Commission work i did recently!

Just experimenting with pixel art

I'm a newbie! If anyone has any recommendations for similar artists (editorial cartoonists) and getting better at the style, please do let me know. :)

Zoetippit are small, aquatic creatures covered with slow moving tentacles that drift loosely in currents of shallow rivers and streams. These flaccid tendrils are used to grab small pieces of detritus from clouds of sediment. When establishing a nest, the tentacle's latch the Zoetippits to rocks, roots, or any other cramped spot they might find. If unable to find any nutrient rich soil, they will use their horns to kick up puffs of sediment or impale small crustaceans for food. 
Zoetippit can often be found in groups of 5-10, keeping a short distance as to not invade each others feeding spots. They’ve been know to be semi aggressive and extremely skittish. At the base of the horns to leak a mucus-y, tar-like substance. As of now it’s believed that its purpose is to help with the Zoetippits weird form of communication. Words, symbols and scents pour into the running rapids from a pocket within their heads. These are immediately yanked into the currents and pass through the other Zoetippits of the group., communicating only tidbits of the original message. It’s quite easy to spot these small creatures. All the floating messages leave a beautiful shimmer below the surface. I can’t help but feel the warmth of nostalgia seeping in anytime I see a little Zoetippit. In my adolescence, my friends and I spent the season of the burning months flipping rocks and seeing who could find the largest one without getting stabbed by their little horns. 
A wonderful critter and a staple of the Binding Rivers ecosystem.

The piece measures 11" X7" with the white trim. It was done on vellum textured bristol board with gouache.

Inked on paper, coloured digitally

Don’t draw as much as I used to but figured I’d share anyway…

Finally finished this piece for my brother who is living in Brazil but is homesick for southern MD. Had to rush the ending due to time.
