I just argued for 10 minutes on Discord about whether the Edaphosaurus is a synapsid (correct) or a therapsid (incorrect).

It's a Linux server.

Granted, I started the poll for best dinosaur that included the Edaphosaurus as a joke vote, with clear indication that it's not a dinosaur, but still.

I think that xkcd comic may be right. Someone was wrong on the internet.

Either way, I like to think I won the argument

How did our mammalian #posture arise from our sprawling #synapsid ancestors? This study reveals #parasagittal postures in stem therians, implying that synapsids evolved & radiated with distinct forelimb trait combinations for most of their history @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4loAHoy

Living and fossil species with sprawling vs upright postures occupy different adaptive peaks. Image credit Magdalen Mercado.

This was actually the first of three cross-genre pictures, the lioness was second and the eagle was third. In the end I'll probably have to commissions someone who's better with humans...

A drawing of a woman on an oversized inflatable gorgonopsid on the beach. More mundane objects like a beachball and inner tube are also visible. It's executed in an anime-esque style.

Spent today recording footage of Spike the #inflatable #inostrancevia for eventual posting. He’ll be at #GOTF in February.

A photograph from a low angle of a multicolored inflatable Inostrancevia in a living room.

Spike the #inflatable #gorgonops is finally here. He’ll be at Get Out The Float in February, and I’m hoping to make a smaller version available as a public run sometime next year.

A front view of the big, blocky muzzle of a large grey inflatable gorgonops toy with a mohawk and gradient stripes. Saber teeth before the Pleistocene cats made them cool.

A side view of the big, blocky muzzle of a large grey inflatable gorgonops toy with a mohawk and sunrise gradient stripes.

A rear view of the big, blocky muzzle of a large grey inflatable gorgonops toy with a mohawk and sunrise gradient stripes. He looks like a bit of a wide load with the big haunches. The end portion of the tail is pinch-seamed.

An oversized #inflatable #gorgonops is a perfectly appropriate beach #toy, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Puffy Permian protommamals are way more fun than some boring sphere or toroid.

More #anime type experimentation.

A pencil sketch of a woman in a swimsuit perched atop a larger-than-life striped sabertoothed synapsid on a beach. No, not the kind with a nub tail that goes meow. It’s a gorgonopsid, from the Permian era. There’s also a ring and a beach ball.

Let’s goooooo!

(Now I can live in a dream world where the Monsters sequels are commissioned and are stretched out and why not 8 weeks of Walking With Synapids and Pseudosuchids and screw it I’ll even do Waving About With Rangeomorphs.

Bullbuster, but on the Lake Erie Islands, and some engineering contractor from Cleveland fell into West Quarry on Kelly's Island.

"When life gives you [CENSORED], make [CENSORED]-ade."

I'm pretty sure the one ASDF executive would be quite happy to play fuck-fuck games with the Lake Erie Islands and leave another mess to clean up.

An unusually large anthropomorphic gorgonopsid with patchy curly body hair stands next to the GD-5000 Bullbuster mecha. Transforming into a Giant Beast ruined the engineering contractor's figure, but that carpet is enviable.

Okay, but if I could just nerd out for a second, #synapsids and #therapsids are freaking cool and yet they don't get as much attention as the dinosaurs, and here's some introductory information on them: https://dinomuseum.ca/2020/02/a-brief-history-of-mammals-part-1-the-early-synapsids

Life reconstruction of the ancient mammal relative Thrinaxodon from the Triassic Period of Earth history. Similar in size and shape to a modern mink. By April Neander.

A recent series of volcanic eruptions causes the Sun to rise in astonishing colours over the vast Pangaean deserts. An #Inostrancevia family gets ready for the day, the cubs playing with everything in sight, from their mother to a very dismayed #Dvinia . A little way away, a #Vivaxosaurus browses a shrub for breakfast.

A watercolour painting depicting a scene in a rocky, red desert. Prominent in the foreground is a sitting Inostrancevia. It is a large carnivorous gorgonopsid with sabreteeth visibly poking out under its lips. It is depicted covered in light brown fur in a vaguely stripy camouflage pattern. It has a mane of darker brown fur around its neck and long, thick eyelashes like a camel's. While somewhat mammalian in appearance, its nose and ears are simple holes without exterior tissue. There are three cubs of the same species: one of them is perched on its parent's neck, its head laid on top of the parent's head. A second one is in a rock's shadows, snarling at its mother's tail. A third one is further to the right, curiously nearing a burrow at the foot of a large rock formation occupied by a Dvinia. The Dvinia is a cynodont a bit smaller than the Inostrancevia cubs, and it has curved its spine and tail like an angry cat. It is covered in brown fur, although its belly is white, and is hidden in the darkness of the burrow. Around the scene are large red rocks, including a sort of natural gate-like formation to the right. There are also short coniferous shrubs about. In the background, a Vivaxosaurus is standing on two legs, its front legs placed on a small tree on whose leaves it is nibbling. It is a grey brown, slightly rotund beast with a short tail and a hooked beak. Beyond it, the scene fades into distance rock formations and canyons below a purple-pink sky with wispy clouds.

Portrait of the small headed synapsid Cotylorhynchus chewing on plants

A first person view of petting a #dimetrodon like the big pupper it is.

This one popped into my head fully-formed when I saw a Dimetrodon skull at the Paris natural history museum. It looked so friendly and loveable, and in that moment I could easily imagine it laying its head in my lap to ask for pets.

I took time last night and early this morning to start working on this to take a break from current commissions
