#Paleoctober2025 day 5 paleoart sketch of the Mesozoic coral Isastrea. #Paleoctober #Paleoart #Coral #Isastrea

I will never not repost this (Sound on for maximum effect)

more stylised paleoart concepts! this time it's Bananogmius, thanks to @3lfig.bsky.social for suggesting this taxon #fishart #stylisedart #paleoart #sketch #conceptart

Wrasses and parrotfish (family Labridae) are among the most diverse lineages of reef fishes on earth. A new study sheds light on Labridae diversification during the Miocene. Painting reef fish is so rewarding because I get to use some vibrant colors. Hello, turquoise and magenta! #sciart 🧪

Finding a larval Armored Sea Robin (Peristediidae sp.) drifting through the nighttime open ocean is likely the closest we’ll ever come to finding a dragon. . . #armoredsearobin #searobin #gurnard #peristediidae #blackwater #clackwaterdiving #gug #chrisgug #gugunderwater

A lizardfish overlooks its domain like a king of nothing at all

We found a dead shrimp in the aquarium today ☹️ what to do???

Woohoo

Meet the Manefish, Caristius macropus. Named for their distinctive shape, macropus means large foot. This fish was observed in Monterey Bay 483 meters (1584 feet) deep in August of 2018. #MBARIFromTheVault

SWIFTS!!

After a few days, I can say that it was the first and probably last time that I'll see them all together 😅🦐

And now get ready for a drop of little red #shrimps! It's a bit hard to catch them and my phone struggle to focus. But look at how cute they are #aquarium #aquascape #shrimptank #plantedtank

Panderichthys!, an "example" of our ancestors before getting out of the water, with more ossified/muscled fins (arms) to support its weight in land (quick #paleoart commission) Your grand-grand-grand-Mama had to goon to this 💔

New painting! Featuring a pod of Stenopterygius

#PortfolioDay 🐡 Hi I'm Ligus, a traditional artist who paints a lot of fish. When I have time, I also love to paint birds and invertebrates (once in a blue moon, there will be a mammal 🦇).

Sorry Shakespeare, new Hamlet just dropped! www.mapress.com/zt/article/v...

Ardetosaurus viator A reconstruction I made for the recently published dinosaur 🦕 #PaleoArt #SciArt #Dinosaurs #paleontology

Happy #fishfriday, everyone! 🐟 Viperfishes are characterized by their long, needle-like teeth and hinged lower jaws. I had lots of fun drawing this fearsome fish! #sciart #scientificillustration #wildlifeart #nature #marinebiology #deepsea #fish #drawing

The Waukesha Biota is a Silurian Lagerstätte preserving many soft-bodied organisms, but rarely any hard carapaces. The scene below shows only a part of its rich fauna. (It's my first 3d paleoart scene, and I think it turned out well. Rendered thanks to @prehistorica.art) #paleoart #silurian #3dart

Happy #PortfolioDay! I'm a palaeontology student and mostly draw various unusual animals (both extinct and extant), and like doing interesting vegetation and backgrounds! I also do some more technical scientific illustration. Contact for commissions is [email protected]

急流ドラゴン 乱流になる程水の流れが速い川などに生息 翼と脚は岩に張り付きやすい鰭状になっていて、腕は吸盤のような役割を果たす 苔や生物の死体を好み、特殊な歯で削り取る

The weird scissor-toothed shark, Edestus and straight-shelled ammonites. Illustration for the forthcoming book. I don't know what the bubbles mean beyond the fact that I looks drawing them.

We finally got shrimps! It was a bit on impulse and we didn't get the colour we planned for (I urgently messaged any private seller around and took the first who answered) but they are red, they are cute and we love them! #shrimptank #aquarium

I fucken love (drawing) mantises

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... Some zooms into my "Primeval Clevedon Bay" painting (2022), depicting fish, crinoids, othrocones, corals, gastropods, and brachiopods in an Early Carboniferous shallow sea. #SciArt #SciComm #PaleoArt #Carboniferous #FossilFish #JurassicPark #JurassicWorld

And here now the result of the Candeleros formation stream! What a weird place. The part of the formation we depict here is wasn't quite as arid as some of the lower parts of the formation and yet it was dry enough that it makes me wonder... how all the sauropods? #paleostream

Finished my very orange juvinile painted frogfish #SundayFishSketch 🐡 It's available on my Ko-fi shop👇 Difficult month, but I guess lots of people can relate at the moment 💚 ko-fi.com/s/4c82b0617e

We’ve looked at snails with one shell and slugs with no shells. Now let’s have a look at a snail with two shells, because Nature laughs at our puny attempts to pigeonhole. In today’s #AtoZ – J is for Julia (Juliidae) (1/9) Pic: © uwkwaj CC BY-NC

Is Twitter dead?

Never seen a lapwing from this close. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be doing great, sleeping by a big road on an empty parking. I don’t think it should be here this time of the year either

various vetulicolians are up on my Youtube channel! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBzl... #Sciart #paleoart #vetulicolia #cambrianperiod #Blender3D

We have so many pregnant copepods in the aquarium

Their description: ABYSSAL BLACK DEMON FISH The actual fish: an absolute derpy goob with a shit-eating grin, an absolutely goofy lump bobbling through the great blue nothing

Pseudocrioceras sticker available on my redbubble! www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Ps...

It’s #BlackHistoryMonth so it’s a good time to celebrate the extraordinary mathematician and NASA scientist Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; 1918 – 2020). 🧪🐡👩🏾‍🔬🧮 #histsci One of the first Black women employed as a NASA scientist (and its predecessor NACA), she was known for her mastery of complex 🧵

Are there actual reasons for which you have to wake up before 9:30 to run a farm or is it just early birds world

A very off-theme #SundayFishSketch this week (as per usual): my continued progress on a Lovely Hatchetfish. #SciArt #Art #Fish

I enjoyed this 20 min doodle enough that I actually did some touch ups afterwards. Bothriolepis cleaning the glass of it's aquarium. Soft tissue around the mouth is very much speculative. #paleoart #sciart #paleostream #placoderm

Me on every new paleontological discovery “wow that’s so cool, what a shame I can’t access the paper”

A group of Lirainoaurus walks along the bed of a river This is something that I have discarded, but I still wanted to do a quick edit because it is an idea that I think is nice and maybe I will return to in the future

Happy #FossilFriday! I recently found out that you can access a magazine article on researchgate, which features my illustration of Oregramma illecebrosa!!! Enjoy! #paleoart #invertebrates #paleontology www.researchgate.net/publication/...

I just want science and art in here and there’s no scien se and art just the same old whining

Hey can y’all stop talking about US politics? Go on Twitter

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

Here is to the first week of the aquarium 🦐 From the addition of wood to the (fucking speedy) growth of plants, and onto the first cleaning and trim. Yesterday was about replanting the trimings to propagate to other areas and make the front bushier! #aquascaping #aquarium #aquascape #shrimptank

A recently completed illustration of a Tinselfish for today's #SundayFishSketch 🐡

Kradimus! very weird fish from Morocco, we still have no clue what it used those disproportionately long pectoral fins for done while in call with @/EnnieNovachrono (on twitter)!!! #sciart #paleoart #fish #fishart

Feel like I’m entering a new phase of being obsessed with underwater life

The dust settled a bit, the plants found their space and I did a bit of maintenance. It's the official first morning of my first tank ever (with @3lfig.bsky.social)! #aquascaping #aquarium #aquascape #plantedtank #shrimptank #aquarium
