Chimeric Chronicles: Were-Nanotyrannus
I had an extra idea alongside the paleoart piece for Andrewsarchus and that was to do another piece for Chimeric Chronicles - basically my now de facto inactive worldbuilding project that I may pop in from time to time just for fun. I haven’t really seriously developed the project since early 2025 now thanks to me gearing my focus towards developing the Dracosphere project concerning the Nari (Dracoghouls) themselves.
This time, in the light of recent events, I would just do a were-Nanotyrannus. Canonically in the context of Chimeric Chronicles, there was indeed an older piece containing the youngest sister of Kital where she was implied to be a were-Nanotyrannus, but that it was still mostly dubious at the time that I made it and that she straddles between the lines of a feathered juvenile T. rex and not a separate species.
For this one, since its (currently) considered a valid taxon by a recent paper, I decided that I should go forward with an adult Nanotyrannus or at least a humanoid/werebeast form of it - I haven’t really dug into the idea of doing proper paleoart for it because I’ve been trying to get all of my overdue work for 2025 done - and that includes the magnum opus piece that I promised to myself back in July 2025 with covering a brief history of ghoulkind.
In-canon for Chimeric Chronicles specifically, this architect or urban planner would have lived in the ancient moundbuilding villages and settlements that are straddled between the ancient Perikian Empire and the Appalachians*. This region would closely correspond to the archaeological Mississippian culture.
