Personally, I kinda liked the show.
I also wanted to experiment a bit more with the rendering.

Just a simple Lavendertowne fanart.
I find her avatar adorable.
Maybe I should check her channel. It's been a while since the last time.
Sorry for the late date. I had a busy week and this next one will also be quite busy.
Now about the artwork. For motives, I saw NazRigar post two renditions of this meme and I went "Maybe I should join this art trend too." Second, originally the species featured were supposed to be somewhat to scale but the miscalculation on my part made it impossible.
One last thing, originally Conquest was supposed to be a Continental Leucrocotta, but then I realised there's a Daydreamer subspecies that's called Warmongers... whose look is quite threatening... and that one part of their culture was ritual scarring... and one prominent individual was BLIND ON ONE EYE... The're were to many paralers to ignore.
And without any further ado, let's go to the characters:
Thragg with the skull of Argall - Steppe Sylvanspark of the male protector form, holding the skull of Fork-tailed Babbling Jay - the first sophont of Serina
Thula - Thalassic Gravedigger
Anissa - Reaper, a sapient subspecies of Aukvulture
Conquest - Daydreamer whaler
Lucan - Woodcrafter
Kregg - Woolly Wumpo
A viltrumite woman - Whisperwing
A viltrumite man - Continental Leucrocotta
I like listening to her videos during drawing process.
Also her tips helped me improve my own art.
Today I'm posting something that I usually don't make. So for context, a while ago I came across a ELIOLI ( or ELIOLIArt ) chanel on youtube run by two sisters. What took my interest was their latest project called "Genesis". Namely, it's a movie ( well planed movie ) that will adapt The Book of Genesis - the first book of the Bible and is going to portrait the antediluvian world.
This project however promises a more mature and dark take on this story. To quote them, they promise a "Unapologetically HONEST HOPEFUL ( and ) WEIRD" project that is going to be visually stunning.
While this does sound like a lot, the animatics they posted are incredibly well made. Because of that, I wanted to draw the simplified versions of their renditions of Adam and Eve holding a fruit of knowledge of good and evil with eyes o the Serpent looming over them in the background.
I anyone's interested, feel free to check them.
One more thing. I've posted this early because today's also the day of the kickstarter for the move.
300 years into the future...
It is 2331 and civilization has ended. Human population dropped from 10.1 billion souls at its peak in the 2050s, to "measly" 900 million now. That population is further spread out over the six continents and is steadly decreasing. Never before in its history humanity experienced anything like this since Late Bronze Age Collapse.
The end didn't came sudenly as many thought it would. The long centuries of mounting wars, plagues, climate change and general degradation of natural environment eventually pushed human civilisation beyond its breaking point. Crops of industrial plants, genetically modified for the biggest yield possible, were repeatedly decimated by natural disasters and diseases. The same happened with lifestock like cattle.
It was only a matter of time until this took its toll on humanity itself. As food sourcess disappeared and natural disasters increased in serevity, diseases ravaged the population. This had a twofold consequencess. First, most eminent one, many large cities, especially close to the sea, became depopulated. Without large manpower to conserve these cities from the stresses of the surrounding weather, they began to crumble and decay. Most suburbies disappeared long ago under a thick blanket of plant cover. Even city centres made from steel and concret aren't save from corrosion, as already some once towering scyscraped had tuned into piles of rust and humus. Second consequence was the loss of knowledge. This was, in the long run, even more harmfull to the humanity than the direct damage to the infrastructure. In a world where resourcess and tools became limited, there's simply no insentive to pursuit knowledge. Even once common skills like reading and counting are becoming locally scarce. Currently, the ever shrinking army of scribes is fighting a losing battle against the world in order to preserve knowledge.
Even if another Renaissance comes after this modern Dark Age, it may not exist for long. The infinite hunger of industry had squised Earth dry of easy to extract ores like copper or lithium, meaning that new generations may be denied of advanced techologies that once brought them into prominence. At the same time, climate remains unstable, meaning that large scale disasters aren't that improbable. It seems that humanity will never regain the previous heights.
==================================================
We're in what used to be New York City. At its peak, it was the most populated city of the United States and the financial capital of the world. Now it's a shell of its former glory. Many buildings are left in disrepair. Some of them had collapsed due to wars that took place in the last quarter of millenia, others were dismanteled for resourcess. Most however were simply abandoned, as shrinking population couldn't realistically maintain them and became to dangerous to live in. This is especially true in the Lower Manhattan, where due to ground sinking and sea level rise many buildings are now exposed to sea water. Now the only people who still live here are groups of fishermen.
