“Getting to the market first thing in the morning is the best way to ensure the freshest ingredients and that you find what you’re looking for. So it’s usually a job well suited to the early risers in the family.” #pachycephalosaurus #dracorex #paleoart #dinosaur #bakery
“A big treat and a polite ‘thank you’ can pretty much guarantee a priority delivery, even for a simple letter.” #paleoart #azhdarchid #pterosaur #dinosaur
Some of the commissions from the last few months that I've been working on
Just some #godzilla fanart to go along with with the new -0 trailer
“Sometimes customers will find you, and often in the most unexpected places. So try to keep a decent stock of items on you just in case.” #dinosaur #paleoart #ankylosaur #procreate #illustration
“When water travel is involved, spinosaurids make an excellent choice for traveling companions as their large size easily deters both land and aquatic predators.” #spinosaurus #dinosaur #paleoart
“Freshly made jam is a popular treat for all species and making large batches goes significantly faster when you have large friends to help.” #amargasaurus #dinosaur #paleoart
“Keeping track of so many hatchlings can be exhausting for new parents, and so while many people do enlist the help of saurians as babysitters it’s more often the other way around.” #parasaurolophus #dinosaur #paleoart
#paleoart #deinonychus #dinosaur “Any experienced merchant will tell you that a good map is priceless treasure, and making those maps is a vital job for a society built on trade. Pterosaur aerial surveys help to sketch in the broad strokes for cartographers...
“Having to set up camp for the night in the wilderness always comes with the risk of attracting the attention of wild carnivores. Well, most of the time anyway…” #giganotosaurus #dinosaur #paleoart
“As the sun begins to set, it’s usually a good idea to have already decided where you plan to set up camp for the evening. Making a fire gets a lot harder once the sun has gone down. Thankfully having large travel companions ensures you’ll at least have someone warm to curl up next to at night.”
I'm a little late, but I'm jumping on the #nanotyrannus bandwagon because #tyrannosaurs are awesome! So cool that these dinos definitely valid, and with such amazing specimens and science to boot! #dinosaur #paleoart #trex
“Dragging a ladder through long rows of bookshelves can be exhausting. It’s much more efficient to have a co-worker who’s able to reach the top shelves on their own or at least give you a boost climbing up.” #miragaia #stegosaur #dinosaur #paleoart #library #librarian #books
“Kronosaurus, even in miniature form, are highly territorial and should not be kept with other members of their own kind due to the risk of fighting and injury. As long as they are well fed, Kronosaurus can be kept with other species if the tank is sufficiently large and...
“We HIGHLY recommend keeping Miniature Dunkleosteus in their own tank, or with larger animals. These miniature carnivores will almost always attempt to eat any tankmates that are smaller than themselves." #dunkleosteus #paleoart #illustration #noai
Little dragons make excellent guards for little banks. It can be rather difficult to try and make a withdrawal though… #dragon #fantasy #procreate #illustration #wyrmling
Miniature Ichthyosaurs are a species that do best in small groups, and should not be kept individually for any extended period of time. This is a fast swimming species, and a pair of animals requires at least a 40 gallon (150 liter) tank. It is important to ensure your home aquarium ...
“Games of friendly competition are commonly held during most major festivals, and rivalries often develop between neighboring villages. The biggest issue is usually figuring out how to divide up the teams fairly though...”
"Like their larger ancestors, many species of miniature plesiosaur will sift through the sand of their aquarium in search of small food particles and fine grit for ballast. Because of this, their tanks should be equipped with strong filters to help maintain the water quality...
“One of the smaller mosasaur species available, Globidens do well in tanks with their own kind, or with other mollusk/fish eating marine reptiles. We do not advise keeping them in setups with other, larger mosasaur species."
“Accurate inventory is a vital part of any successful venture. Making a long dangerous trip only to realize you’ve forgotten half your stock back home does no one any good. As most saurians don’t have a strong grasp of larger numbers, people prove themselves useful at this task.” #paleoart #dinosaur
“Successful pollination is a key factor in the production of many fruits and vegetables. During key times of the year, walking gardens will travel between farms bringing swarms of pollinators along with them to help ensure another successful harvest.” #paleoart #dinosaur #brachiosaurus #illustration
