I know people are slating the reconstruction animations, especially with the Web of Fear animation, and I do have gripes with a lot of them. But The Moonbase, The Tenth Planet and especially The Macra Terror's animations are pretty marvellous to watch, both in style and fluidity.

I just realized I don’t have any non-neotherapsid synapsids in my library of illustrations for licensing, so in my warmup time today I started working in a reconstruction of one of my fav dinocephalians: the huge Anteosaurus. Here in a speculative display pose

The skeleton was on display pre-2000s, set in dated tail-dragging pose [pic]

Here are some of our slightly updated reconstructions of April from few years back, done wonderfully by & coloured by me

& also were pivotal in this project

Zhoukoudian was not the first discovery place of Homo erectus, but thanks to the work of Franz Weidenreich in the 1930s and 1940s, it became the prototype for the way later scientists understood this One reason was his reconstruction of the L2 skull.

When the skeleton was first described, the tracheal cartiliage was misidentified as a dorsal (=on-the-back) fringe, which you can see in CR Knight's reconstructions of Tylosaurus in the 1899 paper & accompanying FR221 on display (& 's P15144!)

New 2000 year tree ring reconstruction just dropped! We are now clearly anomalously warm in the context of the past two millennia. I wonder why *puzzled face*. Paper by & colleagues. https://t.co/MKXM2gmIbd

'No. 2 "The Reconstruction of Belgium"' ~ George Clausen (1917).

Here he depicts Belgium rising from the ashes, where ruins are being restored and new structures are being built. On a scaffold is a sculptor with hammer and chisel modelling a monument to Belgium’s strength.

Praise the Lord of Sky and Storms whose grace grants me the ability to roast mobs' åsses for 100 rounds straight, after something like 10 fillings, root canal therapy and a dental reconstruction I'm done with the ordeal.
Here's a beastie wip to celebrate.

Kalligramma paradoxum (Liu et al.). Another drawing of a kalligrammatid lacewing, one of my favorite extinct animals (if not the most), depicted here hiding form the rain under a Umaltolepis leaf ( 's Umaltolepis reconstruction was a great referance!).

Stw 53: Homo or not Homo? Some digital reconstructions from my lounge room that probably do not shed light on this question!

As a boy I was amazed at the work of Alan Sorrell. His reconstruction of Dirleton was the first image of its kind I ever saw. So I copied his techinque of boxing views a section at a time. I used (8 pence) Postcard images in 1981 then scaled up to A3 size (Tantallon example)

Ok and LAST POST about the monkey people bc I know y’all are tired at this point 😂. Just dropping my favorite reconstructions, by the Kennis Brothers, John Gurche and Jay Matternes, respectively (and all different species)

People are still arguing over whether it was an invertebrate or a basal chordate (the lamprey-like reconstructions you normally see). Personally, I’m team vertebrate.

As a result, the existing "full reconstruction of saron" until recently is a chimera of two different radiodonts.
(Previous "chimeric saron" done in late 2019, with update on the number of tail fins from ELRC 20001)

My study and partly reconstruction of the 'Etruscan Juno', an Etruscan artwork from the 4th century BC, Museo Nazionale Etrusco a Roma, Villa Giulia. In the original, some pieces are missing, but traces of colour are still visible.

I had completely forgot about these fellas!
Four guys trading in meteoritic iron, in the Hallstatt period (between bronze and iron age)
The reconstruction looked cool years ago, but I guess it's got a good amount of issues xD
