Start of a new set of sketches. Gangs of Jurassic Park. First off, a Gorgonopsid (Premian pre-mammal sort of thing).
Gorgonopsids have such cool skull structure so I definitely had to draw Mars for @aainsleyyactual! #artfight
@FishGuyKai Genus, Gorgonops, was a synapsid (early relative of mammals with reptilian characteristics) named after the gorgons. Name means “Gorgon face”
Stasja and Borres in profile. These are my gorgonopsid characters for a board rpg thing, sketches last night over beer
Stasja ja Borres, gorgonopseja Kadotettu Saari -ropee varten, en oo tussannut ja värittänyt juttuja ikuisuuksiin mutta ehkä tämä tästä!
Tiigerin puolen euron tussi oli jälleen parempi kuin vitosen brändisivellintussi |3
It's about time for me to get real with the moominverse gorgonopsid. Big inspirations would be Ancestors and Muskrat.

Ok seriously tho, where's the love for Dinocephalians? These things were bloody insane yet it seems nobody really cares much about them? I mean of course this applies to a lot of Permian stuff, but you still get the occasional gorgonopsid and obligatory Dimetrodon every blue moon https://t.co/CxW4EHMIUa
Sycosaurus, a proto-mammal gorgonopsid that dominated Permian South Africa.

Hey kaiju artists, if you guys ever felt like drawing the walrus-like kaiju Maguma, it'll really cool to redesign him like a Permian era mammal-like reptile such as a gorgonopsid as Toho has said Maguma is a reptile despite his appearance.
@itslittletunny A gorgonopsid by the name of Sakke! Basically, early mammal thingamaboob from permian era, before dinosaurs. Available in prehistoric or 1970s or other versions!
decided to draw my gorgonops lady character today
@JusttheZooofUs @LezBuck they're extinct, but gorgonopsians!! they're a subgroup of therapsids that were called "mammal-like reptiles" for their mixture of mammalian & reptilian feature. their sizes ranged anywhere from small dog to bear-sized
