Pygmy marmoset is fascinated by an insect Original post

Artober 2026 but it’s the Permian period - 27: Diictodon If the outside is too scary, you can just make yourself a little nest underground (we literally have skeletons of these little guys inside of fossil traces of galleries!)

Artober 2026 but it’s the Permian period - 26: Gorgonops One of the most iconic therapsids, depicted here in the aftermath of a forest fire - wait, when did that become a common occurrence?

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?" Probably the shit ton of Doctor Who fan art I made between 2014 and 2018 because it accidentally infiltrated the extended universe's canon, like on this 2024 audio cover where C'rizz is wearing a hoodie

Artober 2026 but it’s the Permian period - 25: Perplexisaurus If you're a small animal and it gets too hot outside, you can always go back into the water, I guess... for now, at least.

Artober 2026 but it’s the Permian period - 24: Scutosaurus One of the largest reptiles of its time, complete with bony armor and spikes on its face! The formation its first fossils were found seemed to have been made of semi-arid plains. Probably nothing to worry about.

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

How often do socks go missing in space? All the time. Socks reject the laws of a closed system. They vanish into vents and airlocks. They're vaporized. Pilots wake from cryosleep missing one sock

almost started doom scrolling and then a huuuuuge skein of geese flew over. thank you honk honks

a message from the future

Artober 2026 but it’s the Permian period - 23: Euchambersia A possibly venomous therapsid. I thought it would be funny to give it a cute appearance.

Artober 2026 but it’s the Permian period - 22: Choerosaurus These little freaks had weird facial bumps and while we're not entirely sure what they were for, they might have used them to fight each other, so this drawing was based on opossums fighting and screaming at each other

Artober 2026 but it’s the Permian period - 21: Bulbasaurus "Bulbasaurus was ostensibly not directly named after the Pokémon Bulbasaur, but rather after its nasal bosses (...); however, the describers noted that the similarity in name "may not be entirely coincidental."" (wikipedia)

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 20: Proburnetia This guy has a super lumpy head full of weird little protrusions and if any of it was visible on the outside when it was alive, I think it needed a really good dust bath. So that was the inspiration for this drawing

im NOT constantly worried about ‘running out of time’ or whatever. and to prove it here’s Dying in Space With You (guy with 30 minutes to live) and Leo Ended Years Ago (guy obsessed with ‘missing his chance’ to be a girl). now if i dont finish this script by the end of next year i will be killed

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 19: Coelurosauravus Meanwhile, some reptiles discovered that the trees were a nice place to hang out, and found a quick way to glide away in case of emergency.

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 18: Lycaenops I tried to make this one look like a modern fox chasing a salamander, except with Lycaenops in a Permian forest. Moss was already around at the time, as well as ferns and mushrooms, and the trees are Glossopteris.

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 17: Estemmenosuchus There's endless debates about how visible the bony structures on this guy's head were, and the hippo-like lifestyle is speculative, but at least we have skin impressions, so we know it was hairless and scaleless.

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 16: Suminia Meanwhile in the trees, monkeys 1.0 heard you were talking shit about them (we don't know if they actually lived in groups, but one fossil block found in Russia contained 15 of them buried together)

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 15: Eunotosaurus This little guy just looks like a lizard with a rounder body, but inside, its ribs have started to fuse together to form some kind of... protective shell? Very intriguing. Probably a secret tool that will help us later

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 14: Moschops Recently I've seen a Tumblr user referring to this animal as "just some guy" and now I can't stop thinking about it. Moschops is just some guy

Got the thing I bought from mister @owendennis.com !! also here's my cat trying to bite Simon

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 13: Helicoprion Apparently that weird jaw might have been used to slurp ammonites out of their shells? We're not entirely sure. In any case, since this guy is related to modern chimeras, I figured it needed big worried eyes.

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 12: Trilobite It was these little guys' last hurrah after having existed for 270 million years, with over 22000 species identified. They are already a bit harder to find during the Permian, though, with only a few species appearing in the fossil record.

I wonder how many of the guys in "Fight Club" went to one meeting of the fight club and were like "Eh, not for me" and joined a cooking class or something

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 11: Anteosaurus At the top of the food chain in the Middle Permian, there's this guy with a really thick and bossy skull, so I thought it would be fun to draw strange decorations on it.

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 10: Mesosaurus Meanwhile, on the coast, some reptiles have decided to go back to the sea because tiny fish and crustaceans taste really good

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 09: Cotylorhynchus Large herbivores were kind of a novelty at this point so this guy has some of the funniest proportions I've ever seen on an animal. Absolute unit

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 08: Seymouria An amphibian that looked like a big lizard. For the longest time everyone thought it was a reptile - until fossilised tadpoles from a close relative were found that suggested it had a larval stage. Guess you could just do anything back then

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 07: Platyhystrix Even small amphibians seemed to think sails were pretty cool.

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 06: Xenacanthus A freshwater shark. What was the spine for? We're not entirely sure - maybe it was venomous?

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 05: Cacops Imagine being called "ugly-looking" because your fossils are badly preserved... I'm sorry Cacops I'm sure you were a wonderful little creature

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 04: Edaphosaurus Another classic Permian animal with spectacularly elongated neural spines! Truely, this is the age of sail.

I skipped high school to buy tickets for The Phantom Menace. The following day my Dad asked ," how was school?" I replied, " It was fine " He then threw this newspaper at me and asked , " how the fuck would you know?" He was so pleased with himself that I didn't actually get in trouble.

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 03: Eryops Do you love water but can't swim very well? Then you will probably find Eryops a very relatable kind of amphibian

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 02: Diplocaulus With its boomerang head, it’s pretty iconic. We’re not sure how its skin covered that strange head, but since salamanders aren’t exactly the brightest, I like the reconstructions that avoid sharp corners that would get caught on roots lol

Artober 2026 but it's the Permian period - 01: Dimetrodon Because I don't have the budget for a cool documentary on one of my fave prehistoric periods but I do have watercolors
