Bugguide photo of a "Thief weevil" (Attelabidae: Pterocolus sp) by user Metrioptera. He is a jolly iridescent turquoise and sort of rectangular in shape, with an unusually wide stance.
let's all take a moment to consider the Thief Weevil and his outrageous pantaloons
Even with the two additional votes for Centrosaurus on here, it seems that Spinosaurus has won this time!
Drawing of a javanese lichen stuck insect as seen from above. It's a mottled brown colour, with spread yellowy orange wings.
A close-up of the wing, showing the mottled brown upper wing and crinkled yellow wing.
A close-uo of the mottled brown abdomen.
Funky stick insect (Pseudodiacantha macklotti).
I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
Thank you!
Not part of the poll: train doodle on my way to the dentist. I think by now it is quite obvious that I have spinosaurs on my mind… 😅
Centrosaurus! :) I realised too late that I forgot to add the names 😅
Poll time! But since I don‘t know how to do a poll on here it‘s just four pictures and the comment section. Which of these should I start with wrapping up for Austria Comic Con (and further for DinoCon)? Art prints are the main goal!
Did a super cute art trade with Bark‘s Bog ( barks-bog.com ) for this super cute frog! He is now the most precious thing I own and I would die for him.
First event over! Not very profitable but kind of paid for itself, I learned some things to implement for Comic Con and overall it was alright! Booth looked a bit empty (I thought it would be smaller), but I made the best of it!
Preparations still fully underway (I am so tired)
😂😂😂
might as well just... add some additional panels
On the train to my root canal (dis)appointment and trying to distract myself. Save me, Baryonyx walkeri from the Early Cretaceous of the Weald Clay formation.
Look at themmm~
Preparations for the upcoming events are running! Too close to the pet expo to order business cards so I am making them myself!
Thank you so much! That Pseudoglomeris magnifica was a definite case of hyperfocus at the time, I could barely put my stylus down. :)
I love baryonychines. That is all.
Doodling, but what if…?
Apparently irl some fish have green/blue bones which is absolutely wild to me.
Thank you so much!
Yes please! ❤️
Just submitted the walking leaf. Can I only hand in one illustration per edition?
New spinosaur!
Anyways…
And done! Pretty happy with the lineup, now just to print business cards and sleeve them all!
I have decided that this falls marginally within #SciCom and needs to be part of #Invertefest so @franzanth.bsky.social sees it.

Artist! Quote with your yellow art! 💛 (Sure need to either finish or redo this one)
Six, so insect
I‘d like to imagine a pet dragon if that‘s okay.
6 bad doodles with text under each one. horseshoe crab is literally the animal horseshoe crab. shoehorse crab is a crab riding a shoe, cowboy style. crabshoe horse is a horse wearing literal crabs as shoes. shoecrab horse is a horse telling a crab to go away. crabhorse shoe is a pair of shoes, left one crab shaped, right one horse shaped. horsecrab shoe is literally the same pair of shoes, flipped.
