#Paleoctober2025 day 8 paleoart sketch of the noasaurid dinosaur Masiakasaurus. #Paleoctober #Paleoart #Dinosaur #Masiakasaurus

A nice warm fall day in the neighborhood, but unfortunately that also means swarms of blue aphids. They got in my eyes.

The cats had a really great early fall walk today.

My next video is up, featuring artwork from @brandonpilcher.bsky.social @talesofkaimere.bsky.social Emily Stepp Paleoart on YouTube and Nickroraptor on YouTube (1/4) youtu.be/DMuYXIy8qgE?...

I'm so excited! The company sent me the cards I illustrated for the Jurassic Park Trading Card Game booster deck "Silent Giant" along with some other goodies! Here's all 13 cards! Mostly dinosaurs, but some other fun creatures too. #JurassicPark #JurassicParkTradingCardGame #JPTCG

Since I never played either series, I have a very hard time remembering the difference between Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts and flipflop them a lot.

I might need to ignore so many things to keep from having a mental breakdown, but one thing I'm not allowed to ignore is Jam. She's broody and mad I locked her out of the coop for a couple hours today so she will eat enough. She jumped onto my shoulder to tell me how mad she is about it.

Point of view.

First quick paleoart sketch for #Paleoctober2025 with the Cretaceous insect Libanoculex. #Paleoart #Paleoctober #Libanoculex

Scutosaurus, Leptoceratops, Alioramus, Estemmenosuchus, and Camarasaurus dinosaur cards I illustrated for the Jurassic Park Trading Card Game booster deck "Silent Giant" #JurassicPark #JurassicParkTradingCardGame #JPTCG #Dinosaur

I smashed one of my fingers in the chicken coop door this morning. I'm realizing how often I have to use that particular finger to type.

Microraptor card I illustrated for the Jurassic Park Trading Card Game booster deck "Silent Giant." Such a fun little feathered retro dinosaur. #JurassicPark #JurassicParkTradingCardGame #Microraptor #JPTCG

I thought one of my hens was sick, turns out she was just broody. I was worried about her drinking a bunch of water and not seeing her egg each day anymore despite not looking like she's molting, yeah it's because she's broody.

@marabrownwd.bsky.social Protoceratops design. Still some dinosaurs in the backlog I need to post. #Dinosaur #Protoceratops #SciFi

I'm really happy with how the Alioramus dinosaur card I illustrated for the Jurassic Park Trading Card Game booster deck "Silent Giant" turned out. Website: jurassicparkcard.com #Alioramus #JurassicPark #JPTCG #Dinosaur

Was lucid dreaming today and taking great care to notice details. I could change the setting by going through doors, but unless I really focused the entire dream flickered at a low frame rate. Anyone notice how hard it is to keep a consistent setting in a lucid dream? Difficult to stay asleep.

Here's a good look at the Leptoceratops card I illustrated (just the dinosaur) for the Jurassic Park Trading Card Game. The booster pack Silent Giant with my cards and a bunch of other artists' recently released! Website: jurassicparkcard.com #Leptoceratops #JurassicPark #JPTCG #Dinosaur

Cat-faced spiders and spider-faced cat.

What is that sound? It’s FINALLY the sound of this year’s #Paleoctober in barging in! One simple rule: each day, you will draw an extinct species, and explore the tree of life in the process. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #Paleoctober2025 so that I can boost! Good luck! #paleoart #SciArt

Design study of early and recent movie Tyrannosaurus rex. King Kong 1933 "Meat-Eater" and Jurassic World Rebirth 2025 "Ember" for DracoTyrannus. #Tyrannosaurus #Trex #Tyrannosaurusrex #Dinosaur #Retrosaur #KingKong #JurassicWorldRebirth

Procreate updated and now everything is slightly wrong. My brain is on fire lol

@marabrownwd.bsky.social Pteranodon design. Still some creatures in the backlog I need to post. #Paleoart #Pteranodon #Pterosaur #Scifi

So something that prevents me from raising animals for meat (other than the fact I'm pescetarian) is that my partner says he wouldn't want to eat animals we raise because he'd be too attached. Which yeah I get that, that's why I quit eating chicken when I was a teenager.

Next dossier for James Conlon's Age of Monsters. This time it's Pulp: Chthonic Underground featuring lots of speculatively evolved mostly blind troglobites. #Worldbuilding #Creatures

In between doomscrolling, I make sure to take breaks to draw dinosaurs.

We got a new couch, and there's something weird in there.

What a full year of being safe and loved does for a cat after being stray for years.

I drew these zucchinis.

Star Wars Acklay design study commissioned by DracoTyrannus. #StarWars #Acklay

I grew these zucchinis.

Sneaking past a sleeping T. rex illustration commissioned by Sunfyre_II (on twitter) of a scene featuring characters from the book they're writing titled "Acheron." #Trex #Tyrannosaurus #Tyrannosaurusrex #Dinosaur #Tyrannosaur #Paleoillustration #Paleoart #Paleofantasy #Illustration

Booked my flu and covid boosters at Walgreens. Was a pretty easy check box to say I have a chronic condition (I'm overweight lol) but there shouldn't be that barrier. Anyone who doesn't actively want to get covid ought to be eligible. I hate the politicization of healthcare.

I get nervous every time I draw fish that I'm gonna do it wrong.

Amphibian creature concept for Creethefurry on DeviantArt. #Creature

Speedpaint study of the dragon from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad for Greg Noneman.

Speculative evolution / fantasy worldbuilding speedpaint for David Glenn's new video on his gigantic ceratopsian known as the Nyangoni. You can watch the video about this species here: youtu.be/j-GjsdBlaN8 #SpecEvo #SpeculativeEvolution #Dinosaur #Worldbuilding

@marabrownwd.bsky.social Utahraptor design that I don't think I ever posted. #Dinosaur #Utahraptor

What do you think they're saying here?

The mutant Glaucus Fish from Opal's Inlet by Billy Read. #Creature #Monster

Finally was able to watch The Jurassic Games: Extinction and it was truly phenomenal. Everything I could've wanted it to be. Already loved the first movie, but everything is improved in this one from the effects to the acting all the way to the story. 10/10

People absolutely will take everything you say in the least charitable way they can so that's why a lot of the time I just don't say anything at all. I get caught up in an anxiety hole of people being mad at me any time I said something growing up. I guess that is still true.
