#hell hippo

Because someone was talking about entelodonts

Daedon and archeotherium are the two most known, though daedon is much larger than their smaller archeotherium cousins which give me peccary vibes while daedon given me hippo

I’m still working out the nasal and cartilage structure and looks at more muscle structures on the jaw and face of these two

Both closely related to hippos and cetaceans more so than most bovid

“Entelodont Daedon yawning” updated

(Done while dealing with taking a few days off after the booster)

I looked at so many skulls and so many hippos, peccary, and swine heads. I may change the coloration of this one, and look more into both species of entelodont more, but I will have to finish owed work before I can take time to sit and do a more serious study.

I apparently like to draw these guys when I’m under the weather or have a headache. My sick beasties.

“Entelodont Daedon”

Updated my rough sketch on this guy and worked on the body and feet more, I feel satisfied with how they look now, gonna keep the red cause it’s a color and markings that have grown on me since working on reconstructing this weirdo.

I hope you enjoy their new slippers, looking at ungulate foot bones to compare anatomy and concluded they resemble closer to a camelid/pygmy hippo than to a bovid or other hooded ungulates.

Still working on the nose, but I think I might have it down finally. Been comparing a lot of nasal bones and their structures to get a better build on this guy.
