The Ancient Scarab (Postcard)

Digital painting of an ancient scarab reflecting sunlight upon a cavern's sand. This piece was done with color-blocking techniques in order to capture the unique colors & textures of crevice rock. Scarabs—often inlaid with emeralds or malachite—symbolized rebirth, regrowth, and protection across a variety of cultures.

Hand-drawn, digital painting—4.5 hours of work, nearly 4,000 brush strokes made.
