A lot of feelings that are more than words (I guess, in a way, #paleoart)

A digital drawing, few simple drawings on a dark background. From top to the bottom, it starts with half of the Earth seen with its continents being placed like in the Middle Ordovician. Below it is a line, showing a process of life - from one little star, to dividing cells, to an embryo (it's all different creatures - fish, dog, tadpole, and a human).
Then, series of little drawings, showing different stages of life in different things. A plant emerging from the soil, a larvae, baby birds with their bright open mouths, pregnant horse with a star on its belly, very old human, and a dry plant in a pot with a leaf falling from it.
A fossil of a crinoid can be seen on the background, in some places nicely preserved, in some - scattered around, with segments seen as little stars.
The text on the picture says: "Let sunshine touch the memory of me again"

Following the previous part of it, from top to the bottom: mammal bones scattered around, a fossil of a trilobite on a rock, human remains, a piece of a fossilized plant, little drawing of an ammonite, a part of a thylacine seen in a little square, and in a square next to it - plate with fossilized fish, being shattered.
Below them is a line - an ornitomimus running forward, its fossilized remains, and on the right - same remains, but scattered around in little pieces.
The text goes through the drawing, saying "I will remain. I will remain. I will remain"
The first phrase is written normally, the second is written fast. The last one is poorly written by my left hand, without looking at the screen.

Smaugust Day 8 - Mineral 💎 Click for better quality + Full art in the replies! This took me a lot of time to finish, so now I gotta play catch-up with the prompts :'D #Smaugust2025 #SmaugustCircle

Veins of magic streak throughout Archai, giving life and power to the world. Special arcanophilic organisms grow and thrive along these places of power, and the denizens of this world rely on their presence for vital nutrients.
In the case of these wyverns, they have come to this ancient cliff to scrape away at a fossilized leyline. Eons ago, it was once a colony of arcanophilic bacteria thriving in an ancient sea. Though now it's power has been greatly reduced, it still has enough kick to power a dragons' special flame emitting organs, of which these small guivers are using to scare away the peaceful newcomers.

It's smaugust.... So here's a dragon that lives rent free in my brain. This is Smaug from the old animated hobbit movie! My grandfather loved this movie and I saw it on repeat when I stayed with them over the summer. Look at this handsome lad <3

I originally found this last year, but I'm gonna post it every year because it's rad as hell- an 1890s illustrator apparently misunderstanding descriptions of the bipedal dinosaur Laelaps being Kangaroo-like as meaning it was completely mammalian, and making an awesome spec evo monster. #paleoart

A cropped scan of a slightly torn newspaper page from the New York Journal, Sunday, October 4, 1896, featuring a very large black and white illustration of a massive, rat/kangaroo-like monster with a knobbly head, large fangs, and a raised mane of fur running along its back/spine, with a small paleontologist holding a fossil bone next to it for scale. The illustration is captioned "The Jumping Laelaps of 5,000,000 Years Ago," and the main article is titled and subtitled: "REAL AMERICAN DRAGONS AND MONSTERS, Government Fossil Experts Unearth a Collection of Mighty Aquatic Animals That Lived Five Million Years Ago." Another headline and article that is also in the corner of the image is "UGLIEST MAN IN ENGLAND, Sir Richard Temple, an Ex-M.P. Wins the Prize for Homeliness.

bluesky may not have an algorithm but that makes it imperative that people engage with and (share) artists work, especially work that cannot be easily filtered into a hashtag. likes, comments, etc. do not drive traffic the same way they did on twitter.
