🪡🧵Portfolio post🦖🐟

I'm a natural history artist who specialises in designing and hand-making realistic plushies of animals!

I focus on under-represented species, using palaeoartistic techniques to reconstruct extinct creatures.

My work can be found on my website: www.palaeoplushies.com
A realistic plush anurognathus- a species of small pterosaur. It has brown fur and striking green-orange wing membranes. Shiny dark eyes look soulfully at the camera. A realistic plush Oyster Toadfish. This fish is a mottled brown which would blend in well with it's environment. It has a fringe around it's face to break up the outline, and shining gold eyes. It looks rather grumpy. A realistic plush depiction of a blue Neocaridina shrimp. This plush looks like it is made of transparent segments, but it is actually a digitally painted pattern printed onto soft velvet fabric. It has beady eyes and cord antennae. A realistic depiction of a baby Diplodocus dinosaur. The colouration is a striped brown and deep orange. It has scales along it's tail, which is visible because the plush looks away from the camera.

So I've been busy finishing a bunch of FISHMAS decorations! I've put together some sets of four and sevens.

If you'd like to hang a bunch of tetras from your fishmas tree this winter, you can find them over here: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/fishmas
Realistic plush decoration tetras made from hand-painted printed fabric, they hang from red cord with blue, silver, gold and red beads decorating the lower end.

Very happy that I decided to try a Huion tablet and Clip Studio Paint.

Your lab isn't a home until you've hung up your prized Tiktaalik. My Live, Laugh, Love wall decals gotta be in a box somewhere.

I've been working on a Spotted Eagle Ray pattern. Their shape is surprisingly hard to get right.

I have two listed on my website, they are made of super soft minky and are weighted with plastic beans.
www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/eagle-ray
A realistic plush eagle ray. It's top half is brown with white dots and circle patterns on the "wings". It has a long tail with stripes, as well as a pointy nose. The underside of the eagle ray. It has a lighter belly with ocellated patterns around the tips of the wings. It has a mouth that looks like a 3 and is very cute.

A whole shoal of goldfish have made their way over to www.palaeoplushies.com

These cute carp won't grow too big for your cuddles, and unlike the real thing they don't need a pond (or a real big tank) to be happy.
A selection of realistic plush goldfish- yellow, orange, white and colours in-between. Some have short fins, some have long fins. They all have hand-painted (digital) artwork, with each scale individually shaded. Don't ask how long it took.

These male smooth newts are in their breeding colours! Is it the right time of year? No! But they're plushies so it doesn't matter.

For sale here: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/lissotr...

The artwork for these were painted traditionally using watercolours and ink pen.
A photograph of a realistic plush Smooth newt. The fabric is printed with a design originally created with watercolours and inks, giving it an "illustrated" appearance. It has glassy gold eyes. The newt plushie's bright orange dotty belly is displayed for the world to see.

Gonna be listing a bunch of newts, goldfish and a few eagle rays today.

I had planned on being a lot more productive this past few weeks but I've been knocked out by The Bug (a lingering bad cold) so instead I've been playing minecraft.

I wish self employed people got sick pay.

Wildlife cameraman (and Strictly legend!) Hamza Yassin was at Loch Arkaig Pine Forest earlier in the year in a bid to film elusive wild boar.

We were sworn to secrecy, but the series, Hamza's Hidden Wild Isles has now dropped on BBC iPlayer. 👉 buff.ly/otiLKL8

I thought it would be fun to plan a model railroad layout, even though I can't build it for budget, time and space reasons.

New locomotives and wagons are in the 50-150-500 euro range, but more affordable second hand. It's probably a bit like the 40K market: stuff bought, barely used, then sold.
