My most detailed entry into the Proboscidea series was the American mastodon. I painted as much of the fur as possible. https://t.co/PhJrTVUk21

Palaeoloxodon falconeri is a great example of the crazy size disparity that can occur within the same genus. I didn't know this extreme was possible for mammals https://t.co/x52Tj8s0aH

Aaand the biggest proboscidean ever, the massive Palaeoloxodon namadicus. This one I can really hear the elephant-like rumble every time I look at it. https://t.co/rL3HgZ2cs0

My 1st contribution to the Pamelaria, a basal allokotosaur from the Middle Triassic of India. At approximately 2m, this reptile was as long as I am tall!

Jeez, I'm at the halfway point for my Allokotosauria series already! Time flies when you're having fun I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

I call it "Diet Shringasaurus" because while it is most closely related to Shringasaurus and bears many similarities, it lacks its relative's most interesting features. No horns, no "hump"/horse neck, and it's a bit smaller.

Late update on my Azendohsaurus reconstruction. Got the line drawing & base color, now ready for patterning. There's no such thing as too much detail!

Shringasaurus, w/ its Crystal Palace dinosaur/Ray Harryhausen aesthetic, is my absolute favorite Triassic animal and one of the coolest-looking non-dinosaurs of the Mesozoic.

Just when I thought I couldn't like Shringasaurus more, I find out it may have looked even weirder! Updated line drawing based on Ashley Patch's skeletal (link to her tweet below).

Line drawing of the Jurassic Cycnorhamphus. I really like how this is turning out so far, I forgot how much fun the textures of pterosaurs can be once you get past the nightmare of proportions & posing.
