February sticker club theme reveals: Spotted Turtle, Red-Spotted Newt, and Rose Weigeltisaurus and Seyourmia. 🌹

Join my Patreon by February 28th to receive your choice of herpetology, prehistory, or both sets of stickers in March!

Though these stickers won't ship until after Valentine's Day, I couldn't help but be inspired by the holiday for the Seyourmia design, which is based on the Tambach Lovers fossil (image source).

Happy Valentines Day

Here is my favorite couple from Thuringia, the Tambacher Liebespaar (tambach lovers). A fossil of two skeletons of Seymouria sanjuanensis from the Bromacker quarry

I'm back!

There are some sketches for my spec project. For example, on first art you can see fictional spesies of Thelyphonidias (vinegar spiders): they make complex network of burrows, using vinegar for dissolving limestone (real vinegar spiders only defend themself whith this acid). Another difference between real and my Thelyphonidias? Fictional ones are blind and also bigger.

Other picture show desert descendants of Seymouria. In my opinion, Seymouria deserves more love, because they are just scaless* lizards, who lays caviar and they lavra is literally fish with fins and inner gills (in other terms they are Pokemon probably).

* Some old theory tell that early Amniote and their relatives have scales, but they wasn't fully keratinized. In fact, they was soft exept their edges. And I love this idea.

P.S. Sorry for bad English.

"A sail-backed Dimetrodon splashes after three Diadectes, while a 60-cms (2-ft) long amphibian, Seymouria, remains atop a fallen log. Attaining lengths of 3 m (10 ft), Diadectes was a reptile-like amphibian that made up much of the pelycosaurs' diet."
