'Princess Joveta sends her grateful thanks to her friend the great Khan for his kind gift of her new pet Velociraptor, with whom she is delighted. Isambart now responds to his name, is taking well to training, and bids fair to becoming a very fine hunter.'

Really proud of this Regaliceratops from a flocking #paleostream

Flocking in traditional media is so amazing to me

#paleostream first time flocking, had a nice time sketching :) the timer reminds me of college in a good way, lighting round lol. Had to leave halfway through so, monolophosaurus and Juravenator. #paleoart #sketch #watercolor
A black and white sketch of Juravenator done during paleostream. I was going for sandpiper but alas, time. Monolophosaurus sketch done in black watercolor during paleostream. The eyes should be farther back in the head, whoops lol. Also they almost certainly didn’t have dewlaps buuuuuuut I wanted to draw one anyway so, enjoy our mutant boy Dewey here. Alt text readers, I appreciate you.

Check out the thought process that went into developing our distinctive art style for #benthosgame, starting with the Stoplight Parrotfish. This mischievous guy would become our unofficial mascot and star on the box art! #reefscience 🪸 🧪

Sadly didn’t get to flock today but—it’s still a #fossilfriday 🦕 as I took a visit to the @burkemuseum.bsky.social and did some gestures of the paleontology exhibit. (Ink added later as pens are not allowed)

Got lucky enough to join another #paleostream. Odobenocetops, Saurosuchus, Pterygotus & Argentinodraco.

here's today's #Paleostream sketches!!!

today we sketched Odobenocetops, Saurosuchus, Pterygotus, and Argentinadraco
an Odobenocetops kicks up the sandy seafloor in its tropical shallow water habitat, here it's depicted using its long tusk akin to a walrus Odobenocetops is a weird dolphin-line cetacean with a squashed pug-like face, and asymmetrical tusks a Saurosuchops is seen in a cinematic aspect ratio focusing on an almost disaproving expression (though in life it didnt have a mobile face at all and this is just our brains putting an expression onto it) Saurosuchops is a terrestrial pseudosuchian which had lips, and oddly raised eyes for a terrestrial animal above a Devonian reef, a Pterygotus has caught an arthrodire placoderm and grips on hard with its raptorial chelicerae, smaller animals swim away from the chaos. Pterygotus is a kind of macropredatory pterygotid eurypterid, a clade of extinct invertebrates related to horseshoe crabs and spiders. its tail and hindlimbs were paddle like and used for propulsion, while its from four pairs of limbs were used for walking along the seafloor when applicable. Pterygotidae is a family of eurypterids who modified their mouthparts (chelicerae) into large raptorial appendages used for tackling and processing prey. their bodies were also covered in fish scale-like tubercles that helped them swim through the water column faster. arthrodire placoderms are a large group of extinct armoured fish that includes animals like Bothriolepis and Dunkleosteus on a Late Cretaceous beach, a lucky Argentinadraco has found an unlucky razor clam. the Argentinadraco takes off with the razor clam in beak to find a safer place to crack it open Argentinadraco is an azhdarchoid and potential alanqid pterosaur known only from a lower jaw fragment. like other azhdarchoid pterosaurs speculated to clade within Alanqidae, it posesses bony ridges in its beak potentially used to process and eat hard shelled prey. another feature is a crest on its lower jaw that was most likely used for some sort of display

Would pterygotus taste the best steamed, fried or cooked in a hotpot?

Super excited to finally begin revealing parts of this project that I’ve been working on for several years! #benthosgame continues to be an amazing opportunity sitting at the crux of my interests in #scienceillustration and #marinebiology and I can’t wait for people to enjoy it. 🐠
