Doing sleepy lizard fieldwork in the Mid Murray today involved bountiful encounters with goofy fellas as usual

This guy is somehow missing the keratin on most of his large tail scales, revealing the bony scutes (osteoderms) beneath. We’re not exactly sure how this occurred, hopefully he’s not scuffed up too bad, but it is quite cool to look at

Then there’s grumps over here, sucking on his pacifier. We named him Cupcake after his delightful personality

Cupcake is now getting clamped because he’s naughty and bit someone (actually just taking a measurement of head depth)

Polite gentleman patiently getting his tail measured (not a sleepy lizard, doesn’t want to be here)

GODZILLA: DOMINATION!

DESTOROYAH: THE FINAL PERMUTATION

Artist's commentary: fat crab looking like a snowman. A messy smorgasbord of the many organisms' genetic matter it's absorbed into its matrix. Inspired by crustaceans and mr. Waternoose, why not?

"GOJIROYAH": FIRST PERMUTATION OF DESTOROYAH

Artist's Commentary: A ghost of Christmas Past. The most formidable foe our coveted King of Monsters is to face, has a very familiar look to some. This spawn of Goji will not stay like this for long though. As his strength grows and its body matrix takes in biomass, Destro will become more recognizable and more dangerous...

Design based on '54, GMK, Minus One and Shin incarnations of gojira. Additional reference from telescopefish, therapsids and drepanosaurs.

"We're gonna be talking about the BOOBY! We'll be talking about the WOODCOCK! Do you think that's FUNNY, Butthead? Do you find it AMUSING that we'll be talking about the SWALLOW? Yes, we're also gonna be talking about the DICKCISSEL, the BUSHTIT, the COCK-OF-THE-ROCK, the SHAG... and we will DEFINITELY be spending a LOT of time talking about...GREAT TITS!!"

MOTHRA

Artist's commentary: La Polilla has arrived! Taught me that arthropods are not fun to draw. It'll certainly get worse the more l dive into the toho kaiju sauce. Design based on neuropterans such as owlflies. Larva based on lacewing larvae - itself also a neuropteran.

RADON

Artist's commentary: too many full red/orange rodies out there. AND too many dsungaripterid-based rodies too. Have here one that is neither of the above. Based on a Heisei-generation concept art, and on rhamphorhynchids, and maybe some seabird for the face.

yeah

BARAGON

Artist's Commentary: the delightful messed up piggy creature. Looking here like a dollar-store Guiron, even? Design inspo from fairy armadillos, marsupial moles, and even a bit of that worm from uhhhhhh Subnautica 2 the Way of Water. No... Sandwormnautica: The Ice Must Flow.

I've got 70ish pity on the standard banner and I'm hoping for Tighnari. Hopefully my drawing makes him come home

Pls don't repost my work but reblogs are appreciated<3

Godzilla: Domination!

GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS

Artist's commentary: the big man needing no introduction, yet always makes one hell of an entrance anyway. Draws design cues from Millennium, Heisei and King Kong Vs goji incarnations - my favourites. Unlike many people l like ears on gojira so l gave him really biggly ones. :)

Mockup of Godzilla in his neutral posture for visual reference. He's lunged forward in the midst of an atomic beam attack in the primary art, so he appears misleadingly horizontal postured, when it is not really his typical walking stance. Not a perfect mockup, the barbels should be flattened down at rest and the elbows pulled back more.

the wasp-mimic mantisfly (Climaciella brunnea) is not only one of the coolest bugs out there but can also be surprisingly calm and friendly, at least if you charm it with the offering of a delicious blood-filled mosquito
