Doctor Yaphet was excited to finally find the egg of the rare and exotic buffo lizard. If only he could remember where he parked his starship.

Cornered and fighting for her life, Kara summoned the most fearsome warrior, master of the seven blades, taker of souls, deathbringer, and hatred incarnate... MR. GIBBLES.

Hey y'all! I'm on the lookout for fulltime and contract work. If there are any concept, art direction, or generalist digital artist roles you think I'm a fit for, please reach out.

Simple lines cut into triangles to lend them dynamic and transformational qualities.

My character, Khoja, from a Numenara adventure run by the brilliant @johnbooth.bsky.social

I think he looks way cooler now that his eyeball got ripped out and eaten by a telepathic, pipe dwelling creature in a sky pyramid. Just another day in the Ninth World.

THE must have toy this year on Geidi Prime. Baby So Harkonnen!™. Can you figure out its machinations of betrayal and subterfuge before it’s too late? Also cries and wets its hover chair.

In today's newsletter, OUR UNIVERSE: Part One...the story of a coffee table astronomy book that sold 2.5 million copies.

This week features my visual speculation on what alien life might look like on other planets. 1/2

theartofmichaelwhelan.substack.com/p/national-g...

Book cover for NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PICTURE ATLAS OF OUR UNIVERSE by Roy A. Gallant. Cover art by John Berkey features a white spaceship with red and blue highlights followed by a trail of intense flame. The aerodynamic nose of the craft intersects the arc of a planet. Smaller moons orbit below.

In the clouded skies of Jupiter, Swordtails attack Jellyblimps. The Swordtails resemble aquatic rays, forming broad triangles as they glide with wings wide. They drop tail down to dive bomb the black tentacled cephalopods dangling from green blimp-like air sacs on a series of black cords.

Skating on the surface of Europa with Jupiter looming behind, a green skinned Brinker-Roo slits bulbous eyes and focuses face tentacles forward as it tilts in an aggressive turn. It has no arms and finds balance in the arc of a long spotted neck and an aft heavy with meaty thighs and bony lower legs that end in skate blades. A spiral formation on its back stretches like a Slinky. Behind, its blunt tipped tail curls upward.

Same. I’m being way choosier about who I’m following here. Lots of folks who I 100% align with but I can’t make VITRIOL my full time job.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally:

I live somewhere between these two.

Simple art tip but, you don't even need a brush to do an even round tube. Just have a sketch layer using an even width brush with different colors for different depths. Then line it normally and the tube will feel nice and neat.
