Among the many fantastic creatures of the Permian were our own cousins, the synapsids, like these lovey-dovey Moschops. As you can see, this picture and the previous one are done in coloured pencils instead of watercolour, because they're the oldest images I'm including in this post. I only very rarely used watercolours before this year. I think it means I should do some more Permian art, it's such a cool and underexposed period.

random thought about Permian and Triassic climates: To me, the huge ocean Panthalassa seems like a good recipe for huge atmospheric rivers: it was huge, it had lots and lots of warm water, and in warm climate the air could take up a huge amount of water. (This is how I imagine the Carnian pluvials, for example.)

An article about modern atmospheric rivers, for reference:

This one's not even in the shops yet but here's the Dinosaur Toy Blog's big reveal and detailed review of Safari Ltd's new-for-2023 Estemmenosuchus: dinotoyblog.com/estemmenosuchu

"...we have skin impressions of Estemmenosuchus. They seem to show that the animal had smooth skin, enhancing the hippo-like appearance of Estemmenosuchus"

That is A LOT of teeth! Studies of Mesosaurus tenuidens. Mesosaurs represent one of the first known reptiles that went back to the water and became aquatic animals

A first person view of petting a like the big pupper it is.

This one popped into my head fully-formed when I saw a Dimetrodon skull at the Paris natural history museum. It looked so friendly and loveable, and in that moment I could easily imagine it laying its head in my lap to ask for pets.

If you enjoy my art, consider leaving a tip at ko-fi.com/vickysaurus/ . Thanks!

A pair of bull Moschops capensis engaged in speculative head-butting. WIP.

I took time last night and early this morning to start working on this to take a break from current commissions

March: in love. Two female Moschops share a moment of affection by the shore. These friend-shaped are thought to be semi-aquatic, and I tried to make them look the part.

was a lepospondyl 'amphibian' which survived from the Late to the Late , roughly 300 - 250 MYA. This beautiful creature grew up to about 1 m long, and had a bizarre boomerang shaped skull.

Here’s an old school project I did back in early 2020. We had to make diagrams of a topic of our choice and I chose the . I wanted to do something outside of the and . Some info may be wrong or outdated and my aren’t spectacular but I like to think I still did a pretty good job and I’m proud of this project.
