It's about time for me to get real with the moominverse gorgonopsid. Big inspirations would be Ancestors and Muskrat.

Ok seriously tho, where's the love for Dinocephalians? These things were bloody insane yet it seems nobody really cares much about them? I mean of course this applies to a lot of Permian stuff, but you still get the occasional gorgonopsid and obligatory Dimetrodon every blue moon https://t.co/CxW4EHMIUa

Hey kaiju artists, if you guys ever felt like drawing the walrus-like kaiju Maguma, it'll really cool to redesign him like a Permian era mammal-like reptile such as a gorgonopsid as Toho has said Maguma is a reptile despite his appearance.

A gorgonopsid by the name of Sakke! Basically, early mammal thingamaboob from permian era, before dinosaurs. Available in prehistoric or 1970s or other versions!

this is a rly good science-for-non-scientists book imo, w lots of good analogies and visual metaphors. eg, "skulls like gigantic staple removers" p much nailed gorgonopsids.

Inostrancevia, probably the most commonly depicted Permian gorgonopsid. I did this fairly quickly, mostly just to experiment with integument. The loose, almost sketchy rendering is supposed to be kind of tough, kind of wrinkly skin with some hairs/bristles

r. atrox was closely related to dinogorgon which has the most badass name of any animal ever therefore some people mightve heard of it. i find it interesting how gorgonopsids had limited post canine dentition, how many choked to death on bones?
