Here It Is! Kelenken Guillermoi. This Apex Predator Ruled Argentina Ca 17 Million Years Ago. One Of The

Here it is! Kelenken guillermoi. This apex predator ruled Argentina ca 17 million years ago. One of the largest of the known terror birds, it had the largest skull of any known bird ever! The holotype specimin sported a skull meassuring 70 centimeters, and it might not have been fully grown yet. This callback to the non-avian dinosaurs likely used it's long and well-developed legs to ambush and run down the unique megafauna of South America, dispatching them with vicious kicks, pecks reminiscent of being picked by a pickaxe, or by grabbing them and violently throwing them to the ground, like it's closestliving relatives; the seriema. . Finally! I've been working on this for a LONG time! It feels really good to have the sculpture finished. I learned a lot making this one, and you can see a clear progression from the first model i posted, and this one. This is sort of a re-take on that first model, tho the actual remake of the first one is still early on in the making, being a scantly clad armature for now. Credit to the tagged creator of the skeletal i based it on, check them out, they've got some good sketches!

Next up on the unicorn tree, we have an, as of now, unnamed species, descended from the unoceratherium (2 image). This species was more adapted to open grasslands than it's predecessors and the two last lines of unicorns, both its descendants, or very close relatives. The previously three hoofed feet are now mainly monodactylous, it's other digits being lifted off the ground, like the artiodactyle posterially positioned toes. It's horned is larger, slightly curved, and is now "twisted" in a corkscrew manner. This species likely went extinct from preassure by climate, hunting, and being out competed by bovids and cervids, and also the other equids like the larger wild horse. . This design is based more off on the split from the equid family while they still had 3-toed hooves and had moved into open grasslands, than the very early split from the forest dwelling ancestors mentioned in my previous post. #art #artist #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #paleoartist #fantasyart #unicorn #fantasyscience #fantasy #fantasticbeasts #conceptart #creaturedesign #creaturedesigner #creatureart #wip #workinprogress #sketchbook #sketch #drawing #magicalbeast #magicalcreature https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Kn3hsHaC2/?igshid=ooqk5x5q2by5

@sr.snek 's 5-min draw/sculpture reward request for guessing the right answer to what video game dragon inspired me while coming up with a dragon character. They requested a baryonix sculpture, so here they are! I also played around posing it on my forest lake diorama from earlier this year😁 Thank you all for participating! . #miniature #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #paleoartist #sculptor #sculpture #supersculpy #paleoart #creaturedesigner #creaturedesign #dinos #art #artist #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #dinosaurart #dinosaur #diorama #baryonix #dinosaursofbritain #jurassic #jurassicdinosaurs #dinosaurs #prehistoricanimal #prehistoriccreature https://www.instagram.com/p/B5F8tsdlVmz/?igshid=afgsvcyadwrd

Do you remember her? THIS is her NOW! Soo.. i thought i saved my little forest creek diorama from the summer sun, but turnes out it got too hot in the cabinet as well😓 I believe the water effect i used was too thick compared to what is advised on the bottle, so that may have had something to do with it too? I learned a lot from it and got some nice photos of it anyway, so it's not that big a loss. Oh well! I'll do better next time😋 #miniature #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #paleoartist #sculptor #sculpture #supersculpy #watereffect #art #artist #thenandnow #update #forestpond #lake #pond #forestdiorama #diorama #miniatures #minatureenvironment #miniaturepond #duck #mallard #pike #perch #fish https://www.instagram.com/p/B3nRmLyF16_/?igshid=1fhcvp5bhzg2b
