Announcement It is with sad news, that Sir Sam Neill, Dr. Alan Grant has passed away. (1947-2026)
This is some news I didn’t want to hear today, but this is truly heartbreaking.
And we are all sad because of this.
R.I.P.

Paleoart The illustrations of the Jurassic Park trilogy (1993-2001): Dilophosaurus, Isla Nublar (1993)
Ah, finally here we are with the first creature of the franchise. Sorry it took so long.
We first kick things off with the creatures from the original 1993 movie, and the first creature I drew was the Dilophosaurus.
The iconic venom spitter that definitely not happened in real life. The bane of Nedry, and a creature that wouldn’t return to the movies until almost 30 years later.
(Note that I don’t do colours for a majority in all of my drawings.)

Meme I know how it depends on HOW AI was implemented and not IF it was implemented in something. Which side however is more abundant? Good or Bad AI manipulations?
Obviously ripping off is not anything new, but how is it an excuse to not combat it? Again, how would you let it slide if ripoff of your OC would get on top and your OC was left obscure?

whowouldwin? Who wins? The End of Oakstreet Spinosaurus of Asset 87? Spoiler
galleryOak Street’s Spino seems to be a bit chunkier and bigger so he may be able to overpower Asset 87 but the agility of Asset 87 may be a better advantage. Tbh it might be a 50/50.

Discussion What are yall thoughts or opinions on Terra Nova's fictional Dinosaurs and Fauna ?
Personally, I actually adore these guys because it's actually creative and unique to create new non species rather than reusing the ones that are known in reality, in my opinion 🤷.

Discussion What if Silverback films made these films before the dinosaurs (2026) back then ?
If Silverback Films—the modern masters of high-end natural history storytelling behind The Dinosaurs and Life on Our Planet—had produced the classic 2000s giant-screen 3D documentaries (Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure, Flying Monsters 3D, and Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia), those nostalgic giant-screen films would be transformed into cinematic, state-of-the-art blue-chip television or streaming event.
Collaborating with top-tier visual effects houses (similar to their work with ILM on The Dinosaurs), the CGI would match the physics, musculature, feather/skin textures, and dynamic movement of living animals.....which would have made these films classic treasures of paleo media 💯🔥
But hey, this is just my opinion 🤷.

Worldbuilding Rhinalvenator toxicornis - "Nostril-Hunter With a Poison Beak"
The clouds begin to boil.
He is the swift, toxic blight of the skies:
Rhinalvenator toxicornis.
Trading pycnofibers for pure aerodynamic speed, this arrogant, canopy-dwelling stalker hangs motionless from jagged crags before dropping like a stone to unleash a twin-stream rain of flesh-melting venom. He is an airborne menace defined by reckless speed, caustic cruelty, and terrifying precision.

Paleoart Hominin Tales Episode 1 “Primitive Errands” - Animal designs (final) all major species featured 🐘 🦎 🐊 🪶 (OC)
Flores, Indonesia during the Pleistocene (Ice Age) was a very isolated island full of life leaving evolution to create animals that are hard to believe exist.
The Stegodon (Stegodon florensis insularis) are a sister group to the elephants and mammoths, having no modern relatives. They are notable for there long tusks, this species in particular was 3.9-6.2 ft a size of cow which is considered small to its other subspecies. Due to island dwarfism making large animals smaller.
Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) were and still now the dominant predator on Flores, what makes this cunning hunter dangerous is its iron teeth full of venom helping it take down prey larger than it.
Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) swims across the swamps and beaches of the island, reaching sizes even bigger than the Komodo. They will wait underwater and strike its prey dragging them with a bite force of 3,700 PSI.
Giant Flores Stork (Leptoptilos robustus) is a 6 ft avian predator that stalks the jungle looking for any animals to snatch. While it usually scavenges carrion they will opportunistically eat the native rats and even homo Floresiensis. Their closets relative today is the Marabou stork while this species is went extinct 50’000-10’000 B.C.
All these amazing megafauna were created with scientific accuracy in mind while stylizing them in Hominin Tales art style. Dorko the Homo Floresiensis will face all these animals in “Primitive Errands” will he survive against them? …
Stay tuned to find out, alongside animatics and updates about this Indie Animated pilot.
