Quick sketch of a large Terror Bird, something along the lines of Kelenken, Titanis, or Devincenzia. These huge flightless birds were apex predators in South America during the Cenozoic, and had a brief reign in southern North America until the beginning of the ice age. #paleoart #sciart #cenozoic
Black-and-white pencil sketch of a large terror bird (a member of the family Phorusrhacidae) in a walking pose with its head held low and its rounded wings spread out like a defensive owl. It is angled slightly towards the viewer with its head directly facing towards the left side of the page.

Behold, a non-mammalian shovel-tusker: (Trunk-lipped Tritylodont concept for my Kerguelen spec-evo project) #specevo #creaturedesign #synapsid
Quick pencil sketch of a very concerned/frightened stick figure person side-eyeing the head of a large gomphothere-like tritylodont (close cousin of mammals) from my personal speculative-evolution project.

Rough-sketched idea of how these non-mammalian cynodonts may acquire a trunk-lip, through increasingly specialized browsing with a hardened, then lengthened upper lip that gets increasingly grippy and muscular. A bit of #specevo for my personal Kerguelen project. #worldbuilding #illustration
A rough black-and-white pencil sketch of a sequence of snout illustrations, all of non-mammal cynodonts with increasingly long and trunk-like upper lips, showcasing how Tritylodonts with non-flexible lips may develop something that looks like an elephant trunk (although the nostrils remain up near the base of the trunk).

Thinking about an old spec project and how much I liked this frogwhale concept. I should revisit it at some point!

Oh BOY, what is this?! Well, something that I did on the side for a while now and that is finally available. I have been fascinated with glyptodont diversity for a long time, which goes beyond the shape of the carapace and tail weapons. These animals had bizarre faces...

Quick Deinotherium sketches, using their weird tusks for anchoring/resting the head while browsing and for intraspecific combat. Just exploring the possibilities of such a strangely shaped proboscidean. #sciart #paleoart #cenozoic #deinotherium

Looked at this size comparison of the larger animals in After Man by @fabioaleromero.bsky.social. And now I’m wondering how heavy some of them have got to be. Gigantelope’s got to be AT LEAST large bush elephant-sized.

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).

In a Shortleaf Pine/Oak savanna in the piedmont region of Alabama, during an otherwise calm winter day, a Jaguar leaps from cover to snatch a Turkey while a Fox Squirrel and Short-tailed Shrew observe from nearby. A vision of the past, and potentially the future. #wildlife #wildlifesociety #alabama
A black-and-white pencil illustration of a scene in a shortleaf-pine/oak savanna, in the hills of the Alabama piedmont region. A jaguar leaps into frame and has grabbed a turkey in the air, as three other turkeys scatter into the air and into the surrounding tall grasses. A fox squirrel watches from high up in an oak tree, and a short-tailed shrew forages at the base of a tree in the foreground.

The actual testing period will last for an indefinite amount of time. After that, the game needs to get approved on consoles and we need to do various other things to prepare for release. That'll be all from me on this subject for a while...

The professional testers are familiarizing themselves with the game now. They begin formally testing on April 1st. Japanese translation quality assurance is projected to be completed in April. Outside of addressing bugs and translation, most of the development team has moved on from Chapter 5.

Unlike its chubby North American cousin, we know the ontogeny of Tarbosaurus fairly well. For this drawing I used birds like emus for the feathered coat, and crocodiles and leopards for the spot patterns, along with other birds for the colors, skeletal reference by randomdinos.
