Reply with a piece of palaeoart that deeply influenced you as a child. This Dilophosaurus killing a Plesiosaurus by Andrew Howatt. Still have the book this is in.

After enduring the harshest trials the Seridic Wetlands could offer throughout her youth, Fai Zhemi now faces the greatest challenge of a female ba'khar's life: finding, taking, and keeping a territory in which she will raise the next generation. Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH-r...

I have finished the Fable of Fai Zhemi: a Ba'khar Story. Elated, tired, and proud. Thanks to sponsors & art contributors! Chapter I: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCQ6... Chapter II: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0L1... Chapter III: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRrw... Chapter IV: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH-r...

The time for my traditional post summing up the year is here! So, to wrap up 2025 I first want to take a moment to thank everyone here for being so amazingly supportive of my art and for always having such kind words and admiration for my work #paleoart #sciart

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

how many billions of gallons of water evaporated just this week for this?

I wanna share some silly dromaeosaurs that are inspired by pictures of corvids taken by satuliljeqvist on Instagram. www.instagram.com/satuliljeqvist I highly recommend checking out their bird photography. #art #dromaeosaur #dinosaur

Finally can reveal publically some things I'm working on! Chimeras tend to get the spotlight for Beast Fables, so here's one focusing on Dire Beasts! In Beast Fables, being a Dire Beast means a critters natural adaptations tend are cranked up to eleven. #worldbuilding #fantasyart #creaturedesign

Who needs AI when we had stuff like this? I’ll take photoshop edits over the slop any day

Some people really do be like: "nah, our modern day image of dinosaurs is boring and stupid"...

Hail to the King

On the first day of Christmas (in about 2014), @duckswabber.bsky.social gave to me - a partridge in a pear tree. Happy Christmas everyone!

I was not able to resist the urge to make a few small edits to some of the sketches I colored

Chapter 3: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRrw... Fai Zhemi has not only survived the transition to independence, she has thrived, growing into a persistent and versatile angler. Most of the predators that threatened her in years past are fit comfortably in her shadow.

this photo of a Turkish Crayfish on iNaturalist by Serge Sidorovsky is destroying me. please he needs to be warshed

It's coming...

Following disaster, Fai Zhemi and her two surviving sisters are on their own: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0L1...

Gigahuaro, tipo hierba y hada. Enormes y sabios, protegen a los débiles y alimentan a los hambrientos. Gigahuaro, grass and fairy type. Enormous and wise, they protect the weak and feed the hungry. #fakemon

Flirting Diplodocus. A new study was able to locate melanosomes inside fossilized diplodocid scales. It concluded they had patterns and several types of pigment. Here's a somewhat creative interpretation on their possible appearance. #SciArt royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...

I can't unsee a drone's eye view of Mammut borsoni.

Mosasaurs, the giant marine reptiles that roamed the Earth more than 66 million years ago, didn’t just live in the sea. Our new research shows that they could thrive in freshwater too! Let’s dive into what we’ve discovered. #Paleontology #Mosasaurs

This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time "Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?" Chair says "have English as a second language" Caption changes the meaning entirely "Don't speak fluent English"

We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Well we have corollary:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIE STAGOSAURUS! Here's my Sophie artwork, commissioned by @nhm-london.bsky.social & @profpaulbarrett.bsky.social back in 2014. #SciArt #SciComm #Stegosaurus #Dinosaurs #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt #JurassicWorld

Excited to announce that my second manuscript, “Fossilised Melanosomes Reveal Colour Patterning in A Sauropod Dinosaur” has been published in @royalsociety.org !! Diplodocus scales are complex and diverse, and it turns out their color patterning was even more so. A 🧵🦕 1/26

Hey, that looks familiar! Update: the cranium has now been prepped so the description of this guy is the next paper in the queue.

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

Fable of Fai Zhemi Chapter 1: The Enchanted Forest www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCQ6...

Some days ago I made a thread on Pleistocene crocs in honor of Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age, and now I'm bringing it here too. Let me prefice this by saying that I of course understand their absence, obviously more unique fauna takes priority and I don't begrudge the team their choice

motivation left me on read 😔

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.” Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

Result from the Irdin Manha Formation #paleostream. While you might never heard it's name you most likely have heard of some of the fauna from here. First and foremost Andrewsarchus. The fossils were so far largely excavated by the amnh in northern China (Inner Mongolia) during...

Result from the Mammoth Site #paleostream! This has been our first mammoth steppe formation stream, dwelling into some the classic giants of the Pleistocene. This site in South Dakota offered a unique opportunity is that is has so much stuff preserved in situ that we can...

NO!!!! The New Safe Confinement was supposed to last 100 years! 😭😭😭😭 Make Putin *bleed* *every* penny! www.cnn.com/2025/12/06/e...

Look at them!!!!! 😍🐟

I'm so terribly funny

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

Megafauna are cool and all, but a habitat is only as good as its Little Guys™

For those who wish to contribute further to the art budget of the Fable of Fai Zhemi, or who have already done so: I'm putting together credits now. I've got how some folks would like to be referred in the episodes based on knowing them or listed in memos.

I am sorry to report I have to postpone the Fable of Fai Zhemi by a week. The series will arrive in four weekly chapters starting the 9th. I'm almost done with the first chapter, but I'd have to cut corners to get the others to the original schedule, and I'd rather it be as written.
