In August 2024, I painted the works seen here for a free holiday at the peerless Nisanyan Hotel in Turkey's Izmir province. In exchange of these paintings, my dad and I had a free 3-day stay there. With temperatures well over 40 °c (100°F), I had to take these photos in my swimming trunks.

Commissioned by generous patron J. M. - the latest on an ongoing series.
The triangular nostril dilated. With that, the triangular mouth dilated, joining the nostril in taking in more air. The face and body were gray like clean steel. The two eyes opened halfway, gray-black and gazing at the illusion of sunshine. White pseudo-feathers rode the crest of the long head. What was more ...

I recorded a neat podcast with demographics & history YouTuber "KaiserBauch" on imagining near-future life in major cities, countries, etc. after the ongoing decline in birth rates takes full effect. Patreon viewers get first dibs. Enjoy!

The crocodile-like "therka" species, commissioned for the generous patron J. O.
These animals were meant to inhabit a setting loosely reminiscent of the 15th-century Italian Wars, I therefore illustrated one with a hazy background reminiscent of The Naturalist's Library by 2025-02-05 15:47:39 +0000 UTC

Small 8-section paint palette.
6 tubes of acrylic paint
Small watercolour kit
6 brushes
Small water sprayer
Several sheets of watercolour paper
Small plastic cup for water (refilled from cafe bathroom)
Plastic she...

Steed animal design for the Jiralhanae (Brute) species from the HALO universe, commissioned by the generous patron S.
This was one of my most complicated commissions. I completed it in three passes - one for the steed, one for the saddle / harness, and one for the final figure, mounted.
This approach enabled me to add more details to the creature's saddle and apparel, and prevented a mix...

One of my followers recently asked about this, so here are the completed chapters for All Tomorrows Redux so far.
Thanks for understanding the delay as I briefly had to focus all my energies on the All Tomorrows 1.0 print edition.
But fear not, I am happy to report that I am once again working on Redux. This book will be a massive update on the original; including glimpses of individual ...

Four sketches of marine-adapted future anoles that swim with the aid of modified dewlaps; homage to the work of my friend, the incredibly-skilled, severely-under-appreciated Jack "feller0_0" on Instagram. Please give him a follow over there - he is one of the greatest spec-evo artists alive today!

Palaeoart drawing for my own pleasure, depicting the predatory dinosaur Tameryraptor, known from fragmentary remains.
The little bump from the top part of the skull, indicated (B) on the diagram above, has been interpreted as a nose horn, but it was likely part of a more rugged texture on the animal's head.

I developed an intuitive new sketch technique - I always keep a bunch of random, associated pens, pencils, markers, watercolours, and crayons on my desk. I grab one at random, and complete details with whatever I have on my hand, draw for a while, then switch. I care not for color harmony or consistency. The results look incredibly vibrant and energetic!

Created for generous patron S. A.
Let's go over the creation process for this character.
This was the initial sketch, done with markers on tissue paper.
My patron added an expert finishin touch by suggesting a peeled face, almost like a Venetian mask.
