Thanks for sharing it Emily!

I did the illustrations in ArtRage Studio Pro using a Wacom Intuos 3
tablet.  I wrote a series of posts about making the images, being a
freelancing stay at home dad, and more. They can be found here:

Creating my first scientific illustrations for publication was a little
intimidating, considering they were going alongside some incredible insect
photography. Then I stopped worrying and embraced the painty-nature of my
work.
