I don't know why, but I got Pokémon-vibes from some of those illustrations. What phenomenal work!

- huehehue 4y agoMy first thought was that this person would be an excellent consultant for some arthropod-based game or film (Arthropods Attack?) I wonder how common it is for folks to try to understand some new field in order to build something vs. the other way around vs. just outsourcing that expertise.

- musicale 4y agoThese are really charming illustrations! It's enough to make you want to have a pet arthropod, or a Pokémon game based on real creatures. Aren't insects such as beetles somewhat popular pets in Japan, and wasn't catching and collecting a major inspiration for the Pokémon games? (Not to mention the bug catching minigame in Animal Crossing?) They're kind of underappreciated in the US, which is too bad.
