Question: How "bendy" was Tullimonstrum? I keep seeing them reconstructed like a squid/in a squidlike position. Was something like this possible?
A post for the new followers! This was my first “paleo”-diorama (8 years ago, I think).
Question for the paleoartists: What do you use as reference material for animals like opabinia, anomalocaris and other weirdos? Besides fossils and other people’s interpretations I mean. They’re pretty hard to wrap my head around.
Sketchy kitty hm, might turn it into a t-shirt design thingy
Hey Bluesky, Any decent websites/apps that have a big library of human poses or you can create them yourself (in an easy fashion)?
Oh hey, it’s #PortfolioDay … again. The less typical diorama stuff this time, annotated... and the thumbnails are going to suck.
Reminder: You can also buy prints&stuff in my redbubble shop. (link in the comments) Ordered some very large prints myself, and they look pretty great!
Beaming up Scotty... Might play around with it some more later.
