I really like how these interior covers from the print edition my minicomic Broomistega & Thrinaxodon came out. 

They depict fantastic Permian fossil beds, and were printed with 4-color risograph (light teal, fluorescent pink, yellow, violet). I “faked” the familiar CMYK printing process by layering the four ink colors to create the browns--that’s why if you look really closely you can see some chromatic aberration where the colors are slightly misaligned.

Some permian fellas

Oh boy, more catchup; the prompt was predator and prey. This is Weigeltisaurus, an extinct gliding reptile, chasing after a dragonfly. I'd probably tweak this some if I were to do it again, but it's still pretty neat.

Meet Willard the Weigeltisaurus.

Sometimes when I'm bored I ask my gf @prettycottonmouthlamia to pick a random extinct creatura for me to draw and she almost always picks Permian silly gooses.

Willard confuses me and enjoys that he is an enigma to me

They're based off of the Weigeltisaurus jaekeli. A reptilian species being dated back to have lived during the Permian period.

The region I'm working on has all to do with extinct critters and the 'firsts' of species. Or the earliest known appearance of a phenomenon (Flight, sea based creatures, mammals, ect). Thus here's one of the earliest known gliding reptile :)

Archovember 2024 Day 2 - Protorosaurus speneri

Rather unspectacular and lizard-y in life, Protorosaurus speneri is actually one of the oldest and most primitive members of Archosauromorpha, the group that would eventually lead to dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and pseudosuchians. It lived during the Late Permian in Germany and Great Britain. For a Permian animal, it was actually quite large, growing to up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) long. While it had the conical, unserrated teeth characteristic of a predator, bits of conifer have been found in one specimen’s stomach, as well as gastroliths used for grinding tough plants. Therefore, Protorosaurus was probably an omnivore or even fully a herbivore. Protosaurus’ long neck was likely an adaptation for plant-eating, using it to reach to higher branches, hinting at what was eventually to come for Archosauria.

Living in the Zechstein Formation, Protorosaurus would have lived near the edge of the Zechstein Sea, a large inland shallow sea that existed in Northern Europe during the Late Permian. The environment was semi-arid, dominated by conifers and seed ferns. Protorosaurus would have lived alongside the gliding weigeltisaurid reptiles Weigeltisaurus and Glaurung, the pareiasaur Parasaurus, the cynodont Procynosuchus, as well as captorhinids, dicynodonts, and temnospondyl amphibians.

A long, long time ago, back in the Carboniferous, one species of little amniotes was split in two. As their paths diverged, one group’s descendants became the sauropsids - such as reptiles, birds, and other dinosaurs - and the other group’s descendants became the synapsids - such as therapsids, cynodonts, and mammals. As the millions of years stretched on, our two clades have shared the same planet and lived alongside each other as each evolved into ever new and fascinating forms.

(in every panel, there’s a sauropsid on the left and a synapsid on the right)

-In the Permian, a Titanophoneus looks up in wonder as a Weigeltisaurus glides overhead.

-In the Triassic, a Coelophysis and a Kataigidodon cautiously share a bite of a large piece of carrion they both found.

-In the Jurassic, a Maiopatagium glides around a feeding Mamenchisaurus, hunting the insects attracted by the huge sauropod.

-In the Cretaceous, a Didelphodon captures a young Bambiraptor.

-In the Paleogene, a Picavus rests for a moment on the head of a Paraceratherium.

-In the Neogene, a Titanis hunts a Cormohipparion.

-In the Quaternary, a human gives her pet cockatiel scritches.

One of my college application essays was a short story from the POV of a mantis shrimp, with a prologue of made up mythology of how it was created.

One time for Hebrew school we had to pick a period in Jewish history and create a poster about it. I made mine the "Bamidbar Blog".

In elementary school I wrote a short story about a group of Weigeltisaurus building a trap to escape some Permian predator (it might have been Dimetrodon, which would be paleontologically inaccurate, but I didn't know that).

‪Essays I've written that had absolutely no business scoring as high as they did‬

- A literary analysis claiming that Jekyll was gay and strongly insinuating that Hyde was his drag persona‬ ‪- 500 words on how Despacito has changed the American music industry (in Spanish)‬ ‪- Literally didn’t even write an essay just turned in a picture of that scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the cartoon angels are playing the trumpet w their asses - We were supposed to make a ‘diary’ from the pov of a character in Romeo and Juliet. I chose to write as a gay servant who was hopelessly in love w Romeo and plotting to murder Juliet. It’s entirely handwritten w my left hand and stg every single word is spelled wrong. One page just says ‘today I saw a geese’. There are no fewer than 6 thinly veiled sexual innuendos.
