I like Animals, especially prehistoric ones. My favorite Animal is the Peacock Mantis Shrimp.

#1 Aquilonifer fan.

I pretty much just post my art.

I have a comic about prehistoric Animals. It’s an anthology that starts in the Cambrian and progresses forward through time. It’s called Prehistories.

A scene from the Cambrian, featuring a lot of sponges and early Animals. It also has an Aegirocassis that shouldn’t be there. I apologize for that.

Edaphosaurus.

I would draw these more often if the tubercles weren’t so tedious. They have really nice skulls though.

A pair of male Spinosaurus emerge from the water after a forest fire
Submitted for the Premio Italiano di Paleoarte (didn't win 🥲)
#gayleoart #paleoart #sciart
thread below🧵
In the morning, two male Spinosaurus emerge from the water into a burnt mangrove forest of Weichselia reticulata, small crabs crawl around their feet, while Anhanguerid pterosaurs investigate from the sky far away. The sun is a soft red against a greyish blue sky due to the smoke from a forest fire, smoke can still be seen arising from the distant landscape.

Sphenacodon.
Not enough research has been done on these animals compared to their closest relatives.

Cross Orbweaver

I overheard some people talking about how much they hate spiders, which is one of my least favorite things to overhear.
It did make me want to draw a spider though.

On the coast of Pliocene California, a Homotherium pounces upon a newborn Herpetocetus morrowi. These are Cetotheres, small baleen whales that thrived during the Miocene/Pliocene. For the sabertooth, such a tiny calf so close to shore is a rare treat. #paleoart #sciart #pliocene #california
Black-and-white pencil drawing of a predation scene in the shallow coastal waters of California during the Pliocene. Near a large rock, a mother Herpetocetus morrowi (four-meter-long baleen whale) rests at the surface with her newborn calf balancing on her back. She has just begun to curve downwards in a dive, as a relatively large Homotherium sabertooth-cat is leaping towards her tiny calf with its front paws outstretched. The large cat had been crouched atop the nearby rock. In the distance, a massive cumulus cloud sits just above the surface of the open ocean. On the seafloor below are two small sea urchins, and on the base of the large rock near the seafloor is a Pacific Rock Crab.

I haven’t really been completely satisfied with some of my art for #invertober2025 (mainly because I don’t have time to put more effort into each one), so I’m switching to a different style for the rest of the animals.
