A four panel illustrated comic. Panel 1: Geralt is crouched in a forest looking at a large three-toed monster footprint. He says, โ€œhmm...โ€ Panel 2: Geralt stands up with his hands on his hips, still looking down at the footprint. Panel 3: Geralt stands in the same position and looks off to the side thoughtfully. Panel 4: A wide shot of a hilly landscape with a snowy mountain in the background, a river flowing at the base of the mountain, clouds and the sun in the sky, and a large animal flying. A speech bubble points down somewhere into the forest. Geralt says โ€œfuck.โ€

You don't owe anyone an apology for the fact that you're a work in progress. The reality is, any change worth making in your life is going to involve stretches where you're working on it, but not quite there yet. No shame.

Just keep working on it, w/ realism & self compassion.

An Illustration of a juvenile Triceratops frolicking after fireflies that have begun to flit around in the dark cretaceous forest. Looming above in the shadows is a Tyrannosaurus watching with its eyes aglow. The colors are greens and blues.

I did it!!!!

I finished this illustration just in time for ECCC.

If you can't make it to the show and want to snag a copy for yourself it's in my store:

Sadly because I injured my arm due to being middle aged, I didn't finish the stargazer piece. :(

But soon...

Digital drawing of my velociraptor oc Priya!! He is super fluffy feathery with a dark brown underbelly. Their face is covered in stripes and spots with a very light blue accent color under their eyes, lip, and the tips of the long thin feathers sprouting from the back of his head. Their wing like arms also have stripes up to the shoulder and a portion of her legs with the same light blue accent color on their long claws and end of feathers. The color pallet is a dull creamy white sort of gradient into a Carmel and dark brown, similar to a seal point coloring on a cat. Their long fluffy feathery tail is perked up and loops behind itself it also has wavy like stripes at the end of it with a dark brown tip and a light blue stripe in the middle. Their eyes are silvery and they have light blue โ€˜xโ€™ like scars on their neck and very dark brown โ€˜xโ€™ like scars somewhat above their belly.

Dunkleosteus terrelli (Newberry, 1873) - fossil fish skull (real) from the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (public display, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Cleveland, Ohio, USA)

The placoderms are a group of extinct, mostly predatory fish that existed during the Middle Paleozoic (Silurian and Devonian). The most famous placoderm was Dunkleosteus, which was named after David Dunkle, an Ohio paleontologist. It was not a shark - it had a bony skull, a neck joint, and remarkably, the jaws lacked true teeth. Instead, the jawbones were sharp-edged and pointed.

The Late Devonian (~380 MYA) was an era dominated by armored fish like Dunkleosteus terrelli here. They were primarily cartilaginous, like the sharks they hunted, but covered by armor plates up to 3 in. (7.6 cm) thick.

They were also among the first animals to give live birth.
