i imagine they’d act much like seals but beachgoers would walk up to them as if they were geese

A fish (Qikiqtania) with a long head ambushes another fish (Tiiktalik) that crawls on land in a primordial forest filled with horsetails and clubmosses.

A fish (Qikiqtania) with a long head ambushes another fish (Tiiktalik) that crawls on land in a primordial forest filled with horsetails and clubmosses.

Qikiqtania attempts to prevent brother Tiktaalik from making a terrible mistake. Unlike Tiktaalik, Qikiqtania remained waterbound and could not support its weight on land.

A swordfish-like creature with a toothy mouth, bladelike fins and a silvery body swims alongside a shoal of its kin.

A swordfish-like creature with a toothy mouth, bladelike fins and a silvery body swims alongside a shoal of its kin.

Protosphyraena, the edgiest fish of the Western Interior Seaway. Not only does it have a swordfish's needle-sharp bill, its mouth is armed with teeth and its pectoral fins are serrated. the whole front half is weaponized!

honestly as long as we get one singular ceratopsian in full view i’d be satisfied, gives us a good baseline for what other genera might look like!

Javelina maybe? It’s got a lot of the β€œmain” dinosaur groups aside from stegosaurs; stick the camera on a tree next to a watering hole in the dry season and you’d probably get some good stuff

i’ve always wondered about, like, art merch in cons like this in general. Like acrylic charms and enamel pins where the artist’s *work* may be on them, but who actually *made* the items? how were they treated while making them?

these days, will any nature documentary? i don’t feel like you see much in the way of, like β€œguts spilling out of live animals” in *any* big production, at least not these days

Horde Prime; an angry-looking alien man with green teeth, three green eyes on the left side of his face, "thanos-ish" lines under his chin and a skull-like nose and elf ears. His hair is sort of like tentacles, I think.

A 40-minute art trade for Perfect_Lavender!

This is Horde Prime from the Netflix She-Ra show.

β€ͺGecqua is totally a golden-tailed gecko imo, both secrete fluids from their tails! i think it's an interesting direction to, instead of making the water starter semi-aquatic, make it based off an animal that weaponizes liquid

Ohhhhh look at those gnarly looking plates! what inspired that texture?

browt is funny. not sure what it's going for but it almost reminds me of a finch or a grosbeak, and i'm curious to see what direction they could take a passerine starter...

When rendering a cartoony character realistic, there's a line between cute and weird. I tried to keep it cute
