I just realized that apparently I never shared this series here on Tumblr??  

I call it Living Paintings, as they are recreations of extinct animals that some artists actually saw and painted from memory, a long time ago.

OK SO a frozen baby Homotherium mummy has been found in Siberian permafrost and everybody is going nuts (including me). I had to make another installmente for this series with a figurine that has long been debated to either depict either a lion or Homotherium; Despite anatomical details pointing to the latter, there was no record of surviving Homotherium from the time the figurine was dated to have been made, so it was mostly believed to have been a cave lion. However, the frozen cub closes that temporal gap and makes it more likely that this was in fact the subject of the sculpture. So even though it’s not a painting, here it is brought to life.

Two new updates:

A remake of the first ever piece I did for the series, the Megaloceros, given that although the piece of cave art I chose is often labeled as being that species, a more critical look to the antlers in particular makes me think it’s a red deer instead. I picked a more agreed-upon depiction of Megaloceros and also took the opportunity to make it a little more anatomically accurate.

A bunch of recent world building. I've been doodling on regional differences, and revamping the anatomy of some species. Such as Fayons, Camsabi, and Loruz.

Group drawing is individuals of sophont species in eastern Hantorn. Comprised of a Meenki, a Fayon, two Werins, a Biehtim, a Loruz and a Minfil.

Other images consist of Meenki and Camsabi regional differences. Revisited design of Loruz (jackalopes) and doodles of Gorunes.

DINO BIRD (2017) dir. Edward Saltau

[darksilvania]

PARALOUSE (Bug/Water), SQUAKER (Water) & PARASCYLLA (Bug/Ghost) PARALOUSE (Parasite/Louse/Perilous) is a small bug type pokemon that lives among the corals, it awaits for a fish pokemon with a mout big enough to jump in, where it will eat and replace that pokemon's tongue. Once it has gained enough strenght by weakening its host it will evolve

PARASCYLLA (Parasite/Scylla) the "Mermaid" pokemon. It emerges from its host's mouth, the one it completely fills. At this point its host is competely taken over, becoming PARASCYLLA's new tail. To further keep its "tail" in place, it will stick its lower legs through the fish's gills, securing it in place.

SQUAKER (Squawk/Cracker) is a parrot fish pokemon that inhabits the same coral reef where PARALOUSE can be found, they love to feed on coral using their strong beaks to cut and swallow large chunks of it, which sadly makes it the perfect victim for PARALOUSE. How ever if SQUAKER manages to avoid becoming infected by PARALOUSE it can evolve into the dangerous PARROTEER (Parrot/Privateer)

PARROTEER (Water/Dark) is PARASCYLLA's natural predator, it preys upon PARASCYLLA with extreme prejudice, using its massive size and hard-as-rock head to knock them out, it then uses its bolt cutter-like beak to cut them in half by the waist, feeding only on the upper bug half and leaving the tails to sink to the bottom

PARALOUSE is based on the cymothoa exigua, a type of parasitic isopod that attached to fishes mouths replacing their tongues

PARASCYLLA is based on a twisted version of a mermaid with some inspiration is the Greek monster Scylla, a creature with the upper torso of a woman, but a lower body made out of heads and tails

SQUAKER is based on the Steephead parrotfish and its colors are based on the Scarlet Macaw

PARROTEER is based on the Humphead parrotfish and its colors are based on the Dracula Parrot, as well as being based on a Pirate

PARROTEER hunting and feeding only on PARASCYLLA is a reference to Pirates hunting mermaids as represented in some myths and popular media, like Peter Pan or Pirates of the Caribbean

At the moment, SQUAKER is the only suitable pokemon available in PARALOUSE's habitat for it to attach, but, if more pokemon were avaible it could attach to them as long as they met certain criteria: -Being a Fish (No mammals, reptiles of crustaceans) -Having a big enoug mouth Here are some examples of PARASCYLLA using other fish pokemons as its tail

The only exception to this rule being Gygantamax PARASCYLLA

i remembered my old fic species of birds and their scientists. making more world building (just like with these birds and maybe some other species being the dominant species, and humans are extinct, or at least thought as extinct depending on whatever i decide to bring them in yes or no) and made a guy. a very grumpy, old anthropologist with the horrible habit of ripping his feathers out.

Got the chance to do a refined sketch commission for theroyalfowl over at FA a while back, of his character Moa packing up some medicinal herbs and such.

I know more about economics than AOC and my knowledge on economics is on a high school level. Its actually embarassing how little she knows about this shit. But hey, expecting a socialist to know about economics is like expecting a fish to know what a desert is.

You know what? Let’s use the allowance example again to make it even clearer.

Let’s pretend we have an allowance tax bracket with a 70% tax on money received after a certain point. To keep things simple, we’ll make the limit $90.

If a kid does chores and earns $10 in allowance, they get $10. They’re not going to be affected by the 70% tax.

If a kid does chores and earns $50, they get $50. They also aren’t in the 70% tax bracket, even though they make five times as much money as the kid making $10.

If a kid does chores and earns $100 in allowance, then they’re in the allowance tax bracket with the 70% tax.

$100 minus $90 is $10. This is the part that’s going to be taxed 70%.

70% of $10 is $7.

So the kid getting $100 in allowance will have $93 after the 70% tax takes its share.

Now, I’d never impose such a thing on actual kids. All of this is a thought exercise.

But if it were real, the kid making $10 and the kid making $50 would probably be kind of mad if the kid getting $93 was bitching about being short $7.

Also AOC majored in economics (actually one of her two majors) so step the FUCK off my congresswoman tyvm

[Image ID: There are three monochrome sketchy cartoon drawings of Kulindadromeus, a small feathered plant eating dinosaur. In the first image, the Kulindadromeus is angrily yelling at a couple of beetroots on the ground in front of it. In the second image, the Kulindadromeus is sitting in a nest of leaves that it is supposed to be sleeping in, but it is sitting upright with crossed arms and an angry expression on its face, with the words “well now I am not doing it” written next to it. In the third, a Kulindadromeus drawn in a different cartoon style sits and smiles at his two small white and fluffy babies sitting on his back. There is text above him that says “Proud dad” and a heart. End ID.]

Thank you to those who joined us for the 2022 Kulinday stream, it was lovely to hang out with y’all! My contribution to the stream was some art time, of course drawing our favourite little floof!

The first two drawings were based on the ordeal of trying to please the modded Kulindadromeus in @shadows-and-science-gone-mad‘s game of Zoo Tycoon 2. The little guys were angery and refused to eat or rest, instead choosing to yell at all manner of food and shelter that was offered to them. Kulinda says absolutely no beet root.

The third was based on some lovely Kulinda cartoon designs by @otussketching, and I had a go at drawing a Kulinda in his style. He certainly does it better than I do, but it was a fun challenge to take on!
