I forget if I've seen this before (my memory is real bad) but holy fuck is it stunning. Absolutely gorgeous reconstruction, and the rendering is superb

Aww, thank-youuuu!!!🥰 Eee! I'm very happy with the kalligrammatid, but I kind of feel like I messed up the hand. I don't have much practice shading skintones.

I think it looks really good! Maybe that's in part because I'm entirely unknowledgeable and might be missing things, but to my eyes it looks perfect :3

Awww, I'm kind of glad to hear that! It means it'll definitely look alright to most people, especially non-artists! Also don't undersell yourself, your art and knowledge-base of art are both really good!!!

Wow!
In 2023, I used this illustration as one of the visual references in my reconstruction of Makarkinia irmae together with a fossil specimen of this species that we have in our lab! :D
