Heya..so seeing that Freelance work is getting unstable and I can't rely solely on Youtube Revenue, I'm giving Patreon a shot!

Alt: Preview of the full video showing several different crinoids (sea lilies, echninoderms that resemble an underwater flower but with feathery arms instead of petals) with Platyceratid snails on them (extinct snails that have coiled or loosely coiled shells, that attach on the crinoids)

Eucalyptocrinites makes a return appearance in the next video
#SciArt #Crinoid #paleoart

Eucalyptocrinites, a Silurian crinoid with a peculiar Calyx ("head") that's shaped like the part of an orange press that you press the oranges to, where their arms can perfectly fit into the grooves

First snail has hopped onto the crinoid

Closeup of a Platyceras snail with a loosely coiled shell like the top of a witch's hat, attached to a Macrocrinus calyx, a sea lily with a round central cup that ends in a long tapering tube at the top, and with feathery arms radiating out of the cup

Evil boyband, 3D render screenshot of different types of platyceras snails, some coiled, some straight shelled or slightly curved or spiny

Each snail sits atop a bumpy orb since I was testing the body and shell deformation to fit the contour of the orb

Rotating the blorbo

Kiabugboy @kiabugboy.bsky.social · Aug 29

Oh no.... that's a lot of blorbos..

Pdf of a scanned old book depicting platyceratid snails, here with cashew like shells with bumpy surfaces

Pdf of a scanned old book depicting platyceratid snails, some coiled, some curved like a hook, and some twisted into a spiral

Pdf of a scanned old book depicting platyceratid snails, here wjth a more orthoconic straight shell that superficially looks like a sharp tooth

Pdf of a scanned old book depicting platyceratid snails, here showing some with a lot of twisting, like an old tree trunk twisting and tapering upwards

Time to model the blorbo

3D model of a platyceratid snails, the shell is loosely coiled kinda like a wizard hat

Ah yep! Gilbert! But I didn't know they have those bottom spikes. And it was hard trying to find fossils with the arms preserved

Kiabugboy @kiabugboy.bsky.social · Jul 27

I'm working on a video about platyceras and crinoids, so I needed to model some spiny ones as an example of possible adaptations against the snails

Man.. I miss my clay endoceras
(It broke in the luggage when I had to return to Indonesia)

Clay sculpture of endoceras, a straight shelled nautiloid with a shell like a unicorn horn, and cephalopod body
