Hey there! I’m Emil, a hobby artist who loves the ocean, prehistory, and fantasy. Warm palettes with muted colours are my jam, and a lot of my work focuses on marine life.

Rendered in a rough painterly style, a shortfin mako shark leaps from a calm ocean tail over head, sea foam trailing its body in a loose arc. The shark, looking nearly metallic, is rimmed with orange light as a pale yellow sun hangs in a hazy orange sky and frames its streamlined figure. Drawing of a horseshoe crab rendered in warm browns and cool shadows. It has a smooth horseshoe-shaped carapace with occasional spiked protrusions along subtle ridges of its shell and the edge of its abdomen. Its long tail is angled sharply to the right as if in motion. The background is a pale teal color. Drawing of a coconut octopus. It has a small dark brownish red body with a yellowish siphon and striking white suckers along its wriggling arms. The background is a teal color. A California sea lion rendered in rich brown and orange tones rests upon a rock in teal shore waters below a softly glowing orange sky. Its slender head is raised to look over its back and to the right while a large crest of white sea foam frames its figure.

Some dino flirting ✨ their colors are based on the red-shafted northern flicker
A pair of Struthiomimus flirting and being cute with one another in an open field with large bush-like plants in the background. They face one another, and one seems curious while the other one postures. The colors are shades of pinks, purples, and a hint of red in their wings.

Our cooperative member @ripperoni.com stood up a pronoun labeler after a popular community one shut down.

We have a different long-term solution in mind for our App, but this is a great solution for now!

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023

people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

cormorants at rest (2022)

#art #birds #wildart 🎨🐡
A pair of double-crested cormorant rest on some rocks in the water. The bird in the center looks over its shoulder toward the viewer, its wings spread out to dry, displaying the scale-like feathers across its back. The illustration is rendered in a limited palette of muted teals, creams, and warm browns.

An illustration of a loon biting a white snake in half with an 8 pointed star above its head. The illustration is very high contrast in red, black and white.

Digital painting of a white foal splashing through a stream in a brightly-lit field. Vegetation in the foreground partially shades the scene while the background is dark. An orange square spiral is in the centre of the frame, overlapping the foal's body.
