Pseudospinosaurus

Had they not become extinct, pseudosuchians could have probably evolved into forms that resemble outdated "retro" views of dinosaurs.

Here is Pseudospinosaurus - a speculative form which resembles our old view of Spinosaurus.

Realistic "My Singing Monsters" commission: Blarret

Created for generous donor O. R., who has been supporting me with realistic commissions of numerous creatures from the My Singing Monsters universe.

This is what the original Blarret looks like in-game; a weasel-like creature with three mouths stacked like a totem pole.

Aquatint experiments

Thanks to your generous donations, I was able to invest in aquatint pencils and quality art paper. I am now busy developing a new hybrid surreal art style that blends watercolours, pencils, and charcoal.

The resulting works really glow! Art supplies (and costs of living in general) are really expensive these days, and every penny really makes a difference. Thank you all for your suppo...

Pseudocarnotaurus

Had they not become extinct, pseudosuchians could have probably evolved into abelisaur-like forms. I named this one Pseudocarnotaurus.

Rose-headed giant

A transgressive titan - commissioned by generous patron S. A. - for the upcoming "Liminality" game project!

Here is the study page for this design. For complicated, multi-limbed forms, I usually draw different elements separately, and assemble them in Photoshop later, like Lego parts. Here are the two iterations that came from this sketch:

Snaiad: Arthrognath "bugfish" reveal

Behind closed doors, work on the Snaiad remake is proceeding well. A big challenge last month was the finalisation of the bodyplan for the Arthrognath phylum - which is extremely diverse in fish-like niches on Snaiad.

The spiritual inspiration for this group came from an obsolete reconstruction of the enigmatic Cambrian animal Nektocaris. Arthrognaths have an arthropod-like "head", a vertebrate-like body, two pincer-like forelimbs which usual...

Heart-shaped Modular variant from the #AllTomorrows universe

Commissioned by generous patron J. - a giant, heart-like Modular person from the All Tomorrows universe.

Let's take a deeper look into the design process of this creature. I first started with a few simple pencil-and-watercolour sketches.

A tree-like form.

Another "tree" with a swollen "head".

Turning a patron's cat into a cute li'l maggot

Created for generous patron S. - a rendition of her beloved chunky cat as a maggot-like chimaera. This version was chosen from out of three alternative studies, shown below:

The "gnostic cobra".

The "Cambrian critter".

Pesky political intrigue has resulted in all social media being banned in my country as of the 19th of March, 2025. I have been using the surplus time very wisely - here is a new painting, oil on canvas board, 30 cm. high.

Commission: Turning a pet bunny into an serpentoid chimera

Commissioned by generous patron P. V., a pet rabbit abstracted into a snake-like chimera.

This design was made specially so that it could be composited with my patron's other pet rabbit - which I also re-created as an arachnoid monstrosity.

Commission: Turning a pet bunny into an arachnoid hybrid

A very fun commission I completed recently. The patron who commissioned this had two bunnies, which I was to "alien-ify" somehow. We experimented with a bunch of designs first. Here are my sketches:

Ideal American house

Some things I can't fathom in suburban American housing include the total exposure of the entrance floor to intrusion; and the vulnerability of the materials to fire.

Here, then, are my fantasy sketches for "ideal American houses", with concrete & steel rebar construction, and a windowless entrance floor with a solid metal door to deter intruders. The second sketch also features a fully en...
