Once every ten years, before the red flowers of the Rutilus Tree fully bloom, the Blossoming Dissimulic will come out of its nest inside the tree to feed. The bright red hairs on its antlers resemble Rutilus flowers and attract a huge array of little critters from the forest. This one week of feeding will sustain the Dissimulic as it hibernates until the next Rutilus blossom.
--------------------------------------------------------- This painting was done for the cover of ImagineFX 72. The whole issue is on creatures so I was more than excited to do the cover! I also added an hour long tutorial of the making of the cover. It's on the dvd that comes with the magazine. Big thanks goes out to Claire & Paul for being such a joy to work with. Look for it in your local bookstore or buy the issue HERE
We'll also have a few prints of "Early Bloom" at San Diego Comicon.
I love the creatures you guys create... truly inspiring at every turn. I'm sure I'm not the only one to have fallen in love with your work due tot he Big Bad Bunny Eater but you've made a fan of me for a long time. Keep up the great work guys!

Don't do what you can't undo until you've considered what you can't do once you've done it.
