hello again!  here are some palaeo guys I drew a while ago.

Drawing For Nothing is out!

Forgot to announce this here but the first ten chapters for Drawing For Nothing have been released! For those who missed the last post, this is a free, digital art book for animated films that were either canceled or bombed due to complicated issues.

https://www.drawingfornothing.com/

More chapters are to come. A few highlights in the next installation will be My Peoples and Larrikins.

Also, if anyone wants to help research, feel free to send a DM! We're also working on a new cover that will feature custom artwork of various characters from these movies. If you think you got what it takes to draw in the style of another artist, we would appreciate the help!

Resi (short for Resident Evil) the cow went on a trip today and met up with her pal Sage the Thylacine (belongs to @thylacines-toybox) at the Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh!!

We had lots of fun and saw lots of rhododendrons! She had a pistachio lemon bakewell tart for lunch.

She also met a friendly squirrel or two!

Fantastic work! I love their colours!!

I made myself a thylacine plush with the lovely pattern designed by @palaeoplushies​. The stars on the fabric are glow in the dark, and I’m super happy with how he turned out.

Anyways, y’all should check out Palaeoplushies’ shop. There’s a lot of cool stuff, and this pattern is really great. https://www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/thylacine-sewing-pattern

You did a great job!!!

Pattern from @palaeoplushies

This was quite the project! The pattern was a bit more complex then I'm used to, and I've never painted fleece, or any fabric for a project before! I made quite a few mistakes WHY ARE YOU PIGEON TOED?! but I think the end project looks good enough! Believe it or not this is the half size version, I can't imagine how big the original size must be!

Appreciation for the stripes (made from watered down dnd mini paints >_>, waste not want not)

Banteng (Bos javanicus)

Also known as tembadau, this species lives in the tropical forests and grasslands of Southeast Asia. The individual shown here is female; males are a much darker brown. Though they are endangered in the wild, they have also been domesticated, and are used for meat across Southeast Asia. The bull featured on Indonesia’s national emblem is actually a banteng!

You wouldn’t think that flamingoes are extremophiles just from looking at them. It’s like somebody tried to build the vertebrate equivalent of that fungus that lives inside nuclear reactors, and ended up with a gangly pink dinosaur with a spoon for a face.

Wild rats tend to be agouti (brown)! They knew she wasn't wild because she's black and white. She was very lucky that the people who spotted her knew about domestic rats and knew wild ones don't come in black/white naturally! I think it'd be like spotting a black and white ferret and knowing it isn't a wild polecat. Some people wouldn't realise but some would!

She was found in a residential area, I think people were feeding her in their back gardens and they spotted her returning for a couple of weeks but couldn't capture her. They got the SSPCA out who caught her and she went to one of their rehoming centres.

Honestly I have no idea how she survived in January in Scotland but maybe she broke into someone's garage?? Rats haven't been domesticated as long as ferrets, but it's likely they were originally domesticated in China pre-1700s (theres Japanese rat care books from the late 1700s and it's implied they were traded with China?)

I had her tested for diseases that she could've picked up whilst she was straying and it doesn't look like she was in contact with wild rodents.

Everybody welcome the newest member of my family .. TRACEY THE RAT

Here's my first sight of her;

She was found as a stray, people had spotted her in their gardens for a couple of weeks and had failed to catch her. Eventually the SSPCA were called out and managed to detain the runaway.

She was at the SSPCA and nobody came forward for her, so when she came up for adoption I saw this young lone rat and knew I had to give her a home. Judging by the pictures she was molting into her adult coat (3-4 months old) and I thought she needed a friend (or three!)!

Following a period of quarantine, vet checkover and a negative test for leptospirosis, she was ready for me to introduce to my girls. I'm so glad to say the introductions have gone swimmingly and they are now cuddled up in bed together!

Tracey is surprisingly confident, slightly nippy when she's in her cage but friendly when she's out. She cheered up so much when she finally was allowed to meet her new friends, and I think she's going to make a great companion to me and my girls.

Keiko swims with a pod of Ichthyotitan severnensis, a truly gigantic shastasaurid icthyosaur which lived about 205-202 million years ago at the end of the Triassic of what is now southern England and at 25 meters long is possibly the single largest Mesozoic marine reptile ever discovered, in her mermaid form.
