Me whenever I'm not drawing a landscape: I love drawing landscapes! It's so fun to do the colours and depth and stuff. The scenery is so relaxing :)

Me whenever I am drawing a landscape: I Think Having My Individual Bones Removed One By One Would Be Less Painful Than Choosing The Right Shade Of Green For This Tree

Your art is absolutely beautiful! Seeing such colorful and loving art of inverts that aren't as appreciated as I'd like them to be has made my night.

Aww thank you! 💚🦞

A sponge reef from the Carboniferous Bear Gulch formation. A pair of female Daidal acanthocercus mantis shrimp forage for food together (some mantis shrimp species form long term monogamous relationship pairs). Echinochimera, a strange chondrichthyan, swims past in the foreground while the elongated Thrinacodus forages between sponges.

In the morning in the Triassic, a basking Longisquama reptile observes a neuropteran on a nearby horsetail, trying to decide if it has warmed up enough that it's worth trying to catch it. Other Longisquamas climb around the lycopsids and horsetails at the lake's edge.
