That person is not helping…

I believe #AltText4Me works on all social media — using this tag lets volunteers know it’s okay for them to write a descriptive response for your post

Sometimes people who need alt text will also (politely!) request it via that tag, and a volunteer may interact that way

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)

#ArtAdventCalendar #paleoart #art #digitalart #SciArt #gorgonopsid #permian #animal #science #dogs
Digital cel-shaded art of a gorgonopsid, inostrancevia, one of the Late Permian reptilian mammals (or perhaps mammalian reptile). This animal most closely resembles a pit bull’s musculature crossed with a monitor lizard’s splayed legs. It is colored with big brown patches on yellow, orange, and green lizard-like scales, inspired slightly by komodo dragons but more bright and saturated. It’s very freckled and speckled all over with its patches of color migrating into each other. It sits in a pose reminiscent of how dogs sit when they don’t care about being noble: Leaning to one side, legs akimbo, tongue dangling out. It parked its silly butt on an isometric chunk of sea-green limestone. The gorgonopsid has a giant head compared to dogs, proportionally, and in its mouth is the thick femur bone of a dicynodont.

Day 7: Psittacosaurus

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

#ArtAdventCalendar #Art #DigitalArt #dinosaur #paleoart #SciArt #paleontology
Digital cel-shaded art of a leaping psittacosaurus, a bipedal precursor to triceratops. It is largely orange-brown with white countershading on its underside. The dinosaur has small stripes and spots marking the gradiation between its dark side and its light side. It’s jumping over a log and a bush set in some sun-dappled woods in the deep past. Worms inch inside of an isometric square of dirt that grounds the whole scene. Watermark: http://hmcgill.art

What's the most niche critter you've drawn that someone has recognized, apropos of nothing? Is it this one?

Day 6: Dickinsonia

Nobody:

Absolutely no one:

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

#ArtAdventCalendar #art #digitalart #paleoart #SciArt #dickinsonia #charnia #geology #science #paleontology
Digital cel-shaded art of a wibbly wobbly Dickinsonia, a weird wobbly lifeform from before the Cambrian era. It looks like a floppy frisbee with bilateral lines sectioning its body into many gelatinous ribs. It lives underwater surrounded by fleshy ‘plants’, including orange charnia with spots and neon green hylaecullulus. Since I’ve interpreted Dickinsonia as a transparent creature, the other life forms can be fuzzily seen through its body. This little scene is set on an isometric square chunk of sandy seafloor.

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?

#dinosaur #art #ArtAdventCalendar #digitalart #paleoart #SciArt
Digital cel-shaded art of a Borealopelta, an ankylosaurus most well known for being ‘mummified’ in stone. The dinosaur sits in an isometric, square chunk of sunlit meadow, surrounded by purple tulip-like flowers stretching upwards. The borealpelta is largely peach-colored with neon pink knobs lining its armored shell. It barely fits on the chunk of earth. Its long tail, which lacks the typical ‘knob’ associated with ankylosaurs, curls around the resting spot from behind. Watermark: http://hmcgill.art

Day 4: Rhamphorynchus

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

#ArtAdventCalendar #paleoart #SciArt #pterosaur #digitalart #art
Digital cel-shaded art of a rhamphorynchus, a small shore-dwelling pterosaur known for its bent beak and mouth full of sharp teeth. It has two membranous wings attached to its long pinkie finger and a narrow tail that ends in a spade shape. The pterosaur was colored with inspiration from a red-footed booby, and features a blue and magenta beak to accent its largely yellowish/grayish body. The pterosaur dips its toe into a bit of tropical ocean water, which is contained inside of a stylized ‘cube’ of the animal’s environment. Watermark on the image: http://hmcgill.art

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

#ArtAdventCalendar #art #digitalart #paleoart #dinosaur #SciArt #paleontology #stegosaurus
Digital cel-shaded art of a kentrosaurus, a stegosaur notable for two big spikes poking out of its shoulders. The kentrosaurus browses an ancient African jungle at night under the light of a crescent moon. It leans against a cycad while perched on an isometric, square chunk of forest earth with trailing roots. Everything is painted with stylized blue and teal tones. The moonlight catches briefly on the kentrosaurus’s spines. Watermark on the image: http://hmcgill.art
