Misremembered the theme as Picasso instead of Placoderm🙊 A few modifications and here is a Plicassoderm

He goes by Placo, a little on the nose since he was made by accident when I tried to draw a placodermi. Outward personality is predominately inspired by Cayde6, but deep down he's pretty reserved, some might say he's actually shy ʅ(´◔౪◔)ʃ
Just don't call him Pleco

285. Titanichthys agassizi. Un placodermo (pez acorazado) del Devónico Superior. El escudo craneal medía unos 60 cm, y su tamaño debió ser similar al de Dunkleosteus sp. (aunque menos robusto). Podría ser el primer vertebrado filtrador conocido. (©M. Witton)

I don't think this is the fish and potatoes we need for - An old model of Bothriolepis, placoderm fish from the Devonian and a plant specimen from collections

Here are both two of my first - and one of my last pieces, all featuring the Devonian placoderm and apex predator Dunkleosteus terrelli.
The first 2 donein 2015 for https://t.co/d23noXI8Qf
The latter done a few weeks ago for another client.

Incidentally, cleaner wrasse was my inspiration for this speculative zoology piece on "Cleaner Placoderms" https://t.co/OcIS9SYZJV about how some ecological interactions we see today might have also existed in the ancient past

For here's a throwback of Lunaspis, the Devonian placoderm whose name appropriately means 🌙🛡️ (weird to remember the entire 1st half of 2018 for me was drawing the Paleozoic with colored pencils in a sketchbook)

Last one for now: Silurolepis, an antiarch placoderm. It is very hard to come up with a coloration that makes the front & back look like the same animal, but I like the challenge.

Highlights from the Bothriolepis aquarium, Emausaurus, Creatosaurus, Kaikeifilu.

Highlights from last nights stream: wooly rhino dozing in the Spring sun, a beached Dunkelosteus, Postosuchus portrait and Camarasaurus under the desert moon (I remembered too late that these humps are unlikely).
