Raptor Rush
Basically a tribute to velociraptor, deinonychus, and their legacy in pop culture!
From Dinobot of Transformers, to Dinorexmon of Digimon, to Pod and the Walking with Dinosaurs Utahraptor, and of course, Blue and the other raptors of Jurassic Park fame.

Here it is everyone! What I’ve been working on for the past month!
What was originally meant to be a portfolio project, became something of a passion project of mine.
It’s the story of an Elf Mage-in-training named Gwynna, going through her 4th year of magical college, and her misadventures with a very special dog that has a supernatural ability to attract all sorts of trouble, from the tiniest of inconveniences to almost apocalyptic events.
I’m planning on maintaining a regular schedule of updating every Saturday, but as I’ve already quite a lot of pages already, I’ll be uploading the first page today.
I hope y’all enjoy!

Today's warm ups... or in Tyrannomon's case, yesterday's warm up.
Greymon and Tyrannomon in the style of Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal.

Mermay 2022: Biology Influenced Merfolk
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hey there folks! If you've been following my twitter and instagram, for this Mermay, my theme is to basically take inspiration from real life biology, and apply them to their design as merfolk... especially their wicked set of chompers. It got so popular on Insta, I even made backstories for their designs there xD.
You can read up more about their stories on my Insta, but the gist is this: Kara is a Great White Shark mermaid, and she does her best to look out for her sister, a Lamprey. She lives in a town full of quirky characters, whose merfolk come from multiple kinds of fish and critters of the sea.

It's International Women's Day! Featuring Mary Buckland, the OG Paleoartist, AKA the lady who drew the iconic Megalosaurus jaw described by her husband William in 1824!

Year of the Dragon 2024
Tumblr media
A spin off of my Pop Culture Paleoart series, and a tribute to the concept of the dragon, from the mythological beasts that inspire awe and wonder, to the plethora of dragons of pop culture... and of course the great reptiles that either probably inspired them or are named after.
From the lovable bearded dragon to the mighty Komodo dragon, and the creatures of the past that we also name after the awe-inspiring creature.
I'll leave y'all to guess which dragon is which in this piece, but I can give you the names of the dragons of our world:
Komodo Dragon
Bearded Dragon
Common Flying Dragon (Draco volans)
Sailfin Dragon
And for the past:
Quetzalcoatlus
Smok wawelski
Dracovenator
Guidraco
Ikrandraco
Guanlong

Beast Fables: The Many Chimeras of the Horse and other Equids
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Returning to the world of Beast Fables, the world of werebeasts and mermaids, another batch of Chimeras, featuring the horse and other equids!
Originally this was meant to be MUCH more extensive, but I had to seperate into more parts saved for later, because the horse is SUCH an important critter IRL, and in-universe the sheer diversity of chimeric morphs for the horse means that the cultural importance and application of them in-universe is going to be extensive as well.

It's July the 4th, thought I'd whip up something for my American followers, alongside a tribute to the paleontological contributions of the United States, though in Hawaii's case, it's also a case of just how human activity can make "modern" critters follow the path of the dead.
Guess the paleo critters if you can!

Thanks to some friends, I've been going through a deep Digimon tunnel, and the wave of nostalgia has been pretty heavy.
So here's a Wargreymon, still to this day my favorite Digimon.
Here depicted is a usual calm and reasonable dragon-man... the other is one that's more dragon than man.

Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary - A Celebration of Change in Science
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, I’ve made a series of drawings celebrating Jurassic Park’s 30th anniversary, specifically highlighting how much science has changed vs. when the original movie came out, and how much it affected the dinos of the franchise’s history.
First is the raptors, with a JP raptor here with Utahraptor and its namesake, Velociraptor.
Second is Spinosaurus, because JP3 has it’s 22nd anniversary this year, and the dude has changed repeatedly.
And finally, Tyrannosaurus rex itself. The modern T.rex is every bit as mighty and formidable as its fictional counterpart, and in some aspects (vision, overall build etc.) even more so. It’s only just much slower.

Dinovember 2023 - The Dinosaurs of Chaos
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, I had an idea for the past few days, and thought about how to interpret dinosaurs influenced by the chaos gods, but with the big twist in that.. well. Chaos is merely a part of everyday life, including nature. Some blessings are more beneficial than others though...
Tyrannosaurus of Khorne: Violence for violence sake, it takes skulls and sheds blood for a god that its animal brain cannot comprehend. It prefers prey that can fight back, for the worthier the foe, the better its skull pile that marks its territory is... AND it helps with attracting mates.
Carnotaurus of Slaanesh: Gifted with even MORE speed than the regular, already speedy kind, this Carnotaurus can catch anything with both speed and tentacled maw... because it has too. It will starve in less than a day if it cannot, and a fight can quickly become a death sentence.
Therizinosaurus of Tzeentch: Born with two heads, one with eyes, and one with a mouth, and only got more and more mutations as it grew. In spite of this, it's very much a normal Therizinosaurus in behavior, and simply uses its additional limbs for its own benefit. So long as its "main" head, the one with the eye, remains intact, everything should be fine.
Ankylosaurus of Nurgle: A lumbering, slothful thing, one that relies less on armor and more the fact that it's a fungus infested, disease carrying, toxic fume spewing thing that's absolutely hazardous to anything near it... unless you're angry enough Khornate rex!

Master Chief gives Mark some advice.
Saw a twitter meme, did my own version, then suddenly realized how this is something they'd both say to each other.

Dinovember 2023 - Tzeentchian Therizinosaurus
Tumblr media
Despite its many blessings from the God of Change, this Therizinosaurus remains quite normal in behavior, using the gifts Tzeentch gave simply to have a leg up over its normal counterparts.
It helps that he can use his main head as a periscope, safely feeding with his mouth head while looking with its many eyes so as to not draw attention from the local Khornate Tarbosaurus.

Hey there everyone! To round of Weretober of 2022, Just wanted to share what I’ve been doodling up the past week! Paleontology Inspired Werebeasts! You can find much of the lore on either my reddit (u/NazRigarA3D) or my Instagram (Nazrigar)! In general, I wanted to try out both creature designing AND designing relics.
Set in the same world as my Mermay posts :).
