, i'll be posting some of my own aquatic hominids (from a slow burning project of mine called "men of earth").
First up - the ancestral monopod, from which all later mer-folk would evolve...
this was printed in b&w in "Jan's Atomic Heart" in 2014, but this color version hasnt made the rounds as much. Bonus points if you can decipher the environmental storytelling lol (2/2)
Prosthesis is called 'the anti-robot' because it has no automation and is 100% controlled by the person inside via the exoskeletal interface. This is why it is what is known as a mech, not a robot

I was so inspired, back when I first saw this machine, that I designed a version to give the space cannibal antagonists from my book Habitat (2016) … (1/4)
if you see this tweet, you have to mention one of your favorite paintings

My old friend and collaborator
@cmkosemen
has recently uploaded the (near) entirety of our 2009-2011ish speculative biology project on his website - and I suggest you take a moment to pore over his lovingly assembled summary of the project's development.
My second poster for
@CHAPOTRAPHOUSE
is one that seventeen-year-old me would be extremely excited about - and which, honestly, I'm still pretty horned up over. Enter the ZONE... of CHAPO TRAP HOUSE!
So, your starship crashlands on an oceanic world, and your descendants want to set off from your archipelago and get into piracy. How do you make your pirate ship?

note -this was made when i was living in calgary (the magpies and birch are straight from the bow river valley) and highly inspired by Anders Nilssen's "big questions" - enough so that i sent it to him as a student and his response was "bro wtf"

Bill Watterson is by far the artist that most inspired me as a lil kid - and every time i see one of his strips, it still rules harder than 90% of all other comics. The king.
This Megalosaurus was apparently made by sculptor and mining inspector Jean Caelen in May 1895 in the caves (Gemeentegrot) of Valkenburg. He and collaborators also made others, including Plioplatecarpus, Hainosaurus, and murals of Mosasaurus.
I remember the concept art for this mod was one of the most powerful influences on my art and science if aesthetics when I was coming out of high school. Never played it but it looms large in my mind
NEOTOKYO° was released in 2009; A Multiplayer Team-Based Tactical Shooter - Developed as a Mod for HL2 Source. Since abandoned post 2014 Steam Release, the official website has been taken offline (all the High Res Map Images with it) I will be archiving all maps here. Thread 🧵

@TheCountofS
and his Walrus-grappler! I'd like to present - my version of his entry, the PORKOFOKO (1/2)
if you see this, post an extrasolar lesser noble and his posthuman entourage (an older piece i love, but cannot find the source file for the life of me)
Another animation-meeting-drawing from the archives - some sort of sorceror who would provide most of the costume for Lord Peka, a barely-present side character from the book GRIZ GROBUS...
This month on the upper levels of the patreon is the beginning a rather disturbing lil feature called “Men of Earth” - an all-human ecology of the far future. Not too dissimilar to the Dougal Dixon classics like “Man After Man” and the like!
When I reached out to
@simonroyart
to commission a new poster for Chapo, I said I was thinking of something influenced by either "Dune" or "Stalker", as if I could have chosen one when I saw his sketches for both ideas. Had to double down. Should be available for purchase soon.
Honestly I am shook by seeing this pressure suit- I designed one that is almost exactly the same for habitat, and while I clearly saw the griffon at some point, I have no memory of it
