Neanderthal characters Lur and Chori for The Wurmian Chronicles. Art by Agustin Diaz.
Illustration of an elderly neanderthal man, seen from the chest up, with grey-streaked hair and beard, a large nose and scars, wearing a fur coat thrown on his shoulder and some hawk feathers. He’s holding a tiny yellow and rufous bird on his palm and looking at it closely. The bird looks ill, with puffed up feathers and half-closed eyes.

For as long as we have had imaginations and languages to convey them, humans have been seeing our fellow creatures as more than just food.
Here, an elderly neanderthal is pondering an unusual injured bird - a yellow-breasted bunting, today critically endangered.
Two cave art inspired Megaloceros bucks creating their own thunder in the grass. This is a subsection of something bigger I was trying, but this is lovely on its own.

Why no clothes?
Loggerhead Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus)
Love me some tan Velociraptors! Possibly their most plausible coloration.
I know a pretty girl when I see one, she’s absolutely gorgeous!

A mastodon stands leg-deep in a foggy lake with its trunk in its mouth. A misty forest of conifers towers in the background. A heron is perched on top of the mastodon, while two ducks swim nearby and a few more fly in the background.

A mostly brown Homotherium in side view, next to a rendition of a sculpted figurine and the silhouette of a hand print. A piexe of text says: "Homotherium latidens - Grotte d'Isturitz, France - around 34 thousand years before present".
OK, decided to tweak it a little because me trying to parallel the animal with the figurine displayed horizontally obscured the fact that it had high shoulders and not a flat back 🙃
