The Words You Say A commune of Homo floresiensis on the beach of Flores island 75.000 years ago.

When travelling in open water by boat, adventurers beware of a creature capable of killing sailors from a distance, luring them into the water to eat them using their unique, possibly vocalisations: the Mermaid (Sirena uroscelis). Another Dungeon Meshi piece, hope you like it! :>

A species adventurers dread to encounter in the dungeon, not necessarily because of the direct danger they pose, but because of the possibilities their presence indicates, either the larger predators they follow or the disease their feces can spread: the Harpy (Foeminornis gynotops). #dungeonmeshi

Incubomurum domus, commonly known as "house meat", is an amorphous vertebrate that lodges itself in the empty spaces of buildings. Originally evolved in caves, it quickly adapted to human dwellings and their ample feeding opportunities. They may also cause structural instabilities to the foundation.

Slithering through the lush reefs and seagrass meadows of the Indian Ocean lurks a slow, calculating predator, one of the biggest and most dangerous one can find in these waters. The largest non-tiamat snake of the Artechocene, the Tyrant Shesha (Nagaraja imperator).

Thanks to @ranboo.bsky.social for having me on to participate in the Generation Loss project! I made a bunch of images you can find throughout the website www.thefoundergame.com!

Had a lot of fun with the Dryads, so I'm making another dungeon Meshi piece :>

Growing in the lower levels on surfaces with enough light and water available, the Dryad plant (Anthaie anthropoides) may first seem like unassuming vines. However, the wonder, and danger, of this plant comes during its flowering stage, with complex mobile flowers ready to attack would-be threats.

Sketching some Artechocene herbivore ideas: a frilled deer which grow multiple antlers around it; a venomous small antelope that whose toxins derive from its diet; an ungulate that uses neural spines with keratin tubercles to fight conspecifics and predators and a brotopakinus, an aquatic hyrax.

Really interesting article about animals that died from eating prey that was too large

hello, back to drawing

Just before things started to nosedive on twitter, I posted a thread that walked through the massive body of work I did over the last three years (on an inspiring team) on the cancelled Project Dragon aka Everhaven. For posterity I reckon I'll repost that thread, piece by piece, over here ✨

No one: Still no one: Me: What if leaf tailed gecko, but the leaf is carnivorous? #specevo #specbio #sciart #lizard #uroplatus #leaftailedgecko

first art of 2025 is a fish! starting off strong a female Oncorhynchus rastrosus, the spike-toothed salmon. it's commonly misrepresented as a massive sockeye salmon with tusks slapped on, but we know that they didnt undergo any drastic levels of sexually dimorphic remodelling #sciart #fishart

A late addition to this series of concept sketches for my personal Kerguela project: some Cenozoic critters. Beaked sloths, giant Parankylosaurs, non-mammalian cynodonts, and much more. #specevo #art #cenozoic

I've been lousy at posting new art this year, so here's something #paleoart -related that I've been tinkering with between other jobs. What is this weird, #dinosaur -like animal? My patrons know (rattle rattle: www.patreon.com/markwitton), and you might too, one day. #sciart

Stillborn Venus

First piece of the year! Aang riding the Elephant Koi

That's a weird looking flower... (WIP)

Extremely high effort Lilin revamp in the style of a scientific illustration. Although she's heavily inspired by sea slugs and copopods (among other aquatic, "squish" invertabrates as I call them), she's not supposed to be one specifically. Just a fictional brain parasite #InverteFest

This is so cool - this study used Chinese poetry to reconstruct 1400 years of range change for the Yangtze finless porpoise, and showed that most of the range loss happened in the last century papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Seabirds of the Artechocene (Wip)

Some time ago I had an idea for a paleoart book that I would love to write together with a poet. On one page they would write a little about a painting of mine, the next I would paint something based on their poetry. A constant back and fourth.

Brought my big city bunny to a farm to have a taste of the rural life and make some country friends ✨

Oof, took some time to label these and touch up some rough spots. But here it is, the Mazon Creek #paleostream piece. This was, again, a piece that barely scratches the surface.

Let's try this and see if we can answer every one :> Might use this for a "meet the artist" type of drawing

gonna try posting on bluesky every now and then, hello !! i'm een marine and i love to draw my sona and yume art! ♡ #artist #vtuber

Post your most popular art from twitter Also using this as an excuse to give my Pteranodon piece a post on its own. Love this flying goofball

A fallen Liriodendrites occidentalis, a Cretaceous species related to our extant Tulip Trees (Magnoliaceae), is a rare treat for the relatively small Ceratopsian Turanoceratops, whos' fossils were found at the Bissekty Formation of Uzbekistan.

Post your most popular art from twitter Not my best post of this "Cryptid deep sea footage" miniseries I made but it's the first and definitely the most popular, an encounter with an Steller's Sea Ape

The trees seem to move on their own without wind starting off strong with one of my favorites!! #paleoart #procreate #digitalart #pterosaurs

Result from the Shanwang formation #paleostream! Here I show the place during autumn, a scenario we weren't able to show yet. It's an interesting time of year to cover, not only because of the novel colors in the flora but also the behaviors that many ungulates show during this time.

Results from the #paleostream Propalorchestes, Parakannemeyeria, Sutekhsuchus and Peytoia (giving birth)

More drawings from this year's Spectember, the second week! Here are four Artechocene creatures: a giant carnivorous cricket from Antarctica; an orchid from the Muraanad forests of the Somalian subcontinent; a seagoing filter feeding duck ; and an arctic semi-aquatic rodent.

Continuing with the backlog. Pierre Shale offers one of the best windows into the Western Interior Seaway.

Its #PortfolioDay again! I'm Eqüietum a 2D and 3D digital artist specialized in creature design and making fucked up shit. (reposting this here.)

"Tanto dolor, tanto sufrimiento... Y aún así, siento que lo que hay en mí puede seguir creciendo". Dibujo de mi OC Ray en acuarelas, gouache y acrílico. #dinosaurart #oc

I'm a big fan of island faunas and Pleistocene to Holocene Cuba is a TREAT! #paleostream

I'm gonna start by posting the drawings I've been doing for Spectember, here's the first week, 6 Artechocene creatures followed by a fanart of The New Dinosaurs :>

Oh wow so many new people here! I might just restart posting here again too :>

A new pieces from my #MonkeyCruise series, in which I portray extinct primates in compositions inspired by classics of art history. Here two Meganthropus meet in the canopy.

"Eye of The Ningen" In the waters near the Southern Ocean, a Chilean research ship deploys a deep-sea rover near Point Nemo, almost 3000 kilometres away from the nearest coastline. After a slow and uneventful descent, at 2,213m, something enters the field of view of the camera. (+)

Hi! I'm Alejandro, I like giving life to extinct critters or ones that haven't existed (yet), here's some of my bluest drawings hope you like them!! :>
