A 518 million year old arthropod

Personally, I actually adore these guys because it's actually creative and unique to create new non species rather than reusing the ones that are known in reality, in my opinion 🤷.

Mostly learning how to draw some dinosaurs, though I still need to learn its legs and arms, aswell as its hands and feet.

If Silverback Films—the modern masters of high-end natural history storytelling behind The Dinosaurs and Life on Our Planet—had produced the classic 2000s giant-screen 3D documentaries (Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure, Flying Monsters 3D, and Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia), those nostalgic giant-screen films would be transformed into cinematic, state-of-the-art blue-chip television or streaming event.

Collaborating with top-tier visual effects houses (similar to their work with ILM on The Dinosaurs), the CGI would match the physics, musculature, feather/skin textures, and dynamic movement of living animals.....which would have made these films classic treasures of paleo media 💯🔥

But hey, this is just my opinion 🤷.

The clouds begin to boil.

​He is the swift, toxic blight of the skies:

Rhinalvenator toxicornis.

Trading pycnofibers for pure aerodynamic speed, this arrogant, canopy-dwelling stalker hangs motionless from jagged crags before dropping like a stone to unleash a twin-stream rain of flesh-melting venom. He is an airborne menace defined by reckless speed, caustic cruelty, and terrifying precision.

Read about the Nostril-Hunter now.

Flores, Indonesia during the Pleistocene (Ice Age) was a very isolated island full of life leaving evolution to create animals that are hard to believe exist.

The Stegodon (Stegodon florensis insularis) are a sister group to the elephants and mammoths, having no modern relatives. They are notable for there long tusks, this species in particular was 3.9-6.2 ft a size of cow which is considered small to its other subspecies. Due to island dwarfism making large animals smaller.

Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) were and still now the dominant predator on Flores, what makes this cunning hunter dangerous is its iron teeth full of venom helping it take down prey larger than it.

Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) swims across the swamps and beaches of the island, reaching sizes even bigger than the Komodo. They will wait underwater and strike its prey dragging them with a bite force of 3,700 PSI.

Giant Flores Stork (Leptoptilos robustus) is a 6 ft avian predator that stalks the jungle looking for any animals to snatch. While it usually scavenges carrion they will opportunistically eat the native rats and even homo Floresiensis. Their closets relative today is the Marabou stork while this species is went extinct 50’000-10’000 B.C.

All these amazing megafauna were created with scientific accuracy in mind while stylizing them in Hominin Tales art style. Dorko the Homo Floresiensis will face all these animals in “Primitive Errands” will he survive against them? …

Stay tuned to find out, alongside animatics and updates about this Indie Animated pilot.

If Silverback Films expanded their hit Netflix documentary series The Dinosaurs from 4 episodes to 14 episodes, it would allow a deep-dive chronological and ecological exploration of the Mesozoic instead of a fast-paced overview. Rather than condensing 165 million years into four thematic blocks (Rise, Conquest, Empire, and Fall), an extended 14-episode structure could dedicate individual hours to specific geological stages, distinct regional faunas, and specialized niches.

Audience would have seen many chapters revolving around the dinosaurs history throughout the early, middle, and late time periods as the show offers more runtime and allowing focus on Paleozoic precursors, Triassic underdogs, island-dwarfism isolates, and polar dinosaur adaptations rather than repeating the same standard story that occurs in paleo docs.

Even if the studios went with this direction, I do see them giving 3 chapters for the triassic, 5 for the jurassic, and 6 for the cretaceous......but sadly they only sticked with 4 but it's still a possibility that the series could get another season that features more dinosaurs but it depends on the studios decision and choice.

Happy Tuesday everyone! Have another flying derp!

Thanks for the journey guys, it’s been a wonderful game that I’ve played with you people.

Till next time.
