My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2013 I was a consultant on the RIVER MONSTERS series about PREHISTORIC TERRORS. Here's my influence on Dunkleosteus – they ignored my request to not shrink-wrap the amour plates.

I’ve always thought of the Nerevarine in the context of Mantling. For the unaware, Mantling is a concept in TES where a being walks as another for so long and so thoroughly that the universe can’t tell them apart.

Livyatan melvillei vs. megalodon

Livyatan melvillei was a titanic cetacean that inhabited the seas of Peru and Chile millions of years ago, being known for its enormous size that could reach around 18 meters in length. When people think of Thalassophobia and ancient sea horrors beyond your comphehension, this creature should be the first thing that pop up in your mind.

Artwork done for "Extinct Zoo" channel in YT.

Prints will be available in my redbubble 🙌🏻

I really like drawing neloth

Looking up anything about deadlock is a 50/50 between the most genuinely enjoyable looking gameplay and funny banter imaginable, and wading through "bro this is like if overwatch sucked" comments.

Nami! 🍊🍊🍊

Inspired by how @asfarblues drew her recently :^)

I planned to make this watercolor and then found out after I did all the line art that my multimedia paper doesn't work with watercolor.... So I improvised with pencils

art tips post

for all the artists following me

draw fast. it’ll look messy for a long time but you’ll improve faster than if you spend 4 hours on every drawing

if you draw in pencil and have a habit of erasing all of your mistakes, try drawing in pen or marker. i know it’s scary but it’ll help in the long run (i’m speaking from experience)

try different methods and mediums but don’t worry about mastering any of them, just have fun

if you’re not rich, buy art supplies from the dollar store, not the art store (seriously. i go through a sketchbook about once a month and i’d rather spend $4 on one than $15)

there’s no wrong way to learn. you can copy other people’s art if you want to, just don’t post it

DO NOT worry about having a consistent style. do not. just draw however you want

if you want to make original characters then do it. don’t worry about if they’re original, or a good design, or if they have an accompanying story. make sonic ocs. do it. it’s fun and it’s not hurting anyone

try not to kill your back. stand up and stretch once in a while

make a folder and save all of your favorite arts for inspiration 

draw from life. draw your dog. draw your teachers. draw your desk. draw your own hands (seriously that’s the best way to get better at drawing hands)

in general, drawing from life or a photo is better than drawing from a diagram

draw whatever you want. draw youtubers if you like youtubers. draw undertale if you like undertale. when i was a kid i drew nothing but shadow the hedgehog and horses. everyone deserves to draw what they want without being mocked, and if people start making fun of you, block them and keep drawing

don’t expect to get any notes at first. don’t let it discourage you. if you want validation go show your art to your mom or your friends or your teacher or your grandma

take breaks, but don’t give up.

Sinosauropteryx (the feathered compsognathid with a striped tail) versus hubris (featuring a special appearance by a chonky rat)

i am OVER summer i need spooky rainy autumn with puddles and cats and big trees that are probably haunted and scented candles and watching slasher movies from the 80s or the 90s that aren’t even scary

Iconic shirt allan

you have passed the ‘iconic shirt allan.’ if you reblog the ‘iconic shirt allan’ you will get 30 years good luck, a check in the mail for $250, 000 and keys to a brand new mercedes.

(thnx to That_StinkyMatt on twt)

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

"tumblr is the gay website" "tumblr is the communist website" tumblr is the sheltered white USamerican suburbanite shut-in website

thinking about making some fridge magnets to help me keep track of the perishables in my fridge because i lack object permanence, apparently

"nobody is judging you" wrong, my mother is seemingly always judging every single stranger she sees

See also, "We're in a drought; conserve water!" Meanwhile, bottled water companies and golf courses for rich folk empty the aquifers.

You are loved.
