Serbian artist Vladimir Stankovic has created some new species in these animated illustrations in scientific style. His Cephalopodoptera series blends Octopus, squid, moths and beetles into fantasy creatures. Nice GIFs.

I love the images, but the blinking parts are a bit annoying after a while. Beautiful artwork, though.

Hmmm. I get that, really. But I love the fact that fun artwork like these can now be populated by working GIFs.

Awesome! I really like looking at bugs. I know, I’m weird like that. But these are so fanciful and like others said – the GIFs really add to the images without making them gaudy or kitchy.
