Prompt: Starfish
I decided to imagine how a medieval monk illustrating a bestiary might envision a starfish if they had never seen one but only had vague and exaggerated written descriptions.

#Inktober Day 6.
Prompt: Pierce
A Styracosaurus and a Pachycephalosaurus. The dinosaur nerd in me would like to note that both species are native to North America in the Late Cretaceous. So the scene you see here is 100% scientifically plausible.

#Inktober Day 5.
Prompt: Deer
A skeleton of a megaloceras, also known as the “Irish Elk” (a misnomer since it is neither specifically Irish nor is it an elk), an extinct species of deer that used to range across Eurasia.
