This is an art piece I made based on this giant squid photo using a model of parapuzosia that I made in blender. The backstory is just for flavour

Just realised I've now modelled the (estimated) largest extinct vertebrate and invertebrate. Maybe I should make a little fella next.

Ichthyotitan severnensis - known from a huge partial surangular bone this Triassic ichthyosaur may have even exceeded the blue whale in length.

Proof of concept for an animation idea I have. The simulation definitely needs optimising if I want longer clips (took about 8 hours to bake) but render time was pretty forgiving.

This piece was inspired by the aforementioned Zuiyo-maru carcass, the single greatest "sea monster" image ever captured.

The "Karetai Carcass" was entangled in the lines of the vessel where it had been fed upon by cookiecutter sharks. The original film was recovered from the first mate of the Karetai after the publication of the image in 2019. Analysis of the image has been inconclusive thus far.

In 1977 the Japanese ship Zuiyo-maru caught a highly decomposed carcass first assumed to be that of a plesiosaur. Though quickly identified as a basking shark, a recently uncovered image from the small New Zealand fishing vessel Karetai dating to 1975 casts doubt on this theory.

By the 1950's it was widely accepted that the giant squid (Architeuthis dux) was the origin behind the myth of the "Kraken".
In 1956 this theory was challenged with the discovery of an enormous shelled carcass found beached upon the small Norwegian island of Flesa.
