A New Age of Reptiles: The Raja Gharial

In a world where whales and other marine mammals never developed, reptiles have repeatedly taken to the seas with great success. These oceanic invasions have produced a staggering diversity of marine reptiles rivaling that of the preceding Mesozoic. (1/13)
An enormous, short-limbed crocodylian with a swooping, streamlined body. It has a long and powerfully muscled tail topped by rows of large scales that create a vertically oriented tail fin. It has robust jaws with interlocking, conical teeth and tiny eyes. It has numerous scars across its skin, and several of its tail fins are torn or otherwise damaged. A size comparison with a man's silhouette shows it be to around 14 meters in total length.

I talked about this on Tumblr already but I wanted to spread this a little further, unfortunately Twitter and Bluesky are not ideal for this type of content so I will work with screenshots.
In short: I DOUBT MANIPULONYX WAS A EGG SPECIALIST AND HERE IS WHY!

Dsung Intersex Crest

I believe that the original sketch (made a few years ago) was brought on by my anger at the invisibility of intersex people in the public eye, along with how their parents often treat them.

I had no idea what to do for the background tbh

Vector illustration of a pair of Qilin tungurensis, a middle Miocene giraffe, laying next to eachother. The male on the right is larger than the female, with tall, curved ossicones on its head, while the female lacks ossicones. They are both dark brown in color, with light grey around their faces. A spider web like pattern of white and grey on thier undersides forms the giraffe's characteristic spots. Text reads: Qilin tungurensis.

#cenozoicrewind2025 Meet Consoravis turdirostris!

#sciart #vectorart #paleoart
Vector illustration of Consoravis turdirostris, a tiny near passerine bird from Eocene Wyoming, perching on a branch of the "Clarno Plane" Macginitiea wyomingensis. It is yellowish brown in color, with a white and yellow underside, white spectacles and bright yellow spots on its tail feathers. The leaves of the tree are large, serrated and five pointed. A long axis dangles with dried up fruiting bodies, some with a few seeds and whispery fibers still attached. Text Reads: Consoravis turdirostris. Daniel T. Ksepka, Sera Bertelli, Amy M.

A colored-pencil sketch of an early-Pleistocene red-backed vole (Clethrionomys sibiricola) on a blank white background. The vole is standing with one forelimb raised up in a relatively neutral pose, with its tail curling around. Its fur is generally rusty brown with a more reddish back.

Anchitherium sensibly responding to the current situation. Btw, a lot of early horses seem to have big preorbital glands and more people should draw that.
A simple, pencil-drawn two-scene comic on paper. The first scene is of a stick-figure Anchitherium giving the middle-hoof to some rows of data-center supercomputers in front of it. Bold, italicized text above it reads: “To hell with the bots!” The second scene is a front view of the Anchitherium’s face, now much more detailed, as it opens its mouth wide in a scream while explosive puffs/jets of musky mist come from the scent glands on both sides of its face. Bold text below it reads: “*Scent-marks your Supercomputer*”.

Tonight’s flocking-together #Paleostream was nothing but synapsids, three gorgonopsians in a row (Dinogorgon, Viatkogorgon, and Njalila) and then the Pleistocene South American horse Hippidion. #paleoart #sciart #permian #pleistocene
Black-and-white pencil sketches of four prehistoric synapsids: three different gorgonopsians in a column on the far left side of the page, and then a scene of two Hippidion taking up the rest of the space. The top gorgonopsian is Dinogorgon, rolling around on the ground happily. The middle gorgonopsian is the small Viatkogorgon, swimming above the viewer with a temnospondyl in its mouth. The bottom gorgonopsian is a bust of the newly named Njalila, just yawning. The two Hippidion that take up most of the paper are a pair of stallions fighting in the open habitats of the high Andes. One of them is in the process of kicking the other’s snout, likely breaking the long nasal bone characteristic of this genus. In the distance, a Spectacled Bear stands up to get a better view of the battle.
