grubhub concept art #turnip28

New #paleoart just uploaded to #Patreon! Here's my take on an Ice Age icon, the woolly mammoth: Mammuthus meets mammutus. The hi-res version, WIPs and behind the scenes notes are available at www.patreon.com/posts/123179.... More #Pleistocene art to come soon! #sciart #fossils

It should be illegal not to recreate historic photos when disassembling and remounting a sauropod skeleton

On a recent trip to Mesker Park Zoo, I stumbled upon a relatively interesting find in the gift shop: a historical look at the zoo. Mesker Park Zoo is one of the oldest in the state, and I'm quite eager to give this a lookthrough!

Things I need to learn how to draw better; fish Things I’m not half bad at drawing: frogs

ULTRAMAN (1966)

This is officially my horizontally longest image to date, depicting some of the earliest complex animals on the planet from 565 to 505 million years ago and how they changed over time. Thank you to @egmitchell.bsky.social and Steve Pates for trusting me with this gargantuan task! #Art #SciArt

Have you ever been so inspired by a series of paintings that you go “But what if I tried to do that” and then somehow sketch one of the best room pieces you’ve ever done despite that being completely out of your normal wheelhouse? That’s me today. www.draganbibin.com/the-human-co...

I got my hands on that new Marvel TTRPG (A friend scored a massive discount of like 38 bucks for the core rules and an adventure module), and immediately my first thought is to go and make a superhero team of escapee super powered animals. Thinking of Experimentals! or Creature Squadron as a name.

Meant to share this yesterday, but I’ve got a new friend! Say hello to the TLA Megacerops. One of the liveliest of the family I’ve ever seen model wise! Eofauna Deinotherium for scale!

I got a set of campaign journals for Christmas that seem to be 5e set which is a shame because with each passing game I'm playing in the system, the more tired I'm gettin of it. I've been contemplating a system swap for the one I'm running, or even starting a completely different themed thing.

Always gotta love it when your players are not only illustrating their characters but rapidly improving! Fantastic work!

2025's proving to be a bit of a year of transitions currently. Lots of things are shifting at work, and it's having me look at everything creatively in a similar manner. The monster novels are stop and go, with the horror stuff knocking. My TTRPG games are overwhelming, dredging canyons in my time.

I did it again! Jurassic Park with accurate raptors, a short part 2 #jurassicpark #blender3d

Flats are done. Now for the background, clouds and lighting effects... ie. the reasons I was dragging my feet on this one for so long lol! #kaijuart

"The stuffiest of the stuffy." Getting a few pieces in at the end of the year! Dorgnon Gloor, First Magistrate of the Outermost Worlds of the Fifth Sector — or for short, aristocratic alien bureaucrat who does NOT like his job one bit! #OC #alien #doodle #art

Holy mother of pearl actual PROGRESS on this WIP #kaijuart

I've just finished the audiobook version of The Rise and Reign of the Mammals by @stevebrusatte.bsky.social during the holiday travels over the last few weeks. I'd seen the book on the shelves in bookstores, but had an opportunity to give it a try through Spotify. And I'm glad I did!

Yoinked this from elsewhere, but I haven’t seen a surprising amount of movies and figured this could be fun

Skeletal reconstruction of Dinornis robustus, or the South Island giant moa. Among the largest of once diverse clade of flightless birds that inhabited New Zealand- all were eventually wiped from existence some time after the arrival of humans on the islands.

With the first batch of holidays done and the new year lurking around the corner, I figure it’s that time of year that everyone takes a look at what they want to do for 2025. So here’s the goals and plans for exactly that.

For those that celebrate, Mercyhippus to all! Later in this week, I’m going to go over some future plans for 2025

Some days I wonder what’s the point and then I see a turkey vulture and feel better

Been experimenting with ideas for some new monsters for the fantasy kaiju setting, and I'm trying to see if there's a few roles I could fill for it. Some come naturally, like Kalthor fitting the "ogre" sort of a role, and a few ideas have sprung (Full on Dragon), but I've got about three more to do.

Something I never thought I'd have to look up while doing research for videos: How to Write a Eulogy.
