Rods

A much overlooked cryptid, rods are believed to be extradimensional creatures. Some believe these undulating, serpent-like creatures move at a rate that is faster than the “framerate” of the human eye, but are sometimes captured on film. Rods have been known to measure from just a few centimetres, to over a mile in length. The largest of rods are believed to be connected to UFOs and alien life. 

Rods are widely discredited as being regular flying insects that appear strange on-camera due to motionblur. However, some sightings are not so easily explained.

Inktober Day 12: The Ahuizotl

The ahuizotl is an amphibious creature, and when on land its fur dries into spikes as hard as steel. Its main prey is humans, although it only consumes the hair, fingernails, and teeth of its victims, leaving the rest of the body unscathed.

Something I’ve been working on for some time. A 3D printed fully pose-able BJD-style Thylacine. I’ve got a couple for sale going live on my website at 4PM GMT 23/02/2020 and I’ll be making more in future. I anticipate these selling quickly! https://www.palaeoplushies.com/

Convergent evolution: Dasyuromorphia and Carnivora

The Encyclopedia of Animal Evolution, 1987

Edited versions of my old thylacine woodcuts :) I got a few messages about the availability of prints and since my Etsy shop is still in a wip state, I added them to my Redbubble profile. (But I wanted them to fit my current style a bit better, that’s why i changed them up a little. I think they look better this way)
