ITS OFFICIALLY #paleoctober 2025!
I had a lot more time to draw this guy than I typically had to draw any given prompt last year, but I mostly used that time to experiment with stuff and figure out linux driver bs with my tablet.
Also my initial reference for the skeleton apparently had a ridiculously inaccurate skull, so that was fun.

Haven't posted here in a LONG time, but I want to fix that. Starting with this year's #Paleoctober ! A personal art challenge that I've been doing for the past two years where I'll drum up a list of prehistoric animals, randomly assign them to a day of the month and try to draw one each day.

To my knowledge I'm still the only person that takes part in this, and if I was smart I would've posted about this in advance to give people time to prep, but I hugely encourage people to take part if want

What is that sound?
It’s FINALLY the sound of this year’s #Paleoctober in barging in!
One simple rule: each day, you will draw an extinct species, and explore the tree of life in the process.
Don’t forget to use the hashtag #Paleoctober2025 so that I can boost!
Good luck!

The #Paleoctober challenge will be back this year!
Will be posted before the 1st of October so you have time to research before grabbing your pencils and your tablets 👌

Today's collection of #leaf sketches. This time, they're all (more or less) #Baiera, a leaf which was incredibly similar to #Ginkgoites, but often more divided with narrower lobes.
Oh, and also a few #dragons.

This tweet will never have much reach because it includes a dreaded ✨link✨ (Twitter hates external links), but I’ve made a page on my website to showcase this year’s (and previous years’) #paleoctober list, in case you lose it!

Very good infographics on what Ptychodus probably really looked like⬇️
Thank you again!

I've still seen many people reconstruct Ptychodus as a benthic cartilaginous fish with spiny fins that looks like a hybodont or bullhead shark. That's not how Ptychodus looked like!

Just realized that with
🔸Ptychodus (a shark),
🔸Euproops (horseshoe crab),
🔸Metriorhynchus (marine croc)
🔸and Opabinia (Burgess shale weirdo),
the first week of #Paleoctober kind of feels like:
