The struggle fish. For the fullness of the struggle, join my patreon, but you can just check him out here too.

Sebastes paucispinis aka Bocaccio And some phallic sponges and anemones.

That's 3 complete! About 53 more to go. Also yo, if he looks extra texturey.... This guy's using glaze! I still need to download Nightshade. I think that one's the bigger game changer. But it begins, especially here as Tumblr has continued to just make poor decisions.

Making repeat patterns is a fun challenge, I think. Here's one I put together a few years ago, collecting various animals and plants from Australia. I think this was actually one of the first big projects I did in gouache, which has since become my preferred medium. (available on Redbubble)

Well, it’s been a journey, but it’s high time it’s come to an end. These baby baldies gotta leave the nest! *uploads massive file*

This piece reads well as a thumbnail/at a distance, which I quite like. I had to wind up the rendering so there are likely some little fiddly details that are missing, but I don’t know that they’re all that important. 

This was an incredible project and I’m so happy I’ve tackled it, but I think I could sleep for a year.

A lovely little hamster 💕 this is a sketch for something I made for my friend last year. It ended up being lots of watercolor paintings styled like old (and worn) natural history illustrations 😊 here's the first!
