Hey there! I’m Emil, a hobby artist who loves the ocean, prehistory, and fantasy. Warm palettes with muted colours are my jam, and a lot of my work focuses on marine life.

Rendered in a rough painterly style, a shortfin mako shark leaps from a calm ocean tail over head, sea foam trailing its body in a loose arc. The shark, looking nearly metallic, is rimmed with orange light as a pale yellow sun hangs in a hazy orange sky and frames its streamlined figure.

Drawing of a horseshoe crab rendered in warm browns and cool shadows. It has a smooth horseshoe-shaped carapace with occasional spiked protrusions along subtle ridges of its shell and the edge of its abdomen. Its long tail is angled sharply to the right as if in motion. The background is a pale teal color.

Drawing of a coconut octopus. It has a small dark brownish red body with a yellowish siphon and striking white suckers along its wriggling arms. The background is a teal color.

A California sea lion rendered in rich brown and orange tones rests upon a rock in teal shore waters below a softly glowing orange sky. Its slender head is raised to look over its back and to the right while a large crest of white sea foam frames its figure.

leopard among the forest

Illustration of a kelp forest in a teal ocean, rays of golden sunlight streaming in from above. Fish are swimming about, and near the bottom of a prominent kelp strand, a partially obscured leopard shark leisurely patrols the underwater forest. The palette predominantly features warmer teals, red violet, and gold.

as the world gets worse you need to look at more bugs. it will help, in a cosmic sort of way. there's little animals around you that you can look at as they do little animal things. look a bug as soon as possible. connect with other animal in this way and know

The second this shit was bought out by Canva I was worried for its downfall. No ePub support for Publisher, but we’ll get whatever the hell this is.

I'm giving it a 50/50 on this being Affinity going AI because what the fuck does this even mean. Might as well start looking around for a replacement.

Illustration of a trio of lemon sharks swimming in a shallow turquoise ocean over white sand. The topmost shark seems to be looking toward the viewer, a pair of remora attached to their side.

I tend to be out of the loop with well known artists, and I've only recently seen the wildlife art of Bob Kuhn. Incredible color and simplicity while still displaying a strong knowledge of the subjects.

"Velvet Removal" a moose scratching his antlers on a tree, rendered in vivid but still lifelike colors.

"Not this Time" a detailed jaguar pouncing an egret in a loose jungle setting.

"Shady Spot" a coyote sits in the shade surrounded by a brightly lit scrub land. Fur and vegetation details are implied through smart brushwork.

"Hit and Miss" a dynamic scene of lionesses hunting antelope, with a focus on a lioness reaching into the air at an even higher jumping antelope.

Golden Moment

A drawing of a fowldyr character that belongs to Eraili
Fowldyr are a closed species created by Stasanie (me)

A drawing of a winged deer-like creature with a pelt in shades of cream, gold, and brown. His wings are lined with jade coloured feathers with gilded edges. Around his neck is a thick green rope from which many jade beads and tassels hang. He stands in a shallow pond with red lily pads scattered across the surface. Swaying red willow branches streak across the canvas. #Stasanie #Fowldyr
