Only one Soviet book about thylacines, by A.Cheglok (А.Чеглок) with illustrations of Vatagin (Ватагин).
It was printed in 1925 year and had price 15 kopeek which made it available for pioneers, labourers and clerks.
Of course, Cheglok shared with his contemporary authors a lot of prejudices on thylacines, e.g. about their strength, predatory behaviour or even stupidity, saying that they were larger than common wolves, they attacked cows and even were ... man-eaters.
Yet there weren't any other books on thylacines printed in USSR after 1925.
(And same prejudices were also repeated in most authoritative Soviet book "Animal life" aka "Жизнь животных" in 1970s).
From my private collection
The Secret of Lidian, 2025 Mass-attack on several Hunters Unlucky fans for Art Fight
DRAMATIS PERSONAE under the cut
Some studies and a Thylacine furry as per @lalabluegirl's request!
You're the only one who said anything about that thylacoleo, and anyway I've not done real studies in forever so it did me good.
Curb Fight that I drew for @ikrutt 's Curb draw for Artfight, I based this from my knowledge of the Curb (Fictional Thylacine) species from @alhilton 's Hunters Unlucky. I made this prior to reading the book, but I still take pride in the work I put into illustrating this battle between two Lowland Curb tribes over a river.
After reading the book (which I recommend for anyone that's read xenofiction), I have slightly developed a different view of the curb species. There's themes of cultural genocide, the vicious cycles of revenge & hatred, inter/intraspecies competition & politics. I will admit that most of the plot is focused not on the Curb species (Lowland & Highland respectively). Perhaps there will be more Curb related content in the future!
The style is based on the Codex Tovar's Battle of Coyohuacan, along with an experimental 'Curb Script' I developed. There's plants and elements derived from Nahua glyphs as an homage to the original scribes that illustrated these books on Indigenous Mexican history.

READ A BOOK ART CONTEST!
Need a new book for book club? Want some weird fiction for spooky season? Maybe some art to go with that? Look no further, I am throwing an "art for book review" contest!
CONTEST IS OPEN UNTIL 30th of NOVEMBER
RULES
Read an Abigail Hilton (@alhilton) book. Get them directly from the author here, or through the usual channels on Audible, Amazon, etc.
Leave a fresh review in a blog or social medium of any language. For legal reasons, I can't accept reviews on commercial sites, but Goodreads, Tumblr, Bsky, Mastodon, VK, Facebook, or what have you, are all good!
Message me (here or on Bsky) with a link to the review in question. It does not have to be long or fancy, but it has to be a written review. Using AI to generate it will get you booted from the contest - you don't have to stoop that low! Just read and/orlisten a book and write some words.
Each new review is assigned a number (which I'll tell you) which counts as a ticket for the draw. I don't care if you crosspost the review to other sites, still counts individual tickets!
The final draw will be on the 1st of December. I'll assign a number to each review and draw winners tombola style over at random.org
PRIZES
1st prize A full illustration by me. I can work in any style, but am most known for my paintings. Check my gallery for examples (Bsky, FA, Tumblr, site)

Happy reading!
Some suggestions for people who don't know where to begin!
Hunters Unlucky - Goodreads
A xenofiction coming of age novel about the lives and politics of intelligent animals on the Island of Lidian. The first book in the series works very well as a stand-alone and a 4.5 hour FREE sample is available directly from the author:
Narrated by Rish Outfield - 4.5 HoursSample also included as eBook. He's not bigger. He's not faster. He's not meaner. So he'd better be sma
The first two books are suitable for younger audiences and up, but the novels following those are of a much more adult nature. "Old cat yaoi" gets thrown around jokingly by fans, but they're also excellent depictions of changing societies and how warriors cope with peace.
Pirates of Wefrivain - Goodreads
Absolutely fantastic fantasy epic about pirates and ships and fauns and slavery and politics and kings and dragons and all the most wonderful characters you can possibly imagine.
The series is currently being released as a podcast for FREE, but you can also buy the books directly from the author over here.
Gerard lost his birthright in his small island kingdom when he married the court minstrel. He fled to the only place that offered protection
Eve and Malachi - Goodreads
A spooky xenofiction series about a rat and a python going on adventures and solving mysteries. Season appropriate fiction for younger audiences, but also very enjoyable for adults who enjoy horror or animal fiction!

