lol welp, Three Gorgonopsid Moon everyone! (mostly gorgonops torvus :) ) #sciart #coprolitepost #meme shirt available here jbh.threadless.com/designs/thre...
Been a minute since I've painted digitally! Krita isnt half bad :) Fun detour :) #permian #digitalart #krita
Three gorgonopsids howl (?) at the night sky and the moon, inspired by the famous Three Wolf Moon shirt. The gorgons are in rougly the same positions and colorways as the original shirt, with a white/arctic color morph on top. a amber colored morph in the middle and a melanistic one on the bottom. The background is a gassy nebula or clouds, take your pick lol.

Two baby T.Rex figures that look like fluffy chicks. They are colored like gingerbread cookies and sit on a blanket of snow with gingerbread trees in the background.

Spent days trying to find the old Tet Zoo diprotodontian phylogeny articles. Intact versions completely missing from the Internet, and somehow missing from my files too. I'll republish if I ever find them again. Relevant because of ... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/11...

i ask and @literallymiguel.bsky.social provides
the same meme format as below with the "two of them" cats, except it's nanotyrannus lancensis and nanotyrannus lethaeus, distinguished by subtly different cranial ornamention; one's lacriminal protuberances are orangey, whereas the other's are bluey

i think megaloceros takes home the photorealism award in #prehistoricplaneticeage 🦌 something about its imperfect, slightly scruffy coat texture just makes it look so real

happy #fossilfriday! this is euthecodon, a long-snouted crocodile that lived between the miocene and pleistocene of africa. despite a gharial-like appearance, euthecodon was a true crocodile aka a member of crocodylidae
(art by joschua knuppe)
the longirostrine crocodile euthecodon lunges out of the water to catch a flamingo in mid-air. given that the flamingo has been snatched around where the neck connects to the skull, it is assuredly very very dead a photograph of two large euthecodon skulls

[P] Mother Nature
Digital illustration by Arukanoda. The drawing depicts a scene of a four legged animal with golden horns and swirl-like patterns on the body watching the viewer while standing among a completely untamed flora environment. Small glowing butterflies lead the viewer to the otherworldly animal, who has some connection to the place it resides in given the shape of the leaves. A piece dedicated to my Arvani species showing their god figure, Mederiah.

Still a couple places to touch up but, this is the most accurate representation I’ve been able to get to of Arctops Umulunshi yet :)
Arctops print from the side, looks like it’s about to swallow my shed Say AAAAAHHHH, arctops from the front, slightly angled Note those pallet teeth and the three upper postcanines, bottom jaw has no postcanines which is fairly common in larger gorgons Parietal eye shot, I’m a fan of my pal Ghost Dive’s take that this eye is excellent at making sure so overhead passing snacks go unnoticed, much like my dog when we open a bag of cheesy poofs

trying a new artstyle for Deadlands, its a bit experimental but i like it honestly
Basilisks, they're big and gnarly. They use their plated jaws to crush bones and feed on carrion like hyenas.

The real “Dolores”? I was recently commissioned to create a pencil sketch of Aquilops - a dinosaur which I’d never really paid proper attention to. In the l course of my research I became a bit obsessed and felt compelled to also create this more detailed illustration as a personal project.
#SciArt
A digital portrait of Aquilops americanue - a small herbivorous dinosaur, related to triceratops. It has a small boney frill behind its head, with tiny quills sprouting from it. Its beaked jaws have a distinctive spike jutting forward, which may have been used to forage for food.
