INTERNET QUEEN OF SHARKS AND BONES 🦈

DUNKLEOSTEUS TERRELLI
skeletal is finished with top, bottom, front back, and side views with and without the bony plates for clarity
bones-white
cartilage- gray
notochord - dark gray
thank you to Russell Engelman and his scientific consultation

and here is the dunkleosteus without the bone overlay for use as reference in life reconstructions
remember the plates are exposed but the flesh around them isnt shrinkwrapped, only the skin overlying the plates

some wonderful new research by engelman and collegues, wonderful job
modeling,lighting, and composition done by me
body textures done by @sharkingaround.bsky.social

Nessie

comm for @Baptistar2004 ! and their cool plesiosaur mermaid nessie
its always fun when i get to draw merfolk for a commission, because i get to draw what i like most!
aquatic creatures

An edmontosaurus bending its head down

A little life reconstruction to go with it

made a quick rig setup to show how the nuchal ligament would probably stretch on a hadrosaur as it bends its head down

Working in Mersharks clothing!
Using various sources and doing multiple eras, this is the oldest form of clothing Mersharks used to wear, made of rubbery kelp

I forget what it was actually but it’s a typo

FINISHED
Been working on Mershark bones for a Brie and I’m happy how they turned out

Oh that’s a fun one

They call them Sacabambaspis

this is just a little on the spot spec behavior but its based vaguely on modern behaviors derived to the extreme over 200 million years
these being the first true sophonts since the fall of man

hunting in packs comprised of a breeding pair and their daughters, with mature males leaving and living fairly solitary lives until finding a mate

the sharkopath and their relatives being extremely smart animals, having their own language similar to modern cetacean clicks and buzzs but using the bioluminescence running down their bodies and fins

ANOTHER realistic sharkopath
a descendant of trigonognathus, viper dogfish, that is a high speed pelagic predator with its front teeth adapted into whorls adapted for grabbing and ripping prey similar to mako sharks
using their bioluminescence to speak in an almost language

i got severely distracted today and so i made a little guide on odontocete mouths
baleen whales DO have it go that far back buuuut their jaws are weird as hell

An anthro kangaroo strikes a dynamic pose. She is wearing a tank top with a leather jacket and shorts

Thing I did for a friend to help stir up ideas
They are making a kangaroo vrchat avatar so I decided to do a partial kangaroo “study” for it

The first animals to live on land were tiny arthropods, escaping predators and eating food in fields of cooksonia plants.

a new ewa with the new tablet

Chapter 7: Antlers A closeup of Talita's antler shows the thin, soft coating of brown integument on the velvet skin. The bone underneath is about 30 centimeters long now. Her mouth is tight with a suppressed grimace and she is gripping her neck in discomfort. Dr. Henriques: They grew in again, huh? Talita: Yeah, third time this year. A wider shot shows Talita is sitting up on a tall, multi-segmented hydraulic operation table in a white tiled room with medical posters on the walls. She is in casual clothes, and the doctor is injecting a syringe into the muscles of her mid-shoulder. She already has a patch on her fore-shoulder from a previous injection. Talita looks like she'd rather be anywhere else. Dr. Henriques: Have you been sleeping at least 12 hours a day? Talita: ...Mostly… Dr. Henriques: And limiting your activity during the winter light cycle? Talita: I walk so much for work, I don't think it matters whether or not I do weights…

The doctor turns away from Talita to do something at the sink counter, and Talita begins to slide her legs off the operation table. Dr. Henriques: Well, if you want your cycle to be more regular– Talita: I know, I know. The doctor turns around the points at Talita, who freezes. Dr. Henriques: Hold still. One more. Talita: Another?? Dr. Henriques: We’re finally getting you up to date. She smiles and hold up another needle. Talita grimaces and grips her arm as the doctor administers another injection. Talita: It's not like there's anyone here I could swap germs with… Dr. Henriques: Orders from the top, Miss Dospaço. The doctor covers the last injection site with a wad of gauze and tapes it down, tearing off the piece of tape with her thumb. SFX: Riiip Talita walks out of the pan-sophont operation room, gripping the injection sites on her right side while ducking under the rolling garage door. Talita: Ow. I’m gonna be limping all day.

The doctor holds up a large round sticker with a rocketship on it and smiles. Dr. Henriques: Would a sticker make you feel better? Talita looks back over her shoulder at the sticker with wide, plaintive eyes. Later, Talita is sitting in the park on a picnic blanket behind the human apartments, in conversation with Gillie. She is wearing the sticker on her tank top.  Gillie: (ASL) Ask me questions in sign! Talita nods and holds up her hands.

Talita signs “Did anything interesting happen at work today?” in ASL. Each sign is drawn in the accompanying ASL translation. ASL TRANSLATION: TODAY YOUR WORK ANYTHING INTERESTING HAPPEN ? Gilie: (ASL) Good! But... She imitates Talita's question mark sign, a wiggling index finger. Gilie: I probably wouldn't use "?", I'd just sign the sentence with raised eyebrows. She demonstrates, signing a truncated version of the sentence: "Did anything interesting happen?" ASL TRANSLATION: ANYTHING INTERESTING HAPPEN (raised eyebrows indicating "?")

This week on #RunawayToTheStars: Talita gets her shots, a consolation sticker, and ASL language practice with Gillie.

Hey, putting a reminder out to researchers that I do skeletals for commission
If you have a paper that needs a skeletal diagram I’m your woman

I’d really appreciate it if you spread the word or refer me to folks who need skeletals
