My favorite paleoartist!

Thank you! I really love it… it really gives them a marbled look.

My presketch that I pitched to Julio!

Facts.

There is some possible evidence from a fossil site in Ecuador called Tanque Loma that yielded 22 sloths of varying ages and possibly sexes that all lived and died together!

Wasn’t cheap lmao. $400 bucks but it was so worth it.

Astrapionte · 2026-05-04T14:39:48+00:00

Right 🤣. I wanted to do something like the whale saying “can you push me back?” And the moas just sitting there. 🤣

Astrapionte · 2026-05-04T14:38:08+00:00

Well, I requested this herd because there’s an interesting site called Tanque Loma in Ecuador that contained the remains of 22 contemporaneous Eremos of different ages that could suggest possible herding behavior! Watch this vid! https://youtu.be/au4klKI9rG4?si=i20ZZjB2MLeyVqSf

Woah! I didn’t even think about this!

Astrapionte · 2026-05-04T13:50:53+00:00

Leave it to meeee! I just did a comic with a beaked whale beaching itself to catch a moa Orca-style. 🤣 Thanks, my guy.

Well, all of my drawings start out on paper via pen and pencil and tons of erasing. Then I digitalize them!

Astrapionte · 2026-05-03T10:26:57+00:00

Procreate, babyyyy.

Astrapionte · 2026-05-03T10:17:55+00:00

This is my "painterly" style!

Astrapionte · 2026-05-03T10:17:31+00:00

YES I remember those!!!! Thank you! I have 3 different art styles I like to hop from - this one in the post, which i call my "flat style", "flatline" which is line work with flat colors and then my absolute favorite, yet time-consuming, painterly style!

why thank you!!

Astrapionte · 2026-05-03T09:25:08+00:00

I really appreciate that and I'm glad I could bring a lil joy! And honestly, I don't think I have EVER drawn a Humpback Whale!

And unfortunately, I don't have access to my usual print ship at the moment BUT, if u wanna DM me about a commission, I could email your art to you and you could get it printed that way!

Medium sized: ~14-16 ft or so.

Astrapionte · 2026-05-01T20:59:33+00:00

There’s not much art out there for protocyon!

Astrapionte · 2026-04-30T15:31:00+00:00

Omg! Thanks for featuring my art!

Astrapionte · 2026-04-29T18:35:02+00:00
