#fossil cast

[hasellia]

Tried being the natural history illustration student of my dreams by sketching the classic Muttaburrasaurus cast mount at The Queensland Museum Kurilpa. Bonus points for trying to do it in a simulation of the bad lighting from a forest canopy. Most of my ~90 mins of drawing was just me trying to figure out the anatomy & foreshortening. Without a proper understanding of muscle placement and a few instances of me saying, "screw it, freestyle," I struggle to call it better than practice. But it was fun to get the attention of passing tourists.

As a rock nerd who sometimes finds things that might or might not be fossils while scouring my local rock faces, I have decided to name these might-be-fossils TOBIASes, or Theoretically Organic Blobs In A Stone, in honor of my longstanding feud with Tobias Animorphs for his commentary at the end of Megamorphs 2.

I’m on artfight again this year! I have a lot going on in July, so I can’t promise I’ll be super active, but I’m gonna try :)

ive never said this out loud on here but you may have picked up on it from my General Vibe and approach to worldbuilding/speculative biology but i am a HUGE paleontology nerd, if i ever decide college is the right path for me im definitely getting a degree in evolutionary biology. im also the kinda guy who has had a rock collection for almost 20 out of his 24 years on this earth for similar reasons (the evolution of the planet itself over time is FASCINATING to me and the stories rocks can tell about it are just. enchanting)

all that is to say. i subscribed to the scishow rocks box as soon as i could. and today i got not one but TWO ammonites in the mail after having forgotten what this month's rock/fossil would be and i lost my MIND

ONE OF THEM IS ALMOST ENTIRELY UNDAMAGED???? LIKE THE SHELL ITSELF?????

THIS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE

An Anon asked for some Miitopia castings of Fossil Fighters characters sometime ago but (as everyone knows) Joe’s design has been living rent free in my head so here he is!

A ring I made a few months back. It's shoddy, bigger than intended, and I haven't done anything with it magically yet, but I'm still pretty proud of it

I designed it with some ideas in mind, but I'm trying to figure out how to best leverage the materials used to maximize efficiency. I haven't used metals in my magic all that much before

Reblog if u think Rupert Murdock should die a horrible death. Try to tag a fun way for it to happen too, ya know.... as a joke. Definitely not me trying to manifest anything or something, totally not. Anyways, if anyone who practices any magic, it'd be nice if u could send a hex or something to that greedy bastard. Ya know... as a little prank.

I am back from the field course! Saw so many cool things and I cannot wait to go back with all of my new knowledge of formations and localities

i hate it that it's always the most generic universally-agreed-on posts that always go popular and everybody reblogs it like some genius original thought

while my post about getting fossilised at the bottom of black sea anoxic zone gets like. 2 notes. the world isn't fair.

i love merlin as the unreliable narrator. the entire show is him being an unreliable narrator. he's got tunnel vision and he's driven by desperation. he is my morally grey perpetually exhausted baby with one of the weirdest most twisted versions of saviour complex out there. he is perfect and i wouldn't have him any other way

i'm ngl i think the antiquity of farum azula was adopted by placidusax loyalists in the wake of bayle's fall to maintain the hegemony of stone and mythologize it in a sense so the "ancient dragons" are all of stone and for example borealis' kin, quite ancient, are only named of ice

After being wined and dined for years — with one of his billionaire patrons buying his mother’s house and fixing it up and putting his grandnephew through a ritzy private academy — Clarence Thomas returned the favor by casting his tie-breaking Citizens United vote, almost fully legalizing billionaires and giant companies bribing politicians. Political bribery is still illegal in Scotland, The Netherlands, and Australia, which is why politicians in those countries could stand up to the fossil fuel industry. America, in fact, is the only country in the developed world that lets the massive, gravitational ��dark force” of billionaires’ and giant corporations’ money be used to purchase politicians who put themselves up for sale. And that’s not only why we won’t see a ban on fossil fuel advertising any day soon; it’s why we won’t see a lot of other things that a majority of Americans want, as well.
