Took some inspiration from concept artist Paul Richards and his exercise of messing with design proportions to make all these funky derivatives of the Mexican Alligator Lizard.

Accidentally made a couple dragons I think, oh well.

Sup y’all! I’m working on an animated show pitch about a world where monotremes are the only mammlas left after the KPg event!

I for one want to be able to see one of these giants in person one day. Gulf of Mexico whale has a nice ring to it.

We know that whales can bounce back with appropriate action and we have all the tools necessary. But we must let our nation and state know that this Florida native is with us. I have already sent remarks to my local congressperson and I hope that this post will spur others to act.

The G.O.M. Whale is one of the most endangered mammals on Earth, with only about 50 of them left, likely as a consequence of pollution and ship strikes. There WERE protections against this, until a certain someone decided to try and “drill, drill, drill”. But we cannot let them.

This #worldwildlifeday I don’t mean to bring down the mood but rather lift up yall reading into action. I was lifted up this week upon hearing that the Gulf of Mexico Whale has had many of its legal protections rolled back by the federal government in collaboration with ocean drilling companies.

Did this sketch based off a fish that was flagged as “Unknown” by the system. Absolute cutie-pie. Photo credit to MBARI

Recently started using the Fathomverse app by MBARI and it’s really cool. You basically are tasked with sorting photos of deep sea animals to help scientists identify them and there’s a non-zero chance that a photo you are given is one of a species not yet recognized by science which is neat.

To any animators, modelers, or 3d artists who love creatures/ spec-evo and are interested in getting involved, please reply here or contact me through any of the means provided here with some examples of your work!

…who are interested in getting involved!

In this nature documentary-style program, explore an alternate timeline where monotremes rule the Earth in a staggering variety of species as the ONLY surviving mammals, from tiny vermin to giant predators, roaming herds, ocean titans and even an intelligent civilization!

Hey y’all! Uploaded this to my Insta months ago but here it is again for Bluesky.

(Part 2 is in the thread.)

This is “Age of Monotremes”: a 3d animated show pitch being developed by myself and many fellow artists about a timeline where monotremes (like the platypus and echidna) rule the Earth!

Hi! I'm Vincent and I'm a creature designer/paleoartist/illustrator.

Updated some concept art done for a show pitch that some friends and I are putting together called "Age of Monotremes", set in a timeline where monotremes took over rather than other mammals. This elephant-sized predator, a Shajo, hunts even more dangerous megafauna and is thus also greatly armored.

This concept art was done for a show pitch that some friends and I are putting together called "Age of Monotremes", set in a timeline where monotremes took over rather than other mammals. Here, tiny shrew-like insectivores cling to the face of a megafaunal host to clean parasites off its skin.

Dinovember Day 13 - Arrhinoceratops

Heavily inspired by razorbills, here’s a watercolor of Arrhinoceratops from Late Cretaceous Alberta.
