Wrasses and parrotfish (family Labridae) are among the most diverse lineages of reef fishes on earth. A new study sheds light on Labridae diversification during the Miocene.
Painting reef fish is so rewarding because I get to use some vibrant colors. Hello, turquoise and magenta!

Finding a larval Armored Sea Robin (Peristediidae sp.) drifting through the nighttime open ocean is likely the closest we’ll ever come to finding a dragon.

Meet the Manefish, Caristius macropus. Named for their distinctive shape, macropus means large foot. This fish was observed in Monterey Bay 483 meters (1584 feet) deep in August of 2018. #MBARIFromTheVault

Panderichthys!, an "example" of our ancestors before getting out of the water, with more ossified/muscled fins (arms) to support its weight in land (quick #paleoart commission)

Hi I'm Ligus, a traditional artist who paints a lot of fish.
When I have time, I also love to paint birds and invertebrates (once in a blue moon, there will be a mammal 🦇).

Happy #fishfriday, everyone! 🐟 Viperfishes are characterized by their long, needle-like teeth and hinged lower jaws. I had lots of fun drawing this fearsome fish!

The Waukesha Biota is a Silurian Lagerstätte preserving many soft-bodied organisms, but rarely any hard carapaces. The scene below shows only a part of its rich fauna.
(It's my first 3d paleoart scene, and I think it turned out well. Rendered thanks to @prehistorica.art)

I'm a palaeontology student and mostly draw various unusual animals (both extinct and extant), and like doing interesting vegetation and backgrounds! I also do some more technical scientific illustration.

急流ドラゴン
乱流になる程水の流れが速い川などに生息
翼と脚は岩に張り付きやすい鰭状になっていて、腕は吸盤のような役割を果たす
苔や生物の死体を好み、特殊な歯で削り取る

The weird scissor-toothed shark, Edestus and straight-shelled ammonites.
Illustration for the forthcoming book. I don't know what the bubbles mean beyond the fact that I looks drawing them.

We finally got shrimps! It was a bit on impulse and we didn't get the colour we planned for (I urgently messaged any private seller around and took the first who answered) but they are red, they are cute and we love them! #shrimptank #aquarium
