Perverted alien bioconstruct couch
A great fun commission for generous patron J. M., a long-time supporter of my monster art. This one evolved out of a brief mention of a bioconstruct prop in one of Robert Reed's books.A living couch always stood near the doorway, waiting to serve. Woven from three unrelated beasts-of-burden, non...

Post-human wheeled scooter creature
Created for the generous patron B. S. as the best sort of commission - he just wanted me to design "a post-human any-which way I wanted". Near-total freedom allows me to get far more creative with these designs.Right off the bat I created five widely-different concepts:My patron liked this l...
Donkey Kong's "King K. Rool" as a realistic pseudosuchian
A gift commission for my dear friend T. K. Sivgin - in honour of his fandom of the Donkey Kong universe. Behold Kroolasuchus - a spec-evo pseudosuchian that emulates the "King K. Rool" character. This illustration actually started out as a free-style sketch of a random pseudosuchian.I though...

🍄 Turning a streamer's logo into a cute critter 🍄
One of my generous patrons wanted to turn a palaeoart-themed stremer's logo into one of my surreal spec-evo creatures. He provided me with the original logo (seen below), and set me free to interpret it any way I wish. I tried numerous studies to turn this cute and whimsical logo into a "bel...

Giant polyandrous arthropod-like sophont alien
The isopod-like near-persona alien species designed by generous patron C., in full colour. Like others, this concept started out as a series of rapid pen-and-watercolour sketches based on my patron's original art. This final renditinon (with different colours) was chosen, and I drew out my ink-p...
An ant-sized-man and a man-sized-ant
Created for generous patron E., both based on the sketch above. It's easy to talk about an "ant-sized-man and a man-sized-ant" - but creating anatomically and evolutionarily-realistic renditions of these creatures is harder than it looks. Thus, I created detailed explanatory labels to go...

Snaiad: "Mullojiform" phylum taking shape
Behind the scenes, work on Snaiad is proceeding at full steam. I am now creating many "Mullojiforms" - mollusk-and-amphibian-like creatures from a novel, partially aquatic phylum. The idea for this entire phylum came from this one page from one of my 1990s sketchbooks - showing a variety of ...

"Composite Saint"
Charcoal and watercolour on art paper, 29 cm. wide.I'm really loving this mixed technique. It's really difficult to show them in scans, but the way charcoal and watercolors crash and melt into each other on wet paper creates some delicious results - looking as if the shapes formed inside the...
