Dougalis Wildlifeart-Life studies-Portraits

Attached this time, various images of Passenger pigeons, Ivory billed woopeckers, and of Thylacines(Tasmanian tigers) I did in the recent past.There are few studies of suffed animals/ birds included, which helped me to understand the species better. I became aware of Extinct species in the past already, but never tried to create any reconstructions since I didn`t have enough informations. Now I feel it`s about time to make more of these in the future

This time b/w illustrations of birds  I did lately for a Natural park station at the German north sea coast. Here is a link, I`m afraid only in German:  https://www.schutzstation-wattenmeer.de/ Common snipe Greylag goose Grey heron Red breasted merganser Great crested Grebe display White taild sea eagle

 Attached my latest contribution to the forthcoming European bird atlas.

Just got two new books published by KOSMOS Verlag and illustrated by me, one about birds and the other about Trees. I must say that my publishers did an excellent job , making this publication very special! It`s always a pleasure to see my work published, having in mind that is going to have a much wider audience..Attached few samples of the illustrations, and here is a direkt Link to the books: https://www.amazon.de/V%C3%B6gel-Zwischen-Himmel-Ulrich-Schmid/dp/3440158705/ref=pd_sbs_14_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1ZF58WCH0FV0MB2GWH3Y   https://www.amazon.de/B%C3%A4ume-Tief-verwurzelt-Andreas-Hase/dp/3440158691/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1521305668&sr=1-2

Since I haven`t the time to go outdoors at the moment,I decided to upload some of my latest  illustration work. In this case, an exciting project, about endangered or even extinct animals, which is going to be published as a book very soon. I`ve been invited to be part of this and feel extremely honoured to be able to provide four images for this unique project as one of more than 50 talented artists from all over the world.
