“Lazarus species” (started 2021, casually finished in 2022)

Hi again! Still alive. 

Random dissappearance was due to needing to replace the entire (wood-tiled) roof of my house... I’m absolutely broken, had to ask family and even a friend for money, but the deal is done at least. And just in time as it’s started raining and it’s gonna remain that way for at least a week (thankfully!!! the drought has been severe in here lately, and the forest fires all over the country have been brutal). I will have to budget very hard in the upcoming months, and feeling exhausted, but also relieved the roof is done with. 

So yeah! This blog exists mostly to archieve old art, but have some new art this time!

Lazarus species.... aka, species that were once thought extinct, but were later found to still subsist. Names in the tags, and probably to be edited later and added to the body of the post as well.

These are just casual doodles, that I sometimes do as warmup. They’re not the best and I can see alot of things I could fix... but doodles be doodles! 

Terror Skink

The terror skink (Phoboscincus bocourti) is a species of skink found only on the Isle of Pines, a small islet off the coast of New Caledonia. First described in 1876, it was considered extinct until being rediscovered in 1993, and in December 2003, a specimen was found by some specialists from the French Muséum national d'histoire naturelle.  Further individuals have been discovered in 2009 and 2013.
