Taking a break from comics today to start a small batch of these guys to sell.

I'll be setting up a Big Cartel shop called Cassowary Dad but in the meantime please DM me if you'd like first dibs on these 3 hand-painted air dry clay sculptures, approx. 12x10cm, £120 each (UK shipping incl). #sciart

The artwork shows a boat with travelers passing through a town. There are three people on the boat. They wear large brown hats and long robes. There are some pagodas and buildings in the background behind green mountains. There are some hills with plants and large orchids. There's a green and white heron on the left side of the image and some ducks in the water on the right side of the image. The artwork is mostly green and brown with some pops of pink color.

Voyage

An illustration that is still just line art, without color. It depicts an urban scene featuring my sharkfolk, with different species going about their daily lives among the tall buildings of downtown of Tidebay city.

I've made a little more progress with the color blocking. It still feels a bit messy to me, sometimes I have trouble balancing the shadow colors.

That's it for now. If you'd like to see the full progress and the complete illustration, you can check it out on my Patreon, if you'd like!

Digital Drawing. The bright, ghost-like figure of a giant moa walks through the dim forest interior, framed by trees to the left and right. The ground is covered in ferns, and a layer of moss has grown on the trees. A few branches hang at the top of the frame.

Mixed media Edinburgh tenements sketch

Screenshot of a procreate canvas showing a cropped drawing of a harpy-like monster with human teeth overlapped by an eagle's beak, screaming furiously.

Multiple sketches of the same harpy monster from various angles and with different expressions, showing how the human jaws and beak overlap and move independently.

Coloured digital drawing of a harpy-like monster with a set of skinless human jaws behind her beak.

random character design spotlight: Fortune the harpy. She owns a magic casino and traps people in debt servitude. I wanted to try the beak and human teeth thing and she's fun to draw.

The violent jump from 2019 to 2026 🪶

A shimmering cascade winds through a city of radiant domes and spires all rendered in gold. Eventually the concentrated stream dissipates as it exits lower right through an ornate gate of intersecting arches. Descending from high, an animated string of human figures, varying in sequential poses, vanishes down into a large jeweled window atop the largest dome. Across the dome's facade a nonsensical string of symbols floats (a dove, padlock, ammonite, hourglass, rowboat, starfish, etc).

Art by flaroh illustration; on the left, a couple are walking past the thermopolium wearing their finery. On the right, two children play in the road with their dog while their nursemaid orders them onto the pavement. Behind them, a matrona enters the street from some steps, shielding her eyes from the sun while her attendant holds a parasol. Across the road from the two, a togate man and his two attendants walk towards the thermopolium and are acknowledged by one of the old-timers at the door. Moving further to the background, a donkey cart loaded with amphora approaches the stepping stones. To its left two people chat at the fountain, and a child plays with his doll next to the man. Above, people look out from windows and balconies, gossiping or doing household chores.

My illustration of Life in a Roman Street 🏛️🍷🌿🚶🏻‍♀️

anyway, it's a lovely scene, full of life and obviously thoroughly researched!

THIS was the scene people complained about?? presumably because there's a dark skinned person? my god, imagine knowing that little yet feeling emboldened enough to complain...

The Bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) are out in the woods!! This is one of my favourite times of year, despite my anti-pollen mask preventing me from smelling the gorgeous scent

“Blue & Gold” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso. A portrait of a young black woman looking peacefully towards the viewer. Her skin is adorned with gold circuitry forming a wearable technology, she has gold eye makeup and a round gold stud piercing in her nose and below her bottom lip. She wears a blue tunic with golden patterns that match the circuitry she wears.

A juvenile Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris), which was making such a fuss on its branch, evidently calling for dinner from mum and dad!
