More human practice! Juras and Ida doing the princess carry thing. #originalcharacter #worldbuilding

The maps of Terra Arcanis. Although this world is also called Earth, it's altered by the presence of magical property, known as Arcane, thus significantly altered the planet compares to the Earth we know. Currently, only the Old World side has a detailed map. #speculativeevolution #worldbuilding

A Paranthian beast tamer tried to tame a Common Dragon (Draconus volaticus) as a hunting companion like he did with raptors and wargs before... It didn't go well for him. #dragons #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

Mean Diplodocus. Can you already guess that I'm leaning into purple when colouring? xD [ #diplodocus #dinosaurs #paleoart #sciart #art ]

Some notable Land Wyvern species from Terra Arcanis. #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

"Forbidden Night Stroll" Although I draw mostly animals, I also aim to perfect drawing humans! Still have quite a long way to go. Ps: The little maid here wasn't in (any real) danger, she just wandered unauthorized into her "boss"'s room. #characterdesign #worldbuilding

Balaur bondoc, here interpreted as a bird, being harassed by small, colorful azhdarchids. #paleoart #sciart #paleostream

"Stage of Gold" A paleo-art contest entry featuring a pair of Epidexipteryx during a mating ritual. #dinosaur #paleoart

Jidapterus, showing of it's speculative cheeks. At least some azhdarchids appear to have an extremely short tail, so much that it's questionable if it was even visible in the living animal. #paleoart #sciart #paleostream #assdarchid

With the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs, many groups of animals diversified to fill the niches left by the doomed dynasty. One of them was the dracomorphs that increased in size and began their path to the apex of the ecosystems. #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

The ancestry of dragons, sea serpents, and wyverns of Terra Arcanis dated back to the Mesozoic Era. Fire-breathing ability was first evolved as defense mechanism as these early dracomorphs lived as small critters under the shadow of the non-avian dinosaurs. #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

Koraizard!

Some splash art of my anthropavian characters, showing how their mutated wing feathers can be used to hold object like human hands do. They also wear different gears such as armors, ornaments, and shoes. #speculativeevolution #worldbuilding #characterdesign

Two anthropavian emus had a dangerous encounter with a giant predator fish called Hiira during their sea grass gathering trip in the sea grass meadow of the Southern Isles. #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign #worldbuilding

The Great Wilds Serengeti is one of the largest Plains found on the Great Wilds Continent. Aspidatherium is a large herbivore that graze on the prairie plants. Although they are large they still fall prey to The ThunderBird #NativeAmerican #creaturedesign

Another prominent sophont race in Terra Arcanis is the Anthropavian. They are birds mutated by a certain strain of magic, giving them sapient intelligence and other attributes such as speech capability and grasping wing feathers. #speculativeevolution #worldbuilding

With their transformation and strength, shapeshifters were once an indomitable force that ruled over other sophonts and wild beasts. Not even a dragon was safe when enemies could easily disguise as your kin or become even greater beasts from the past. #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

My shapeshifter OCs, Juras and Ida. Two of the many characters from world of Terra Arcanis. #fantasy #characterdesign #dinosaur

Lolong doodle, an aquatic tyrannosauroid that is known to eat large fish and whales that lives on deep reefs.

Armor Render, derived HE Notosuchian that lives on the eastern continents deep lakes and inland ocean, it is the apex predator where it preys on large animals like other marine archosaurs and synapsids like whales where it uses its strong bite and neck to rend through it.

I've posted several new #paleoart works at #Patreon today, and also kicked off my book and print reward season. Sign up today to get involved: www.patreon.com/c/markwitton Here's one of the new artworks: Dromaeosaurus and a juvenile Chasmosaurus. It's a little creepy, which seems apt. #sciart

There are many sophont races in Terra Arcanis. A very prominent one is the shapeshifter. This humanoid evolved from humans through magic manipulation, allowing them to transform into various beasts from which they can borrow their ability and strength. #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

The Greater Luung is the largest species of sea serpent. With a staggering mass of up to 8 tonnes, this sea reptile generally doesn't have much to fear... Except for a hunting pod of orca. #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

Environmental study of my World building project. #worldbuilding #speculativeevolution #painting #illustration #digitalart #conceptart

