kuhanim Griffin".

A recently-discovered fossil animal, Eretmorhipis, strangely looks like one of the creatures designed for Snaiad in 2008. I guess this time, Snaiad wasn't "alien" enough :)

Mr. G. A. of Istanbul; creative V.P. and aviarist extraordinaire, owns one of the largest collections of my artwork in Turkey so far.

This is what I'm working on, most of these days...
I'm sure some among you will know what this project is.
Thank you all, so much, for your support.
Cheers,
M
