This snowberry clearwing moth (Hemaris diffinis) hid among the bumblebees on the monarda and did its best to avoid being photo’d.

The solution was to simply repaint different but overlapping segments of the same tapestry twice, which is fine because hey you already have the palette laid out, and you get enough wiggle room to stitch them together and pick the bits that work better

Thrilled to take a crack at my first wraparound cover, done for @scumbelievable.bsky.social's "dark Dinotopia" novella WYRM. I digitally laid out a medieval tapestry of a battle of men but realized getting the right amount of detail vs my preferred level of "finish" would need an increase in scale

A quick fan Grappler of @simonroy.bsky.social 's Refugium comic: The Ciggy Badger

"With refuse often mistaken for signs of humanity, Ciggy Badgers roll leaves together and light them with a sparking "tooth" to smoke out parasites and ward predators. This skill is seemingly instinctual."

I had the honor of being asked by @simonroy.bsky.social to design a creature for Refugium! His kickstarter is live and you should definitely check it out if you’re an enjoyer of creatures, alien worlds, comics, and all things good!

starting a comic: fun, looking at the beautiful path ahead eager for adventure the birds are singing; you packed a bottle of water & a snack finishing the comic: uphill, shoes full of mud, backpack full of rocks not sure why you put them there. by the time you're home the pizza place will be closed

Here is the one-page comic for April. The theme this time was traveling shepherd. There is a hungarian folk song that inspired this, if you are interested google "A juhásznak jól van dolga"

there's nothing like drawing a comic set in a sparse (but easy to draw quickly) environment - and (small caveat) if you can draw like linnea, it'll look incredible no matter what

We're actually running a little alien design competition over the next week, too, if you've got some speculative biological inspiration flowing in your veins - post your submission of an altamiran life form under #refugium2024 and we'll announce a winner on April 26th!