The Long-tailed Dragon is a bizarre-looking dragon species. About the size of a cat, these specialist hunt for bats, their primary prey, by hanging upside-down with their tail from the cave ceiling. #dragons #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

The Typical Dragon is a group of smaller-bodied species that adapt to life in the sky. Most have long and narrow wings that allow them to hawk prey mid-air. Many species also utilize fire-breathing to capture prey as well. #dragons #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

Hello, I'm new to Bluesky. I'm an illustrator specializing in animals, scientific illustration, and creature design. Here is a piece of a unicorn with a more realistic colour pallet, based on fallow deer. #fantasy #conceptart #animalart #unicorn #conceptillustration #illustration #creaturedesign

20 min sketches from #paleostream !! here are cambropachycope, onychodus, xenodens and lyrarapax. very out of my comfort zone, but i loved drawing them :) #paleoart #sciart

A Red Drake preying on a juvenile giraffe. #dragons #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

The Red Drake is the third-largest dragon species and the apex predator of open plains and savannas. Unlike the two species of Black Drake, it is far more aggressive and readily sees people as prey. #dragons #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

MK but Mulan reference (repost) #art #mortalkombat #liukang #kunglao #kenshitakahashi #jaxbriggs #johnnycage #sonyablade

The Southern Black Drake is an elusive dragon species. This second-largest dragon inhabits treacherous mountains and montane forests far away from settlements. They are also quite aversive by nature, making them difficult for researchers to study. #dragons #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

Recently I've gotten caught up with @talesofkaimere.bsky.social's Tales of Kaimere! Really cool fantasy setting with a spec evo twist. It's gotten so firmly wrapped around my brain I had to do some takes on some of the mammals from the setting, starting off with the best ones, the sloths 🦥

Beneath the Bait Ball

The Northern Black Drake is the largest living dragon species in Terra Arcanis. They inhabit mountain ranges and plains in the northern hemisphere of the Old World and is well known for their potent fire-breathing ability. #dragons #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

Tylosaurus bernardi #paleoart #mosasaurs #mosasaurus #tylosaurus #jurassicworld #jurassicpark

The Wandering Dragon is a large species of dragon inhabiting open plains and savanna. They soar over wide areas in search of carrions. With their imposing size and nasty temper, all other scavengers scatter when these carrion kings arrive at the feast. #dragons #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

Some in-universe architectural design for world building! I’m thinking of combining all of the architecture in a potential zine… if anyone’s interested. ออกแบบตึกต่างๆในจักรวาลของออริค่ะะ 🫵😩 #oc #originalcharacter #worldbuilding #conceptart #ชุมชนสายผลิต

What would happen, say, if I were to self indulgently post this spread of all my Lorcana illustrations to date?

While related to sea serpents and kelpies, lindworms' ancestors returned to terrestrial habitats. They are found in arid habitats and some species have adapted to live in dunes, swimming through sand like their cousins do water. #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

Kelpies are related to sea serpents. Considered more basal, they possess functional elbows, allowing for better locomotion on land. Kelpies are also more restricted to freshwater habitats (with some exceptions). #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

Artist, QRP your two sides! On one hand, serious, lore-heavy artwork for my world-building... With blood and horror. On another, goofy-ah comic... #comic #worldbuilding #characterdesign

Earlier this year, @arvalis.bsky.social commissioned me to build a muscle model of a Komodo Dragon. Lizard anatomy is well studied, but many resources are hidden in literature often unknown/inaccessible to artists. The mission was to make an idealised, artist-friendly reference for lizard muscles.

Another group of sea serpents is the surface-dwelling serpent which lives a lifestyle akin to those of dolphins and sealion, actively swimming and hunting highly mobile prey in the open ocean. #dragons #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

Would you visit this aquarium? #paleoart #SciArt #artbyjulio

Sea serpents from the Terra Arcanis project. They are secondarily aquatic relatives of dragons and wyverns. Depicted here are taxa that inhabit open ocean and forage in the depth of the benthic zone. #dragons #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign

อพยพย้ายถิ่นมาเหมือนกันยังไงก้ขอฝากเนื้อฝากตัวด้วยครับ ปกติไม่สนใจวาดคนวาดแต่แนวcreature design แต่เมคเฟรนได้เสมอจะชวนคุยเรื่องไร้สาระก็ได้นะ:)