Got asked how I make my reconstructions and I thought maybe others might be interested also so I put together my process. I don't pretend to be a skilled paleo artist, but I enjoy the process, deep diving into ancient species and seeing how my interpretations compare to real paleoart.
thinking about how my dad fled his home country at 19 in the middle of a war and then after 9/11 came to my preschool to educate kids on middle eastern culture/food/clothing so they wouldn’t be scared of people in traditional/religious dress or worry when they heard someone speaking arabic

this post has started blowing up. for those who have liked/reblogged this: i am asking you to please circulate and donate to palestinian gofundme’s/other resources for palestine. i’m glad people find this story heartwarming but i want people to be vigilant in not letting the palestinian genocide just fizzle out of the news cycle like it’s some “trend”. do not turn a blind eye to ethnic cleansing, it is very much real and happening right now. if you can afford to donate, please do so. but Everyone is capable of using their voice, whether it be online or in their communities through organizing/protesting. i do not wanna hear shit about “empathetic burnout” from those who have FAR more privilege than these people could probably ever dream of in their lifetime. do not let apathy take hold, palestine will be free 🇵🇸
If you want to help the people in Gaza, I have here a few gofundme campaigns here I’m focusing on. These are all gfm campaigns from palestinians I have regular contact with, and I would really appreciate if you can donate to them.

Only his sister Tasnim and her 6-month-old daughter managed to evacuate after being seriously injured. Mahmoud is trying to raise funds to evacuate the rest of his family of 17 people, including several children, many of whom are also seriously injured and require medical care.
This campaign is vetted by association. Mahmoud is @hazempalestine's friend, see post here for proof. (@hazempalestine is vetted by @/el-shab-hussein and is listed as #281 on the verified fundraiser list by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi.)

Only €3,199 raised of €55,000 target!
Donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-my-family-to-reach-save-out-of-gaza
Ahmed is in Belgium but his family is still in Gaza. He is trying to evacuate his family of 12, including 6 adults and 6 children under 16 years old. They were at Al-Mawasi when those 2000 pound bombs were dropped on tents housing displaced families at Al-Mawasi, but luckily they survived.
Ahmed's campaign has been promoted by Bilal-Salah0 (#132 on the verified fundraiser spreadsheet vetted by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi). Also vetted by association. Ahmed is a friend of @/hazempalestine (#281 on the verified fundraiser list by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi.). See post here
Hazem Khalil (@hazempalestine)
Currently €51,634 raised of €70,000 goal
Donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/re2ty-help-my-family-in-gaza-reach-safety
Hazem is from Gaza but he moved to Belgium in 2018 for his studies. Since then, he has not been able to see his family in Northern Gaza. He is trying to raise funds to evacuate his 7 family members (his parents, and his 5 little siblings). Jabalia refugee camp, the place where his family is staying at, faces frequent bombings, and he has lost contact with them after bombings. He has raised his campaign goal since Gofundme takes a 4% cut and the transfer fee from Belgium to Palestine is an insanely high 35%.

Where I Used To Live
Small, quite unplanned painting inspired by an old colorised photo I saw of one of the last remaining thylacines in captivity, something about the pose seemed a little wistful to me.

Dream come true!!! I got to see tassie devils at the Copenhagen Zoo!!
Copenhagen is the only facility outside Australia with a devil breeding program and all other devils housed in europe come from this venture. These guys are spoiled rotten with a massive naturalistic enclosure and their keepers actually have to attend a devil husbandry bootcamp down under (Taronga zoo i believe) in order to care for them!
Apparently this all came to a head because the Danish king Frederik married a tassie and as a gift the aus govt let their zoo start this program and excellent tasmanian pavillion. Didn't get to see a feeding or screams but i got to watch one splooting and another was snacking on something and holding it in his little hands like a raccoon which i didn't know they did!!
I got to touch a devil pelt and of course I had to commemorate the experience by getting a little guy
That devil pelt tho…
