Brighton craft market!

All the stuff i dont sell is gonna be on etsy in the future! (Probably august, but who knows)

Paleoart Sketching at the Royal Tyrell Museum

I promise I’ll get better photos eventually, but here’s a quick dump from my trip to drumheller! Visited the museum for some amount of hours over two days so I could sketch the mounts, all of these are done on watercolour paper so hopefully when I next post about them, they’ll be painted up and pretty :)

What museum do you guys recommend to go to next? (At least, in North America)

Hopefully going back for visit number 6 next year! (I’m so greedy, I need to go back again and again)

Young Gorgosaurus libratus, death pose.

Dromaeosaurus albertensis I believe, I gave it some strange butt plumage there but oh well

Black beauty (Tyrannosaurus rex) had a nice little chat with a photographer while drawing this one, we were both struggling to perform our arts with the massive crowd ;-; luckily day two was a lot less busy, I went first thing in the morning rather then midday.

Ornithomimus brevitertius, as to which the species Google refused to elaborate whether it’s synonymous with a different dinosaur species or genus so to this day I am unsure if it is a valid radon :,D regardless, this was probably my favourite sketch, working on painting it rn

I don’t remember the tag on this one, gonna guess it was a type of corythosaurus?

I’ll do some extra photo dumping from the museum later :)

I want to be a geo witch. A paleo-necromancer.

I want to listen to the rocks on the side of the road and hear about drama from 3.2 Billion years ago. I want to wear a hat with a ridiculously wide brim. I want to show the ghost of Jurassic ginkgos and Permian Cycads how tall and proud their ancestors are. I want to raise the old ones and have a consensual battle with my Kollikodon against someone else's up little critcher. I want to give a velociraptor a pat on my lap and tell them how wonderful they are with little kisses. It's bullshit and unfair.

Process shots of my latest acrylic painting, as promised!

The next acrylic addition to my Cretaceous Alberta series is already under way (a pair of baby styracosaurus), but there will definitely be a ton of watercolours along the way :)

+ heading out to Drumheller to visit the Royal Tyrell Museum in a day for the 4th time (listen, it's the best museum ok?) and I'll be spending ~9 hrs there this time to draw the mounts. That'll def add a lot to my Cretaceous Alberta collection. Let me know if there's a specific species you'd like me to look out for to draw there :D

[introduction]

hello, and welcome to my blog!

I am firestorm_shiba, you can also call me Fig (not my real name, but it’s time I grab myself a cool internet nickname…) or G :)

decided I should make a little(ish) introduction post, so here we go!

[quick summary of my blog]

I post a lot of dinosaurs + paleoart, but in the future I hope to include some more of my hobbies, interests and just little life things along the way! That may include lots of fantasy stuff, such as D&D, character design, and plenty of dragons, and I’ll likely start posting some of my fandom-related art stuff such as fanart of the Legend of Zelda, HotD/GoT, Wings of Fire, and the Witcher.

Maybe some little craft posts, and little random gremlin-y things

page tagging quick search:

my post = posts by me. Not much else to say. If I make a long bit of writing or add some art to a reblog, it may end up with this tag as well.

my art = again, not much else to say. Use this tag to quickly filter out reblogs and my non-art related posts from my blog :)

Cretaceous Alberta = art pieces, info and announcements regarding my Colours of the Lost World: Reconstructing Cretaceous Alberta project.

here's a bit about me + my page
