Cambrian critters are actually spaceships, their battles where epic.

Here an Anomalocaris cruiser is attacked by the hit and run tactics of an Opabinia.

HEY YOU! Did you already go into your settings to opt out of Tumblr selling your stuff to train AI? You better do that now!

[cretaceous-kid]

let’s do this to help keep ai dinosaurs looking like garbage for as long as possible

head up if you don’t want tumblrs partnered ai companies automatically scraping your blog for image datasets, you need to manually opt out.

You can’t do this in the app rn, only the desktop version or web browser on your phone. It will also need to be done for every sideblog you have.

You find it by opening up your blog settings > scroll down to visibility > prevent third party sharing

As an aside, I’d thoroughly recommend opting out of having your blog scraped, even if you’re not an artist. Afaik Tumblr hasn’t explicitly stated which companies they’ll be partnering with, but the vagueness of that wording is really alarming.

These datasets use a lot of selfies for photorealistic results, moderation of who has access to these datasets is notoriously ass, and a lot of AI engines are being used to generate pornography and racist imagery (you can see this rn with the rise of ai generated propaganda). While ‘your likeness is used in an awful generated image without your consent’ IS a worst case scenario, it’s a really upsetting one. Protect yourselves.

Cretaceous Characters - Quetzalcoatlus meets a sub-adult triceratops. Just a silly paleoart cartoon thing of mine.

And so the Riversleigh #paleostream concluded! Lots of weird marsupials in this one. Since we chose to depict here a Miocene faunal zone you will not come across your typical Australian megafauna, like Diprotodon and Dromornis, that stuff came later.

We are looking at their ancestors, before the rainforest collapse.

Here some detail shots. Next time we will visit the Kimmeridge clay, a late Jurassic marine ecosystem.

Depictions of iguanodon, pterodactylus, ichthyosaurus, plesiosaurus, hylaeosaurus and megalosaurus based on the crystal palace statues as well as their modern counterparts. The crystal palace dinosaur statues constructed in the 1850′s are both very impressive pieces of art as well as a striking demonstration of scientific progress in the field of paleontology, for all their inaccuracies they are still an extremely important piece of paleoart history.
