In my gallery you can find art ranging from scientific and SF&F illustration to abstract with a smattering of photography and writing in between. Enjoy!

Here are the works I've seen on dA that I found astonishing, something that tends to be not that easy.

In the chapter of things I had no hope of cleaning up ever was this mishap nearly a decade ago when I first tried to set up an account here:  

:iconjesterrysources:

The details are a bit fuzzy now but it seems account activation e-mails weren't as reliable way back when so when I didn't get one in a timely fashion for "drakontes" I used the next best iteration of that name. It turns out however that I could have that e-mail resent and after I did that I had two accounts to my name and little idea of what to do with the earlier attempt as the latter one was already established as my main account.
There was a notion of making it available to someone else but that was rebuffed by the forum community at the time. So with little else to do I decided that should I obtain a camera it would be my photography and writing venue.
So it came to pass and for a year or two things went relatively well in the aspect of making the best of it. However personal reasons waned my interest in photography for a spell and that account was left to languish and became a chore in maintenance. So I decided to vacate it transferring the work I found pertinent to this account.

Recently =jesterry contacted me to take over that old account, which prompted me to do some sleuthing which found out that we don't have the ability anymore to make more than one user account per e-mail address.
I've really been out of it it seems...
Well, long story short there was a mutual agreement for ownership transferal and ~drakontes is now =jesterrysources.
I wish her the best managing that namespace :)

Renato Filipe Vidal Santos
Artist | Hobbyist | Varied
Portugal

I am a skeptically inquiring secular humanist of a materialist and modernist bent with a lapsed Roman Catholic upbringing. Thus, for all intents and purposes, I'm a pragmatic atheist.

I tend to have a life, now in sabbatical as I prepare for job hunting, mainly in the Earth and Life Sciences areas, and, to my chagrin, I am a procrastinator. Hopefully these will be fixed in the next 100 years, though the latter is something I'm working on constantly.

Finally, I am always interested in artistic advice and if you want use my artwork here's the rules. You can also commission me. Tips via Paypal at Dracontes(at)gmail(dot)com are welcome as well.

Indeed I did. Unfortunately things have been rather discombobulated in my life and this probably relating to #Xenobiology-Club it'll have to wait until I've cleared the rest of the clutter here.

Many thanks for you patience and comprehension regarding this.
