Here's something i started last spring and left in a drawer to gather dust until now basically, last spring I played through the original Zoo tycoon (One of my big childhood games) and I wanted to paint all the prehistoric critters in the Dinosaur digs expansion. Went for more accurate reconstruction, but with game-based coloration.

Phew, I did not think I was gonna get this done in time c':

I really enjoyed making this pageset! I was tossing up doing a constellation type theme for Fade's story, but then I had a much better idea and,,, I love,,, cave art so much,,, Past humans making art of animals they actually saw is possibly my favourite thing ;v;

Also, I used a wild mixture of cave art from all over the place because I just wanted to experiment with different styles. Though Homotherium was present in all these areas at some time, so it's not impossible the artists saw them too! Note: none of the actual art I referenced had Homotherium depicted! I just used the artstyles and took liberties, so please don't use it to make up lies about late surviving Homotherium in Chauvet France lmao

Lowkey, would anyone be mad if I changed the style to be like the last page from now on? kidding, haha... Unless... Kindred of the Mammoth is on Comicfury as well!
