Turns out #hippos 🦛 lived in Europe much more recently than we thought!
Fossil & genetic evidence from Germany shows they roamed 50,000–31,000 years ago, right in the middle of the last #iceage 🥶🌨️
Same species as today’s African hippos, thriving during warmer periods.

Ancient DNA and dating evidence for the dispersal of hippos into central Europe during the last glacial

Arnold et al. present evidence that Late Pleistocene hippos from the Upper Rhine Graben show close genetic ties to modern African hippos. Although hippos have been thought to have gone extinct around ...

An Egyptian Medjay defends her temple from a thieving Japanese ninja in the dead of the night! #ancient #egyptian #african #blackwoman #japanese #ninja #asianwoman #art

Added a background to my last thumbnail sketch. It's supposed to be the interior of an Egyptian temple which the ninja has broken into to steal some sacred artifact which the Medjay is protecting.

Unfinished thumbnail sketch for my Medjay-versus-Ninja illustration (environment still pending). #sketch #ancient #egyptian #japanese #african #asian #art

Another little diorama I put together this morning, using a Stegosaurus figure I've owned since early childhood. I think it came out kinda cute. #diorama #dinosaur #paleoart #hobbies

I was in the middle of building a DragonBones rig for one of my warrior women character designs when I suddenly lost interest in it. Got kind of bored with the character, figured I would redesign her to be a bit more interesting.

The current approach to the character. Going for more of a sci-fi vibe.

Image of the design I was working on in DragonBones.

Work-in-progress sketch of an Egyptian lady chillin' with her crocodile companion. Not yet decided on the environment to place them in, if any. #sketch #ancient #egyptian #african #crocodile #art

Redid the obelisk, bigger and better!

The ironic thing about the common stereotype of the man-child as someone stuck in their parents' basement is that some of the most immature, emotionally stunted people out there are nonetheless able to get into positions of substantial power and influence. One even became President again recently.

Another, simpler diorama with an Egyptian theme. Might remake the obelisk using a different, less bendy material than modeling clay sometime in the future. #diorama #ancient #egyptian #african #crocodile #artsandcrafts

Second diorama for today, a totally accurate representation of human history. In other news, the earth is flat and Tylenol causes autism. #diorama #fantasy #prehistoric #dinosaur #cavemen #hobbies

My current #WIP. I'm practicing my sprite making techniques by turning the warrior women in my past sketches into assets. I don't have a game in mind, but I like doing this sort of thing. Gonna build it in parts and animate it in DragonBones, maybe.

I just saw the "Gamer From Mars" documentary about it. I wonder if it was the artist's transphobia that brought about his political transition?