But where humans still suffer, wildlife thrives. Rusting skyscrapers turned into colossal yet short lived vertical ecosystems. Many species of grass, vines, shrubs, other weeds and even trees had conquered floors once ocupied by people. Depending on the availability of water and sunlight, the composition of plants changes, ensuring suprisingly high species diversity. These plants on the other hand serve as food for numerous insects, birds and small mammals, with together form this strange ecosystem. However, most of these green towers will be gone in less than century, and in three more there will be nothing left of the city. The life however, will remain, whether it's 100 or 100 thousand years from now.

=========================
A while ago, I was working on speculative evolution project called "Beyond Tomorrow: A deep dive into strange aeons ahead" or "Beyond Tomorrow" for short. It was my take on how live could evolve in the future. I was inspired by the works of Dragonthunders and many others. For now, it's still on hiatus, but I recently got hooked up on the "Life After People" documentary and I really wanted to draw some overgrown buildings. I've choosed this oppourtinity to expand a bit on the earliest parts of this project.
If anyone's interested here you can check the enetire backlog of my project. Be warned however, as these are very old concepts from time when I was still drawing with crayons.
And with this piece I'll be going back to the two-week schedule in order to focus on studies.
Also you can view the other versions on my DeviantArt.
Happy Easter to all Christan and non-Christian guys and gals out there!
The character of Lu(cifer) Morningstar is from Hazbin Hotel by Vivienne Medrano, or Vivziepop.
The character of Joshua, the son of Joseph, aka Jesus is from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run by Hirohiko Araki.
At first I wanted to picture all animals present in the video, but after watching how they are spread out through the environments and time, I chosed to settle on the main stars - the pair of Kronosaurs.
For those who haven't seen the newest Dinosauria episode, here it is.
Birbs and such...
Anyway, happy April Fools Day folks!
Here are the iterations of the same artwork:

And a bonus image for something extra funny.
Let me introduce ya all to Leaf - a cute, little and completly normal fairy, beloved by everyone! She has only the best intentions in her mind a-and... yea I think you already can tell where this nonsence is going. In reality, she's a complete nut job at best and a raging psychopath at worst, something you could deduce from reading text in the speech bubble. I'm not even sure if I can leave it like that in the open.
Continuing, Leaf is a character from a game "Black Souls". Both this game and its sequel contains a lot of unsaviory content, that from a outside perspective may appear a bit shocking to say the least.
I would consider the entirely of this post as a mild spoiler, as she appears wery early in the game, basically in the begining.
BTW, here's the version without speech bubble:
A year ago, Taliesaurus on DeviantArt suggested me to take part in the at the time ongoing Dinoverse art contest.
During this time, the main point of this contest was to draw Moriarty - a large Tyrannosaurus and a "villain" of Dinoverse.
This time, the main model was Leviathan - a rather fitting name for the mosasaurus.
I chosed to draw him while breaching, that is jumping above sea surface like some modern whales do.
Expect me to see more dinos eventually.
I recently posted this artwork as my 250th post special. I call this... thing Verminture. Basically I combined vulture with vermin ( insects ).
Here's its basic description:
"Vermintures where one of many creatures used during siege of Autonoe Prime. It is impossible to know, what this creature looked like before, but now, after countless millennia of genetic engineering, this animal have turned into one of the most lethal beasts of war. What's interesting about this animal are its eight limbs. Four of those are roughly similar to that of vertebrates, although lacking true fingers. The front four limbs are shaped like those of insects, with can be fold like arms of a mantis.
Their wings are similarly shaped to that of bygone pterosaurs, as they soar the skies on the stretched wing membrane. Vermintures have two pairs of eyes, larger front eyes and smaller side eyes. This gives them both wide field of vision and binocular vision."
"I know he doesn't look like much now, but trust me. This little guy an- and bots like him... They're gonna change the world."

This a fanart of rather obscure ( I think ) one off episode by Dead Sound titled "Redone".
295 million years Post-establishment
As temperature began to drop again and atmosphere to thinn, most of the forests covering Serinaustra disappeared, taking most of its inhabitants. However, some of these animals manged to survive this ongoing collapse. This was the case of large, herbivorous canitheres like Manducus. Most of these animals adapted to still moist Austral Swamp, giving rise to species like Gumberoo or Marimonstrum. Few, however, nanadged to survive in the Southern Steppe - a wast, dry expanse covered in little more than grasses.
