And here’s my third favorite Leviathan (with Mizu and Almu above it) - Royal Ludroth (HD and no osteoderm versions are here). Still not fully confident in skull, but overall very happy with the result. Definitely like how, just like any monster, it keeps some cartoony proportions. Hopefully that never changes in their design philosophy

Super Sappy NEST Post coming in 3…
I really didn’t think I’d be making this post. Because here’s the thing, I wasn’t even going to NEST originally. I’m in a really busy and stress time of my life with work right now, and with all the busyness, I didn’t think I’d manage a trip out to Philly. But, knowing my friends were going, I got inspired and I had such a good time at AUNT, that I decided to pull the trigger. It wasn’t as long as I would’ve wanted and I wish I got to spend more time with people, but I feel that I made the best of my trip, and I had the absolute pleasure of meeting everyone again, old and new faces alike!
Physically and mentally, I feel an array of things. As I type this, I am a bit under the weather and mentally I do feel sad and depressed that it’s all over so soon. I definitely had my emotions playlist on full blast in the train rides back home. But at the same time, I feel so glad and grateful to be a part of something that stupid teenage me would’ve never imagined. And I owe so many people my thanks and gratitude for allowing me to share the space with them and for taking me in.
So with that said, here are some honorable mentions.
@happydayz101: I know we didn’t get to spend too much time together this time around, but I still wanted you to know I was so grateful to see you and I really hope we cross paths again soon rather than later! I will have to type out an IOU for a foot rub and lots more at a future date haha. But you’re lovely and it’s always a pleasure! 💜
@knotyoursoftkore: I really hope I made you proud after being a newbie at AUNT and taking the next big step into the crazy world of NEST! I appreciate you always being so supportive and even motherly towards me, and it’s people like you that made me feel so comfortable interacting with the community and putting myself out there! I also have to thank you for letting me rub your feet the night before I left. I was really feeling the blues Sunday night and that helped me to end the whole weekend on a good note. Let’s make plans to hang out again soon! 💜
@awkweirdtato: FRENNN I OWE YOU SO MANY THANKS AND HUGS!! I was really bummed that I wasn’t able to book a room at the hotel and financially, I was a bit concerned about making the trip work. But you helped me so much by helping with transportation and letting me stay with you for a night, I really am so grateful for all you did for me! So thank you for stepping up to the plate and being so amazing always. You were a big support system for me too, and I haven’t forgotten our fun play sesh haha. I hope to see you again soon!! 💜
@nixxiesoles: After following your pages for so long and getting to know you as a person, it feels so surreal that I finally got to meet you in person! You are a gorgeous, beautiful person and I wish we got to spend more time together, but I had so much fun hanging out with you! I love that we have mutual friends, and one of the biggest highlights for me the entire weekend was getting to rub you and Lux’s feet at the same time. That was a major fantasy of mine and the fact I got to live it out with two of my absolute favorite foot babes was the absolute best thing I could ask for. I’m so down to visit Philly or NJ sometime so we can hang out again, but until then, I appreciate you hun and do not be a stranger! 💜
And last but not least, @theminipotat: 🥺 Bestie…I don’t even know how to begin this portion of the post, because there is so much I want to say and express to you. But I am so unbelievably happy that you are in my life and I am honored to call you one of my best friends. I’ve told you so much that you’ve been such a bright light for me these last several months, and I don’t take that lightly at all. It’s been such a pleasure to get to know you at both gatherings I’ve been to. You are an absolutely beautiful soul, so sweet, kind, funny, and just an absolute joy to be around! I am so proud you made it through the weekend despite the struggles leading up to it, and I loved spending every second I could with you! Not to mention I love being your #1 footboy and I will cherish that forever. I love you dearly, and WE HAVE to make plans to hang out soon! 💜💜
To everyone else I saw and got to hang out with, thank you for giving me great company throughout the weekend and if any NEST staff happens to see this, thank you for having me and for all the hard work that goes into this! I don’t know what’s next for me besides AUNT next year, but I will never forget the memories I’ve made this year with some of the best people I know.
Thank you and good night 🤘🏻❤️
By the way, if anyone at all is interested what made me go back to paleoart. And I’m sorry in advance that it’s gonna be a bit personal. It was annual cleaning. More specifically, something I found during it. Probably my most cherished book in my small (most books were left in father’s/childhood apartment after certain events in 2020) collection - Paleostream book by amazing Joschua Knüppe
Yes, it might not be the most “informative” paleo book out there, but for me it has something much much more important than encyclopedic information - unimaginable levels of inspiration and warm memories. It even contains one of the first drawings I saw being made live (Parasaurolophus looking for its herd. Might’ve discovered it before, but it’s the first I remember out of the ones included in the book). At first I was just watching the streams and didn’t interact with the chat. But then eventually I discovered probably the best community I’ve ever been a part of. For a long time I didn’t interact with this amazing community because I didn’t feel good enough for that (for many reasons). But after I found this book, I started watching recordings of streams (my new sleep schedule doesn’t like the idea of me joining them. I wanted to participate in recent flocking, but fell asleep), but I’m super hesitant to interact on the server (for same reasons as before). Still, I’m now back to something I enjoyed purely because of this book and I can’t be more grateful. Can’t promise I won’t do another skeletal reconstruction (of an actual taxon this time), but I will try to improve my skills at life reconstructions and backgrounds. And probably I’ll be able to join next flocking
Decided to finish it the best way I could at this point. Need a lot more practice with background, but this should be good enough for the first time in years. Also noticed Guanlongs while working on it, so this is not a Xinjiangtitan, but likely a Mamenchisaurus (since it’s the best known sauropod from Shishugou formation). Which would mean that large theropod is a Sinraptor. However, pterosaurs don’t look like Sericipterus and I don’t have a layer with references to check what I was thinking back when I started it. So all criticisms in that department will be completely deserved. Still, didn’t want to change their anatomy to respect my younger self “vision” (even if it’s questionable). But hey, it was still fun to try and make it work even if background and pterosaurs don’t live up to my expectations. Gonna try and practice more from now on
Also I might be the last one to make anything for that challenge
Spent entire day trying to make a more dynamic pose or more interesting color scheme, but this simple drawing is still charming in its own way so I left it as is. Yes, for now I work slowly but at least it’s a very fun process. Gonna take something out of my comfort zone next

In today’s episode of me trying to get back to paleoart by doing quick sketches from memory - unreferenced azhdarchid. Was supposed to be something like Hatzegopteryx, but now I see that proportions are off. And likely some other anatomical features. Still wanted to make a pterosaur with a coloration loosely based on my favorite bird - black kite (black-eared subspecies). Which I somewhat accomplished, I guess. Next piece should be a practice at a more dynamic pose as well as work with color
Haven’t drawn birds, let alone extinct ones, in years. So decided to draw one I was pretty familiar with in a simple lateral view. Wing was rather challenging, but I hope it looks good after all. So here’s a rather simple Crosnoornis nargizia reconstruction. Colors are inspired by closest living relatives as well as other small passerines
So today I decided to remind myself that I can draw something but skeletals and fanart. And obviously I had to start with my favorite dinosaur -Guanlong. It’s unreferenced so proportions might be off and legs are also a bit rough because I completely forgot how to draw them. Same with color in limited time. But now I really want to get back to proper paleoart (probably because of something I found recently, but that’s a story for a different post), even though I might not be, for lack of a better word, worthy enough. Still gonna try. As of now it has a lot of room for improvement
