Flying Polyp Study

Another concept for the mysterious Flying Polyps from Lovecraft's 'The Shadow Out of Time.' They are quite vaguely described, so the artist has some freedom; the only requirements are no eyes, no wings or other apparent means of flight, and some way of leaving round, five-toed footprints. I gave my polyp a sort of hold-fast base with five suction cups. They are also capable of partial or total invisibility, which I sort of showed here.

Savoia Marchetti Regatta Fish

Update -- never liked the little people I added for scale. So I stole Emilio Ponticelli and his wife (with some extras). He was a character in 'Those Magnificent Men And Their Flying Machines.' He kept buying really dangerous experimental 'aeroplanes.'

Robber Baron Dragonfly

Kinderfisch 2015

I revised an old image today to better fit with the style I've developed. I'm going to unify the faux Victorian nature pictures under a fictitious book title: 'Natura Prodigiosa'. (Bizarre Nature)

Greenhouse Perch

Another fantasy animal... Just how does it get the plants in there? Kinda like a ship in a bottle! Update: Changed plants and added animals. Second update: more room for plants