Such animal was Belua.
The Short-faced Belua, to be exact, is the most common species of its small genus of steppe-adapted foxtrotters, known as thornbiters. This animal is mostly hairless, covered in tough, dark-grey hide, with the exeption of yellow stripes and singular large spot on its snout, with is the same color. Such and odd coloration is a form of early warning for predators, a form of aposematism, as this animals has quite a temper. Because of that, even Sylvansparks and Slaughtersprinters will most often refuse to hunt Belugas, unless easer option is unavaliable. In comparison to its direct ancestor, Manducus, this animal is much smaller, reaching on average 4 feet ( ~120 centimeters ) at the shoulder. Belugas spend most of their lives alone, meeting only to mate, with occurs during late autumn or early winter, to ensure young will be born at the time of greatest availability of food. After birth, often singular pup will be reliant on mother for the first two years of life and after that will require additional two to three years to fully sexually mature.
The namie of its group is by no mean accidental, as they are, in a way, a Sernaustra's response to the thorngrazers of Serinarcta. Their ancestors, already equipped with large, flat teeth and powerful jaw muscles, only made their characteristics more extreme with them. Now, their skull is significantly shorter, so bite fore can be more easily applied to a singular point. Their jaw musculature is also greatly enlarged.
However, there similarities with thorngrazers end. First and the most important difference is that instead singular large front “tooth” grinding against the bottom one, these creatures process their food with enlarged cheek teeth. Another important difference is that Belua and other thornbiters are unable to process cellulose, especially in comparison to more herbivorous members of thorngrazer family. This is because they lack both specialised enzymes or multi-chambered stomachs. Despite that, they’re still capable of consuming food from wide range of sources, like fresh buds, fruits, tree bark, insects, living prey and carrion. They can also feed on bulbs, with are dug out with the help of its lower tooth.
While the world around them is dramatically changing once again and species slip into extinction, Beluas still continue to thrive. Thanks to their adaptations, these remarkable animals are near-perfectly adapted for the incoming condition, ensuring their survival, at least for now.
=========================
As the climate changed and boundless forests covering Serinaustra receded, they took most of its biodiversity with them, mostly animals reliant to tree cover. Some species, however, didn’t disappeared this easly. Animals closer to the forest floor fared on average much better than those above, especially burdles. Alongside them other creatures prospered as well, like small canitheres, dog-like tribbets. Some of them even, previously relegated to the shadows, saw rise to new evolutionary experiments, like Pricklehound.
Pricklehound is a member of, up to recently, a rather unassuming lineage of Southern foxtrotters that can trace its beginning almost to the very start of now gone hothouse period, some 25 million years ago.
When environment finally stabilised, ancestral foxtrotted quickly began to specialise. The lineage that eventually gave rise to Pricklehound and its relatives began to mostly feed on fallen fruits and insects living on the forest floor. However, they started eventually competing with small burdles and tribbats. Burdles, with their tough bills and strong limbs were better able to break down large fruits and tear logs apart to seek larvae hinding within them, while tribbats were better suited for chasing down particularly mobile insects. Instead going to extinct, however, these foxtrotters began to seek insects hiding where their competitors had no access to – underground. These molewolfes as we can call them, in order to better fit their new lifestyle, became better and better diggers. They also got smaller, a rather rare occurrence in environment rich in resources.
At first, these early molewolfs weren’t that well specialised to fossorial lifestyle. Many species still were spending substantial amount of time above the ground. However, with the advent of final stretch, some species were finally pushed towards greater specialisation. In many ways, these canitheres went a way not to dissimilar to that taken by wormslayers and other small bumblets.
Pricklehound belongs to more basal lineage of of these fossorial canitheres that once more grew in size, fuelled by decrease in competition. However this doesn’t mean that they gave up their previous lifestyle entirely. They still are capable diggers, feeding on insects, small terrestrial snarks, fruits and eggs. While they did increased in size, they are still very small creatures, barely reaching 30 centimetres, or just under a foot, in length, and with disappearance of plant cover, they would’ve been vulnerable to predation. Because of that, they are covered in sharp spines to deter potential hunters. For additional defence, they take rest in burrows dug by other creatures, like large burdles.

This time I'm posting two artworks in one post.
Attention! It's a Hamsters Parradise fanart of the later, unrealised parts of that project. Spoilers ahead.

