A mermaid/gargoyle/sea-raphim that carries a truncated D4 vial. The vial carries 100 gal and refills when capped. The wings are not for flying but for swimming and the race can spit out water proficiently.

WIP of a Monty plate for Truncated! I’m planning on doing a few of these at 18x24 for other proboscideans. Within, I tried a few new rendering styles in illustrator and photoshop.

(Corrections/critiques welcome)

Time for another Fossil Fracas related update for Truncated:

My Long Wall of Proboscideans is full of all sorts of bizarre characters. Eventually I’m planning on characterizing every species.

Elephantimorphs look normal to us today, but they're really bizarre in comparison to the basal members of Proboscidea. Eritherium, on the right, for example looks much like a hippo against my old mastodon design.

You're going to see more of this character later. That's because I had reworked her design a lot and even I have another attempt of a comic with her. One more for the count of truncated projects.

And... wait... what? ... These biodiversity data search results are GARBAGE!

The database does okay on whales.

Except the species name appears to have got truncated for Physeter macrocephalus, suggesting poor data structure design or historic data migration issues.

Love how truncated this Roman sculpture is. "Sure, I work out."

shown rotating in the Mercator projection. Catalan tiling dual to omnitruncated {3,3}.

The edge coloring suggests another way to look at this tiling... as a triple compound of two tetrahedra and a cube. Thank you for input on this one!
