The Wandering Sky Skag - a species of flying skag native all across Desera's oceanic regions. #iyrin #worldbuilding #specevo #aliens #digitalart

So you think Merlin the magician wasn't real? I guess that means you also don't believe that he still exists and walks amongst us? Then how do you explain this??? ;)

Wow I've been pumping these creatures out lately

The silver skarliti, a nimble-legged creature native to Desera's #scorchbelt. #iyrin #specevo #digitalart #worldbuilding

Golden Yern, a fish-like creature native to Desera's shallow, calm oceans. #iyrin #worldbuilding #digitalart #specevo

The white skydragon - A flying creature native to the #scorchbelt of #Desera. #iyrin #digitalart #specevo #alien

Ground Skag - A small insectoid creature native to the savannahs of the #scorchbelt. Once a female accepts a male into her burrow, the male rips his wings off and feeds them to the female as a sign of devotion. Because ground skags are blind, these creatures heavily rely on their sense of smell.

#SciArt for today. Gotta love loons. Did this for Minnesota DNR publication.

Basic physics explanation of why a weasel bites proportionately harder than a fox (and a cougar). Also why a cougar bites proportionately harder than a wolf.

post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid.... A SKYWING

Happy #Easter for Christians, and relavent creature: the largest lagomorph ever, #Nuralagus rex.

Art trade for @pacificbirdnerd.bsky.social! This is her OC, Callie. Callie is a young gryphon living in the PNW trying to navigate life on her own. I had a ton of fun working on this art, and especially doing some research on PNW native plants and animals. #Digitalart #OC #ArtTrade

Even though I did kinda jump on the badwagon back when the frozen Homotherium cub was published, I decided to focus on the adult interpretation, though I knew eventually I would like to do something featuring cubs. And here it is! A nice family portrait. #paleoart #SciArt #artbyjulio

"Nobody… nobody trusts anybody now, and we're all very tired." I keep meaning to do a proper The Thing painting and never finding the time, one day. In the meanwhile here is a Post-It Note piece done with ink, markers and acrylic gouache.

Does anyone know some good spec-evo communities on Discord or some other platform? If not, I think I'll just make my own server. #spec-evo

Dire Wolf (Aenocyon dirus) thread. No, those wolves in the news yesterday are NOT dire wolves. To be clear those are Gray Wolves with just a few genes modified based on Dire Wolf DNA through CRISPR #paleoart #direwolf #aenocyon

Hi bluesky

This is still up on the table! #arttrade

Up close and personal with a Paraphrynus laevifrons whip spider ambushing prey in Costa Rica. This is one of the bolder species of Amblypygi, often with several individuals hanging out in close proximity on the same rock or tree trunk. It is quite common in riparian habitats.

How peculiar... #OC

Sometimes, I draw a humans, (not my OC, but a friend's) #Digitalart #OC

Pareidolia fans, rejoice! After a long break I decided to revive my blog and wrote about Eusceptis effusa, a small noctuid moth from Ecuador with a spider-like pattern on its wings. A neat optical illusion! You can read about it here: gilwizen.com/eusceptis-ef...

I hate the compression quality on here -_-

The Great Sag, Trestrunci elephanti (Three-trunked elephant) is a migratory species of earless orisdactylid endemic to the central region of #Desera known as the "scorch-belt". They are the largest (living) land-dwelling animal on Desera. #Iyrin #worldbuilding #specevo #digitalart

I reworked my skarliti species so that they made more sense in their environment (Desera). Skarliti are Nomadic pack predators whose habitat range from lowland savannah, prairies, mesas, and scrubland! #iyrin #specevo #speculativeevolution #worldbuilding #skarliti #digitalart

I'm working on some of my aliens so that they look more "realistic"!

The Herefordshire Biota, a diverse assemblage of animals from the Silurian-age rocks of the UK. Among the largest animals is Thanahita, a strange relative of Hallucigenia with soft papillae lining its back.
