Adventurers beware when wandering near bodies of water, as they might encounter an apparently innocent, ethereal looking horse. It might look friendly and approachable, but will drag and consume under the water anyone as soon as it gets the chance: the Kelpie (Abyssohippus falaciter). #dungeonmeshi

Seabirds of the Artechocene Oceans: The Anthropogenic Extinction Event was devastating for ocean ecosystems and the seabirds that relied on it, with only a few groups surviving the event. 39my later, life has recovered and now new seabird groups dominate the seas: (info below👇)

When travelling in open water by boat, adventurers beware of a creature capable of killing sailors from a distance, luring them into the water to eat them using their unique, possibly vocalisations: the Mermaid (Sirena uroscelis). Another Dungeon Meshi piece, hope you like it! :>

A species adventurers dread to encounter in the dungeon, not necessarily because of the direct danger they pose, but because of the possibilities their presence indicates, either the larger predators they follow or the disease their feces can spread: the Harpy (Foeminornis gynotops). #dungeonmeshi

Incubomurum domus, commonly known as "house meat", is an amorphous vertebrate that lodges itself in the empty spaces of buildings. Originally evolved in caves, it quickly adapted to human dwellings and their ample feeding opportunities. They may also cause structural instabilities to the foundation.

An office ceiling with drop tiles. Some of the tiles have been removed, revealing a large fleshy mass that encompasses the whole space. It is intertwined with the rods, cables and piping of the building.

Slithering through the lush reefs and seagrass meadows of the Indian Ocean lurks a slow, calculating predator, one of the biggest and most dangerous one can find in these waters. The largest non-tiamat snake of the Artechocene, the Tyrant Shesha (Nagaraja imperator).

Growing in the lower levels on surfaces with enough light and water available, the Dryad plant (Anthaie anthropoides) may first seem like unassuming vines. However, the wonder, and danger, of this plant comes during its flowering stage, with complex mobile flowers ready to attack would-be threats.

Sketching some Artechocene herbivore ideas: a frilled deer which grow multiple antlers around it; a venomous small antelope that whose toxins derive from its diet; an ungulate that uses neural spines with keratin tubercles to fight conspecifics and predators and a brotopakinus, an aquatic hyrax.

Just before things started to nosedive on twitter, I posted a thread that walked through the massive body of work I did over the last three years (on an inspiring team) on the cancelled Project Dragon aka Everhaven. For posterity I reckon I'll repost that thread, piece by piece, over here ✨

colorful key splash art for Project Dragon- a group of adventurers (a musical ocarina golem, a rider mounted on a wyvern, a dimunutive cat person and a pet pinoceros) crest a hill over a sun-drenched landscape with billowing clouds and distant ruins. In the sky above, a character composed of constellations spreads their 6 arms and welcomes them to the world.

first art of 2025 is a fish! starting off strong a female Oncorhynchus rastrosus, the spike-toothed salmon. it's commonly misrepresented as a massive sockeye salmon with tusks slapped on, but we know that they didnt undergo any drastic levels of sexually dimorphic remodelling #sciart #fishart

A female Oncorhynchus rastrosus swims infront of the camera in cloudy water full of plankton

O. rastrosus is a massive extinct salmon that reached around 2.5m in size, it's also called the spike-toothed salmon due to the two teeth on its top jaw jutting out to the sides, these were present on all individuals. it was a planktivore like its extant relatives O. keta and O. nerka

I've been lousy at posting new art this year, so here's something #paleoart -related that I've been tinkering with between other jobs. What is this weird, #dinosaur -like animal? My patrons know (rattle rattle: www.patreon.com/markwitton), and you might too, one day. #sciart

A peculiar, green, beaked predator runs on two legs after a small racoon-like creature through a forested clearing. The predator has a savage-looking hooked bill and a long, angular face, and has subtle vertical striping with light undersides. The smaller animal has a dark "bandit mask" and fluffy tail. It is scared.

Extremely high effort Lilin revamp in the style of a scientific illustration. Although she's heavily inspired by sea slugs and copopods (among other aquatic, "squish" invertabrates as I call them), she's not supposed to be one specifically. Just a fictional brain parasite #InverteFest

My attempt at making a lithographic, scientific illustration of my brain parasite oc Lilin.

Her scientific name has been drawn over with a black pen and the name "Lilin" is written in cursive in it's place. There's three views of her Longitudinal Fissure Dam (LFD). A expanded superior view, a withdrawn superior view, and a expanded inferior view. In the center of the drawing is two images of her stalk. One labeled extended and one labeled contracted. To it's left and right are two views. One of her LFD not extended and the other is how it would be if she was in a brain. Bottom center is her Pith body drawn in Superior and inferior bisection views. To the left is a diagram of where she sits in a brain. It's labeled "Fig. 1. Bisection of a host human brain with a specimin fully integrated. Fore-LFD spread out as if on the frontal lobe." To the far right-bottom is a size comparison to a human hand. "Fig. 2. Size comparison to a human hand.
Mature specimens are roughly ten cm when spread out on a flat surface."

There are numbers pointing to different parts of her anatomy. Numbers coincide to the following.
1. Stalks — 2. Neural Handle — 3. Dendrite Webs — 4. Arms — 5. Stalk Sheaths — 6. Suction Disk — 7. Stem Base — 8. Peduncle — 9. Dam Pedestal —
10. Stalk Cord — 11. Oral Skirt — 12. Mantle Skirt — 13. Dendrite Cirrus Pits — 14. Modified Cnidosac — 15. Cerata — 16. Vestigial Eye Spots —
17. Unveiled Brain — 18. Mantle — 19. Reproductive Opening — 20. Sole — 21. Anus — 22. Stomach — 23. Rhinophores — 24. Oral Tentacles —
25. Mouth — 26. Organ Sac — 27. Modified Cnidosac Glands

Some time ago I had an idea for a paleoart book that I would love to write together with a poet. On one page they would write a little about a painting of mine, the next I would paint something based on their poetry. A constant back and fourth.

Photographs, line drawings, and 3D models of the fossilized tracks of a small feathered dinosaur. The tracks imply a much longer stride length than would be expected from a dinosaur of this side, suggesting that it was engaging in some form of wing-assisted locomotion while airborne.

A low angle shot set in a forest of tall coniferous trees on an overcast day. A large, stork-like azhdarchid pterosaur towers over the viewer and dominates the scene. It has mottled, shaggy brown feathers with a light cream underbelly and neck, with green bits splattered throughout. Its great beak slices through the sky. One of its long winged arms is reaching towards the camera over a fallen log, where the viewer is hiding among a mess of branches and ferns.
