Achillobator giganticus pair. I was not able to finish this one and I probably won't for some time because I lost like 8 hours of progress and I'm mad. But no one else can tell probably

Wild turkey sketch, ballpoint. It was interesting to draw with all the wrinkles and texture-plus I randomly made it as big as possible so it took up the entire page-only A4, but still -3088 🎨🐡🪶 #art

Antifa is short for anti-father...the most hateful ideology there is

Dumb ahh fish😭

I'm losing it man this fish looks like a fucking moron

Didn't get the firefighter job simply because I told them I'm pro-fire. These purity tests are divisive and will get us nowhere

one funny thing about my life of STEM turbonerddom is that I never really went through a space phase. Alas, my aunt gave me a nasa shirt for christmas anyway

Squalicorax, the globally distributed Cretaceous crow shark.

Not really

Final boss of figures in academic papers that look like shitposts

People online will really be like “you believe in having principles? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, conceding every principle to build a winning coalition” and then not build a winning coalition

Potato potato

I like how many museums have an orthocone diorama

guess i should post a drawing now and then to remind myself i do draw 🪶 it's cropped from an american goldfinch drawing i did for avian august years ago. i still kinda like it 🙂‍↕️

What is the point of having cranks in the white House if they don't direct that energy to anything that might actually be interesting or lead to something

This fucking guy

Spinosaurus carrying its babies, inspired by modern crocodilians!

It is wild to me that no one ever talks about the fact that General Grievous' origin story in legends is that the leader of the space taliban/hamas dedicates his life to killing american operators after losing everything due to their intervention on his planet.

This is not true👍

Tangentially related, but may we all pray that one day we are rescued from this nightmare, and that Rey will resume making traditional art.

Creatures of the dark

I got sad thinking about the life of a tyrannosaurus today. Imagine spending the first third of your life as a speed demon, being of pure leg, and then over like 5 years chronic injuries and your sheer mass build up until you need to have one foot on the ground at all times.

Allosaurus fragilis (again)

It's crazy that Elon has been so annoying and gross that for a little bit in 2023 he made Mark Zuckerberg look good enough that people stopped calling him an evil reptile

While I'm on the subject, I've noticed a tendency to be really defensive about basically any and all paleomedia. The tone of a lot of it seems to suggest that people like me should be glad we're getting "content" of any kind, and I really just do not respect that pov at all, even if I understand it.

#Terrestrisuchus is a "terrestrial" crocodilomorphan #croc with elongated distal limb segments that are closely bound and not splayed as in extant crocs, producing elongate, stilt-like legs. Shown here galloping. One of my favorite all time #paleoart #sciart pieces.

Anyway, I know I haven't said anything about WWD 2. And that was pretty intentional, but this is mostly what I think

Something very special arrived in the mail today: two vividly illustrated 1994 foldout posters featuring Steve Kirk’s wonderful artwork. I’ve been on the hunt for a high quality version of the theropod image for years and finally found it, the pterosaur one was totally new to me. They’re incredible!

Cystoids always look like alien egg pods.

#Paleoart from 2018 for #FossilFriday, a group of Mystriosuchus steinbergeri pursue fish around a Triassic lagoon. Phytosaurs like these are meant to be freshwater species, but M. steinbergeri didn't get the memo: aspects of their fossil preservation hint at marine habits. #sciart #fossil
