Sketch dump: Got me some new stuff that came in. I'd think the old crank would like them cinnamoroll slippies too.

Looking at my last Predalien piece, I wanted to look at the dome concept a bit more. Never liked the AVPR yellow fleshy design, and somehow present human skull when it should have been a Predator/Yautja skull. It takes from it's host's DNA after all.

Done! I noticed how in previous Predalien designs had them with human traits like skull and teeth. Decided to add in a Predator skull to better fit in the DNA reflex the xenomorph is famously known to have.

Google joins the call to gut our legal protections, pushing for a world where Big Tech gets to profit from all your innovations & works for free, and that theft is ok’d by law.
No joke IF they get this, the US will likely face irreparable harm as pivotal creative economies crash.

Keeping this in the hands of artists who actually care for the culture of the city instead of Mayor Parker’s preferred fly by night real estate investment company who wants to turn it into luxury condos is a massive win for Philly artists
Score one for the arts.
The UArts’ iconic Hamilton Hall will go to the Philly company that repurposed the Bok Building. It's intended to include artist workspaces.

Following up on my previous study on Scarface's original design, the Dark Blade Clan armor is the peak design for me in the game and perhaps my top favorite in the overall Predator series.
Ohhh how I would love a remaster or a sequel with the big man coming back again.

I liked the colors of the new rex from the Jurassic World Rebirth trailer, reminds me of colors from one of those striped pumpkins.

Ol' Snikrot was curious to see who was hunting down his boys. Turns out someone else was also looking for him too. Predator Scarface vs Ork Warboss Snikrot!
Perhaps one day I will go back to this and give it some work but this sketch will do.

Exactly what I was talking about, the dinosaurs aren’t good by themselves apparently and need a big new monster to draw in crowds.
And people said that JW’s take on making hybrids to attract crowds cuz they were bored of regular dinosaurs is not realistic.

First look at the mutant-dinosaur in #JurassicWorldRebirth
Its design is inspired by a mix of a T-Rex, Rancor, and Xenomorph

I’m just not feeling the vib for Jurassic Word Rebirth. It has that Marvel-eaque energy that never made what JP is. Also using mutant dinosaurs instead of just, oh, idk the dinosaurs themselves as a cool focus???
Nahhh this feels way too off. I’m not digging this film at all. No first day for me.

Older painting showing a group of Pachyrhinosaurus wading through some water. This was the first time I really dove into learning about lenses and referencing wildlife photography for my paleoart, and I feel it was a big breakthrough for defining my approach! #paleoart #paleosky #pachyrhinosaurus

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?
