'Ya Did Good, Kid' A beached dolphin is accompanied by her ecological precursor: an Ichthyosaurus memorised by the earth itself, a spirit of Black Ven. Perhaps she'll become such a relic, too. I once saw a dead dolphin on Charmouth Beach. Sadly poetic. #paleoart for Day 2 of #Inktober2026 'Relic'.

Digital palaeoart of a common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) lying on a beach, belly-up, eyes shut. Looming over it is a black cliff--Charmouth's Black Ven--with a nearly-complete articulated fossil skeleton of an Ichthyosaurus (a dolphin-like marine reptile that lived in the Early Jurassic) exposed so closely to the dolphin that it looks as though it could be coming down to keep it company.

'The Beast's Bounty' 37 million autumns ago in Colorado, a young Megacerops is finally tall enough to taste some of the first fresh apples... ever! (Malus florissantensis) He joyfully collects them atop his basket-like head. This is my #paleoart for Day 1 of #Inktober2026! The prompt was 'Apple'.

Digital palaeoart of an extinct rhino-like mammal called Megacerops, which had a forked bony crest on its nose. He is happily picking bright yellow crabapples of the extinct species Malus florissantensis and using the shape of his head like a basket. I've used bold, ink-like outlines and a colouring style meant to mimic that of Copic markers.

THE OLDEST NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM IN THE AMERICAS NEEDS YOUR HELP! On 1st September, Drexel University announced--very suddenly and without transparency or justification--that the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia is closing for good at the end of September.

Time to start sharing results of Flocking #paleostream s! I've done three so far and I can tell I've got a long way to go art-wise and science-wise, but there seems to be some improvement already. And it's exciting to think that as I keep learning, it should come across visually here.

HELLO BSKIES I've spent years sleeping on social media, so I thought I'd change that and here is a solid place to start! I'm Rosywing, I draw! I have ideas for spec-bio, possibly fanart, Fakemon etc. but my thing is palaeoart--I aspire to be a palaeontologist. I shall post drawlerings here soon...
