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!

But if I were to rewind time back to 2024, I would probably still make all the Paleoart again. Just can't help it

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

Alt: Deltoblastus is similar to a crinoid, it looks like a flower bud with a stalk, on the 'bud' there is a five-sided star like indentation where the food grooves are, small tendrils called brachioles jut out from this food groove area, giving the flower bud a somewhat fuzzy look

The barnacle shell was great

also i think it is quite neat that we still have snails that look similar-ish to Dendropupa (photo by @tohru_menghuali) link: www.instagram.com/p/DJ3kNzDRpJ_/

photo of Petraeomastus gigas taken by tohru_menghuali, it has a similar silhouette to the previous dendropupa model

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

A bunch of bright red brachiopods in an outstretched hands.

alt: another silurian brachiopod (look like clams but are not molluscs) that's basically just ball-shaped, here wity a yellow color looking like eye-less jack-o-lanterns

you will probably see nothing but brachiopods from me for a while until i get this project done..haha

Kiabugboy @kiabugboy.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

alt: Silurian brachiopod with prominent concentric ridges(rugae), the valve is somewhat square-ish in shape. the rims sort of extrudes thinly upwards. Also some of these guys retain a functional pedicle until adulthood.

Alt: productid brachiopods look like clams but they are not molluscs, they have one conves bowl-like valve and one flat concave valve. The concave valve is where their lophophore attaches to, it's a bristly tentacle that traps particles. Many productids have spikes on their shell to anchor them.

Just a personal project that's been taking too long to finish 😅

alt: top and side view of a paraspirifer brachiopod, they superficially look like clam shells, but inside you can see the spiral lophophore, the two filter feeding appendages that kinda look like a coiled spring. In the extinct spiriferids, these lophophores are supported by a hardened structure

alt: close up of a chain coral, individual polyps line up almost like a row of candles in a chaotic polygonal pattern. on it are two horn corals with skeletons shaped like a stack of plates. out of this skeleton there are rhizoids, root like structures used for holding the coral in place.

Kiabugboy @kiabugboy.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

alt: Ordovician reef. The floor is filled with brachiopods, superficially clam-like animals. In the bg are aulacerid sponges, like underwater saguaro cactuses. And an Orthocone. At the center is the horn coral, it lays sideways, and the cross section has three lobes. the polyp has many tentacles

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
