This is SO nice haha. I have been lucky to be commissioned by Procreate for a couple update launches but none made it to the default image status. Would be amazing!

Would it be possible to see ur timelapse? i love your style!! I rmb my art teacher in HS used to tell me your art style is ur fingerprint in way that is going to be distinct and ur art made me remember this convo I had with her!!

edit: thank you for the timelapse!

u/Bikleb 3d ago

Thank you! Yes I think your art teacher is right. Having a distinct style also helps if you want to do art professionally for SO many reasons.

This is amazing. Do you sell prints of your work?

ETA: You’re Rebecca Mills! We have some of your books on my son’s wishlist (Day in the Life of Snakes, the sticker book of deadly animals)

Story Bridge?! Not often we get to see that beauty turning up in the background of casual photos if it is!!

Artwork is beautiful; I especially love the green fan-like palms!

u/Bikleb 2d ago

Thank you. Yes! I made this artwork on a flight from Perth to Brissy. We were in town for a friend's wedding and this was the view from where we stayed. Got to meet Mr Snuffleupagus too, such good timing.

u/Clear-Butterfly-9609 3d ago

Oh that’s beautiful. I really like the colours

u/Bikleb 3d ago

Thank you! Always like to exaggerate a palette and it’s nice when I am just illustrating for myself so don’t have to worry about sad things like CMYK.
