I like Animals, especially prehistoric ones. My favorite Animal is the Peacock Mantis Shrimp.

#1 Aquilonifer fan.

I pretty much just post my art.

I have a comic about prehistoric Animals. It’s an anthology that starts in the Cambrian and progresses forward through time. It’s called Prehistories.

A scene from the Cambrian, featuring a lot of sponges and early Animals. It also has an Aegirocassis that shouldn’t be there. I apologize for that.

Sphenacodon.
Not enough research has been done on these animals compared to their closest relatives.

Cross Orbweaver

I overheard some people talking about how much they hate spiders, which is one of my least favorite things to overhear.
It did make me want to draw a spider though.

On the coast of Pliocene California, a Homotherium pounces upon a newborn Herpetocetus morrowi. These are Cetotheres, small baleen whales that thrived during the Miocene/Pliocene. For the sabertooth, such a tiny calf so close to shore is a rare treat. #paleoart #sciart #pliocene #california
Black-and-white pencil drawing of a predation scene in the shallow coastal waters of California during the Pliocene. Near a large rock, a mother Herpetocetus morrowi (four-meter-long baleen whale) rests at the surface with her newborn calf balancing on her back. She has just begun to curve downwards in a dive, as a relatively large Homotherium sabertooth-cat is leaping towards her tiny calf with its front paws outstretched. The large cat had been crouched atop the nearby rock. In the distance, a massive cumulus cloud sits just above the surface of the open ocean. On the seafloor below are two small sea urchins, and on the base of the large rock near the seafloor is a Pacific Rock Crab.

I haven’t really been completely satisfied with some of my art for #invertober2025 (mainly because I don’t have time to put more effort into each one), so I’m switching to a different style for the rest of the animals.

Red-Banded Leafhopper.

I’ve actually been meaning to draw one of these for a while. Probably the most beautiful Animal I’ve seen in person.
