I know it's been a while since I've lasted posted. I have been occupied with IRL stuff; mainly trying to sort out the house. So, finances have been a little tight because of that. I've been trying to fill out an old notebook that I've repurposed for testing out ideas in my spare time.

I was commissioned by @17-bit.bsky.social to make a goblin from their brilliant new game Awaysis. Character designed by Satoshi Matsuura and the logo by some guy called @jontofski.bsky.social 😜
If you are at Bitsummit this weekend head up to the third floor opposite Nintendo to check it out.

Abdel Majeed needs $350 to pay for his wife’s Leponex prescription and visits to the doctor. His campaign has had very little support, and anything you can give helps a ton ❤️

I was looking very much forward to this but the Hammerschmiede clay pit turned out much more difficult than I anticipated. As one of the most important Miocene sites in Europe and 3 big pieces by Mauricio Anton already done... my own expectations were high.

An unusual Thylacine colour morph... This Bicolour thylacine displays both melanism and piebaldism. A speculative colouration that may have occured if thylacines were domesticated rather than driven to extinction.
It is available over on my website; www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/thylaci...

Thought I’d get myself a T-shirt printed for DinoCon next month, so people know who I am. Putting my name on it seemed a bit naff, so I did this instead. I think it’s very “me”. 🤷♂️

Hi, just a reminder the internet is full of scammers, and to be very very careful when talking about commissions and things involving money publicly on social media.
Double check usernames and profiles to make sure you're actually talking to the person you think you are and not an impersonator!

So these things are both true:
1) If you're in the UK you can still post on Bluesky without age verification, and people saying you can't are incorrect
2) the amount of content that will be covered by age verification is overly broad and will be a significant obstacle to UK users.

We desperately need new movie franchises. Hint. Hint.
With all due respect to Gareth, this is bullshit.
If Prehistoric Planet and DeadSound’s Dinosauria and Sauria shorts are any indication, people still love dinosaurs. We just need new, younger talent to tell newer, more creative stories about them.
