When I first saw @tanakakun_nft's work and took in the detail—What beautiful scenery!—I dreamt of an ultimate collage of my derivative characters and favorite things.
Now, thanks to TANAKAkun, Aoi-chan, Stranded, fish, and Ophthalmosaurus can share a fun watery world! Wow ❤️❤️

Recently drawing some skeletal reconstructions but primarily doing all living(at least it was) things.

I don't think I've ever seen an ichthyosaur muscle reconstruction, so thought I'd spend a few moments on one this morning... I've emerged from the rabbit hole hours later with this take on Ophthalmosaurus myology (drawn over skeletal McGowan and Motani 2003)
Writing about ichthyosaurs for LTTAII - reworked Ophthalmosaurus #paleoart now features alongside Triassic taxa. Text is >50% done and images are almost finished, but progress is slow due to other commitments. This'll be another book finished via late nights and early starts.
Have spent a lot of this week working on a new Jurassic marine life mural (will be released soon), so here's #paleoart for #FossilFriday on the same theme: Jurassic ichthyosaur Ophthalmosaurus, plus bonus pterosaurs.
I need ichthyosaur #paleoart for a book, so I've revisited an Ophthalmosaurus image not touched since 2015. Apparently it's now on holiday somewhere warm, scenic and probably expensive. Note the terrific animal/scenery ratio, which is just what you want in a crowded book.
