(no subject)

I thought about splitting this into two posts and then decided against it.

This Inktober I'm focusing largely on finishing all the inks for both the Iconics and Unusuals Expansive Animal Oracle decks. I've actually finished all the inking for the Iconics deck, and now it's just the Unusuals deck, which has been the most confounding, because obviously there are a ton of unusual animals I'd love to introduce people to and just can't (the one proviso is that they can't be Critically Endangered, because they're being saved for the Rarities deck).

This proviso was the biggest issue for the Iconics deck, because so many of our iconic animals are Critically Endangered. When it came to tigers, I had to look for ones that were 'just' Endangered, and even that wasn't easy.

The Woolly Bear has been one of the more interesting ones to ink, it was the most fussy and particular animal teacher energy I've come across in some time.

I have ten more illustrations to go. :)


Narwhal // Monodon monoceros











Southern Marsupial Mole // Notoryctes typhlops











Common Eastern Firefly // Photinus pyralis












Bengal Tiger // Panthera tigris tigris











Arctic Woolly Bear Moth // Gynaephora groenlandica
