Digital colour painting of a mottled blue purple and green ichthyosaur

Trying out Clip Studio Paint for the first time to wean myself off adobe products. I'm enjoying CSP a lot after just a few hours. Some interesting tools that will be a help. This generic #Ichthyosaur is another future sticker design #Paleoart #SciArt

A digitally inked and colored drawing of a blue white and grey avali inflating a life-sized (5.5m) teal inflatable temnodontosaurus through the valve on the side of the large-eyed marine reptile’s tail.

That little space feather duster sure has some lungs on him. He might want to find a space better suited to a life-sized #inflatable #temnodontosaurus though…

Two old ichthyosaur artworks exhibited in #Birmingham (UK): the 1996 piece was my very first acrylic painting for a museum, & the 2016 piece was my very last acrylic painting for a museum (I now paint digitally).

A drawing of a normal-sized Avali blowing up a life-sized (and quite large) ichthyosaur toy in a slightly dated-looking room with orangish wall panels and warm yellow lighting.

The #Avali pits his powerful respiratory system against the life-sized #Temnodontosaurus' appetite for air. It's probably going to be a stalemate, there's not enough space for the big-eyed #marinereptile to finish growing.

A pencil sketch of a little Avali blowing up the squashy reptilian bulk of a life-sized inflatable temnodontosaurus.

@aphinityavali.bsky.social tests his mettle blowing up Poole the #Temnodontosaurus, who’s over five times longer than the space feather duster is tall.

The foreshortening needs fine-tuning though, I’ll fix that when I scan.

Digital cel-shaded art of an ichthyosaur leaping, dolphin-like, out of an isometric square chunk of open, frothing ocean water. The ichthyosaur has been colored like a mashup between a sea turtle and a common dolphin, with a long white stripe along its sleek body, white countershading on the belly and under each fin, and a pop of yellow around each eye. Its eye takes heavier inspiration from sea turtles with sideways, wrinkly eyelids and broad but hydrodynamic scale patterns all over the face. In most respects this animal looks like a dolphin except for its nostrils being closer to its eyes, tail being vertically-oriented instead of the mammalian horizontal orientation, and a big toothy grin full of reptilian teeth in its beak.

Day 9: Ichthyosaur

Apparently the closest living relative to an ichthyosaur is a turtle? Can anyone out there correct me on this?

The #ichthyosaur cosplayer in Once Upon A Katamari is so me-coded, it's uncanny. Down to nibbling weird things and having gastrointestinal distress.

They're so getting a toy based off of them some day, sort of like Rockeye but without the beer gut.

Is Ichthyotitan the largest marine reptile yet known? Jawbone fossils suggest Ichthyotitan severensis may have been the largest ichthyosaur yet known—and hunted prey much like orca.

Over 200 million years ago, an #apex #predator called an #ichthyosaur swam the oceans, preyed on marine life like orcas do. Now paleontologists have found evidence of an ichthyosaur that was potentially more than 80 feet long, an animal so big the fossil was initially mistaken for a #dinosaur bone.
