Feliform

This is a fictional dinosaur I came up with awhile back, its design was influenced by the “Therizinosaurus” from Dino Crisis and the Carnotaurus from Chrichton’s Lost World (especially the arcade game equivalent). Its small but strong and heavily built hunter that’s to slow to catch fast prey or outrun larger predators. But like TLW Carno, it can turn invisible (its not meant to be realistic) to ambush agile prey or hide from faster predators.

I was commissioned to draw several fictional animals (Mapinguari, Waheela and Pard) for their speculative evolution project “Great Lakes Earth.”

Watched Plague of Madness (and loved it, probably my second favorite episode so far) ,and felt inspired to do more Primal fanart. But I wasn’t in the mood to draw dinosaurs so I drew this mysterious mammal that hasn’t appeared in the show yet, but appeared in promo images circulating around online.

I was going through some old africam screensnaps (a website that livestreams wilderness in africa http://www.africam.com/wildlife/index.php ), and found these (all from the Tembe cam). In the first image, there’s two male nyala (and a few females). The male nyala on the right is normal, but the male to the the left had a deformed antler (nyala antlers aren’t supposed to curve down like a sheep’s). In the second image is a close up view of his deformed antler.

Although I feel bad for the poor thing, it was really astounding I was online at the right time to see it.

I also came across a picture of a giraffe chilling with some impala. For some reason this giraffe really creeped out a friend of mine.

An experimental comic thing based on a story concept I’ve always wanted to make, in some manner, of about a mother cat in a post-apocalyptic horror setting. I haven’t really done backgrounds in ages and still trying to figure out stuff, so that’s why there’s so much inconsistency with them.

Reposting some older primal fanart from my previous blog. I meant to make more (such as the hyena like animal that will probably appear in season 2, and various herbivores like a protoceratid) but I haven’t had the time.

Without giving too much in this episode away, not only did only a single character die, but their death was treated as very meaningful. The episode’s entire plot was based around non-protagonistic characters mourning and wanting solace for the loss of their loved one (much like Spear himself did). All of which were animals with no dialogue whatsoever.

I also love how so far most of the shows characters are animals, which don’t even talk! Yet they’re able to convey so much feeling through expressions and gestures alone. I’m really glad someone finally made something like this.
