Playing more with the #Baleen world setting, I thought it'd be fun if they'd started keeping some of the "shrimp" of their world as pets. And then it reminded me of sea monkeys, so I decided to roll with it and add in a few other features from other prehistoric critters. #speculativebiology

A page of drawings of "Sea monkeys 2.0"
They resemble a hybrid of brine shrimp and anomalocaris. Includes descriptor text talking about the shrimp being kept as pets, being used as signs of fertility, and eaten as snacks.

artists! QRP with a piece that was an artistic turning point for you in 2025 🫶🏻 For me it was a this one I've done for @paulscottcanavan.com mentorship ! I learnt so much and I really pushed my limits, and allowed myself to see bigger !

An artwork showing a strange aquatic humanoid creature, with blue skin in a chitonous armor having fun riding an armored anomalocaris in similar colors. But below her a giant creature is swimming, and the head of the monster is going in her direction...

Now let's finish out #InverteFest with my favorite extinct invertebrate, anomalocaris! This is the first of four I've made (so far) and is based on a story I'm writing about the god Thanatos through deep time. :D The other three will be posting later today, so stay tuned.

Four views of a simplified anomalocaris in plushie form, made from a galaxy print fabric. It has large, golden eyes with dark pupils, which aren't exactly accurate, but are drawing from some specific artwork where the compound eyes have an illusion of pupils. It also has an accurate mouth with potentially inaccurate but fun triangular teeth set inside it, made from faux mother of pearl triangle beads. The whole plush is roughly 10 inches long.

Hello, #InverteFest and happy almost-2026 (or already 2026 for some peeps!) Have anomalocaris plush #2. This one is based on the wikipedia illustration, though a little more simplified/chibi.

Four views of an anomalocaris plush in warm, crab-like tones of red and orange, sporting yellow eyes with slit black pupils. It's on a background of cool-toned minky fabrics piled up to vaguely resemble an abstract seascape.

A simple flat-colored line picture of an anomalocaris, from wikipedia, which is extremely accurate and has far, far more segments and bits to it than the previous plush.

I forgot it was #FossilFriday! Here are some Anomalocaris* bits 🧪 *I think the mouth is Peytoia - I didn't read the signage today, but iirc the display covers the patchwork discovery of the weird shrimp

Four fossils - two frontal appendages, a mouth, and a full body.

The final anomalocaris! I probably should have done a proper photoshoot, but this was a gift for a friend, so I didn't manage it. Happy New Years, invertebrate fans and #paleoart enthusiasts. And happy #InverteFest !

An anomalocaris plush, held up against a sadly busy background. It has glass eyes with a hexagonal compound type background, with its back in blues and greens, and the side-fins and feeding arms in dark purple.

The same anomalocaris plush flipped upside down, showing that the belly is tomato red-orange, and the mouth has white little teeth on a black background, with dark red undersides to the various fins.

The same anomalocaris plush, centered on the eyes and front feeding arms, which are eggplant purple, while there are sclerites in midnight blue, and of course the eyes are golden with orange hexagons.

A front view of the same anomalocaris plush, showing the eyes on short stalks, a hint of the feeding tentacles, the front sclerite, and the back in a teal blue, while the head is in more of a blue-green.

Yes, everyone stressed out about modern life should read/learn about the Burgess shale. (And then maybe buy an anomalocaris plush? I don't *mind* the stack but I really only need one.)

Not seasonally appropriate (unless you're from the southern hemisphere ig)

Two identical anomalocaris, a type of extinct aquatic arthropod-like organism vaguely resembling a shrimp. The one on the top is wearing two mittens on the appendages on its face, the one on the bottom is wearing mittens on each of its multiple lobes/fins along its sides. Caption reads, "If Anomalocaris wore gloves, would it wear them like this... or this?"

only a few words needed to be said. (For AlphaLightning00 on r/Webfishing)

An anthropomorphic Webfishing cat named Jeff (OC belonging to u/AlphaLightning00 on reddit) holds an opulent-rarity, floating anomalocaris in his hands. In Jeff's thoughts, he is enthusiastic about this catch, which contrasts his outwardly stoic appearance of him just saying, "cool." #furry #furryart #webfishing #art
