I like to make art that explores my passion for animals and creatures defined by my Asperger Syndrome.

Final illustration of Mbielu-Mbielu-Mbileu. My version is a terrestrial forest-dwelling species representing a new stegosaur family I'm calling Prasinosauridae, related to extinct taxa like Paranthodon and Tuojiangosaurus. #mbielumbielumbielu #congo #cryptid

Pattern and color study of my Mbielu-Mbielu-Mbielu. My version is a dip forest-dwelling animal, so aside from the deep-green coloration I based the patterns on both iguanas and the Bongo antelope. #cryptid #cryptozoology #congo #mbielumbielumbielu #stegosaur

It's June, which means I get to illustrate another prehistoric cryptid. For this year I chose Mbielu-Mbielu-Mbielu #congo #cryptid #mbielumbielumbielu #specevolution #cryptozoology

Color scheming for my Kudagitsune. There are only two 18th century illustrations of this creature, both showing it as dark with a white face. I tried going for grey with out it being so dark that it could be mistaken for black. #japanesemythology #kudagitusne #kitsune

Quick turnaround of my take on the Kudagitsune, a small fox-like familiar spirit from Japan's Chubu region. #kitsune #japanesemythology #fox #kudagitsune

Costume color scheming for my Telchine. I chose tyrian purple as a show of their success as a culture, and based the spear design on Mycanean daggers and a unique agate sword. The text is a magical script called Ephesia Grammata #greekmythology #telchines

Color scheming of my Telchine. In 12.51 of his 'Chiliades', the Byzantine writer John Tzetzes described them having echinoid skin and poisonous stings, which inspired me to also give them venomous urchin spines. #greekmythology #telchine

Costume concepts for my Telchine. I stated wanting to dress it in a crafters apron holding a trident, but switched to a simple bathing suit and belt of tools with a spear since they were mor hydrodynamic. #greekmythology #telchines

Body turnaround of my Telchine. My take on them is an offshoot of an ancient Balkan population of dog-headed Cynocephali who were hybridized with Mediterranean Monk Seals by Pontus and Thalassa. #telchine #greekmythology

Serpent-Man wardrobe color scheme and final choice. I went through several different clothing designs before this point, as it is a challenge thinking about how to design robes in a way that could fit on a lizard body.

Color exploration and final choice for my Serpent-Men. I based both the preference for green and the diamond pattern on their description in Lin Carter's short story 'The Utmost Abomination' from Weird Tales vol 47 #2

Body study and turnaround for my Cthulhu Mythos Serpent-Men. I don't think a purely human-like body makes sense, so I based their anatomy on varanids with limbs long enough to move either bipedally or quadrupedally

I've been working on an illustration of the Serpent-Men from the Cthulhu Mythos, starting with the head based on primitive cretaceous snakes.
