Cockroaches

Been a while.

First, a little roach design based on the species archiblatta hoeveni; done for my cockroach-specific Twitter account, here.



And this design is now more-or-less on my body as a tattoo, though it still needs a little work to make it look identical...

And lastly, an older drawing that's very special to me because it represents how I feel about roaches. They're beautiful to me but ugly to most, they're misunderstood, fascinating, strong, everlasting and worthy of far more appreciation and respect than they get. This world belongs to them... not us.

First Art Blog - Animals

I thought I should start out by posting some of my older works. Each post will be of a different "theme", from realistic animal drawings, to exaggerated/fantasy drawings of bugs, to scenery paintings, to monsters, to humans/clowns/personal characters. For now, here are some older works of animals.

Digital painting of a cecropia moth. Done for my good friend, Lisa, who adores these as much as I do.

Old sketch of a hermit crab. Used a reference and basically eyeballed it to try and make it as realistic as possible.

And an older digital painting of a mantis shrimp, such a beautiful and powerful creature. Sorry if my signatures confuse you; Vera is an alter-ego of mine, much like Boogle.

That's all for now!
