Serina: Tree Gup
When snarks rafted to the continent of Serinaustra ten million years ago, they, and many new immigrants to the defrosting lands, discovered a slate wiped clean, with endless food, no competition, and a balmy climate. It was a perfect petri dish from which the small populations that had been lucky enough to be carried by the sea to such prosperit...

Euparkeria
Another conceptual illustration for the cast of the CAZ story in eternal development hell which I drew back in 2017. This one everyone should probably know, since it featured in an episode of Walking with Monsters (although depicted living anachronistically in the slightly earlier Lystrosaurus Assemblage Zone).
This anima...

Serina: Creeping Spikeray
At the end of the ice age, snarks proliferated in the ecological vacuum of this catastrophic upheaval and spread to every corner of the globe. In the seas, they conquered ever niche from tiny worm-like bottom feeders to the most massive predators, while the gupgops rafted from distant lands to the southern continent of Serinaustra, where they ra...

Creeping Spikeray (WIP 2)
In case you're wondering or hoping, you'll be able to commission snark ideas from me if you so desire, probably after this and the tree gup are done.

King Cane
(Just to reiterate, this was a commission)
“The final sin of Herakles International, the sadistic hybrid designated FROGSPAWN-05 or “King Cane” was created from the same basic genome as his “brother” Lancealotl, but grew well beyond his creator’s intent into a relentlessly domineering and patently sadistic beast. Free from any ...

Dinosaur Scene Sketches
So back in 2017 and 2018 I was on a bit of a dinosaur art binge and I had a lot of ideas for unconventional situations and interactions, or just obscure species, in terms of palaeoart. If you've seen my DeviantArt gallery, you'll notice I did in fact put a lot of them down, but there were a lot more ideas that I didn't get to. The first three we...

King Cane (Concept Art)
Coloured sketch for a commission of a salamander kaiju OC named "King Cane". Just to be clear, this isn't technically the actual commission, this is just the flat, rough artwork to decide what his design looks like.
2023-02-22 06:49:58 +0000 UTC View PostR'lyeh: Strider Tongues
Someone asked what the striders looked like with their prehensile tongues fully extended so I gave them a sketch of it. Then, I cleaned up the sketch and coloured it and made this, and now everyone here can see it.
The exact structure varies slightly between strider species, but here's a typical one possessed by the nebulous strider. Flesh...

Apparently, I never released the writing for this one either? Huh, that's weird, must've slipped my mind again...
The last paragraph is of dubious canonicity, I intended to make a post about Diyu organisms in captivity, but obviously I never got around to it.

Another very old illustration I did for my Cynognathus Assemblage Zone story. This one was a little bit of a cheat, because it didn't technically live in South Africa like the others, as far as I know, but it's found in a contemporary fossil formation in Antarctica, which was conjoined with South Africa at the time and shares some of th...

This is the illustration of the regal skulossus used for reference for the river dragon hunting scene, imperious river dragon for scale (brontocorn also present for additional scale). This is the second largest skulossus species, behind only the monarch skulossus.
Quite a substantial animal, it would be a rather difficult catch for a river...
2023-02-19 09:11:42 +0000 UTC View PostSerina: Dragon Attack
(Just to reiterate, this was a commission)
A pair of sub-adult regal skulossi forage for aquatic vegetation in the shallows along the fringe of a wetland region somewhere in the Central Soglands. Although they travel in large herds, they often disperse over a wide area to forage more solitarily, and these two have ventured away from the sh...

Dragon Attack (WIP 5)
TO DO:
- add osteoderms to the skulossi
- add small flying birds
- add environment (obviously)
- add water effects and other detailing
- add shadows
- possibly add third skulossus in distant background

FOM: Titanosaurus (Concept Art)
Coloured sketch of Titanosaurus; this design was adapted more or less wholesale into the final version, although I did complete redraw it because the sketch didn't scale up very well.
Titanosaurus was one of the earliest kaiju designed for the project, and its design stemmed from trying to avoid redesigns that just turned Titanosaurus into...
