Hello Everyone! This is King Edmarka, but you can call me Tom if you like (or Ed I guess, as reference to my DA name).
My artwork and interests fall into several categories, as shown by my galleries:
1. Paleoart: This is my main interest and art subject. Depictions of Prehistoric life of all kinds, from the Pre-Cambrian to the Pleistocene.
2. Exobiology and other Speculative Evolution: The depiction of fictional lifeforms of alternate timelines and/or other planets.
3. Modern Wildlife: The depiction of various animals from the modern day, but also includes recently extinct animals from the Holocene too (such as the Thylacine and Bluebuck).
4. Kaiju: E.G. Giant Monsters. This includes monsters from the Godzilla, Gamera, Pacific Rim, and other universes. Also includes original kaiju created by me, for my series "Chronicles of Cryothys"!
5. Video Games: Depictions of various video game creatures and/or characters. Primarily Monster Hunter artwork.
6. Needles: TBA
7. Other: This includes Cartoon characters, humor, logos, mascots, webcam stuff, etc.
8. King Edmarka's Dragons: Original dragon designs by yours truly.
