A profusion of sketchy #chelicerates! I've become very fond of these this year thanks to @trigonotarbida.bsky.social, all of them are so charming and adorable in their own way!

Sometimes I feel like I've shot myself in the foot when it comes to landing a job, for spending so much time making Paleoart maybe I can't find work in Singapore because my portfolio is too full of trilobites and ammonites, and not enough sodas and sport shoes 3D renders or branding stuff

These are cool as hell. Especially since I just found these living brachiopods in Whangaumu Bay, Aotearoa.

Starting to regret my decision to cover their internal musculature as well... #SciArt #WIP #Brachiopod

3/4 front view of my spirifer 3d model, still a work in progress. It shows the inside of the ventral mantle since the ventral shell is removed

the mantle itself is 'cut' in half to show the inside of the visceral mass, the blobby bits at the center of the soft body that contains all the organs like the gut and muscles

side view of the spirifer 3d model, showing just the outline of the shell without the visceral mass

Wayang purbakala The iconic myth from my hometown (a shark fighting a crocodile) depicted as Javanese wayang shadow puppets of Permian animals. #wayang #wayangkulit #3D #blender3d #Surabaya #Indonesia #Permian #paleoart #SciArt

Submitted for the ilustra.see competition last year. This was an experiment on depicting Paleontology with Wayang kulit, a traditional shadow puppet art form from my country. Here a scene reminiscent of my City, Surabaya's founding myth is depicted, but instead of a shark fighting a crocodile, it is a Permian Spiny shark fighting an early armored sea reptile. Surrounding them are brachiopods, tabulate corals, and horn corals found throughout Permian strata in Java and Timor, while the Gunungans in the back have a simple wavy pattern to indicate the scene is taking place underwater.

The wayang cutouts are drawn in Photoshop, imported as transparent PNG objects in Blender and rendered in Cycles to achieve the shadow puppet look

Here's another crinoid (for a tutorial video in Patreon) #crinoid #InverteFest #SciArt

Calyx/cup of Archaeocrinus, it has ten arms that fork twice. The center of the cup has a raised funnel where the anal sac is.

Full body of Archaeocrinus, the stalk ends in a taper, and root like structures called cirri emerge out of it

Another view of the Archaeocrinus from the back, showing the plates of the cup clearer

Sharing this cool animation of #Aquilolamna, a fossil shark from the Late Cretaceous Agua Nueva Formation of Mexico. This species was cosplaying as a manta ray long before the first manta rays appeared in the fossil record. #FossilFriday www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfdd...
