ArtistHybrid 50% animal 50%: sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) x bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) 16:9 biology zentangle illustration filling the entire image width of a fully fused hybrid blooming sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) crossed with bee hummingbirds (Mellisuga helenae). Each hybrid creature has dozens of iridescent, blue-violet blossoms, which are identical in shape to bee hummingbirds. A hummingbird beak protrudes outward from the middle of each hybrid flower, and the feathered petals are simultaneously hummingbird wings and tails. The hummingbird flowers are arranged densely along the purple-and-pink sweet pea vine. The vine is climbing and twisting on a white wrought-iron trellis among abundant leafwork, with lush green leaves and swirling, curling tendrils. Leaves and vegetation in rich shades of green from light yellow-green to dark forest green are interspersed between the flowers, and are arranged in very tiny, intense, rhythmical, swirling zendoodle shapes. The stunning iridescent, rainbow-scintillating feathers of the hybrid sweet pea flowers are finely detailed and breathtakingly beautiful. The hybrids are harmless, adorable biological oddities portrayed in painstaking detail in a carefully executed, repetitive, ultradecorative zentangle mandala patterns with clean lines and myriads of very tiny elements. At the edge of the full-width illustration, the patterns exhibit an intensely detailed, ornate style like that of popular contemporary zendoodle artists. The layered elements and varied textures give the image a sense of depth and translate nature’s creative beauty into a zendoodle style.
This was almost impossible to make. I tried nearly all models, several times. A very energy-intensive dream. I hope you like it.
