Check out this neat preview of the ontogeny morph for the Saurian Tyrannosaurus, now complete with walk cycle and stage specific textures! I have been letting this loop on my desktop for the past day.

Just dropping a hint that ya'll should donate to a really cool paleo project. Max and the team have put a ton of work into this and it shows, would be awesome to see this get fully realized.

Thanks for all the support for Forgotten Bloodlines so far! This has been a huge passion project of mine for the past few years, and the whole team poured their heart and soul into this. We just need an extra push to make this a reality. Kickstarter and official account in thread

This has been probably the most fun I've had working on a figure for BoTM. Very pleased with how well it printed!

Just got out of Dominion. General advice I'd give someone who is cautiously optimistic about going and seeing it: Abandon the idea that this is part of a franchise at all tonally similar to the first movie. You'll enjoy it far more that way.

A lot of the misgivings people have about these films feel really similar to when the Star Wars prequels came out. The younger generation loved the prequels because that is what they grew up on, the older generation just hated that they were different.

More @SaurianGame hatchling Tyrannosaurus animations! Here is the boy taking a little sip, looked at some young emus and chickens drinking for this one.

And a bonus one that didn't make it on the dev-log. A little yawn, presumably because he is so tired from being a little shit all day.

Figured I should showcase some of these Tyrannosaurus hatchling animations I've done for @SaurianGame. This is the threaten, the little guy is soooo angry.

If you haven't already check out the latest Saurian Dev-log. There is a few more animations in there that I'll probably be posting on twitter later! sauriangame.squarespace.com/…

It's the time of the year again where I want to just run away from it all and sculpt ichthyosaurs full time.

Seriously my love for ichthyosaurus is not reflected in how often I'm able to make artwork of them. Like a month ago they described a Cymbospondylus with a 2 meter long skull and I just had to sit here and act like that isn't the dopest thing in the world.

I know I've done political posts before (and I still will lol) but please don't get your political opinions from the dinosaur people. We are like really, really dumb.

Just like, read about it from somewhere else. Not twitter, everyone on twitter is also really dumb. I'm begging you.

Finally finished this Blastoise, complete with working water cannons and a nice little kelp scarf! Hope ya'll like it, I spent a long time on this render trying to get all the details right. More Pokemon in the future maybe probably.

Last push, we are a little over 51k away from unlocking all the stretch goals and got 3 days left to go! If you haven't checked out the campaign in a while a bunch of stuff got unlocked so be sure to give it a peak! kickstarter.com/projects/cre…

So I'm 2 followers away from 10k and got nothing to show for it. NDA work be killing me. I guess I'll show something that I was saving for later as a little thank you for all the support! You'll never guess what it's supposed to be.

And just for a little added sci-comm I based some of this loosely on Meiolaniids which are a super neat group of extinct horned turtles that don't get enough attention. (seriously some of these guys just look like styracosaurus if it was a turtle)

Oh cool, my work got stolen again. Thanks everyone for looking out, I'll be following up on this one. 🙁

kickstarter.com/projects/cre… If you missed it, check out the kickstarter! It's doing well but there will be a lot of stretch goals with really cool stuff to unlock! Once again @Beast_SculptKit has done a fantastic job putting this all together.

Celebrities thinking their cousin's friend's balls got swollen because of the vaccine is funny until you remember that 50% of the US is unvaccinated in large part because we are unable to think critically about the things we read on social media.

And if only vaccine hesitancy wasn't the tip of the iceberg. Anti-democratic, climate denial, fascist and authoritarian movements thrive in this environment. At a complete loss, IDK what you do about this information ecosystem, it's completely bonkers.

Capped the day off yesterday with some substance designer work. Trying to get something going for the terrain texture overhaul on Saurian. I could use photogrammetry but where is the fun in all that? This is prehistoric sequoia litter!
