First Light

Dawn breaks in the desert, revealing a scurrying frenzy of creatures returning to shelter after the night’s mischief. Tallest among them, the Cycloptic Night-Seeker surveys the scene looking for any last morsel of food before the day’s solar onslaught forces its retreat into shadow. The Testapallidus at its feet may prove an ideal treat, unless the sand-swimming Armored Loricatus captures it first. Though the Testapallidus’ hard dorsal shell protects it from most threats, the Night-Seeker possesses a keen intellect, curious disposition, and two formidable front appendages that are as dextrous as they are sharp. Usually too quick for the large hunter, a trio of gregarious Desert Sentinels are more concerned with ambush predators such as the Loricatus, and one inflates its signaling air sacs in alarm. Already, members of the desert’s daytime cast are making an appearance. Luteos have positioned themselves at the top of the ridge to greet the first slanted rays. Relying on photosynthesis for a large portion of their metabolism, they tilt their bodies to follow the sun throughout the day. In a short time, more heat-tolerant daylight denizens will take the stage and play out their part in the everyday drama of the high desert.

A Hybodus that I illustrated for an upcoming issue of the Steinkern Magazine under guidance of Sebastian Stumpf. Most reconstructions get the horns wrong. (image ID: A watercolour painting of a slender shark with serrated spines on its dorsal fins and four horns on its head.)

Wall charts were used in classrooms to teach science in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Here are some particularly lovely European examples reproduced in 𝑨𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (San Francisco, 2011). #library #books #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #librarybooks #librarybook #plants #scientificillustration (at Harvard Yard) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjQhnwIu2uF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just the line art today, I drew the articulated skeleton of the Tasmanian tiger. The last of his kind, Benjamin the Tasmanian tiger was what is called an "endling." You can also call such individuals whose death mark extinction for their kind as enders. The third word by which any single animal who was in it's lifetime the last of it's kind is terminarch. The prompt today is kind, and so in the spirit of kindness to myself I had a nap while still making time to get the line art out of the skeleton to remember Benjamin, the last of his "kind." Here is my unfinished piece titled "The Terminarch" - Day 13: Kind from the official Inktober Prompt List.

Interwoven

Like a giant pink warship, the Rosy Frigate punctuates the endless sea of tendrils. It hosts a crew of disk-shaped ravenous eating-machines called orbics. It is the orbics’ duty to keep the creeping tendrils from strangling and overtaking their home. Fading daylight signals their departure from the safe cluster beneath their giant companion to begin the night’s work of clearing new growth in the near vicinity. Each orbic can consume half its body weight in tube-carpet flesh every night, ensuring they will always have a place to return to at dawn. A Dwarf Blue Cortina observes the melee in confusion. Anything larger than an orbic will send it leaping away for cover, as its curiosity is matched only by its caution. The stoic quartet of Reponos standing solemnly in the background is incapable of seeing or hearing the events taking place nearby. Their role in this ecosystem turns out to be rather bizarre…

Here's a Pappocetus lugardi while I'm at it. For reference I looked at some Pappocetus specimens from Gueran in the Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra Region of Morocco and the drawings in the description by Charles William Andrews. (image ID: A watercolour painting of an early whale with legs and a paddle-like tail.)

We found this volume in the folio section of our Old Widener ‘S’ class, one of our favorite areas of the stacks. It’s a reproduction of William Bartram’s Fothergill album, the original of which is in the British Museum. Bartram was an 18th century American naturalist, and one of the first ornithologists born in the US. He’s most famous for the travel writings and drawings he produced on journeys through the American South. From: 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐙𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝟏𝟕𝟓𝟔-𝟏𝟕𝟖𝟖 (Philadelphia, 1966). #library #books #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #librarybooks #librarybook #plants #scientificillustration (at Harvard Yard) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjYWWcZOKjl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
