With that being said, let us delve into the work of The Siren Lord.
The Contents Of The Interview
The Siren Lord’s passion for marine biology & paleontology was sparked as a child when his mother would bring him to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science to see their terrestrial exhibits, & the gorgeous aquariums. These aquariums were both freshwater & saltwater, & this fascinated the young Siren Lord. This gave him an appreciation for living animal groups, & a fascination with marine life, especially trilobites. Modernly, he is most interested in Bony Fish, Trilobites, & Crustaceans. He has a special appreciation for the evolution of Marine Life, & spends much of his time researching the topic. The Order Trilobita is a major point of interest for him, as he is currently working on a book duo-logy on the subject. His fascination stems from the sheer diversity of the order, & how they have filled practically every biological niche a marine invertebrate can have. Although he doesn’t collect the fossils of Trilobites currently, he wishes to begin collecting them. As a young man, he began his journey in writing when he read fantasy novels from series such as the Narnia Series by CS Lewis, & J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Ring novels. This gave him an appreciation for fantasy novels, & would eventually lead to him beginning his own Fantasy Trilogy, the Sage of Mirria. It also led to him beginning his own Web Comic series. His first series of illustrations about trilobites was an experiment, & something he found that he enjoyed. Since then, he has published approximately 48 portraits, & drawn 372 individual trilobites. He enjoys doing both black & white, & colored portraits of them. He has done many portraits of cephalopods as well, with an ongoing series of illustrations about them. His creative process involves physically drawing something in line art, scanning it & adding color digitally. Although he primarily does drawing, he has experimented with oil painting, sculpting, & watercolors. The Siren Lord began his webcomic series on November 24th, 2022. It publishes a new page almost every weekday, & maintains a very consistent schedule. Prior to publishing the first book, he wrote the entire overarching plot, background, & the both of the other books in the trilogy. As of 2024, he is working on his Trilobite Duology. He has already begun working on the first book, & is making steady progress. The first book is to discuss the evolution & biology of the group, as well as their impact on humans. He intends to make the book 300 to 600 pages. The second book will be a field guide about each genus in the Trilobita class, with comprehensive illustrations. As a final note, he wishes to say “If you're an artist always believe in yourself, while others may never believe in you without self-confidence you'll never make it far. Also don't be afraid to practice a lot. I do so.”. For all of those interested in his books, & webcomic, we have attached the links to those below.
