#Deinonychus arms. I made a whole sequence showing reconstruction of the bones/muscles/feathers for my talk at #TetZooMCon, just realised I've never shared any of it.
Results from the post-#Tetzoomcon #paleostream
Erjiecaris, Patriofelis, Kurupi and Tupandactylus.

What I did during most of last night’s #TetZooMCon: pariah dogs. I’m writing and illustrating a magazine article on early domestic dogs and needed to get some practise in. Getting dog faces right is hard! Based on random photos from the internet.
Huge thanks to everyone who participated in #TetZooMCon -- stressful from my end but mostly a success, and what amazing talks! Write-up to follow at #TetZoo when time allows. Thanks again to all attendees!
Well, it's 10-13am the day after #TetZooMCon and it FINALLY looks at if the afterparty has finished. Well played, well played, all, but you didn't beat last year's record :) See you next year!
#TetZooMCon2021: big thanks to @TetZoo & @thejohnconway, not just for planning & running another great #TetZooMCon but also for sorting me out... Zoology, ecology, palaeontology, speculative biology, conservation & evolution with fantastic sciart & palaeoart (& aliens) thrown in.
THE BEASTS OF GEVAUDAN: UNKNOWN MAN EATERS? François-Louis Pellisier at #TetZooMCon 2021. Unpacking the mystery, dissecting the evidence. What was it/they that killed people? Probably wolves...🐺?

THE CRONCH "CAT": DIET AND PALEOECOLOGY OF PATRIOFELIS ULTA. @Laelaps at #TetZooMCon 2021. Not a cat. With big teeth. Probably ate lots of turtles... a durophagore? #palaeoecology #paleoecology #fossils #Patriofelis #Eocene #palaeontology #paleontology #durophagore
I touched very briefly on color combos to avoid for colorblind folk:
Red/Green
Green/Brown
Green/Blue
Blue/Gray
Blue/Purple
Green/Gray
Green/Black
You *can* use these color combos, but use contrasting shades or tones. ("Nemegt Sunrise" normal & simulated Protanopia) #TetZoomCon
For those of you who were unable to make it for my #paleoart session, I will be posting a breakdown of my discussion today on color theory and color blindness in this thread - complete w/the visuals that I was unable to share bc screensharing was broken for my room #TetZoomCon
A fascinating #TetZooMCon talk by @gsciencelady on the untold stories of mammal evolution related to her new book (that I clearly need to buy). Here’s an early mammal absolutely appalled about being called ”Cretaceous popcorn”.
#TetZooMCon is happening now! Doodle inspired by @Laelaps ’s talk about the ecology of enigmatic Eocene mammal Patriofelis (”father of cats”): could those crazy teeth have been for cracking turtle shells?
Hasty sketch of my Beast of Gevaudan: a giant weasel!
