A large predatory dinosaur, Allosaurus, breaks into a run alongside a shallow pond. Turtles and pterosaurs are seen in the foreground around the allosaur's feet, and stegosaurs and sauropods occur in the far distance. Ferns, cycadophytes and conifers comprise the vegetation.
A gloomy scene of Cambrian life. A field of tower-like sponges creates a set of obstacles for an all-star cast of Cambrian critters to swim and climb around, including anomalocarids, trilobites, lots of wormy things and the bizarre Opabinia.
Flying animals of the Yixian Formation: pterosaurs, birds, and insects compete for airspace over mountains and ginkgo treetops.
Deposits of the Cleveland Shale and the fossil animals they contain: among several species of Devonian sharks is the famous Dunkleosteus. Palaeontologists work to discover new fossils at the base of the cliff.
At #Patreon, I've been discussing my 2024 #paleoart murals for the Cleveland Museum of Natural History: www.patreon.com/markwitton. They include a life-size Allosaurus, Cambrian faunas, Yixian pterosaurs, birds and insects, Cleveland Shale strata and fishes...

Please enjoy the single most amazing quote from a paleontologist I have ever read: βThe animal literally cemented itselfβand its nether regionsβinto eternal history like the movie stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.β π§ͺ www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

Watercolor illustration. Two dark and starry creatures are happily sharing what looks like purple cosmic tea or soup in little cups. The larger one looks like a wingless dragon with a moon where the heart would be, and the smaller one has a goofy platypus-like bill, tiny wings, and a tail like a shooting star.
Soup! Soup! Cosmic soup!

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU
A collection of illustrations of crocodiles and alligators against a soft green and yellow background. They are playfully either swimming or loafing around, playing with fish, taking care of their young and chilling in the water. The crocodiles and alligators are mostly green and yellow, save for an albino alligator. Theyβre so loving and fun, these toothy friends!

Doctor Who fanart in watercolor. Fitz looking at a Lupari (a dog-like alien warrior) that looks like a Saint Bernard, while Anji is looking at a Lupari that looks like an angry chihuahua trying to lift their axe from the floor.
Inspired by a Doctor Who discussion about the Lupari where I mentioned it would be funny if they all looked like different types of dogs
Okay, here's a better look at the finished 15th Doctor.
The clock in the corner is getting crowded with Roman numerals, but I'm set for the next eight Doctors, at least.

Illustration of a white man walking down a hallway full of rusty mirrors, his back turned to the viewer, looking nervously over his shoulder, holding a gun. Monsters, eyes, teeth and handprints can be seen through the nearest mirrors. A little bit further in the corridor, a two-headed monster stands in the dark, waiting for the man to get closer.
Illustration of the same man exploring an abandoned and extremely foggy cemetery, walking down some stairs on a hillside with a church in the distance, an old cavalry sword in his right hand. He's eyeing the overgrown tombs suspiciously. Some of them are dug out. A humanoid figure is lurking behind one of the tombs, and a tall, knight-like figure with a rusty sword and a helmet impaled with several pointy spikes is slowly following the man in the foggy distance.

Yessss I need to read the new chapter
Ryan and Min in a green forest, looking out through some bamboo stalks. Ryan looks dubious; Minβs expression is a little more tired and sad. Below, two paper cutout figures of a red and blue oni pretend to fight. The red oni has a club.
Min falls to his knees, face contorted in unbearable horror, hands clenching at the air. Ryan rushes in to grab him.
A prototype version of the false conductorβs mech, looming over the viewer against a backdrop of rotting roof and orange sky.

The ryerunner, a predatory herbivore from an alien planet covered with wheat. Much of their diet comes from hunting other herbivores in order to steal their stomach contents.
