Starlight Mothfish (WIP 4)

Starlight Mothfish (WIP 3)

R'lyeh: Demohound Colours

An old conceptual illustration done back in September of 2017 of different demohound colourations. From top to bottom they're based on a nautilus, a baby tapir, a vampire squid, a pyjama squid, com...

Starlight Mothfish (WIP 2)

Starlight Mothfish (WIP)

Very rough base sketch for a sponsored commission of a species of mothfish which lives around the floating forest ecosystem.

Serina: Chimpbirds

When I was advocating for manbird, I drew up this ice age ancestor to it; the equivalent of the early hominid stage where it was still facultatively bipedal rather than obligately, and had only rec...

WWD: Cruel Sea (Redux)

And now all the costars together in one picture; all of these animals, more or less would have existed in the Kimmeridge Clay Formation during the Pectinatites pectinatus ammonite zone, ab...

WWD: Pliosaurus macromerus

And finally, the one I'm sure you've all been waiting for, probably the most controversial and infamous taxon depicted in the entire franchise. The history of this one is long, convoluted, and full...

Serina: Tall Birds

A sketch drawn back in December 2020 of two ziraphans walking alongside a boomsinger, two of the largest avian species at the time, for a scene that never ended up getting made due to the tight sch...

WWD: Rhamphorhynchus etchesi

This is the only taxa which did not change names or get changed to a different species, since it was one of the only species which actually lived at the right time. Although the species depicted he...

WWD: Thrissops sp.

The generic fish of the episode, which I've made into the very common fish genus Thrissops, which is the most numerous type of ray-finned fish collected from the Kimmeridge Clay Formation....

WWD: Asteracanthus ornatissimus

The nameless shark of the episode, which was supposed to be Hybodus, but for whatever reason they didn't see fit to identify it by name. Part of the franchise's thing about giving sharks t...

WWD: Juratyrant langhami

The rather predictable Eustreptospondylus replacement, considering this is the only well-known theropod dinosaur taxa from the Kimmeridge Clay and roughly the same size as the original spe...

WWD: Mesolimulus sp.

The horseshoe crabs of the episode. These were almost physically identical to the horseshoe crabs of the modern day (hence them being played by living horseshoe crabs in the episode) and fossils of...

WWD: Thalassemys bruntrutana

The dead sea turtle that appeared in one scene being scavenged by the Eustreptospondylus. This was one of the largest turtles to live in Europe during the Jurassic Period, with a total she...

WWD: Belemnotheutis antiquus

The squid equivalent for the episode (appears getting eaten by Ophthalmosaurus), the genus Belemnotheutis, which would have been a very common sight in the shallow seas covering E...

WWD: Pectinatites rarescens

One of the most successful taxa of the Mesozoic were not merely the reptiles, but the molluscs. During this period evolved some of the very largest cephalopods and bivalves to have ever lived; vast...

WWD: Kimmerosaurus langhami

The Cryptoclidus equivalent, a closely related cryptoclidine plesiosaur that actually lived at the time of the episode. There were two suboptimal choices from the Kimmeridge Clay, either o...

WWD: Thalassodraco etchesi

Possibly the most infamous episode of the original series, for reasons that will be seen very soon. This is the point where the series starts getting a bit liberal with what lived when, because nea...

River Bunnies

(to reiterate, this was a commission for a species of foot-propelled aquatic rabbits, with the details below based on those given by the commissioner)

---

Living in the river systems of...

River Bunnies (WIP 2)

River Bunnies (WIP)

Work-in-progress for a commission for aquatic rabbits that swim by kicking like frogs, while their ears are retained for steering underwater.

WWD: Time of Titans (Redux)

And finally, here's all of the Morrison Formation buddies together. The lack of mid-sized dinosaurs (like, say, Camptosaurus, Ceratosaurus, or Camarasaurus) is a little too bad, b...

WWD: Brachiosaurus altithorax

Oh boy, here we go. The biggest animal to feature in the episode, even if its role is little more than a glorified cameo just to show off a cool dinosaur, which was, at the time, thought to be the ...

WWD: Apatosaurus louisae

Okay, so this one did not actually appear in WWD, but it's the only one left over and it's in the same time and place as all the others, so I might as well include it. It featured briefly ...

WWD: Mesadactylus ornithosphyos

The only animal that needed to be changed, the Anurognathus, which has been changed to the tentatively classified anurognathid of the Morrison Formation, Mesadactylus, due to the ...

WWD: Allosaurus fragilis

The lion of the Jurassic. The most common large predator of the Morrison Formation, or well, in WWD, the ONLY large predator of the Morrison Formation (sorry Torvosaurus and Ceratosaur...