500 million years post seeding
The world is ending. As HP-02017 and its sun slowly aged, the climate grew hotter and hotter. At one point there still were wast forests and rich grassland at the polar regions, but now even they are gone. The entire planet is now covered in either hot deserts or sparsely covered semi-deserts. Despite this, life still continues to go on as it did for the last half a billion years after finding itself on this planet.
If one found itself on this world, most of what they've seen would be little more than a desolate landscape. However, if they were lucky, they may have seen some remnants of the old biodiversity in the form of sparse vegetation, arthropods and some of the last living vertebrates. All of these creatures, however, would be unrecognisable to the untrained eye.
We may encounter an animal that, from far away, looks quite normal. It has a pronounced head, visible neck, four limbs and a tail – simply speaking, a typical animal, not so different from these seen on distant Earth. If we get closer however, the illusion of normality breaks in spectacular way. This animal does have head, but it lacks any features shared with it’s Earthly contemporaries. It has no eyes, no ears, no even proper mouth, with instead is replaced by seven tentacles of different shape. It’s also has twice as many “limbs”. Four main ones, these with the animal uses to walk, are long and thin, ending with singular hoof. The other four, the ones placed on the front, are much shorter, each ending with oversized claw. Instead of a proper tail, with is absent, this animal has a pair of skin flaps and long, stiff, tail-like structures. One could mistake this animal for an alien, twisted by the extremes of the planet. However, none of the present lifeforms are truly native to this planet. All of them share the same ancestry as every other known terrestrial organism. They are children of planet Earth, brought here during failed colonisation attempt. The animal present here also once upon a time was a quite inconspicuous creature. Despite hundreds of millions years of evolution, by sheer technicality, it still a vertebrate, a mammal, and a hamsters, like all other vertebrates on this planet.
This animals is a Doom Steed, one of the larger remaining species. This, however, is very relative, because it barely reaches 80 centimetres ( some 32 inches ) tall. This species is a highly derived descendant of Daggoths, with long ago came back to the surface and eventually started to grow in size when competition dropped.
This animal is mostly covered in hair-derived scales, similar to these covering their far relatives, the Rattiles, with also became increasingly derived in comparison to their ancestors. The eight visible limbs are in fact highly specialised front pair of limbs. The back pair on the other hand wasn’t lost but turned into the aforementioned skin flaps, internally supported by finger bones, and a pair of false tails. Although their ancestor also did had the facial tentacles, they weren’t near as specialised as they currently are. We can divide them into three types. First type are primary sensory stalks. These are the three most inner stalks. They are also the most distinctive ones, as their tips are ending with eyes, with evolved independently in several unrelated lineages of surface Daggoths. Second type are secondary sensory stalks or indeterminate stalks. These are the longest stalks the Dooms Steed has. Although they lack photosensitive nerves, they are covered in receptors responsible for touch and taste, with makes the work partially like taste buds in the mouth. Although they are used for manipulation, they aren’t as specialised for it as the last type as stalks, the manipulatory stalks. They are the shortest of the stalks, but they are also the most muscular out of them, they are used to grab vegetations and prey, with is further moved into the mouth, where it can be processed with its teeth.
Doom Steed is a social species, living in small groups of 5 to 10 individuals. Because of that, they need a way to communicate with each other. While convey part of the information with the usage of sounds, most information is send through visual and sensory means. They use their flaps for social display, with double down as heat releasing organs. They can communicate also through touch with the help of indeterminate stalks and sensitive tips of their false tails. These tails are also used in balance during fast running. The front claws they poses are used both in intraspecific fights and as a last resort to protect themselves from predators. Many older individuals, especially males, have scars on their thoraxes due to these fights.
Dooms Steeds are generalist omnivores, feeding on plant and animal matter alike. They eat mostly grasses, short shrubs, shroomors, arthropods, small vertebrates and rarely on carrion. From these food sources they also extract necessary water.
These animals reproduces reproduces rarely, in sporadic bursts of population. Their reproductive drive occurs shortly after periods of increased rainfall. During this time, the number of fights between males increases in order to ensure their reproductive success. Shortly after mating, females give birth up to 12 individuals. They at first look more like larvae, but they quickly grow in temporary rich environment. After environment becomes hostile again, they will be strong enough to follow the adults. It takes up two two years for them to fully sexually mature.
