Doing some #paleoart practice but this time on #Dromaeosaur arms using either shapes or anatomy. Thought it would be fun to do something related more to #Paleontology though using #Clipstudiopaint for #DigitalArt is still a bit of a challenge. At some point I'll get more confident with shading.

Canids are tricky to draw from the front it seems.

Still can't get the lower jaw right. Weirdly enough, drawing skulls seem to be easier than drawing an actual Allosaurus head with skin on, are there any diagrams for Allosaurus facial muscles? Timelapsed to show no AI. #Paleoart #Dinosaurs #Paleontology #Allosaurus #BigAl #Art #DigitalArt

Chatgpt then claimed that Alioramus and Qianzhousaurus are members among many other incorrect things. I highlighted every wrong thing, and pointed out that LLMs give different papers equal weight and does not consider discourse and refutations. #paleontology

So I decided to show my students that they should not use LLMs to give them paleoinfo. I showed them the input, "What are the defining characteristics of the Tyrannosaurini".

Thankfully my established students no longer have a "Well actually" type of tone when new students say the term Sabertooth Tiger. They do stiffen though, and let me make a correction to the new students, because it is not fair to talk down to the new kid just because they had bad info. #Paleontology

I wonder if I should just randomly post some random West African history facts, like, if I want to talk about the political style of the Dahomey when they entered their dualism era.

One of the issues I have come across when teaching African history is people putting some of these cultures on a pedestal because of the continent they come from. They were human, subject to the same vices, desires and capacity for good as any other culture throughout history. Still, fascinating.

I shall plug my deviantart link to give further context behind this image of the Igbo Alusi known as Ikenga so that the cultural and religious significance behind everything in this art that I commissioned. www.deviantart.com/ikechi1/art/... www.deviantart.com/vivianmeow #Africangods

Hmmm. Might just use this place to talk African history and myths. Also prehistory, especially mesozoic prehistory
