Playing with networked Plesiosaurs again in today's #inkyDays drawing. I'm loving this ink combination, so I tried it on watercolor paper too.

And that's a wrap for this month of daily drawings. I'll be starting new posts tomorrow. https://www.patreon.com/posts/157125081

Trying a different perspective with these Plesiosaurs in today's #inkyDays drawing. I liked it so much that I started one on watercolor paper.

Here's an in-progress shot. The rest is now posted for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/posts/157125081

This morning, I decided to finally attempt networked Plesiosaur motifs. I'm not sure what I think about them, yet. Certainly worth more experimenting.

Screenshot of a digital model of the holotype specimen of Plesiosaurus laticeps (=Attenborosaurus), which I downloaded from Morphospace here: https://www.morphosource.org/concern/media/000578242

I've been working on this specimen for over a decade, the paper has been rejected several times, and we ran out of steam, but now I'm coming back to it... and this 3D scan will help!

She discovered & excavated the the 1st 2 #plesiosaur skeletons ever found and the first pterosaur skeleton located outside Germany + many important fossil fish. Her research showed that belemnite fossils contained fossilised ink sacs like those of modern cephalopods. She was 1st to recognize that coprolites, known as bezoar stones at the time, were fossilized poo.⁠ 🧵5/5

Today is Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday! So, I'm thinking back to 2008 when he visited Trinity College Dublin and I got to reveal a cast of his namesake plesiosaur, Attenborosaurus, which I had prepared in anticipation of his visit. He talked passionately and eloquently about the Jurassic Coast. I should've smartened up for the occasion though! The specimen is now on display in the TCD geological museum.

In its founder’s later years, Krono General Products became less discerning about its clients and was known to sell to both WHISPER and SHOUT.

That makes four things with flats this weekend. Maybe I can ink and color Tyr and Borusa's stuff tomorrow?

@koboldfactory.bsky.social ’s Badnik OC, Kay. Seems to be an enhanced follow-on to the Rexon. Unexpected demand during resort construction resulted in a production contract being awarded to a toy company…

It’s a sauropterygian, I couldn’t resist.

A plaster cast of the plesiosaur Rhomaleosaurus cramptoni mounted directly into a wall in the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institute. Their curator for scale.

I took this photo many years ago. The specimen was later repainted (the green part was painted white to match the wall) and it looks even smarter and more impressive.
