Quick and messy Ceratosaurus after dealing with the flu from hell the past few days. Debating with myself whether or not to ink it. Yes is winning so far.
(Ceratodaurus is actually one of my favorite dinos, especially after playing the first Jurassic World Evolution game)

Smol boys have all the chicks.
Cannot get over how good Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age was. All of the animals have so much personality! I never paid much attention to Moa’s but after seeing the male make himself smal, smaller, smallest for the female I’m in love!
Quick daily ink sketch.

Quick, 30 minutes or so, very feathery Hatzegopteryx sketch that I’m pretty happy with.
(If you’re wondering about the lines, I use a Moleskine daily planner, one page per day, with paper not meant for drawing to draw every day and feel free to try things!)

#InkTober2025 Day 31: Award. The award for the spookiest animal goes to the ‘hell-pig”, an extinct Entelodont.
And I know the current thinking places them more in the family of hippos rather then pigs. But this is how I first learned about them.
Happy Samhain!

#InkTober2025 Day 24: Rowdy.
Two juvenile Cave Lions. They weren’t that different from our modern lions, except bigger and I imagine they had adaptations for the colder weather like thicker, lighter colored fur and smaller ears, so I added that.

#InkTober2025 Day 23: Firefly. A Thylacosmilus, an extinct sabretoothed marsupial-like mammal. Another prompt I had an idea for early on and I love how it turned out. Never drawn one of these guys before, which is one of the things I wanted to do this InkTober.

Woolly Rhinoceros, shedding it’s winter coat.
Really pleased with this, used some 0,05 Micron pen to get the really fine fur details and the white pencil worked really well to show the old, matted fur. And I think it shows it’s standing in the wind.

#InkTober2025 Day 13: Drink. If you had antlers as big as Megaloceros you’d wade into the water to avoid having to lift all that weight anymore then you had to as well.
Had to cut part of the antlers off and it still spilled onto the previous page. But pretty happy with it!
