Acanthostrongylophora sponge & some friends

recording: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CX3...
Acanthostrongylophora is an orange and maroon marine sponge with multiple large osculum and a upright growth habit. This one is colored almost like a quilt. Surrounding it are several fish, a crab, a pistol shrimp, a chocolate chip sea star, and a brittle star

our ancient cousins of the permian, drawn last year :)
Illustrations of Estemmenosuchus with a warm red-pink hue on a black background with stars and ferns scattered throughout. Two bull Estemmenosuchus mirabilis stand on their hind legs, ready to fight with open mouths displaying large canine teeth.To the left is a side profile of an Estemmenosuchus uralensis male and below a female, lacking the head crest structures on top of the skull and extended cheekbones as well as the nose horn. Above is a size comparison of mirabilis and uralensis bulls, the former being notably smaller. Their bodies are round and sturdy with a sprawled stance. They are hairless aside from a speculative dusting around the face and neck. The uralensis bull also has a fern in its mouth, hinting to its largely herbivorous diet.

Once upon a time I was a nearly prolific illustrator of ancient life forms. Here's a sampling of this 🐡🎨 paleoart from the early 20's.

I’m alive just feeling the urge to burrow under a rock and hibernate. Here have a sketch of dimetrodon painted with gunk I scraped off a dimetrodon coracoid. #sciart #paleoart
A snapshot of a resting dimetrodon painted with the muddy earth that once covered a dimetrodon bone. The pigment is mixed with golden hi flow medium to improve its quality as a paint. Been gifting things made in this medium to friends at the lab, will never be for sale.

This is the character I had the most fun writing.
Buzzhuzz is def my fav chapter in our game- felt very cathartic to work on considering the rise of fasc1sm & the war on "degenerate art" (look up the phrase if you're unfamiliar with the history) in the real world today.
