Even with the two additional votes for Centrosaurus on here, it seems that Spinosaurus has won this time!

Funky stick insect (Pseudodiacantha macklotti).

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Not part of the poll: train doodle on my way to the dentist. I think by now it is quite obvious that I have spinosaurs on my mind… 😅

Poll time! But since I don‘t know how to do a poll on here it‘s just four pictures and the comment section. Which of these should I start with wrapping up for Austria Comic Con (and further for DinoCon)? Art prints are the main goal!

Did a super cute art trade with Bark‘s Bog ( barks-bog.com ) for this super cute frog! He is now the most precious thing I own and I would die for him.

First event over! Not very profitable but kind of paid for itself, I learned some things to implement for Comic Con and overall it was alright! Booth looked a bit empty (I thought it would be smaller), but I made the best of it!

Preparations still fully underway (I am so tired)

might as well just... add some additional panels

On the train to my root canal (dis)appointment and trying to distract myself. Save me, Baryonyx walkeri from the Early Cretaceous of the Weald Clay formation.

Look at themmm~

Preparations for the upcoming events are running! Too close to the pet expo to order business cards so I am making them myself!

I love baryonychines. That is all.

Doodling, but what if…?

Apparently irl some fish have green/blue bones which is absolutely wild to me.

New spinosaur! Anyways…

And done! Pretty happy with the lineup, now just to print business cards and sleeve them all! I have decided that this falls marginally within #SciCom and needs to be part of #Invertefest so @franzanth.bsky.social sees it.

Artist! Quote with your yellow art! 💛 (Sure need to either finish or redo this one)

#InvertebrateShitposting as per @joabaldwin.com's request

This is not related to anything at all.

In other news: I found treasure!

It is kind of official: I‘ll have a table at #AustriaComicCon 2026 in Wels! Someone can‘t attend and sold me their spot! I am beyond thrilled and now super hyped to start producing things for beginning of May! :D

Last illustration for this print series (for now) started! Any guesses? :3 Also, I might spontaneously inherit an artist table at #AustriaComicCon in May, I'm not panicking at all! (He said, panicking quite a lot) Oh and I just remembered that hashtags are a thing: Is #InverteFest still a thing?

Pulchriphyllium giganteum is done and being printed! Fingers crossed these sell well, had a dentist appointment today and that won‘t be cheap 🫠

every shot-on-video, made-with-a-camcorder horror movie that's just some teenage friend group fucking around in the woods with some fake blood and a monster mask contains more artistic merit, human joy and creative light than anything AI has ever made or will ever, ever make

JUMP! (WIP animation for our game, Zid Journey :) #gamedev)

Art prints are coming along! A5, three versions so far and a fourth planned before the expo at the end of February!

Founders of modern paleontology, and their contributions to systemic racism, classism and sexism (🧵) Henry Osborn (1857–1935), responsible for naming of Tyrannosaurus & Velociraptor; president of ANHM. Co-founder of the American Eugenics Society. Contributing to books later praised by Hitler.

I have procured an egg.

Taught my partner how to bind books and I could not be prouder of how well they did. Look at this!!!

We drawing stoats

The world’s on fire. Here’s my living fossil ladies dancing with their reflections

Guys, gals and nonbinary pals: I need to share this with y'all. I have taken up the huge task (for me) to learn drawing human(oid)s this year to be able to comfortably draw my players' and my own D&D characters. And here's is the result of first a loose sketch from memory and then using references.

That‘s the spirit.

While turning my old Veterupristisaurus model into Neovenator (with input from @danpalaeon.bsky.social, thanks again!) I couldn't help but think of all those 'dino vs. dino' posts online and how overrated carnivores are. That's an adult Iguanodon bernissartensis next to it. Puny meat eater. :D

You know palaeontology online spheres are dominated by men, with a big name being outed as a peado accomplice, the first thing they comment on are "I never agreed with his stance on T.rex" & "I preferred Bakker/Gould anyway" And not "The field is rotten to the core with sex pests and weird men"

I may have signed up for a table at @dinoconuk.bsky.social today. Fingers crossed! Would be a lot of fun vending there and meeting some of you lovely folks!

Omgomg

Happy birthday!

Five jobs I‘ve had: Store salesperson Zookeeper Info guide Scientific assistant Vivarium conceptualisation, construction and upkeep

Older drawing from c. 2012/13. The great thing about it is that each time I re-share it, you know exactly whom the squishstain could represent.

Quick sketch of a White-breasted Nuthatch for Yardwatcher on reddit/ko-fi. 🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

Back to basics.

Spa day for Styracosaurus (fixing seams on my printed model)

Custom pins for my partner and me for tonight‘s #Regenbogenball2026

Dragon, you say? Have this Kazilik inspired sketch I did yesterday (based loosely on an image I had in my head when reading Naomi Novik's 'His Majesty's Dragon' series).
