The Arthropod Herbarium
A little passion project that's been arching over the last two and a half years. I love every creature under the Sun, and I especially have a sweet spot for the Arthropoda phylum.
Some of them have characteristics that made them a perfect match with certain plants, and thus these little hybrid creatures came to life.Made with Procreate.

About
I'm a Hungarian artist with a bachelor's in bioengineering and a master's in medical biotechnology. It comes as no surprise that my art is centered around nature - I love real and fantasy critters, and everything in between. I've been obsessed with plants since I was a child, when I wasn't conducting "experiments" on grass and dead leaves I was drawing, and I strive to bring these two disciplines closer to each other through my work.My style features a lot of crosshatching, I love giving strong textures to my work, and even my digital drawings have a traditional feel to them.I would love to work on scientific illustrations that help bridge the gap between hard science and the everyday people.
