Look at what arrived yesterday!

I'm loving it. It's not only packed with information but the plates work so well for me!

It's silly, but the way art plates are rendered have an outsize influence on how much I can get from them. This style hits the sweet spot for me. Not too shaded, not too outlined, enough depth to make out what you're looking at, no random lines trying to prettify it. I think he starts from bones, so we're on the same wavelength!

Hello Mastodon! Here's a first project: a series of illustrations for #Tolkien et les sciences, published by Belin 🧝‍♀️ 📕 ⚔️

Classification of dragons, phylogenetic tree of humanoid species in Middle-earth, comparative anatomy of elephants and oliphants... In short, scientific illustrations like no other! 😁
