Thylacoleo - Tumblr Posts
Some progress shots from a newly done commission of a thylacoleo carnifex. Looks rather alien and bony doesn't it? Steelwire armature padded with tinfoil, bound by soft steel wire, basic skull and skeletal structure, and premade custom size eyes and very rudementary anatomy "filling". Finished product up on Firday 10th. . Been thinking about doing process videos/time-lapse videos of sculptures. Would you be interested? . Been a few hectic and exhausting weeks! I haven't shown much from the animation project I'm working on for ADHDNorge and Extrastiftelsen..don't know why? Will show some soon as my contract is nearing an end✌😢 On top of this I've been working more on my more seasonal job lately, so, very little time energy to do anything but!😪 #armatureworks #armature #art #artinprogress #wip #artistofinstagram #artist #paleoart #thylacoleo #thylacoleocarnifex #dropbear #marsupial #animalart #sculpture #sciart #fantasyart #creature #creaturedesign #paleoartist #creaturedesigner #dinosaurart #iceage #iceageanimal #maquette #supersculpey #sculpey #supersculpeyoriginal https://www.instagram.com/p/BxRCDPSlR28/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n0oznum5h44d
Thylacoleo carnifex enters the arena! Thylacoleo, commonly called the "marsupial lion" was the largest carniverous marsupial to have ever lived, and could reach about the same weight class as an African lion! Some of it's closest relatives are the kangaroos and wombats. It has a series of adaptations suggesting it stems from an arboreal ancesstor, and it may have evolved carnivory from a mostly herbivorous diet along its evolutionary tree. It actually doesn't have usable canine teeth like most carnivorous mammals do, instead it used its well developed incisors, possibly in combination with its meathook "thumb" claws to deliver a fatal bite to the neck or back of the skull of its prey. . Commission done for @caitlinmillerm I hope you enjoy! And do share if you're painting it or do something fun with him! If you are interested in a commission, contact me through DMs😊 (cannot promise i can do anything until August due to work, but we can talk and plan out the details) #miniature #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #paleoartist #sculptor #sculpture #supersculpy #paleoart #thylacoleo #thylacoleocarnifex #maquette #creatureart #creaturedesign #creaturedesigner #arksurvival #dinosaurart #iceage #iceageanimal #marsupial #marsupialion #commission #art #jurassicworld #jurassicpark #toymaker #prehistoricanimal https://www.instagram.com/p/BxTN-SAl6wr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ougp2n01xyi1
