Australia contains some of the world's oldest surviving rock art traditions, with cultural landscapes stretching back tens of thousands of years. This visual guide explores the remarkable diversity of Aboriginal rock art across the continent, from the elegant Gwion Gwion figures and powerful Wandjina ancestors of the Kimberley, to the X-ray paintings of Arnhem Land, the Quinkan spirits of Cape York, the petroglyphs of the Pilbara, and the stencil galleries of Carnarvon Gorge.

Each region developed its own artistic language, reflecting local Dreaming stories, ancestral beings, Country, and cultural traditions. Together these rock art traditions reveal the depth, sophistication, and continuity of the world's oldest living culture.

Daily Dragon #326 - Dragonquin

I've done Mario dragons, I've done Sonic dragons. So I feel like I have to do something for my 3rd platforming all-timer: Ty the Tasmanian Tiger!

if its ok

here you go, I hope you enjoy! it was a bit tricky finding good pictures, so I hope it’s good enough

Okay so apparently there was going to be a mutant Frill x Quinkan (Frillquin) hybrid in TY 3, and like, oh my God, that's so COOL?? Like, who did this, Karlos or the Quinking, or a third party? It would have been pretty scary if there were very few of these guys (unlike the Zombie Frills who are everywhere and controlled by the Quinkan) just hidden away in dark corners, being larger than normal Frills but smaller than Über Frills, and have them flip between running on all fours and walking/attacking on two legs.

Quinking Small: 100 cm (3' 3'') Large: 450 cm (14' 9'')

Wingquin! 80 cm (5'11'')

First pic of my quinkan art for TY the Tasmanian Tiger 3: Night of the Quinkan. If you were watching me from the beginning on deviantART, you'd see a couple older attempts at this guy (which 'thank you' if you're still watching <3).

I will warn you guys, the visual height measurement is only approximate AND it's when they are at full height, meaning their legs are stretched out and not scrunched (which is normal for most of them).

Gah, I have some weird fascination with this species. They're a great example of what I like in certain multiple enemy designs in games: At the base, they are similar, but placing the fine and minor details in, they have their unique variety. But anyways, yeah, dark colored, smooth looking skin, very monster/alien-esque, stylized yet makes (some sort of) sense, etc ACK! MY HEART! I LOVE THEM! Initially I was just going to do the quinkan, but after watching Markiplier play Deep Rock Galactic with his friends on Twitch, I got a jolt of motivation to draw some other fauna, flora, and geology as well. In Deep Rock Galactic, you mine in these extraterrestrial caves and caverns filled with minerals and alien insectoids, and IMMEDIATELY I was like, "THAT'S what their home dimension looks like! It fits so well!!"
