Bugs are good #InverteFest #sciart https://t.co/evJpgcYOpf
Greetings #InverteFest friends, it's all snowy outside but in this recent tropical illustration (which I can't reveal the full details of yet) I took the opportunity to #insertaninvert - two, actually! A leaf katydid (Phaneropterinae) and an ichneumonid wasp.
For #ArtAdventCalendar today, an assortment of more #DnD5e illustrations. All of these NPCs are trouble in their own way, whether a stranded mindflayer, the archfey of music and cicadas, a power-hungry cloud giant or a demon who can planeshift
Okay perhaps I was a handful of days early for #invertefest BUT here are more inverts to make up for it.
Complete 180 from yesterday's #ArtAdventCalendar is this image of a Black-backed Woodpecker rising like a phoenix from the flames of the Sierra Nevada wildfires. This woodpecker is a fire-dependent species that eats beetle larvae. Done for @InstBirdPop #sciart
Today for #ArtAdventCalendar, the Great Gray Owl I recently illustrated for @InstBirdPop because it just looks so seasonal!
Having recently sketched one of these #DoofyTreeChickens I'm all too happy to contribute! Plus a couple photos of my last tree chicken being exceptionally doofy as a bonus. https://t.co/ofSoBmI2cX
Today's #ArtAdventCalendar piece is an immature male American Redstart preening. Males of this species spend a whole year in female-like plumage before getting the adult black and orange colors - except for a few black speckles on the head. #sciart
Today for #ArtAdventCalendar, a piece I did for a (still unpublished) manuscript involving the birds of Saipan. This is the nosa' or Saipan White-eye (Zosterops saypani), sometimes considered a subspecies of Bridled White-eye. #sciart
Check your mailboxes, folks! The winter thank you cards from @InstBirdPop that I illustrated should be arriving soon, if they haven't already!
This card features the Great Gray Owl, which is one of our research subjects. See more: https://t.co/kupUmePtSF
