The Devonian trilobite Crotalocephalina gibba.
Made as a more or less successful exercise to emulate the style of Junnn11, the person who illustrated many of the wikipedia articles on Cambrian arthropods and Paleozoic euchelicerates (and whose art I happen to like very much).
#very accidental lesbian color scheme#i swear i didn't do it on purpose the colors just looked nice#i only realized two hours after picking the colors and went with it#it's not my fault if lesbians have the best pride flag#(perhaps with the exception of the aro and aroace ones - but there certainly is no reason for my opinion on these to biased hehe)#anyway#drawing based on a fossil i have on my desk#minus the appendages of course (those are mainly adapted from Ceraurus pleurexanthemus)#because there's no way on earth i'm drawing a cheirurid in a non-neutral pose with just my imagination and a few top view photos/diagrams#all these furrows and little knobs around the articulations!!!#also heeeeeyy i'm not dead i'm still making art#between work travel and the fact that i've started sketching on paper again over the last 6 months#i haven't done much digital art worth posting#(still hesitating to post my paper sketches on here)#but i do have some cool 3d projects in the works#so i will probably be posting some pieces in my usual style in the more or less near future#crotalocephalina#cheirurid#trilobite#arthropod#devonian#paleozoic#paleontology#palaeoblr#paleoart#my art
