Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 12: Trilobite It was these little guys' last hurrah after having existed for 270 million years, with over 22000 species identified. They are already a bit harder to find during the Permian, though, with only a few species appearing in the fossil record.

I wonder how many of the guys in "Fight Club" went to one meeting of the fight club and were like "Eh, not for me" and joined a cooking class or something

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 11: Anteosaurus At the top of the food chain in the Middle Permian, there's this guy with a really thick and bossy skull, so I thought it would be fun to draw strange decorations on it.

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 10: Mesosaurus Meanwhile, on the coast, some reptiles have decided to go back to the sea because tiny fish and crustaceans taste really good

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 09: Cotylorhynchus Large herbivores were kind of a novelty at this point so this guy has some of the funniest proportions I've ever seen on an animal. Absolute unit

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 08: Seymouria An amphibian that looked like a big lizard. For the longest time everyone thought it was a reptile - until fossilised tadpoles from a close relative were found that suggested it had a larval stage. Guess you could just do anything back then

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 07: Platyhystrix Even small amphibians seemed to think sails were pretty cool.

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 06: Xenacanthus A freshwater shark. What was the spine for? We're not entirely sure - maybe it was venomous?

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 05: Cacops Imagine being called "ugly-looking" because your fossils are badly preserved... I'm sorry Cacops I'm sure you were a wonderful little creature

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 04: Edaphosaurus Another classic Permian animal with spectacularly elongated neural spines! Truely, this is the age of sail.

I skipped high school to buy tickets for The Phantom Menace. The following day my Dad asked ," how was school?" I replied, " It was fine " He then threw this newspaper at me and asked , " how the fuck would you know?" He was so pleased with himself that I didn't actually get in trouble.

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 03: Eryops Do you love water but can't swim very well? Then you will probably find Eryops a very relatable kind of amphibian

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 02: Diplocaulus With its boomerang head, it’s pretty iconic. We’re not sure how its skin covered that strange head, but since salamanders aren’t exactly the brightest, I like the reconstructions that avoid sharp corners that would get caught on roots lol

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 01: Dimetrodon Because I don't have the budget for a cool documentary on one of my fave prehistoric periods but I do have watercolors

that miserable feeling when you've been slowly working on something for 4 years but can't share any of it yet, so it feels like you're not working on it at all
