Chambered nautilus study

Photo of a painting of a chambered nautilus in green-blue water. The nautilus is dark red, pale orange and white with blue shadows. The shell is striped, counter shaded so it's darker on top and lighter on the bottom. The painting rests on a wood table, and a paintbrush is visible in the upper left corner.

One of my much earlier drawings.

An extreme closeup showing a series of blue-green lines on a black background

A slightly zoomed out view showing this is part of a black wing with an iridescent shine.

More zoomed out - we now see some spiky black legs and a spotted cream and black body. It's a beetle.

The full drawing - its a goliath beetle with large spread wings.

Three of the Insect paintings I did last year. A blue south American cicada, an Atlas beetle in purple, and a ladybug. I'll be making prints of the Atlas beetle and ladybug once I get a good scan of them. I'd like to sell the originals, too! #sciart #invertart #insect #art

Happy #InverteFest everybuggy Have some harnessed tiger moths. 🧡

An illustration of harnessed tiger moths, which have wings reminiscent of cathedral windows. Their bodies are black, white, and orange. In the illustration, there are nine arranged 3 by 3. They alternate between wings open and wings closed. The moths are on a two-tone mossy green background.

Happy #InverteFest! Cicadas say trans rights because transformation is powerful 💜

Digital painting of a cicada in 3 stages of development clinging to a tree trunk. The bottom one is the glistening golden empty shell left behind when cicadas emerge. Toward the right in the middle we have the just emerged cicada which looks vaguely unformed and is an amorphous pale beige color. At the top toward the left, we have the fully realized cicada, re-imagined by me with pale blue wings, pink eyes and pink highlights on its black shell to evoke the colors of the trans pride flag. The background is abstract and blurred but suggests blue sky, white clouds, a pink sunset, and grayish-brown land.

I have taken and cleaned a few moults now and have them chilling in some cool jars! Here's a moult I found this morning that I ended up going back for around lunch when I checked on the nymph 😅. I would've grabbed the one from the nymph but it was too high up lol

The cicada adventures continue! ✦⁺ My partner and I rescued a cicada nymph this morning and returned it to a tree! I checked on it later and thankfully it safely emerged. I am a bit sad I missed seeing that process though. The last picture is it's moult!

I have only drawn a handful of dry and wet isopods over the last few #Invertober years, but they are good goobies

#SciArt 2x2 grid of semi-realistic isopod paintings on a black background, from top left:
zebra black and white isopod
green thin algae isopod
zebra black and yellow tod isopod
deep sea isopod but it is very orange with yellowish leggies

That's so very cool, congrats! Also, great way to start things off with an isopod!

I don’t care how respected you are as a person, science educator, author, artist, etc. If I find out that you are using generative AI in any aspect of your work, you lose all of my respect.

Don't let others pressure you to monetize your art. Also, Create for yourself and focus on your goals rather than focusing on pleasing others.
