The last piece for Lemuria Phase I
The peaks of Lemuria during the Cretaceous were often snow covered but in the valleys and on the plateaus animal and plant life can thrive. Here the last Refugium of stegosaurs lies.
THE LAST STEGOSAUR was one of the points on our clade list for the phase. And subsequently we got a lot of submissions with suggestions on who this species should look and where it should live. Unfortunately non of the submissions satisfied me completely, but many elements presented I liked a lot. So relatively early on I decided to turn this into a waste basket taxon. I chose 8 of my favarite designs and took parts of and puzzled them into a new genus that was named, on stream: Deimaximerror.
On Lemuria
Lemuria is a new spec evo project for and by the #paleostream community. Like the Atlantis project beforehand it deals with a fictional piece of land in 3 phases. Lemuria is an already existent concept that was invented before the recognition of plate tectonics to explain certain distribution patterns of animals and plants. In our case Lemuria is a continent consisting of India and Madagascar. We speculate how animals and plants would evolve if these two would never separate. This has MANY consequences. And the further we progress through time the more natural history will change. Phase one deals with the Cretaceous, when things are still rather "normal".
I did a reconstruction of #arkansaurus based off of the skeletal reconstruction @definetilynotpedroandrade have done. First thing paleo I've done in a while š And I don't do that many ornithomimids (I don't like their heads š). #arkansaurusfridayi #ornithomimid #science #sciart #paleoart #paleoartist #sketchbook #sketch #art #creaturedesign #doodle #artistoninstagram #dinosaur #dinosaurart #jurassicpark #jurrasicworld
I keep forgetting to take pictures of armatures.... here's one that I just started clothing with clay! This is going to be a borhyaena being caught off guard by the kelenken. I'm planning to do a tiny diorama with the two of them. #diorama #armature #superculpey #paleoart #paleoartist #borhyaena #sculpture #sciart https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhitN7Bbie/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jiyon5ymlhfj
Some more photos of the underlying armature and how i built it up for the platybelodon sculpt. I think i will keep making basic skulls for my sculpts as it gives a rather natural look imo, also it satisfoes my need for playing with and kearning better anatomyš one tuak is deliberatley shorter than the other to portray use and wear from a life of fighting. I'm always fascinated by battle scarred bull elephants. If you want to see more pictures of tge finished sculpture, check out my previous post! #miniature #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #paleoartist #sculptor #art #artist #paleoart #platybelodon #sculpture #supersculpey #armature #maquette #toy #elephant #animalart #sciart #dinosaurart #poboscidea #toymaker #prehistoric #prehistoriccreature #gompothere #creaturedesigner #creaturedesign #fossilfriday https://www.instagram.com/p/BwJwcSHlafe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=53ak37gp4w0b
Some progress shots from a newly done commission of a thylacoleo carnifex. Looks rather alien and bony doesn't it? Steelwire armature padded with tinfoil, bound by soft steel wire, basic skull and skeletal structure, and premade custom size eyes and very rudementary anatomy "filling". Finished product up on Firday 10th. . Been thinking about doing process videos/time-lapse videos of sculptures. Would you be interested? . Been a few hectic and exhausting weeks! I haven't shown much from the animation project I'm working on for ADHDNorge and Extrastiftelsen..don't know why? Will show some soon as my contract is nearing an endāš¢ On top of this I've been working more on my more seasonal job lately, so, very little time energy to do anything but!šŖ #armatureworks #armature #art #artinprogress #wip #artistofinstagram #artist #paleoart #thylacoleo #thylacoleocarnifex #dropbear #marsupial #animalart #sculpture #sciart #fantasyart #creature #creaturedesign #paleoartist #creaturedesigner #dinosaurart #iceage #iceageanimal #maquette #supersculpey #sculpey #supersculpeyoriginal https://www.instagram.com/p/BxRCDPSlR28/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n0oznum5h44d
Sometimes I wanna know what mother nature was smoking
My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
In 2013 I built 23 scale and life-size models for MUSE Science Museum, in Trento, Italy. Here's an enlarged Wiwaxia, an animal (possibly a mollusc) from the Early and Middle Cambrian.

The deserts of Lemuria are just as filled with mega fauna as many other habitats of the continent. Dinosaurs were just build different.
On Lemuria
Lemuria is a new spec evo project for and by the #paleostream community. Like the Atlantis project beforehand it deals with a fictional piece of land in 3 phases. Lemuria is an already existent concept that was invented before the recognition of plate tectonics to explain certain distribution patterns of animals and plants. In our case Lemuria is a continent consisting of India and Madagascar. We speculate how animals and plants would evolve if these two would never separate. This has MANY consequences. And the further we progress through time the more natural history will change. Phase one deals with the Cretaceous, when things are still rather "normal".
We put together the hot steppes on Saturday. So far this is the piece with the most sauropod diversity on display

I had to do a double take on the third image

In 2013 I built a life-size model of Thecodontosaurus for the Bristol Dinosaur Project. Here is how it was built, part 2 of 9.

Please welcome Perucetus, the new - and largest- known archeoceti.
A whale of enormous proportions. While it's exact size and weight is certainly a matter of heated debates it was no doubt a really big boi. Here a quick sketch of it approaching a time traveler.
Because it's hard to show all the critters that live underground we have the tradition at this point to have a dedicated subterranean piece. Lemuria is no different. On Lemuria

Moving up in elevation we are reaching the cold steppes of the uplands. A realm ruled by giant azhdarchid pterosaurs. Few large animal species venture up here.

Here's a closer look at the 565 Million years old Haootia quadriformis ā what a beautiful animal! Again, it is time to stop reconstructing these animals standing on discs.

Electrophysiology setup from the lab I used to work in, now in painting form!
Letās talk about prairie, history, and language. For communities so focused onĀ ānative plantsā/ānative gardeningā/etc thereās so little acknowledgement or engagement with indigenous Americans and their history.Ā
When we talk about science, thereās a baseline assumption of objectivity. Science is Truth, something apart from messy cultural ideas. The reality is, culture and all itās messes bleed into science, like here in ecology. We gotta be conscious of the histories we inherit in science.
