Seeing as how I'm stuck time-wise at the moment (with renovations, moving and other issues), I keep forgetting to upload already done renders. Here's Iguanodon bernissartensis for your enjoyment.

EDIT: Reupload because Bluesky wrecked the resolution I have been spending some time lately (amidst moving, renovating and other chaos) to set up a way for me to showcase my 3D models nicely for a portfolio situation. Starting here with Parasaurolophus walkeri! More to come in the near future!

Wasn't planning on this, but here we are. For those of you who followed me on other social media platforms, Cricket might be an OC of mine you recognise. Initially I only wanted to sculpt a bust of her as a little exercise, as usual I am escalating and now have to commit to this. V. mongoliensis

We do a little dogging. percy (2022), commission for ruedi

Just a general plea: if you feel compelled to share hoaxes tomorrow (April 1), PLEASE make sure they are so over-the-top and tongue-in-cheek that the neurodivergents in the audience are clear that you aren't being serious.

Fix Your Hearts Or Die! I'm transgender, I draw dinosaurs for a living, and I'm very tired and very angry. I was hoping to finish this for #TransDayOfVisibility but alas I'm not going to make it. It should be finished in a day or two and then I'll have prints and stickers. #Paleoart #SciArt

Happy trans day of visibility! #tdov

Check this out!!!

Death heron coming along. Thanks to some comments from Lewis Larosa I decided to make the muscle outlines more prominent landmarks and will now lay out basic fold topology for the skin before bulking those up. Also incorporated a bit of the new work by Sharpe et al. 2025 into the mix.

May I present: the new base of operations. @rm-puddlefarmer.bsky.social for scale.

The muscle buildup stage is done and the mesh is unified. Adding layers of subcutaneous fat and fascia/other tissue on top to bulk it up some more. I think next step will be retopology so I have that out of the way before getting into too much detail. PS.: Those meat hooks are no joke, wth

I just spent my birthday with the most amazing people and drunkenly cried on my way home because I don‘t know how I deserve them.

How does Lucas not have more followers yet, can y'all please get over there?

In case anyone was wondering what the guy behind this yellow lizard face looks like. Fancy elevator always calls for a selfie.

Just a bit of a turnaround to pretend I'm @villesinkkonen.bsky.social. This one is shaping up nicely, even if it's taking me quite a while and it just started due to @sketchy-raptor.bsky.social drawing Suchomimus and talking about its ridiculous size.

We have feet, we have claws and I replaced the skull and mandible with slightly stylised versions that are symmetrical.

Every time I am at the NHM Vienna, this gives me agony. 1/3

Behold: a man.

There is something big in the works. And by that I do not just mean this Brachiosaurus altithorax that I'm working on and that is quickly taking shape. :3

Just to prove that I am still alive: Have Godzilla's ancestor, Tiktaazilla. I'm kind of stuck in preparations for moving house/county and loads of things to figure out, but I think of Bluesky fondly and want to come back to posting regularly soon. <3

Since someone with that exact tagline just followed me here: I am NOT a safe space for generative A*I, cry*pto and NF*T bullshit. Get your ass out of here, I don't care. I don't want your following, I don't want your posts, I don't want to have to go to your page and block you. Just leave me alone.

To answer the question whether elephants or sauropods are better. You are welcome. (I do not have favourites and I cannot make a decision, I am bisexual after all. But extinct kaiju sized snakelizard is objectively ridiculously cool)

Good morning, bluesky fam! Few small bits and bobs: I am annoyed at the fact that there are no good looking wildshape miniature packs available, so I decided to start speedsculpting some. First a badger (because best mustelid) and then I jumped my fear and started on a Przewalski's horse.

Fun little side project based on @rj-palmer.com‘s unused Venusaur concept art for Detektive Pikachu. This guy is such a chungus!

So the next generation of #pridesopods is cooking. 👀 Going to have a production test session with @kampfnudl.bsky.social and might move on to making batches of each soon, so I can offer sticker packs of these little pride companions based on Cubaris sp. „Rubber Ducky“. Stay tuned!

So it's been a bit quieter these past days as I'm working on client stuff, can't show much there either yet because NDA but have this super sexy theropod silhouette as placeholder.

A heads-up for any of you still on FB. I've been sending this to several of my friends there, but it reaches more people to share it here, I think. Take it from someone who works there, FB is *not* safe. Here's a link to their post: misskey.de/notes/a3ax4t...

My amazing partner doing amazing crafting things. I am wearing socks they made me a lot as of late!
