It's a date

Dr. Jane Goodall was not only one of the most accomplished primatologists and researchers of our time but also a really kind person who believed in love and respect for all living beings. Really sad to hear of her passing.

ॐ शांति।। 🙏

University of Southampton @unisouthampton.bsky.social · 10d

We are saddened to hear of the death of Dr Jane Goodall, who was awarded an Honorary Degree from Southampton in 2019.

Dr Goodall was a committed conservationist and a world-leading expert on chimpanzees.

Her dedication to her work was inspiring.

Yes it's very satisfying to see how far you've come, not just in art but in life, it's very arbitrary how every day goes by and you don't notice a change, maybe some things are different but nothing significant. But you look back a few years and now everything's different.

My first digital dinosaur drawing (made in 2021) vs my latest

I think I should get around to redrawing that Allosaurus in my current style some time

I'm personally not convinced on any ceratopsian having extensive feather covering, but that's what the client wanted so gotta work with that. I believe quills are the most we know of ceratopsians possessing as far as feathers go?

CALLING ALL RESEARCHERS, MUSEUM CURATORS, AND OTHER ACADEMICS

While I enjoy working on science fiction, I'd love to work to contribute illustrations towards real science, I'm open to Paleoart and other science illustrations for papers, books, murals, or for private use.

Thank you!

It was! Afaik most of the designs for this project have already been settled upon, with no input from me. This is the reference I was given, drawn by another artist I unfortunately don't know the name of. We're going with stylised designs and accuracy is a secondary concern.

Hospitalized for some time, it'll take a while before I make some new artwork. In the meantime I might upload some older work.

#JWR was awesome, 7/10

This is me holding a sketch I made 10 years ago after watching Jurassic World (2015) when I was 9, at that time this was the best drawing I'd ever made. Today I hold it again after all those years to relive that childhood one more time.

A few nights ago I had a nightmare where I was on an empty highway, nobody else around. It was night, foggy, all I could see were the roads and streetlights, except one streetlight looked a little odd. I squinted and saw this, patiently waiting for me to walk its way.
