Does anyone know much about Isoetes? Saw these in Gariwerd/the grampians which is supposed to have Isoetes drummondii and thought they possibly looked like them.

And closeups don't work quite as well for this one because basically I didn't have that much time, so I used a larger brush and wasn't super careful so the shapes and edges are quite messy up close. But it was interesting to do a kind of different style.

So this was a redo of a drawing from 2023, here's a comparison of the two. Mostly I was focusing on fixing tone across the image as in the 2023 one it looks a bit incoherent when the image is small. But also wanted to redo particularly the clouds and some of the vegetation.

Well this is as done as it's going to get. Tiliqua frangens, a megafauna skink from pleiocene and pleistocene australia with large pointy scales feeding on spring wildflowers. #palaeoart #palaeoart #reptile #lizard
