It’s a bear. Finding the right rendering style for the fur took me a while, but I‘m so happy how it turned out.

It’s one of the patreon stickers for this month and will also be a print later.

digital drawing in procreate. A grizzly bear sitting and holding a branch with blueberries. He looks happy. Around him are more blueberries plants and a few birch trees. Two crows are sitting on either side on a tree. One has a berry in its beak another one squints at the blueberry branch.

Celeste dos Cravos (2025), acrylic gouache (+ tiny bit of watercolour) on hot pressed paper (A3)

The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)
Illustration by Eleonor Piteira featuring a woman on a balcony, holding a bouquet of red carnations, giving one of them to a soldier passing below, placing it on the muzzle of his gun while he looks up at her. All around, other soldiers walk beside him, some wearing red carnations on the muzzles of their guns too, others waiting for their turn to get one. On the background, Portuguese tiles frame the woman, while the balcony's railing slowly transforms into a streetlamp typical of Lisbon (with a caravel and 2 ravens, the symbols of the city).

Yesterday we had a special #MonkeyCruise stream in honor of Jane Goodall! Her contributions to primatology and our understanding of animal intelligence changed the worldview of whole generations and her caring and critical voice will be missed.

“Non-functional,” oil on wood panel.
This is the last of the paintings I worked on this summer. It felt nice to let social media take a back seat for a while so I could focus on art without any added pressure.

Trying to be more active here again. So starting my comeback with a short story in the form of a news feature from an alternative universe - one where the Pleistocene megafauna of mammoths, sabre-toothed cats, giant wombats and so much more survived to today petemrcooper.substack.com/p/the-last-b...
The Last Behemoths
They have survived humanity against all odds for millenia. But in an age of extinction, is hope now beyond reason for the charismatic megafauna of planet Earth?

Moa Remains
Digital Drawing. A depiction of an upland moa (Megalapteryx didinus) based on the type specimen. The head and right foot are represented as mummified remains while the rest of the body is drawn more like a life appearance, in the style of a monochromatic sketch.

what if it's not me?
Digital painting of a shiny black horse in a foggy twilight field, his head down to view his own reflection in a pool of water. In the pool, he is depicted standing in a field of golden barley, distorted and rippled. The plough constellation shines above him.

Making some fresh models to sharpen my 3D skills, and what better subject to do that than our lovely brazilian Pleistocene megafauna?
