If they really wanted to appeal to women they should have made a drink called Monster Fucker.

Devonion fishies Elpistostege (close relative of the famous Tiktaalik) and couple of bothriolepis swimming by. Needs updating but still thinking this is one of my better paintings I have done

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it"

My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.

Did you know. That the meme-explosion that was the wooden model of Sacabambaspis (an Ordovician jawless fish) held at a Museum in Helsinki, was created by a pioneering Estonian fish paleontologist and palaeoartist, Elga Mark-Kurik. 🧵

Hey #portfolioday !

I do concept art for environments, backgrounds and props! I also love painting and sketching in my sketchbook 🫡

I swear if Del Toro's Frankenstein won't get a lot of positive recognition by the arts & crafts, with their numerous critics and nominations, I'm starting a podcast about it that'll never going to end. It's a melancholic dream, a beautiful requiem, a true masterpiece of the craft. Make it known
