Ceratosaurus was one of the animals placed on Site B that wasn't on Ingen's list(s). They created new breeds and sent the other animal to the Valley secretly hidden in Italy, where no nobody would find them.

A Ceratosaurus faces towards, with a Quilliam photobombing him in the back.

A cool color tone version of the same image. A Ceratosaurus walks out of the thorny bush with a blurry photobombing raptor that thinks you can't see him, in the background, naturally blurry as he escapes the depth of field.

Evolution of Dimetrodon depictions through the years. I was interested in putting this together, since it went from scaly to skinny to scaly again.

Various Dimetrodon depictions from 1897 to now, from a belly dragging scaly thing to a almost mammal on a non mammalian skeleton back to a scaly synapsid thanks to some basking impressions.

Was just asked by local Montanans to "Go Out There & Stop This Insane Logging, Llama!" i replied, i am Standing Down, again. No One CAME, not even you two when i needed help. Public groups mocked me being SHOT AT by Loggers & turned their back on Frontline Defenders. So, No. I can not. I'll Train u!

Camo Drone & equipment of DeforestationPatrol, JUST ran off into woods actively dodging Armed Loggers now searching for me, Took of pack to repack gear & Safie Selfie for Lawyers use if needed.

Loggers building the new 5mile logging road into ancient untouched EVER Oldgrowth Forest. Destroying wolf creek here & putting in a drainage pipe because i informed upon it to USFS...

On Hottest Day in Human History, loggers worked at Night to destroy American National Forest. While in daytime all people were banned from Public Lands due to Fire Danger...

Gallimumus in the desert- I wanted to try different habitats, particularly open ones.

2 (Jurassic parky) gallimimus among some rocks in a desert environment. The foreground one has blue and red stripe patterns.

a closeup of the head and ground of a presumably male gallimimus, nothing to eat on the ground. After I checked several weeks later I realized this is not the right environment for Galli's, I could do a floodplain someday.

Really taken with Haolong dongi, out today from Jiandong Huang, Pascal Godefroit and team. Just submitted news article on it. An iguanodontian with abundant hollow spikes across the neck and body, projecting from among conventional basement scales, and with rows of plate-like scales along the tail.

Acrocanthosaurus, given an extra high fleshy ridge on the back and neck, side view

An Acrocanthosaurus sketch, lateral view. Not a very detailed one with scales. I experimented with a soft tissue ridge based on Edmontosaurus. I wonder if this sort of feature could apply to some high spined species, though I wouldn't put it on Spinosaurus because I think its sail is high enough. Based on a skeletal reconstruction by Francisco Bruñén.

A brown theropod with a long snout (not a spinosaur) screams at a pyroraptor which screams at it displaying its wings in a threatening manner. Under the raptor's foot is a dinosaur corpse, partially obscured by the needles, whatever they are in this case.

I installed EA remakes onto Zoo tycoon 2, the only animals with designs that really bugged me are the extinct ones, they got often more cartoony designs and proportions than the extant animals. I didn't feel like also adding in the other mods to get the extinct remake so I customed it to do without.

Various animals. Back-Triceratops, a woolly rhino, a deinonychus, dodo at front, and an unmodded moose/elk to show I've kept the modern animal the same.

For the first illustration I did this year, I played around with the layer mask. I didn't understand it before so generally ignored it. That's how I blended in the structure at the right.

A gray foggy scene, a line of forest blends together in the background, and darker foreground trees occupy the left of the image. Some electricity poles line up along a road, which is indicated with a railing at the left. A building with service towers looms at the right.

These critters all lived in the first six million years of the Cenozoic and each one was, in its time, the biggest mammal that had ever existed. It took some work to balance the intended message, desired visual impact, and tech limitations, but I think the latest version of this display works well.

Some of the deer tracks I have gotten pictures of in my local park. They come in at night. Sometimes I get to see their tracks left in the following morning.

A close up view of an even toed hoof mark in moist soil. It must have been left by a White Tail Deer.

A deeper track left by a deer. to the right are two smaller prongs of the hoof and the left the front of the hoof.

A shallower mark left in a patch of dirt surrounded by grass. This was from just 2 weeks ago, the other photos are over a year old.
