Keenan Taylor's Tales of Kaimere | He/Himさんのイラストまとめ

The #hezuki, a demon of #FrostandFamine. The Tsuu Henjin say these demons were once xuul, a species of semiaquatic dromaeosaur, cursed by the south wind for committing unspeakable taboos during a famine, and were thus cursed with a ‘hive stomach’.

@Hylianola @Extinct_AnimaIs Dr. @MarkWitton drew one with a giraffe for scale is that what you mean? The composition of that one inspired me to want to put the big three (from left: Aramborgiania, Quetzalcoatlus, Hatzegopteryx) together to highlight their size.

Most of these ground sloths live in the mountains of the mainland and foothill forests, but recently these expert climbers have strayed out on the houze prairies, burrowing into the many buttes and mesas that can be found there.

And here’s the kurajaku!

I'll be going into more detail in the individual posts, but here are the eight Leviathans of Kaimere:

WIP of the kurajaku, an amphibious megaraptoran that is the apex predator of Kaimere’s shallow seas, mangroves, and estuaries.

Evidently some rad information on Spinosaurus is dropping this afternoon, so I figured I should drop every drawing I've ever done of this majestic keeled noodle while they're still even slightly relevant:

It also highlights how rapidly our understanding of these animals change, as both this and the Triceratops would look quite a bit different today than when I illustrated these four years ago. Cheers!
