This is an art piece I made based on this giant squid photo using a model of parapuzosia that I made in blender. The backstory is just for flavour

A large Caribbean Reef Octopus sculpture made by Sahasa. Posed as if moving.

A real Caribbean Reef Octopus, its web ballooning as it's hunting for food.

A night photograph showing a calm, foggy sea as seen from a ship. It appears that, in the distance, a lighthouse is beaming with a strange green light. Two of the stars appear to be under the horizon line. Are those stars?

A small fishing boat has crashed into a rocky shore. Around it, three large black fish with glowing eyes thrash in a hunting frenzy. Each of them has a long stalk in their dorsal fins, ending in a glowing green lure. Between them, a single hand rises from the water, trying to grasp for help that is not coming.

Lighthouse Mimics (Farimendax carolinae) are pack hunters that evolved from deep-sea fish.
When a ship passes by, a lone hunter uses its lighthouse-like lure to trick the crew into redirecting the boat, leading it to crash into shallow rocks. The stranded sailors become the pack's next meal.

Hell yeah, gotta love special pentagonal tools

A fat pregnant baby has moved into my house.

the front cover of a zine i'm making about the perception & experiences of masculinity, "am i man enough for you?"

this zine aims to explore how ppl identify their masculinity, and where the similarities lie between cis & trans individuals

That stromatolite photo is mesmerising

Thank you, I hope they will care for me in my old age

My children have been brought into the physical plane

A shimmering oyster casts a faint glow in the dark. Within, a stillborn cow fetus lies in sleep, attached to the oyster through its umbilical cord.

Parapuzosia seppenradensis

Ichthyotitan severnensis

Just realised I've now modelled the (estimated) largest extinct vertebrate and invertebrate. Maybe I should make a little fella next.

Any chance I can get on that list?

Ichthyotitan severnensis - known from a huge partial surangular bone this Triassic ichthyosaur may have even exceeded the blue whale in length.

What a wretched creature

Holy shit, this is incredible work.

Proof of concept for an animation idea I have. The simulation definitely needs optimising if I want longer clips (took about 8 hours to bake) but render time was pretty forgiving.

Migrating Hydrotherosaurs will often breach during sunset.

An image of a plesiosaur like animal suspended from a crane on a boat, a fisherman looks on. 3d render made in blender.

In 1977 the Japanese ship Zuiyo-maru caught a highly decomposed carcass first assumed to be that of a plesiosaur. Though quickly identified as a basking shark, a recently uncovered image from the small New Zealand fishing vessel Karetai dating to 1975 casts doubt on this theory.
