Decided to try some digital art! Some experiments with light and shadow layers eventually turned into the ISGV Valeria, a generation ship with a subset of some terran ecosystems transplanted aboard.

Post your lock screen!

Sure, I'll hop on this trend. This might be my favorite pic from the whole Apollo program - Apollo 9 EVA

A young tyrannosaur, accidentally timed well for the discovery of Khankhuuluu. Haven't done much in the way of paleoart before, and I really enjoyed this little project! Graphite on paper. #sciart #paleoart

Post your space art!

I'm quite happy with the design! Big fan of keeping the iconography from the overall Artemis program patch.

Got a request from a friend for a Kirin. Ended up putting a bit of a twist on something similar to the one in Jessica Peffer's DragonArt book - which was a huge part of how I learned to draw in the first place. Graphite on paper.

Another dragon - good thing to do to unwind. The skull anatomy got away from me for sure but I still think it came out pretty well! Graphite on paper.

New sort of surrealist space art! I went back with some white paint to make sure the stars would really pop - keeping such tiny areas clear of graphite while shading all that dark space is always a bit of a challenge.

Been a bit since I posted any of my artwork - here's another older drawing, big fan of the eyes and the fangs on this guy!

Got a minor patch ready to go for my #gamedev project, Millikan's Reach. A number of bugfixes and improvements, an upgrade to a new Unity version, and native Linux support!

Took a trip to Kennedy Space Center this last week for work - I was able to catch a couple of launches, tour the VAB, and see all the lovely museum spaces they've got set up out there!

Two-headed swamp dragon! Another older one, though I still really like how the tails came out especially.

If you see this, post a monster!

Here's a griffin, one where I still wanted to have all six limbs but I wanted the cat forelimbs to be kinda secondary to the wings.

Hydra design I did a couple of years ago - still really happy with it! Extra legs and tails are a thing I hadn't tried much at this point.

I 3D-printed a Vostok capsule for Yuri's Night earlier this year, but I hadn't gotten around to painting it until this evening.

Now I've got it to go with my Mercury capsule from last year, I've got both of the earliest crewed spacecraft!

Man, I haven't drawn a dinosaur since before I knew much about their anatomy - have a somewhat awkward dromaeosaur! I'm mostly pretty happy with it but the arms are definitely on the outdated side

Another older drawing - I've got a solid backlog of dragons I'd like to post here, and I've got a couple unfinished ones in the works

Bluesky's open, quote one art to promote yourself!

An older sketch I still really like - I'm a huge fan of the trope where a dragon or giant or what have you hibernates long enough for a tree to start growing out of it. Kinda want to revisit it sometime and polish it up!

Hello! Figured an intro post would be good - it's been ages since I was on Twitter.

I work on a spacecraft, I prepare fossils, I do a fair bit of art, I make video games from time to time, and I'll probably post a decent amount of some good space and paleontology stuff plus some projects of my own!
