Have you even seen the book? ... The style of your illustrations is very different. Nothing like the original ... Why don't you ask me some questions about the aesthetic I'm looking for that will help you narrow it down quickly? ... I think the main difference is that the Codex is pen and watercolor

Pen and watercolor illustration in the style of Codex Seraphinianus depicting an otherworldly garden. Trees with transparent leaves showcase intricate veins. Glowing orbs hang from branches, and ribbon-tailed birds fly amidst the scene. A central pond features multi-eyed fish with delicate, fern-like fins. The horizon is graced by a fractal-shaped setting sun.
Pen and watercolor artwork mimicking Codex Seraphinianus, portraying a dense, fantastical forest. Unique creatures roam, including a six-legged giraffe with a spiral horn and a lion-bodied creature with butterfly wings. Luminescent flowers add to the forest's ethereal glow.
Pen and watercolor drawing capturing the essence of Codex Seraphinianus, illustrating a surreal city. Crystalline structures serve as buildings, with streets made of flowing water. Winged boats float by, and the sky above is adorned with floating land masses and enormous, translucent jellyfish-like beings.
Pen and watercolor art in the vein of Codex Seraphinianus showcasing an enchanting library. Books defy gravity, autonomously flipping pages. Readers, on floating chairs, connect to these books using tendrils. An ornate, backward-ticking clock stands prominently in the background, with multi-limbed librarian creatures overseeing the ambiance.

Ok, update: the Codex is actually colored-pencil. And there are often lots of small multiples and lots of whitespace. But not exclusively.

Colored-pencil illustration reminiscent of Codex Seraphinianus presenting an ethereal garden. Trees with delicate, transparent leaves are placed with ample whitespace between them. Tiny glowing orbs, birds with ribbon tails, and small fish in a pond are depicted in multiples, scattered across the canvas, creating a sense of depth and space.

Spaced out, multiple small creatures, such as the six-legged giraffe and the lion-bodied butterfly-winged entity, are positioned throughout. Tiny luminescent flowers, appearing in clusters, provide contrast and balance to the whitespace.
Colored-pencil artwork inspired by Codex Seraphinianus of a dreamlike city. Buildings, made of crystalline structures, are interspersed with generous whitespace. Streets of water are dotted with tiny winged boats, and the sky features floating land formations and jellyfish beings, all rendered in a detailed yet spaced-out manner.
Colored-pencil illustration echoing Codex Seraphinianus, portraying a whimsical library. Books, floating and flipping autonomously, are drawn in multiples but spaced apart. Readers on levitating chairs, librarian creatures, and an ornate clock are dispersed with an emphasis on whitespace, providing a balanced and airy composition.
