Digital Illustration of a tanystropheus floating over a purple to blue gradient rectangle on an off white background. Tanystropheus is a long-necked triassic reptile, with short, splayed legs and a disproportionately long neck. The drawing is stylized, putting bends in the longer extremities. Its head faces left, its body gathered beneath it to form a reverse C shape. In the bottom right corner is a watermark reading: โ€œLEAVES AND INKSโ€

I should've made the neck longer but I'm a amateur, this challenge is a learning experience for me :)

RULES
- Each week is a period of the mesozoic, draw as many or as few creatures from the time period as you'd like!!
- wild card means draw any prehistoric creature, mesozoic or not!! (I'll probably be sticking to that time frame but we'll see, but as for you, do whatever you want forever)
- No AI

Two bunnies ride on the shell of an enormous snail, as it makes its way through a patch of mushrooms in the fall. The mushrooms and plants around them are also giant, so it's possible that the bunnies are just tiny and everything else is normal size

Digitally illustrated character sheet showcasing a green tiefling in several drawings. Leaf has a layered, shoulder-length hairstyle inverted, lime green eyes, horns that turn slightly outwards and point up at the ends, and droopy ears. She also has a few piercings, a long, downturned nose, and a vine like tattoo framing in her face and showing up on other areas of her body. The first illustration (left to right) The shows Leaf in Baldurโ€™s Gate Threeโ€™s Act two. She wears naturalistic armor, and has a long sword in one hand propped over her shoulders, and in the other, a ball of light that floats above it and in front of them. Leafโ€™s tail wraps around her legs, and she looks downward, teeth bared and uneasy. Around the scene are wisps of turquoise light. In the top right corner is Leaf floating in space, faced away from the viewer and to the left, curled up in a ball. Theyโ€™re not wearing a shirt. Behind them, slightly faded is a mindflayer tadpole turning the opposite direction. In the bottom left corner is an illustration of a tortoiseshell cat with bright green eyes. Itโ€™s sitting, its back turned away but its head facing the viewer. In the bottom right corner is a bust of Leaf, facing 3/4 and head tilted slightly. They have a neutral, but pleasant expression. Underneath the bust in handwritten bubble letters is the word โ€œLEAFโ€.  The entire piece sits on a light green background with a cream border.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Digital illustration of a giraffe weevil with a monochromatic red background floating on a similarly colored red rectangle on a pinkish background.

In the bottom left corner is a watermark reading: โ€œLEAVES AND INKSโ€

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
