What The Food In My Fridge Sees In The Middle Of The Night

25 years of palaeo-reconstruction...

Here are some more artworks from the 1990's, when I was at school and university. An acrylic painting of Kentrosaurus on slide 1 (can you tell I loved Doug Henderson's work?) and on slide 2 is a pen drawing of Allosaurus and a painting of Tyrannosaurus.

Today's aesthetic is paleocore

FLIRT MAN

THERE'S NO NEED TO FEEL DOWN

I SAID, FLIRT MAN

PICK YOURSELF OFF THE GROUND

I SAID, FLIRT MAN

SHOW YOUR THROAT ALL AROUND

AND JUST GET! THAT! FINE! PIECE! OF! ASS!

WOF tribe wingspan concepts:

Read below cut for close-ups of the individual wings + the thought process / headcannons behind the design choices: 👇

Skywing: Huge wingspan to body ratio, meant for catching air current with ease, and soaring great distances, even days on end without rest. It can also assist in billowing fire, mainly from the sheer power & air that flapping their wings can generate. Inspired by seabirds such as gulls & albatrosses, all equipped for traveling overseas.

Mudwing: Rounded wings to assist in parachuting and carrying more wind under a Mudwing’s muscled & bulky form. Striped patterns underneath wingspan resemble swamp reeds and algae when hunting. Given Mudwings are ambush predators, their wings are inspired by birds such as owls, which despite tending to be larger birds of prey, are very silent predators.

Sandwings: Coiled wingtips which mimic their barbed tails in flight. They have wavy line like patterns underneath, meant to resemble shifting dunelines or freckled sand spots. Sandwings have the largest wingspan next to Skywings, due to their requirement of flying long distances across the desert. Primarily inspired by vultures, and carrion birds meant to soar & circle.

Seawings: Fin-like Wings better equipped for swimming than flying. These wingspans are Manta Ray inspired, with dolphin-like tail ends connecting all the way to the wing tips. Depending on genetics, some seawings are born with more shark-like tail ends.

Nightwing: Sleek & recognizable wing shape, commonly associated with all dragon imagery. Their wingspan is inspired by bats, making them equipped for gripping craggy rock ledges, and blending into the night, since they can easily furl around their body.

Rainwing: Decorative and frilled wings. Inspired by Macaw/frilled lizards. Their wings mimic the same frills on their necks & tailbase, and can come in a variety of colors & patterns underneath. Stripes, spots, & swirls are all common sights. These wings are meant more for gliding, but also serve simultaneously as threat and courtship displays with the right whorls of color.

Icewings: Icewings have ridged wings which mimic icicles and shattered glaciers. Their wings feature sharp, narwhal-like spines at the tips. Similar to their serrated claws, they are perfect for stabbing into ice for balance, or spearing seals & fish. They can also hold dragon/prey firmly in place, and easily scewer an opponent in flight if needed.

Nobody: Me and my dragonkin ass having a box of random shiny (And non-shiny) stuff that I found (If you touch it I'll burn you like the pyre I was named after)

This is for Gravity Falls fans :3c I'm sure you've heard of Book of Bill, and probably have seen this picture by @ atomikku (I don't know if they'd wanna get tagged so I'm not)

My question, with no third option for both, just assuming you can only go to one

Edit: this is not to get the book, it's for a meet and greet and book signing

Personally (I think you can tell) I'd go with Bill, no second thoughts no regrets.

Paleostream 6/04/2024

here are today's #Paleostream sketches!!!

today we drew Altispinax, Thyreosaurus, Ornithoprion, and Mapusaurus

I drew the False DoD!

Details under the cut (from left to right.) also minor spoilers for the first arc.

Viper: I really loved drawing her- her colour pallet and expression were so fun to do. I wish we got to see more of her character, I feel like she had some wasted potential. Squid: I LOVE his design. I think it might be my favourite out of the five. I like the jewellery I added to him. He’s canonically obsessed with treasure, so I think Nautilus would eventually just give in and get him some. Also I made his pupils rectangular because I headcanon that MudWings and SeaWings under a lot of stress would have those. Just a nod to how he isn’t as shallow as he seems. Fatespeaker: I made her eyes all white to show that she has ‘foresight’. She doesn’t really. I’ll give you the option to choose whether I put that there for symbolism, or if you think she learned to roll her eyes up in her head to convince people her visions were real. Ochre: I tried to make him look bigger but it just wasn’t happening. In the end his design was pretty bland, just your average MudWing dragonet, if much grumpier. Sorry, guys. Flame: I made him pink, which I think suits him a lot. He was the first one I drew, so I like him a lot. This is before the incident with Viper, so he doesn’t have his telltale scar.
