Onwards to UV unwrapping we go... fun fun fun /s

Only able to work on small bits at a time due to time constraints, but we have a face that looks like a face now (so eloquent, wow). Beef boy. No wonder they got eaten so much.

Well-preserved Triceratops skulls have a sharp falloff on the rear frill from a vascular texture to "scooped out" cavities. It is likely these cavities were filled out by neck musculature. Many reconstructions overlook them, ending up with necks that are prorbably far too skinny.

These two models are almost ten years apart. First one was the first Triceratops I ever sculpted (for the Isle, at the time). Second one is the current in-progress model based on the mounted 'Hatcher' skeleton at the Smithsonian. Good to see how far I've come.

"Hatcher" is coming along nicely. It's taking forever to place the muscles, but I'd much rather do this approach now than carve away at a bigger block. Bonus appearance by my puppy boy, Ankylosaurus (who needs finishing too). 1/20 scale print, anyone? We'll see.

Reposing/articulating the Smithsonian Triceratops mount (available for download on their Sketchfab page: sketchfab.com/.../tricerat.... ) certainly was not on my bingo card for today. But here we are. A solid new baseline for me to work off of. For... reasons.

Leaving Pridesopods around #Eurofurence today, go and get some if you like!

Fuck it, I love you II

Hiding stickers at #Eurofurence, if you catch me and want one, just say hi! I‘ll have some more with me later tonight :)

We all share a common enemy.

Stickers ready for EuroFurence 2025

I may or may not be getting ready for Eurofurence 2025 right now. Do I have any furry art of significance to show? No. Am I technically a paleoartist? Yes. Am I still preparing something for the con? Absolutely.

Dillbert the T. rex Quick doodle before bed.

Oh whoops, I completely blanked on sharing the new isopod illustrations on here??? Anyway, here are Cubaris sp. Rubber Ducky, C. sp. Amber Ducky and C. sp. Cherry Blossom. The Rubber Duckies have already been turned into stickers, still need to set up the other two. #sciart #invertefest

Ah, retopology. How I have missed you (this is both genuine and sarcastic - Schrödinger's retopology). Necessary evil, partially excrutiating and partially cathartic. Suchomimus tenerensis in progress. I will try to bake textures in Substance Painter this time, that'll be a learning curve.

Posting regularly is a struggle and my ADHD brain works on really bad object permanence. That being said, here is Suchomimus tenerensis, with which I got lost in scales today after trying to figure a few things out. Heavy reptilian influence and I like it!

Beep boop zorp~ Transopods loading…

Finally back to Bisopod production! Other Pridesopods following soon!

Mission Cricut was a success! I‘ll do some more prints today to see if I get consistent results, but I‘m calling this a good start!

I present to you: Grumpert. A little painting practice that turned into a sticker design! New printer was tested last night and the accompanying desk plotter is being set up today!

Seeing as how I'm stuck time-wise at the moment (with renovations, moving and other issues), I keep forgetting to upload already done renders. Here's Iguanodon bernissartensis for your enjoyment.

EDIT: Reupload because Bluesky wrecked the resolution I have been spending some time lately (amidst moving, renovating and other chaos) to set up a way for me to showcase my 3D models nicely for a portfolio situation. Starting here with Parasaurolophus walkeri! More to come in the near future!

Wasn't planning on this, but here we are. For those of you who followed me on other social media platforms, Cricket might be an OC of mine you recognise. Initially I only wanted to sculpt a bust of her as a little exercise, as usual I am escalating and now have to commit to this. V. mongoliensis

We do a little dogging. percy (2022), commission for ruedi

We should change to summertime on the first of April because they're both a stupid joke

Just a general plea: if you feel compelled to share hoaxes tomorrow (April 1), PLEASE make sure they are so over-the-top and tongue-in-cheek that the neurodivergents in the audience are clear that you aren't being serious.

Fix Your Hearts Or Die! I'm transgender, I draw dinosaurs for a living, and I'm very tired and very angry. I was hoping to finish this for #TransDayOfVisibility but alas I'm not going to make it. It should be finished in a day or two and then I'll have prints and stickers. #Paleoart #SciArt

Happy trans day of visibility! #tdov

Check this out!!!

Death heron coming along. Thanks to some comments from Lewis Larosa I decided to make the muscle outlines more prominent landmarks and will now lay out basic fold topology for the skin before bulking those up. Also incorporated a bit of the new work by Sharpe et al. 2025 into the mix.

May I present: the new base of operations. @rm-puddlefarmer.bsky.social for scale.

The muscle buildup stage is done and the mesh is unified. Adding layers of subcutaneous fat and fascia/other tissue on top to bulk it up some more. I think next step will be retopology so I have that out of the way before getting into too much detail. PS.: Those meat hooks are no joke, wth

I just spent my birthday with the most amazing people and drunkenly cried on my way home because I don‘t know how I deserve them.

How does Lucas not have more followers yet, can y'all please get over there?

In case anyone was wondering what the guy behind this yellow lizard face looks like. Fancy elevator always calls for a selfie.

Just a bit of a turnaround to pretend I'm @villesinkkonen.bsky.social. This one is shaping up nicely, even if it's taking me quite a while and it just started due to @sketchy-raptor.bsky.social drawing Suchomimus and talking about its ridiculous size.

We have feet, we have claws and I replaced the skull and mandible with slightly stylised versions that are symmetrical.

Every time I am at the NHM Vienna, this gives me agony. 1/3

Behold: a man.

There is something big in the works. And by that I do not just mean this Brachiosaurus altithorax that I'm working on and that is quickly taking shape. :3

Just to prove that I am still alive: Have Godzilla's ancestor, Tiktaazilla. I'm kind of stuck in preparations for moving house/county and loads of things to figure out, but I think of Bluesky fondly and want to come back to posting regularly soon. <3

Since someone with that exact tagline just followed me here: I am NOT a safe space for generative A*I, cry*pto and NF*T bullshit. Get your ass out of here, I don't care. I don't want your following, I don't want your posts, I don't want to have to go to your page and block you. Just leave me alone.

To answer the question whether elephants or sauropods are better. You are welcome. (I do not have favourites and I cannot make a decision, I am bisexual after all. But extinct kaiju sized snakelizard is objectively ridiculously cool)
