A scene I did of Miocene Amazonia for a commission: an early Iniid River dolphin catches a frog right before a greedy arapaima does while Stirtonia-like monkeys hoop and holler at the commotion! Pretty interesting concept I must say. 🇧🇷

Another great commission! Here’s a dodo at a zoo in an alternate timeline somewhere in the USA 🇺🇸. I can’t think of a good name for a dodo, so leave one in the comments!
