the best trope in media is: “characters turn on the lights, see the monster, and immediately turn the lights back off”
I went to a library book sale this weekend and I found a very old book called “Electronic Life: How to Think About Computers,” which was published in I think 1975? I’ve been reading it kind of like how I would read a historical document, and it’s lowkey fascinating

And here it is, our second Cambrian formation piece! This time we visited the even older Surius Passet from Greenland, our first real deep sea deposit.
As most animals down here have no or only small eyes the color palette was rather limited and most practical. A bigger challenge was however the largest animal here, Pambdelurion, an over 50 cm long panathropod. Making room for it proofed to be exceptionally tricky.
Only a day before the stream discord member Levi finally had a silly yet genius idea: we would use the opening battle from Revenge of the Sith as our our basic inspiration. It's not the first time I turned Cambrian critters into spaceships so that fit incredibly well!
In combination with this fantastic size chart by Prehistorica ( https://x.com/Prehistorica_CM ) I went to work and I think I'm quite happy with the result.
