Fossil - Blog Posts

The thought that dinosaurs and other prehistoric life forms were at one point truly alive and roaming the earth and just behaving no different from any other living thing today just makes me so happy.

I don't even know if happy is the right word, I just couldn't possibly describe the type of amazement I get from thinking about it, I can't put words to it.

Like, these were real living creatures, they aren't from fantasy or mythology.

They breathed and ate and slept and did all sorts of normal animal things, because they were normal! Not some bloodthirsty monsters, they just did what they had to to survive, just like modern day animals.

Looking at the fossils I have in my collection and really thinking about it just amazes me. My little fish, at one point, was swimming around in the water with all the other fish, except this was millions of years ago. It's a little piece of the past, frozen in time, letting people today have even just the smallest glimpse of things that happened so long ago that we'd otherwise have no idea about.

It just, amazes me that at one point, all these creatures that, by comparison to today's life, are so strange or creepy or alien or whatever were once just the norm. It wouldn't be out of the ordinary to see a huge beast of a reptile looming ominously in a forest, or a flying creature far more deadly looking than today's birds of prey soaring through the air, or just, whatever the hell was going on in the Cambrian period, and it was all normal.

I know I'm just repeating myself a lot but wow I just get all sorts of feelings when I think about this stuff

Fuck man the past is so cool

Oh how I desperately want to time travel not to change the past, but to just see the dinosaurs and watch the earth change and evolve over billions of years

was looking through my old rock collection and found something interesting

a complete and intact clam fossil that i had found in my backyard. i live in a completely landlocked state.

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.

Hi everyone I’m sorry ik it’s been months since I said I’d start on my next series but I’ve been finding it hard to get motivation to to it and I need a new art program

Thinking the format will be similar to that of patfw i love the mix of visual storytelling and a more novel format sm and I wanna experiment and put my utmost best into this next project before release!!!

Anyways, I made my Fossilhead dude a real reference!!! :DDD Super happy with how it came out even though ibis no longer seems to support pressure sensitivity which sucks

If anyone knows whether premium still has it or not please lmk before I purchase it! Thanks!!! :3
