A digital drawing of an early horse Mesohippus, that lived 37 to 32 million years ago. Just a small and fluffy horse creature against the dark background. There's a single star shining above mesohippus. The creature itself is light brown with some lighter, almost white parts on the neck, belly, head and legs as well. It also has some little stripes on the legs (almsot similar to those that some wild donkeys have). The mane is stiff and stands straight. There's a slight gradient on the body - from the head (grey) to the tail (more saturated light brown).

finished mesohippus. really happy with how it turned out, and learned a lot in the process

Palaeocampa is an exceptional lobopodian - it lived in rivers and lakes, bristled with thousands of poisonous spines, and more. 🧵
