This time of year I always find a few dead cicadas outside my building at work. I'm pretty happy with the linework here, now I need to color it in!!

This crazy "yeti crab" lives around boiling hot deep-sea hydrothermal vents.

Since I have access to super-fine pens and a microscope, I thought I'd see what it's like to make an extra-tiny rock illustration. Answer: it's fun!

I was going to fill in the background with pale green or blue, but was advised that it kind of looks like sand if I leave it natural. This is the first one (of four total) where I feel like I used the 3d shape of the stone and not just the "top" flat surface.

I'm mostly using marker and fine-liner pens for these.

Possum and Dungeness crab.

I'm using a mix of different pens and markers, some of them seem to be dissolving the others. Much to learn!
