yaaaay violet!!!

pokemon trainer violet, art-trade with @ye-oldroderich

while i have kinda chilled a bit on the interest, i still love dinosaurs as well(my room is covered in dinosaur decorations) but fun fact, my first ever oc, which was a sonic oc, is half dinosaur, half hedgehog, a hedgesaur which kid me just designed as like.....a hedgehog....with no ears or backspines.....and tipped quills and i named him......"dino" (die-no) whichi recently learned is an italian name pronounces (dee-no)

dino has had....so many versions over the years, like total of 10 now

THATS SO REAL. my bedroom has some dinosaur stuff in it like a lego brachiosaurus standee + a rex skull model sculpt (forget what specific specimen its based off of) and in my living room we (me and my boyfriend) have a big glass cabinet full of fossils. the shelves are organized into groups. we have a dinosaur shelf (of course) and our big highlights are a spinosaurus tooth bouta as long as your palm + a triceratops vertebra. for non-dinosaurs we got some big sellers like a mesohippus jaw (early horse), an elasmosaur tooth, lots of fossilized coral, some fish from the eocene, and some amber with arthropods inside. we also have a fossilized wasp my boyfriend found himself at a quarry in new york

on the topic of dinosaur ocs i used to have this series of books planned that revolved around dinosaurs time-traveling. it went through like, 5 full revamps since its creation (which was around when i was .... 12?). ive dropped the story really all together, but recently ive been like, recycling some of the characters into other projects. maybe ill post them here eventually!

Attack for @mister-geuse of their SUPER cute wizard omg

Hi i saw a friend of mine do art of ur wiz ocs and kindly i wpuld love to hear more about them. Nonhuman ocs in wiz r so fun

OMG YAAAAAY i love talking about my ocs so bad ..... WAHH. prepare for a long yap sesh

More art of them from last(?) year's art fight by my friend @mister-geuse <3 ily tutt

I love Insaf and Rund they're my little guys im so glad so many people like them too 😭 when i make ocs for media i like to try and explore things that help to flesh out the world more and wizzy has SO many nonhuman peoples and there's just so much you can do ... no shade to people with human ocs of course. but personally i like exploring different things with each character i make

Krokotopia is one of my favorite worlds because i'm old and i like lizard people. it isnt without criticism (LOTS of criticism) though. i dont think ive ever seen another mander oc before (although i havent looked *that* hard, theres probably some out there!) so they were my go-to when making an oc from that world.

Insaf loves history! especially the history of magic in her world. she's often frustrated after she comes to wizard city and the library doesn't have much information on krokotopia's history, let alone things about her culture or anything before the krok dynasties came to power. after being Alhazred's student, she finds Arthur Wethersfield's teaching suuuuper lackluster in comparison. she corrects things he says about Balance magic in her mind. Insaf would be an "um, actually" girl if she wasn't nerfed with a severe anxiety disorder LMAO

she's actually really easy to anger but is just so adept at bottling it that she never shows it. this girl wants to rage so badly. magic is her outlet. she's a bit of a wildcard during duels since shes small and unassuming but VERY quickly becomes very aggressive with lots of offensive spells. she got a broomstick when she moved to wizard city but sucks at riding it and is pretty embarrassed about it (her tail throws her off-balance). she also has a pet chameleon in her dorm! its name is Sheba.

Now for Rund. i love birds and dinosaurs and corvids so a raven was a must-have for me as an oc. also its fun to put your characters through the horrors (ie a cult) and Rund definitely gets the brunt of it lmao. i haven't really ever made a character dealing with amnesia because its such a cheap plot cliché and its never done accurately to how amnesia actually works as like. a nuerological condition. so with Rund i've been really researching how it actually works so that i can portray it well.

amnesia is still not very well understood because the brain is so silly and complicated but if i were to label her with something it'd be pure retrograde amnesia. after her head injury, she can't really remember much at all about herself, and isn't familiar with ravenscar or anyone there. she CAN remember how to use runes, though, and other "muscle-memory" things. after she's sent to wizard city to recover, she starts getting some memories back over time (mostly information she got while reading, and some personal details) but memories specifically retaining to the Coven are much harder for her to remember.

Rund is also autistic (both she and Insaf are) and has some other underlying conditions that were exacerbated by both her head injury and the traumatic stress she was under. she has both motor and vocal tics, and doesn't speak much outside of echoalia. she's very easily overwhelmed so she sticks to less crowded and quieter places, which are hard to find in wizard city ... its why she and insaf hang out by the death school LMAO. no one else is ever there.

Rund uses runestones instead of a spelldeck, just like a lot of people in Grizzleheim traditionally do. she likes to shake the bag and hear them clinking together. her mount is a Death Vortex, and i rationalize it as like ... her turning into a cloud to zip around (usually so she can get on top of something and perch up there). she likes having her hood up so she can block out stimuli. Rund knows people look at her differently, which is part of why she avoids most people. she doesn't really know how to feel about being sent to Ravenwood, but supposes its better than the alternative ... though she misses Grizzleheim's snow.

Rund and Insaf met when they were assigned partner on a death class project. neither of them really had friends before that at ravenwood. Insaf doesn't expect anything of Rund or judge her for things she can't control. Likewise, Rund doesn't judge Insaf for having "unsightly" feelings, and can relate to it. they both like yapping about magic and history, and take turns talking at eachother. they have library dates where they go and point out flaws in the literature (hater activity). they're their own best company.

