Two 3d printed tiktaalik skulls. On the left, smaller, white colored, mouth closed, facing camera. On the right, larger, tan colored, mouth propped open with a stick, facing right-ish. A 3d printed model for demonstrating the cranial kinesis (movement) of a hawk skull, with different parts in different colors. A musk deer (a deer-like animal with large upper fangs) skull, tan colored, facing left. Two 3d printed Lined Earwig designs. The earwig is an insect with a reddish head and thorax, a dark abdomen with pincers on the end, tan legs and a pair of tan stripes down the back. Each earwig has a 1-inch (2.5cm) split ring though the abdomen. The left design is facing upish, the right design is facing down. In between them is a US penny for scale.

It has become a bit of a tradition for me to miss social media portfolio days, so, as usual, here's my contribution one day late.

A green hyena, a grassy gnoll if you will, sitting in a field of green and gold grass, looking peaceful and chill. This is an acrylic painting on wood.

The Worm represents flexibility, adaptability, surprise, determination. Reversed: hunger, greed, traps, unchecked growth. (A sand striker can grow almost 10ft. The spacecraft entering its jaws represents its broad diet and large appetite.) #inktober #invertober2025 #SpacetoberChallenge #OC_tober
A pen on paper drawing of a tarot card named THE WORM and numbered XXII. The open jaws of a sand striker or trapjaw worm are in the center, emerging from the sand. Underneath the sand is a very long sinuous segmented worm. Important fact: the main body of a worm is called its TRUNK. A small Apollo lunar module is entering the jaws. The prompts are written to the right of the card: trunk, sand striker, spacecraft, tarot card.

We can't wait to fully reveal our game very soon – for now, here's a first glance at where you'll be managing your stable from at the start of the game! (Don't worry, you can upgrade to a proper house later on!)

Who wants to move in? 😇

Cropped screenshot of our upcoming game, it shows an orange trailer home in a slightly messy yard, with a rusty old car and horse transporter parked on the side. In the background, you see a small town as well as the sea. Everything is hand-drawn in 2D.

It's #NationalFossilDay here in the USA, so here's a photo of our T. rex brain endocast based on a US national fossil—AMNH 5117. The surprise was to see it on exhibit in Japan at the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum. Feel free to print one of your own: skfb.ly/Mqsq ! 🦖

A skeleton spider with descriptive text around it: If spiders had endoskeletons "Spine" to protect heart "Ribcage" to protect organs but also allow expansion Somehow there's a weird eight-legged pelvis/sternum Hollow bones in chelicerae Yes, spiders have patellas Tarsal claws not a pointy leg

Drawing of a black cat strolling through a colorful early autumn landscape drawing of a black cat with a babushka headscarf stirring a pot of pumpkin soup with a wooden spoon she's holding with her teeth. she's surrounded by labeled pumpkin soup ingredients like garlic, ginger, hot pepper, pumpkin, coconut milk or cream, and garlic bread to serve with the soup.
