I will post an extinct animal every day until the 24th!

Day 1: Velociraptor

Chomp chomp! This guy was actually as small as a housecat.

Day 8: Inostrancevia

It's such a shame that it will be 251 million years before this gorgonopsid can try to fit through a narrow doorway and not realize the bone can't go with them (bonk)

Day 7: Psittacosaurus

Say you're on your daily jog through the forest and then this jumps out at you, like so!

Small etiquette notes on correcting my artwork:

Ask before correcting stuff please!

I might not correct the art directly in the post itself, but may update it behind the scenes for future use

Some stuff is stylized/won't be corrected

You may share similar animals on my art; credit your sources

Day 6: Dickinsonia

Nobody:

Absolutely no one:

The Ediacaran: Flesh plants. Flesh plants! Great wobbling frisbee beasts! Flesh plants—

Day 5: Borealopelta

I went speculative on the ‘red’ coloration of this extremely well-preserved fossil, and I have little information on the fossilized Cretaceous flower I found other than it sort of looked like a tulip?

Day 4: Rhamphorynchus

The beaks on these guys make me so uncomfortable!… so of course I drew it

Day 3: Kentrosaurus

Gave nighttime coloring a stab for this big critter — otherwise I am going to end up with a lot of green jungle-dwellers in this set

Day 2: Diplocaulus

One of my personal favorites! I love this guy’s head. If he existed I would have to make friends with someone who owned one so I could look at it every day.

Why would a fish god be in a volcano?

This Dunkleosteus was consumed by an abyssal vent over 350 million years ago...Before the volcanic island breached the ocean's surface! It is the oldest god in the volcanic pantheon from my game about extinction.

So far my 2D rigging workflow is like:

1. Attach physics constraints ASAP
2. Wiggle the bone chains around!!! WHEEE

3. ...Deep regrets
4. Remove physics constraints ASAP

Do any other game artists prefer designing backgrounds and settings to characters?

I'm really happy with how my game's tropical islands turned out. (If only all my characters were islands, too!)

Playing card designs for my roulette game about recently-extinct animals on a volcano! Numbers indicate how far you can move

1 - Wiggle like Hallucigenia
2 - Crawl like Tiktaalik
3 - Leap like Archeopteryx
M - Enlist the "help" of monkeys

Behold! One of the four ancient gods residing in the volcano-themed game I am making:

Quetzalcoatlus northropi

This god is the most aggressive member of the volcanic pantheon, so watch out :)

My first attempt at a ambiently-animated illustration! With a few more tweaks, this is going to be my volcano game's title screen background.

Spent an evening working through a new Amphiox script, titled 'Idolon' for now because that's the second of like three very weird concepts that the reader needs to understand in order for the plot to work

The first concept was 'what is an amphiox' so that story was called... amphiox

Sure. You can have a little boiling lava dropped from the sky, as a treat

I adore how sprite texture packaging looks and this one's giving me so much Halloween energy
