It's worth noting that since this photo was taken, the skull on the Allosaurus mount has actually been changed to a cast of DINO 2560. Apparently the original skull cast was beginning to slide off the mount (and was lacking in a lot of detail) so it was replaced in Spring of 2016.

Best of all, there is a wide variety of prehistoric fauna to choose from. Don't care for drawing dinosaurs? No problem! This collab, much like the exhibit it's based on aims to show a sampling of a little bit of everything during life on earth. (3/4)

The idea of this collab is to artistically re-imagine fossil mounts and displays seen in the fossil collections of one of my all time favorite museums. The more styles, the better (2/4)

In some fairness, the holotype was missing the back of the skull and many other jurassic pterosaurs have large antorbital fenestrae. Anurognathids having the big orbit is an exception that doesn’t follow the typical patterns so it was reasonable to assume that was the AF in 1999

crazy8wizard @crazy8wizard.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Considering how many other animals in Walking with Dinosaurs were reused models, I'm not surprised. Now I wonder if the Anurognathus is modified from this base as well

Got back into the groove of digital paleoart and made a new design featuring some of my favorite gnarly WIS fish: Enchodus, Cimolichthys, and Xiphactinus!

I somehow managed to find TWO full odds shiny Pokémon in Scarlet less than 24 hours apart from one another. I don’t have the shiny charm, didn’t make a sparkling power sandwich, and neither were mass outbreaks.

Shiny Stunky. Normal coloration is purple.

Shiny Psyduck. Normal coloration is yellow.

I found this one with quite possibly the creepiest Trekkie Monster possible. Also two slightly too humanoid puppets that I think based on what I assume this scene to be are Nicky and Princeton?

Okay Google, find me the nearest BJ’s restaurant. The amount of weird trinkets I could put in this is insane but I think the 100+ tiny rubber ducks would probably be a good choice

Much like their vertebrae, sauropod ribs are also pneumatic and have large foramina and fossae in the rib heads. Many of these are so large you could put your finger into them if you wanted. #FossilFriday

Since Bluesky is gaining some more traction recently I thought I’d post some of my art backlog. For this post here are 3 drawings I did for various classes I hosted at my local geology museum.

Sherlock Bones. A Torvosaurus spoofing Sherlock Holmes created for a clue-type puzzle game called Dinosaur Mysteries

My Dinner with Allosaurus. A drawing of a Nanosaurus and Allosaurus having a meal together. Created for a lesson about prehistoric dentition and feeding styles called Dino Dinners.
