silurian exploration cuz i wanted to draw more silurians and try making some of my own
Silurian period: hey I got a great idea for an open-water predator that specializes in eating fish
Triassic period: what if it was a reptile
Paleogene period: what if it was a cow
@butters_louis @When_Are_We Well, there's this design of the Sea Devils in the 12th Doctor comics. They somehow look worse than any other NewWho redesign, I'll gladly take the Silurians after seeing this.

Today is the 50th anniversary of episode 1 of The Silurians, first broadcast on 31 January 1970. If you're giving the story a commemorative rewatch, the latest #theblackarchive is the companion you need.

3 sarcopterygian fish from the Silurian. From the top: Guiyu oneiros, Megamastax, and Psarolepis. 2/3 of these were pretty big predators of the Silurian seas, with Guiyu reaching about 13in while Megamastax is estimated at around 1m (3.28ft) #sundayfishsketch #paleoart
Progress made on my #acrylicpainting series Deep Time Dramas! Working to combine #paleoart and expression. Plenty more to go on these (including actually adding animals ofc)
1. The Devonian - love, connectivity
2. The Ordovician/Silurian Extinction - indecision, separation
Spending this #FossilFriday working on the last few pages of text for LTTAII, including the last page describing a scene of fossil animals. This honour goes to a Silurian marine scene that which I painted for @LukeHauser's thesis. Agnathans and early gnathostomes FTW! #paleoart
Pterygotus was a gigantic arthropod that could grow to 2.3 metres long! They lived during the early Silurian-Devonian period. They had a pair of large eyes & a smaller pair in the centre of their head.

Acutiramus is an extinct sea scorpion that emerged in the Late Silurian. These gigantic arthropods reached 2 metres in length & had pincers that were 5 centimetres long!
