#Spec-Evo #Specbio Here’s 3 of my projects featured here:

• Monster Hunter Isles, headcanon world of MonHun plus fangame

• Glavecosmia, parallel earth “
soft” spec

• Cladochrone Eons, alt seed world full of life descended strictly from Paleozoic and early Mesozoic life

Old rough head bust of an Aptonoth relative featured in the fangame side of Monster Hunter Isles.

Square head, robust hard beak, with a nasal horn protruding above the nares. Adorned with a axe like frill behind the head, mainly a display feature.

A smaller species of omnivorous pigbrush known as the Bogflock (𝖮𝗇𝗒𝖼𝗁𝗈𝖻𝖺𝗌𝗎𝗋𝖺 𝗇𝖺𝗎𝗌𝗂𝖺𝖿𝗅𝖺𝗍𝗎𝗌). A bipedal m, filamentous beaked reptilian creature with a fuzzy/brushy tail with some adorned specialized spines on the back. A brightly colored crest similar to looking at an eclipse, having huge strong claws & lean yet muscular hindlimbs. Best known for having a chemical spray & flatulence that’s primarily made of napalm.

The Calloused Beast (no binomials yet), a large highly territorial mammal native to the badlands of Cladochrone. Pictured is the average cow (foreground) & bull (background) of the species.

Fish of the genus Brycon are found in freshwater habitats in much of the known world, though are at their most abundant and diverse in the Seridic Wetlands. They are omnivores, primarily eating vegetation with a range of small fish and invertebrates.

Some mammals of the Seridic wetlands:

A sparassodont, a coati, an armadillo, a hydrochoerine, and a mylodont sloth.

Sad news: the kakapo population is down to 237 after a female bird called Solstice died of an infection.

According to the Kakapo Recovery Facebook page, she had
• 8 clutches
• 24 eggs laid
• 13 fertile eggs
• 6 chicks hatched
• 4 living offspring
• 27 descendants

Illustration of a kakapo - a large, moss-green flightless parrot with an owl-like face - sitting on a person's arm with just the arm visible. It has a circular framing depicting little scribbles of ferns and conifer branches. Behind it is a light brown background with pale lineart of mossy tree trunks and branches of New Zealand's forests.

Quick sketches of a concept I just had for my personal spec-evo project, a Kerguelen “Panther” that’s actually a cat-convergent Tritylodont. It’d be one of the apex predators of the Kerguelen landmass during the Holocene, sometimes attacking adult “dragons”. All of this is a long-term WIP. #specevo

Three rough black-and-white pencil sketches on lined paper. The top one is a skull of a fictional, big-cat-convergent Tritylodont in side-view. It has two large upper incisors that sit on either side of two large lower incisors, and huge, blade-like rear teeth. The sketch below it is a life drawing of the Tritylodont in side view, it looks lot like a nondescript big cat. The sketch below that is of a dead individual between two stick-figure humans, one holding its head up and holding a gun in the other hand, and the other human holding up its tail.

A rough black-and-white pencil sketch on lined paper, showing a Kerguelen panther mid-leap and latched onto the neck of a larger, dragon-like Thyreophoran, which is rearing up in furious shock.

Let me attempt to articulate something. As a former participant in the "teenage nerds talk about dinosaurs online" scene, I think some of us who follow paleontology as adults or do dinosaur stuff professionally care too much about the specifics of what's being discussed there. (cont'd)

Nanotyrannus, apparently! It’s all come full circle.
(Art by Wayne Barlowe)

A slim, wide-eyed gracile tyrannosaur strides across a sandy shore, staring directly at the viewer with its piercing red eyes. In the distance, a flock of birds and a large pteranodontid can be seen. A hazy, yellowish haze fills the scene, creating a strange, surreal quality.

In 1989, a scientist visiting the north of #Madagascar observed a gigantic, wholly black fossa investigating the interior of a tent. This inspired a later study of local knowledge about this animal. What do we know? A new article at Tetrapod Zoology ... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/10...

None of this is specifically connected to #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge, of course, but here are recent articles at Tetrapod Zoology that might be deemed relevant. Firstly, thoughts on the giant, modified armadillos known as glyptodonts (more on them yet to come) tetzoo.com/blog/2025/6/... cont...

Same here but I also can’t deny they’re also good avenues of thinking to explore in similar scenarios. Evolution is never consistent in every detail, you never know what the potential might erupt 😂

Yawning Prognathodon overtoni for friends's Birthday. Prognathodon is a genus with a complex taxonomy. Some of its species have been reclassified as separate genera, while others are the opposite, such as this one, previously known as Brachysaurana. Done in Paint Tool Sai 2.0.

The dwarf Stegodon from Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age might be the most real-looking CGI animal I’ve ever seen. It’s stunning! Everything they’ve shown so far looks incredible, but I keep going back to this specific image. It’s SO good.

A tiny Stegodon reaches for leaves, light shining through the thin, wispy hair covering its purplish grey body.

Without active mountain building the peaks of Lemuria slowly erode into hills. This dry and often times quite chilly habitat is not a good place for reptiles and so mammals dominate these highlands. This piece takes place during late morning on a spring day.

Seeing government websites throwing blame at democrats and trans people for the shutdown is one of the most soul-crushing things I’ve witnessed in American politics. Uninformed people WILL believe it. There are no consequences for lying. I’m suffering from the shutdown, but it’s also my fault.

Another absolutely spectacular entry in David James Armsby’s incredible “Dinosauria” short film series. This might mark the first time Scutellosaurus has a prominent role in a work of dinosaur media, and it makes for a very memorable debut.

My family is one of the many that are going to suffer because of this, and so many people I know are even worse off than we are. It’s evil on a truly colossal scale. There’s simply no justification for it but the suffering is the point. It’s pure, unambiguous evil.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
