🦖 Hi, I'm Ida! 🦣
I'm a concept artist, illustrator, and a 3D modeler, and I work in the entertainment industry. I love depicting prehistoric life, and sometimes dabble in fantasy and fashion history!

I haven’t touched gouache in like, 20 years. They were way more fun to paint with than I remembered, did a little practice round with a portrait of Terva.

My 3D anatomical study of a large male Pteranodon longiceps. The skeleton is a generalised composite as per usual with my models, but is scaled to UNSM 50130 (a very large and almost complete wing)

I've got the go ahead to post concept art I did for the Video Game Prehistoric Kingdom. I helped with the design of their Palaeobotany system. First up are the ferns and trees from the 'Coastal' biome. Check out the Dev Diary below to see some of those plants as in-game models!
