I'm super excited about the upcoming board game Nature by NorthStar Games! I've already shown some teasers, but here's the original art for the cover of the Flight expansion set, now in better resolution than what I could show off before.

The cards focus on the birds of Nepal through Vietnam! The bird on the cover art is an Indochinese Green-Magpie, Cissa hypoleuca, an incredibly colorful relative of the crows, jays, and magpies, from Southeast Asia.

October 16, 2024 - Collared Forest-Falcon (Micrastur semitorquatus) Found from central Mexico to southern Brazil and northern Argentina, these falcons live in forests and mangroves. They eat birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and some invertebrates, probably finding their prey by hearing and often running it down on the ground or hunting from perches. Nesting in cavities in large trees, females incubate clutches of two or three eggs while males bring them food.

September 26, 2024 - Bornean Stubtail (Urosphena whiteheadi) These stubtails are found in mountain forests on the island of Borneo. They feed on invertebrates, especially green aphids, usually foraging alone in dense undergrowth and on the ground. Little is known about their breeding behavior, though one of their nests was built in a mossy bank from reddish plant fibers.

Greater Blue-earred Starling

Note sure my style does these guy's shininess justice. Metalic birds from sub-Saharan Africa with bright blue eggs to match. Though, not all the eggs in the nest are always theirs, as this is a target species for brood parasites. Cuckoos and honeyguides actively seek out these birds as parents for their chicks.

Discovered a weird little bird and felt compelled to draw it. It really does look like that.

March 29, 2026 - Dalat Bush Warbler (Locustella idonea) Found only in central Vietnam, these warblers live in thickets and tall grass in clearings and around the edges of forests. Though the details of their diet are unknown, they are thought to feed on insects. Nothing is known about their breeding behavior. They sing their repetitive insect-like songs while hidden in thick vegetation.

May 29, 2021 - Yellow-breasted Fruit-Dove (Ptilinopus occipitalis or Ramphiculus occipitalis)

These fruit doves are found in forests in the Philippines. Their specific diet is unknown, but they probably feed on fruit, like their close relatives. Little is known about their breeding behavior, though they may lay their eggs in February.

This was originally supposed to just be a quick sketch doodle shitpost but then I started thinking about how fucking terrifying a lovebird the size of a car would be. Also tried my hand at intentionally going for dynamic composition. I deleted the sketch layer before I thought of saving it also but you can kinda see what I was aiming at:

I really like the colours you get on magpies, what at first glance looks like a other black and white bird is actually full of these wonderfully iridescent greens and purples

just a really spectacular animal
