WORK IN PROGRESS - Can you name this genus? Knowing where I am from, can you guess what is missing within this genus? And what other genera of birds might fill up this set? #omnicogni #joaotiagotavares #digitalillustration #digitalart #scienceillustration #biologicalillustration #birds #ornithology #warblers #migration #portugal — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/tjkWw0J

omnicogni replied to your post “Can you help me ID a bird of prey I keep seeing? I've never seen them...”

Do nighthawks fly by day often? Across the Atlantic the nightjars are all quite nocturnal.

 As a genus, Caprimulgidae, or nightjars as they’re better known, tend to be crepuscular (active dusk/dawn) or nocturnal. However, some nightjars will become diurnal, particularly those that migrate like the common nighthawk. Around this time of year, common nighthawks have started to head north!

"She looks like she is feeling better". A derivation from my personal project Iberica イベリア語 which resulted in a drawing I gave my niece last christmas. What do you imagine these characters could be saying? #omnicogni #joaotiagotavares #illustration #illustrator #conceptart #visualdevelopment #characterdesign #environments #mixedmedia #pencil #traditionalart #digitalillustration #digitalart #Photoshop #childrensbookillustration #fantasy #nature #rabbit #fieldmouse #moss #forest #foraging #mushroom #fungi— view on Instagram https://ift.tt/IoUjAtO

Infographics use images and data visualizations like charts and graphs along with minimal text to summarize information on a topic. Here is an example. This illustration could be used for something like a science schoolbook or a science magazine for kids. Why did I illustrate an albino rabbit instead of a wild one? For visual contrast. #omnicogni #joaotiagotavares #illustrator #digitalillustration #digitalart #scienceillustration #biologicalillustration #schoolbooks #science #naturalscience #lifescience #fieldguide #biology #infographic #datavisualization #diorama #editorialillustration #magazineillustration #graphicdesign — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/gx2WRrw

This image is part of the process for something I am working on. Here I had not put any colors but blue and actually this particular image was excluded (can you guess why? It was a -bird ringing-technically incorrect detail I should have thought of in advance). But I think it might work as a bit of a teaser for what is coming ahead. #omnicogni #joaotiagotavares #illustration #illustrator #traditionalart #mixed media #watercolor #digitalillustration #characterdesign #girls #womeninscience #blue #conservation #birds — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/X3vwjmM

It has been 20 years since my graduation thesis to become a biologist was presented at the University of Évora. This was the first slide of that presentation and my graphic design skills were pure instinct so don't take this as my best work. The watercolour illustration is my favorite part of it, and it takes my mind away from the fact that almost all those orange squares on the grid (which is a map of rufous bush chat presence) are now underwater in the Alqueva dam. I fear only a couple of orange squares might represent todays reality there. #omnicogni #joaotiagotavares #traditionalart #watercolor #ink #mixedmedia #graphicdesign #biologicalillustration #scienceillustration #cercotrichasgalactotes #rufousbushrobin #rufousbushchat #conservation #rarebird #biology #ecology #portugal #iberia #alentejo #throwback — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/21GfplR

This is a Mediterranean Monk Seal, one of the most endangered seals int he world, and a rare and iconic animal of Portuguese waters. Despite the name , this species has colonies also in the Atlantic, with a small recovering population in the Madeira archipelago, where it is know as "lobo-marinho" - literally meaning sea wolf. After a successful rebound in the last decade or so, the current world population stands at around 600-700 individuals (of which 350-450 are mature animals). Each illustration in this series is commercially available for use in conservation, education and ecotourism projects.

Down in the deep ocean, life is in the dark, but it does not mean it is absent, that it is all empty. At a time when Deep Sea Mining is being discussed, to show people what it looks like down there is utterly important. Life in the depths tends to aggregate around food sources, and when a whale dies it might attract creatures for months! This illustration was created for LUMINAR, a travelling science exhibit developed by a consortium of portuguese science musea (identified in the picture). #omnicogni #joaotiagotavares #gobiuscomunicacaoeciencia #illustrator #scienceillustration #biologicalillustration #digitalillustration #digitalart #deepseacreatures #deepsea #cephalopod #octopus #squid #mollusc #ocean #marine #marinebiology #spermwhale #sixgillshark #myxina #nezumiaaequoralis #paromolacuvieri #ophiuroidea #portugal — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/cGdiWN3

One more from my collection of illustrations of Endemic, Rare and Iconic species from Portugal. Monteiro's Storm Petrels breed during the "warm season" (Apr-Oct) exclusively in some islets of the Azores archipelago. It is genetically isolated even from other storm petrels that breed in the same places but during the cold season, and hence it is morphologically and vocally distinguishable. It is a sought after species among keen birders. Each illustration in this series is commercially available for use in conservation, education and ecotourism projects.

"Show-me the Sea!" is a bilingual storybook aimed at increasing Ocean Literacy of pre-schoolers. A digital version of it won the Excellency Award for Educational Resources from Casa das Ciências (casadasciencias.org) in 2020. In 2022 it was published in hard cover by @letras.lavadas and was approved into the Portuguese "Plano Nacional de Leitura" - a curated list of books which are advised for particular age groups. I wrote, illustrated and created the graphic design of the book. #omnicogni #joaotiagotavares #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #childrensbookillustration #sealife #biodiversity #environmentaleducation #bluewhale #whaleshark #sailfish #crab #oarfish #ocean #oceanliteracy #characterdesign #graphicdesign #storytelling #showmethesea #mostrameomar #preschool #firstgrade — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/Cp4lxGL

This is a new vector drawn version of a crab character in "Show me the Sea!", a storybook aimed at increasing Ocean Literacy of pre-schoolers. I wrote, illustrated and created the graphic design of the book. Little crab here is getting ready to be animated by other folks but let me tell you more about this soon. #omnicogni #joaotiagotavares #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #childrensbookillustration #sealife #biodiversity #environmentaleducation #crab #ocean #oceanliteracy #characterdesign #vectorillustration #animation #graphicdesign #storytelling #showmethesea #mostrameomar — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/R5jfphr

I have finished a new digital illustration! An Iberian Lynx, an almost magical creature that has come back to the some of the wildest corners of Southern Portugal. It's population has been on the increase for some time now, due to a successful reintroduction program. Can you guess what I have next on my to do list? Maybe a spider? #omnicogni #joaotiagotavares #illustration #digitalillustration #digitalart #illustrator #scienceillustration #biologicalillustration #biodiversity #iberianlynx #lynx #lynxpardinus #portugal #alentejo #algarve #iberianpeninsula — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/YbEBGVC