MY GIRLS THERE THEY ARE !!!!!!!!!!! YIPPPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Attack for @ye-oldroderich of her wizzy guys… really good love to see it

I'M OBSESSED WITH THE WAY YOU DRAW DAVID AN CAR

late reply but thank you 😭 i dont draw them anymore but im glad i posted my older stuff. i kind of miss my style from back then ngl

Save me Kem Kem brothers save me

kem kem brothers save me. i wish they were real. them if they were real ⬇️

consider this a follow-up post to my kem kem beds rant. i think the possible real life interactions between spinosaurus and carcharodontosaurus are super funny (and very underwhelming). in my mind there exists a slice of life daily comic strip about them being bros and going about their stupid dino business (ie doing nothing all day). image i drew in like 2 minutes for added context

Happy redesign my love. ❤️ You’ve been a joy to draw for six years! Here’s to many more with your 3.0 design!

Little bit of a rushed drawing, school kickin me in the booty. 🥲

sometimes i wake up and i remember that I LOVE DINOSAURS !!!!!! RAAAAGHHHH !!!!!!! anyways anyone else ever think about the kem kem beds. because i do.

kem kem beds save me. save me kem kem beds. the disproportionate split between large herbivores and megatheropods enamors me. what do you mean theres just only sauropods and no other large herbivores. what do you mean theres like 20 different large theropod species running around at the same time. why are there fish that damn BIG. what even are noasaurids. also spinosaurus is here.

kem kem group so fine kem kem group divine. my roman empire is thinking about how the ecosystem of the kem kem beds was so incredibly diverse that it allowed for all of these different VERY LARGE carnivores to coexist because they all occupied different niches in the environment. which just totally crumbles the stereotype of Big Theropod Deathmatch because uh yeah, sorry jw bros, we have proof of some of the largest theropods in history all living in the same place at the same time!!! successfully!!! animals do not just go around beefing and fighting one another 24/7, especially carnivores. carcharodontosaurus and spinosaurus are not fistfighting everytime they see one another. spinosaurus is busy sleeping like a log on the riverbank and carchar is just coming by to get a drink. carchar accidentally steps on spino's tail and the spino snaps at it but misses completely because its half asleep and stupid. carchar walks away. they are just animals !!! and every ecosystem is incredibly complex and i love that even though we only have fossils and rocks to go off of this fact is SO evident across the globe but kem kem beds is so special to me. in my heart. anyways very rough sketch to go along with this train of thought.

i miss you kem kem beds. sighs dreamily

wow ignore that i havent posted here since last year. ANYWAYS !!!! somehow i forgot to post these guys alongside my Megaraptor i drew in november so 😭 here's some more fandinos for Paleo Pines !!!

"fandinos" being sorta misleading though since neither of these guys are dinosaurs lol. regardless, up first we have Tanystropheus who is infinitely ridiculous. then we have Sharovipteryx, who is equally infinitely ridiculous. both of these guys lived in the Triassic - and surprisingly, are likely related!

YIPPEEEE GO SPIRIT !!

HEY GAMERS I participated in the Rescue Bots Zine ;) it’s out for free at @turbofox-zines !!

Paleo Pines wrapped!!! these were very fun to do (i posted the one for insta already)

absolutely love this game so much. seeing people with over 600+ hours in it tho is incredibly concerning are you guys okay

regardless, sending love @paleopinesofficial <3

RICE ART !!! RICE ART !!!!

assorted ff doodles

Showed this in the @paleopinesofficial Discord the other day but decided to post it to my other socials too! Here is Megaraptor in the style of Paleo Pines! (specifically in the style of their cute dino ref sheets)

I have been absolutely obsessed with the game since it's come out it's absurd. everyone play it RIGHT NOW RAHHHHHH

RAHHH RICE FOSSIL FIGHTERS !!!!! RAGHHHHH!!!!!! EATING AND CHEWING AND BITING !!!!

Stromatolite Fossil

When I first saw this stone, I was excited. I was even more excited when I found out what it was. A record of the first life forms on Earth. Information from billions of years ago. How could I not be excited? I would love to know all the information hidden inside this beautiful fossil.

yo

i just wanted to say seeing your dave cane headcanon post really got me thinking about the shit ive been through and what its done to my body

so i eventually caved and got my own cane and it kicks ass and helps a lot when i need it

got a bunch of cool stickers on it now and put on a sick new braided handle i made myself

my point is it was cool to see and thank you

this is .... so sweet ??? i never thought when i posted that art that itd reach so many people and actually have an effect 😢 so many people in my notes and replies have been coming forward with similar stories and i just cant believe it.

im so glad youre doing right by your body and health and im honored that my silly hcs actually helped you and many other people with chronic pain and similar issues. i hope your life only gets better from here on out <3

ummmmmmm I THINK this is the last Dinaurian character I have a ref of and the 2nd to last FF character overall

I wanted a dinaurian with wings like Dynal so I made a weirdo high-ranking advisor type. Was in charge of making sure Stone Sleep went well from an advisory and not science-based level (as a result he would be pretty well acquainted with Caephys). Because of this he was one of the last ones who went into it, and has not adjusted well to the fact that their original plan to rebuild their species has failed. Unlike pretty much all my other Dinaurians he stays off of Earth and instead can usually be found on a ship orbiting the planet

He is not super developed beyond that he is my newest Dinaurian OC (I may have said that about Red Racer but I forgor at the time)

A current project of mine involving the Great Sea Shenanigans cast (an oc head world I’ve been developing, it’s kinda DnD adjacent pirate shenanigans) to draw my own set of Tarot cards

the goal is to pay homage to the original tarot card compositions while doing my own twist and making all the drawings related to the characters in question

at the moment I’m just doing the major arcana

the characters for the fool and the empress do not belong to me, I’ll add their users as I figure out how to use Tumblr better

Next set of Vivosaurs, from #021 to #030!
