Following the new gait it seems fairly natural. Any real issues I had with it were removed the moment the rest of the body was animated as I thought they'd be when viewing the animation presented with the paper.
Also Apatosaurus gets to terrifying sizes.
Somethingsomething many ways to conjure up one single animal and many modes of representation. Maybe we shall think of a more contemporary/psychedelic take on a desert sky and a Dilophosaurus whose proportions are purposefully skewed and colors it might not even have. But

gonna be with this

style post on Saivodus, the giant ctenacanthiform of the Carboniferous-Permian! HAPPY

all!!! From a big smiling bitch.
Gay Allosaurus time!!! Also based on a pretty cool thesis about possible familial lives of Allosaurus ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโ๐

Nothing to say but EXCEPTIONALLY honored by this mention!!! Just floored to be a cool woman in science, even as an artist with a dream and sheer wonder in her eyes ๐ฅบโค๏ธ
KINNEY BRICK QUARRY THREAD LESSGOOO. Alright all, the Carboniferous-Permian was an "Age of Sharks" and even though not everything here is even a neoselachian, the shoe fits! Kinney is an incredible site from the Late Pennsylvanian that is being criminally slept on!
Palestine also has an incredible palaeontological history for those who are interested! The Amminadav Formation and its amazing fish, marine snakes and all those little Bois present an amazing snapshot of life 95 million years ago! So many PYCNODONTS
Time for a take on mixed-genre sketching for a change, inspired by the series of legends about Dilophosaurus, and "Eubrontes"-grade tracks and their role in the mythology of Pueblo and Navajo peoples, as well as ideas of eldritch horror that cannot easily be understood, as well
And now we come to the monster of Fossil Hill and the largest animal in the Anisian, possibly, the mighty Cymbospondylus youngorum. This loving mother plays with her child in a scene that I wanted to be gentle and tender while maintaining the majesty of the leviathan

These things have been popping up where I live in Melbourne too and some people FILMED us taking them down and tried to take a rather neutral stance to what we were doing and we got into an argument there on the sidewalk, though also they seemed to regurgitate the anti-Palestine

I have a story about this btw. So my friend and I were in the human chain, and he was carrying the flag. I joined him and carried it with him to Gate Zero. And then as we went the other way, some of the disabled soldiers we passed in their tent, made an issue about us carrying
Another question I have. Some paleo friends and I have been discussing a bit of stuff on the "Dilophosaurus" sinensis here (LDM-LAC 10) and the fact that it is in a tussle with a sauropodomorph whose identity eludes me. I have never seen a description of the sauropodomorph so
Brother Bear IS in fact paleomedia, and very UNDERRATED paleomedia at that! Tbh the showcase of the spirits of nature in the AURORA and walking, swimming and flying through it, was so beautifully inspirational and triggered a love of auroras and winter landscapes in me for years

I guessss with something OLD af of Camptosaurus because uhhh...I have hardly any art tools, my charcoal is reduced to inch-long stubs, and I have no more sketchbooks or even paint and it's travel restriction hours ๐ฅด๐๐พ
Gotagogama moment: transphobic asswipe (some bald, cis man who called himself some Captain Tennakoon or something, idk WHAT even) tells me to get off the stage near the SWRD statue, saying that HE was the one who got it built and that people like myself should stay away from

No. No. Please. Please no. Please don't. Don't. No. No. I am telling you, it is barely even comparable. What is happening in the north and east is massacre and colonization, a silencing of protests and dissent with violence. Do NOT compare the two. At all.
Something I wanna imagine is giant crinoids like Seirocrinus growing from the rotting flesh of a giant Early Jurassic sauropod corpse (16-meter or 18-meter corpse) as it decays, bloats and falls to pieces.

They don't. The Battle of Kurukshetra is all mythology and it was added to by several authors over the centuries. Every poet and sage in India worth his salt, rishi or not, added something to it. And so you have this ridiculously huge war that spread out over eighteen days and

I guess and I am OKAYYYY with this but still

artwork of Helicoprion, a gigantic GIGANTIC animal when you think about it, because these things got up to 10-12 meters in length and probably insanely heavy, maybe 30 or 40 tonnes even ๐ค๐ค๐ค
I like hybodonts but dear god when I remember that the classification and taxonomy of these is fucked sideways into the Permian extinction uhhhhm...symbolically DIE Lonchidion!!!!!!
We have here a fish of VERY large size, the phenomenal Leedsichthys, based VERY heavily on the restoration by
@HBivittatus
himself and is the best Leeds guide in existence. I AM FISHMAN APPROVED!!! Leedsichthys enjoys a patch of moonlight while squid whip about it eating plankton
