My first illustration on prehistory (and on the cover)! A landscape from the prehistoric Carboniferous period (360-300 millions years ago), when the world was dominated by immense forests of giant ferns and horsetails. Oxygen levels were extremely high, and the swamps were traveled by enormous insects and amphibians.
Shown here are two giant Meganeura dragonflies (as large as modern hawks) and a huge two-meter long proterogyrinus like amphibian.
I am so grateful to Anika Meyer for allowing me to illustrate the cover of her beautiful magazine Sonah https://sonah-verlag.de/
