are you feeling more like a tom tom or a shmeevus today?

the popular consensus was that bc the tracheal system needs more and longer tubes to get oxygen at large sizes, crowding out other stuff (in beetles, that's nerves and hemolymph in the legs 4 example), big bugs are only possible in high oxygen environments

Pokemon White nuzlocke team going into the champion (from around 2 years back, continued from previous post)! Scraw was the only survivor of Ghetsis, but died at Alder.

Loxolophus and Baculites. Comparatively large (raccoon sized) mammals emerged some 300k years after the K-Pg extinction, and ammonites fully died out some 500k years, so for a brief window of time they may have met.

[wip] inspired by some of the...interesting timeframes relating to the K-Pg extinction

mammals were getting big only 300k years after the asteroid, and ammonites died off fully around 500k years later. the last ammonite probably could have met one of the Cenozoic New Gens, nature is crazy

Pokemon White nuzlocke team going into the E4 (from around 2 years back)!
(Oceane the Alomomola died in the E4 and was replaced with a Stunfisk, Ultimus died against N, and everyone but Scraw died against Ghetsis)

there's also another earlier version where i had emphasized the highlights and shadows even *less* than the one i released on bsky, so I think it's something I had trouble with - my test is ultimately seeing whether this art is readable at a smaller scale with blurrier vision

as a test, I also upped the contrast and i think I like this one more now...i feel like higher contrast was what this piece was missing and will be keeping it in mind as a way to make environmental scenes look better!

Two Maip siblings scale a tree after blundering into an adult's territory. I wanted to try drawing a lush Mesozoic landscape...without ferns.

This is probably one of the more complex paleoarts I've done!

[i have never played fire emblem but greninja reminded me of the claude memes and the starters now all have bespoke weapons while being based on RPG characters, so...]

#Smaugust2025: Volcano and Starfall

We’re continuing on with the “fucked up creatures” train here. The domain of the ancients continues to expand…

#Smaugust2025: Crypt and Labyrinth

Here we delve deeper into the concept of an ancient civilization. As we do so, biology becomes more of a suggestion than a rule.

#Smaugust2025 - Treasure and Ruins

For Treasure, I wanted an ape-ish dragon that used its dexterity to scrounge up magic items from ruins and temples. For Ruins, I wanted a feral but very-old beast of burden from an extinct civilization.

#Smaugust2025 - Dungeon

Conceptually appeals to the origin of dragons in human fear; as a combination of cat, serpent and eagle with the weapon of flame.

Also this is the Dungeons Dragon, so I wanted it to be a traditional European dragon like the DnD ones

#Smaugust2025 - Second Boss

I wanted to have a desert-dweller, and I wanted the obligatory giant sand-swimming monstrosity. After that, I just had to figure out how to make it a truly special creature, as opposed to a rehash of popular tropes.
