Speedpaint of the cephalopod resting on the ocean floor. Its shell is off-white and its flesh is a deep red-orange.
#Paleoctober2025 day 15 paleoart sketch with the earliest known shelled cephalopod Plectronoceras.
#Paleoctober #Paleoart #Plectronoceras #Cephalopod
Small pen on paper drawing of two animals being drawn into a black hole. One is Plectronoceras, the earliest known cephalopod, a tiny creature with a curved shell and a worried eye. Several of its ten arms are normal length and the others are wildly stretched out. The second animal is a Queen Alexandra's Birdwing, the largest butterfly in the world. She is trying unsuccessfullly to fly away from the black hole, while her hindwings and legs and abdomen are elongated and ragged. The prompts are written on the side: ragged, Queen Alexandra's birdwing, black hole, as a non-human, Plectronoceras.
Today's #Paleoctober prompt was my baby Plectronoceras, so I had to add it to the #inktober #invertober2025 #SpacetoberChallenge #OC_tober mashup. They all played nicely: the gravity of the black hole makes things ragged, and Plectro is already my non-human OC.
The Early Cretaceous stick grasshopper perched on a giant horsetail. It has well developed wings.
The lobe-finned fish swimming in the Late Carboniferous tropical shallows.
#Paleoctober2025 day 13 and 14 paleoart sketches with the early stick grasshopper Eoproscopia and the strange shaped coelacanth Allenypterus.

The genus existed until the Miocene, but I chose the Late Cretaceous Sequoites dakotensis so I could include an enantiornithine bird. The juvenile avialan is begging for food from an unseen parent perched atop the conifer branch with a cone and speculative leaves below it. The scene is overcast with fine rain.
#Paleoctober2025 day 7 paleoart sketch of the extinct conifer Sequoites.

Uma recomendação pro #PaleOctober, a série Planeta Pré Histórico da Apple TV é maravilhosa e tá pra sair a terceira temporada. Se vc é estudante só paga 11,90 pelo Apple Music + Apple TV pelo myunidays
