Two years ago, I was commissioned to produce the majority of the artwork for the board game 'The Search For Lost Species'. There is an insane amount of diversity here. Reading the captions is a must here!

These animals are more common species found around the islands, and these illustrations depict camera trap style images. From left to right, you have the Hills Expert card with Black-capped lories (Lorius lory), the Mangrove Expert card with a reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus), and the Rainforest Expert card with a cuscus, most likely a Common Spotted (Spilocus maculatus) (sorry, it's been a while and I don't fully remember).

Man, I learned a crapload with this commission, and it really pushed me to be better under a tight deadline! I am so grateful to the art director Anita Osburn for trusting me with so much art for this game, especially on my first ever board game commission.

Take a look at how this art is implemented in the game!! https://www.kickstarter.com/project.....r-lost-species

Also check out the conservation group in partnership with the game, Re:Wild, where they strive to restore lost habitat and preserve vulnerable species and biomes. Here is a link to a list of the top 25 most wanted lost species in the world: https://www.rewild.org/lost-species.....d-lost-species