While doom steeds are well adapted to their environment, the temperature only continues to increase and soon, when Middle Terminocene give way to Late Terminocene, it will become to hot and dry even for them, and they won’t be the only victim in this extinction event. For now however, this desolate world is still their little paradise.

I don't know how to mark images as spoilers yet, therefore the warning at the start. I hope I didn't accientally ruined someones fun.
15 million years Post-establishment
As Serina entered the Tempuscene, the early warm and moist climate of previous Hypostecene was replaced with the cool, dry one. No more boundless forests of bamboo nor verdant grasslands cover the continents, as deserts, semi-deserts and even tundra spreads. However, by any meany, this still isn’t a “cold” world, like a distant Earth during the age of man. There are no grandiose ice caps at the poles nor wast, dry steppes, not yet at least. There are still plenty of refuges for species from the previous, more innocent age of abundance, clinging to their precarious existence. One of these refuges is a Central Anciskan Floodplain, lying just at the boundary between two rafting continents. This place is covered in wast forests of ( relatively ) derived bamboo, with long lasting stalks better adapted for cooler climate. Speaking of with, it is kept mild by the presence of encroaching, open sea and warm currents. Thanks to this, regional climate remains stable, free from drastic swings of temperature. Because of that, these forest are still home to many species now gone in other parts of rifing Anciska, from basal Axbils, Doodlebird, Stiltskins and, most importantly, Womblers.
These birds are still some of the largest organisms to walk the surface of Serina yet, outsized only by the bloated giants of the Kiran islands. However, the last five million years was not kind to them. Once upon a time, they roamed the entirety of Anciska, gorging themselves on the never ending buffe of bamboo leaves. Now the range of this genus is relegated only to a few sparse refugia, with the Central Anciska Floodplain being the largest. There the populations of them also remains the highest and most stable.
The Woolly Wombler is what we could call the most typical species of this genus. It is also the most widespread of the remaining Womblers. At the 6 feet ( or just over 180 centimeters ) tall, they may not be as big as their direct ancestors, they are still some of the biggest animals around. Because of this they spend most of their lives alone or in pairs. They mostly feed on fresh bamboo shoots, but they also capable of surviving by feeding on less edible plants during winter months. While the individuals of this species are mostly in dull, brown feathers, males possess a brightly colored faces.
Woolly Womblers start their life as a large, most often singular egg, weighting 12 pounds ( 5.4 kilograms ). After an incubation period of about a month and a half, the chick hatches. However, it is fully altricial and need the care of both parents to survive. At this time, the chick is feed exclusively with most nutritious fruits and shoots to quickly grow in mass. After another eight to nine month, the chick is strong enough to stand and follow their parents, with is also marking the onset of their first winter. However, they still will require the help of their parents for two more years before parting their ways. This time gap is also the most dangerous part of their lives, as they are to big to hide underneatch one of the parent yet to small to drive of predators. Speaking of with, young chicks fall prey most often to the Skykes - a group of omnivorous axbils that appeared recently, or large Falconaries if caught in the open. In order to increase their chances of survival, Woolly Womblers will stay near densly forested regions, where neither of these hunters can catch them easly. If chick dies at any point in this time, its parents will most often part their ways after a few short weeks and try again with a new partner.
If chick survives that time, it will finally reach the size in with they are parctically invincible to predators present in its environment. After another few short years, the individual will reach full sexual maturity, with females reaching it faster.
When the mating season approaches, usually solitary individuals unburdened by the offspring will begun to congregate into large groups that can exeed 60 individuals. It should be noted that, unlike earlier Womblers, Woolly Womblers are much less aggresive, with combat related deaths being relatively rare. Males most often engage in shoving and biting, combined with low chirping. Such approach ensures in higher genetic variety, as males that lost may try again later in life, reduces mortality at species-wide level and increases the amount of offspring.
However, despite being way better adapted than their ancestors used to be, their fate is already sealed. As climate cools and Central Anciskan Floodplain continues to rift apart. Little by little, the habitable range of Woolly Womblers and other related species is shrinking every year at the rate way to slow to notice. As the number of safe bamboo groves decreases and the dangerous travels between them become longer and longer, Womblers cannot efficiently protect their young from predators, with only continue to grow in size and ferocity. Even the adults aren’t truly safe, as they cannot feed themselves with more usual grasses or sunflower trees, yet another evolutionary novelty, especially in comparison to Aardgeese, with continue to diversify at a high rate. They may survive a couple more million years, but soon Womblers, the first giants of Serina, will be nothing more but a distant memory.
