bracing for another delay😅

Another commission I did for PBS Eons, here Gondwanaland during the Cambrian. #sciart #geology

best scene

the asymmetry in the Ceratopsian is rly interesting, nice!

Them make-a-case-for-evolution stories sure like those horses, ain't no doubt.

Though always get excited to see those Messel pit fossils 👀

can't wait! 'Earth' is still the best shit

the real photo

#Artemis II but it's the Ordovician period, 465 million years ago.

"What killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age!" - Batman and Robin 1997 YouTube video by Reganous The Grey

In a nutshell:

Capturing "the dark side of the Earth" in a full portrait shot makes this one extra special; we've got both auroras visible as well the atmospheric glow! Amazing

This is Earth as photographed by the Apollo 17 crew on December 7, 1972. The whole planet pretty much fills the picture — you see the deep blue oceans, those swirling white clouds, and Africa standing out as this big brown landmass right from the center to the upper left. It’s the famous Blue Marble shot. Credit: NASA

Pale blue planet with white clouds, Africa visible on the left with the Iberian Peninsula twinkling with city lights along the curved edge. A soft green aurora glows near the top right.

From #Apollo (left) to #Artemis (right), two glances at our only home, 54 years apart.

One was our Blue Marble — full and vibrant.

The other seems like a tiny, solitary jewel in the black cosmic ocean.

Yet it’s always the same #Earth. The same heartbeat.

That’s us… in both.❤️

Apologies for not clarifying, perhaps the 'Jaws Effect' wasn't an obvious reference.

Jaws (film) - Wikipedia

Precisely, it isn't even a documentary. I think you're missing the point - media can have a great affect on public perception, regardless if it's true, untrue, good or bad. In this infamous example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaws_(f...

Most viewers won't research what they've just watched.

These are all over Sweden (including my kitchen floor hehe), mined from places like Kinnekulle :)

🚨 New paper I had the honor to illustrate! 🚨
Guilherme Hermanson and Serjoscha W. Evers take a look at the survivors of the K-Pg event among the turtles and besides size note that especially diet is something that sets them apart: many of them very shell crusher!
paper below:

If they make it less over-dramatic, less theatrical, give it more maturity and depth, and slow down and give it a sense of pace instead of these tik-tok edited flashes then yes... maybe. Though, who the hell wants to see another dinosaur documentary, let's explore some other paleo!

La Palma could make a museum on paleo shows by now lol

thoroughly good stuff

well this is an awkward thread in which to request lol

but cool suggestion!

In a sense, it is propaganda. It doesn't ask any questions, doesn't seek any evidence or doubt. Instead, we get ready made answers presented with fake dopamine infused footage accompanied with a very matter of fact narration. Authority from science is not good scicomm. Better to view it as paleoart.

It very much uses the rhetoric of imperialism, of a progressive evolutionary force aiming to 'improve' and become 'more advanced'; to usurp, dominate and conquer. The term 'ancient reptiles' isn't just cladistically dumb, it paints these other reptiles as inferior. Words matter more to me than CGI.

Where you watching this on mute?

FINALLY SOME ORDOVICIAN

please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck

I love these piece so much!

We need that book

It I imagine the effect will be especially believable when the digital and physical set are combined. Can't wait for the Paleozoic stuff!

One of the better sequences in the series. Just slightly spoiled by the obvious cues leading to the final attack. The beaching could've been more of a surprise imo.
