Splendiferous Brawler (WIP 2)

So, a while back I had a short-lived project idea about an examination of life on Mars had conditions been slightly more favourable for macroscopic, multicellular life. While I liked the idea, I eventually lost passion for it because it started getting too complicated for something that was supposed to be short. I'm not sure ...

Some sketch I did back in September of 2017 of some unidentified circuagodont being hunted by spear-wielding bludgebirds. I don't remember the specific backstory behind the illustration anymore unfortunately.
In any case, this is one of the first Serina-related things I ever drew, back when it was still the Pangeacene. ...

work-in-progress for a brawler species where the males are highly colourful and the young are ratite-like in appearance (young not drawn yet)

To reiterate, this was a commission sponsor for a sky island-dwelling gup.
A new biome which has appeared in the last few million years are the massive colonial spire trees, which fuse together to form artificial mountains that can tower over a mile high and stretch for hundreds of miles; these are some of the largest s...

Skygup (WIP)
Sponsored commission for a gup that lives on sky islands (descended from the tree gup, if that isn't already obvious).

The initial drawing of Gaw that I gave up on because I thought it was a really awkward-looking pose and didn't look fearsome enough. Also it was a terrible angle to show off the third vestigial arm I wanted to give her. So I gave up on it part way through and started over with the new version.

To reiterate, this was a commission for the Folly of Man incarnation of Gaw (the entry is canon, although the entity designation isn't).

Another very old illustration I did for my Cynognathus Assemblage Zone story. In hindsight I didn't really like the colouration here, the spot distribution didn't look very natural to me, so I totally redid it later.
This would've been the largest herbivore of the region and in fact of the earliest herbiv...

Gaw (WIP)
In-progress commission for the Folly of Man incarnation of Gaw, Twin Empresses of the Deathrunners, former Queen of Faro.
There was an earlier version, but I didn't really like the posture of it so I started again with this one.

As the hothouse era has progressed, the seas have gradually become filled with all manner of life once more; trickling down from the coasts, creatures like whelicans, sea horses, brutes, and whiskerwhales have evolved over millions of years and now join pretenguins, sea dragons, dolfinches, and shimmershiners among the denize...

One of the most feared predators of the Skull Isle to the native Iwi is not the one which is the biggest, nor the most numerous, but one that seems to slaughter them most meticulously and with greatest malice, with clear intellect behind its ferocity. Cloaked in dark banded feathers, they lurk in the tangled jungle undergrowt...

Concept art made for a commission for a Folly of Man kaiju (this isn't the kaiju if you're wondering... technically).

I'll use this WIP to state that if you want to commission a Serina species concept, I'm allowed to make species for any pre-existing group that has featured hothouse representatives. Currently, this excludes osteopulmas, shoggoths, stingwings, and mollyminnows, and any other evolved invertebrate group that's been mentioned bu...

Throughout Oceania and South America live a variety of strange unique ornithischians unrelated to hadrosaurs or thescelosaurs, having evolved isolated since the Late Cretaceous. Unlike the bulky, four-legged, broad or parrot-beaked animals of the north, they retained a relatively generalized form, although modern species have...

To reiterate, this is a sponsored concept for a post-hothouse vultrorc resembling the carnivorous pachycephalosaurs I designed for Surviving Dinosaurs.
As the habitable era on Serina gradually comes to an end, the climate begins to cool once more, and the good times have finally come to end. The endless swamps, jungles,...

Imphound (WIP)
Sponsored concept for a post-hothouse devil that resembles the aldraks (from that no k-pg event project concept art). A fast-running predator that is smaller and more cursorial than hothouse devil; its bite is less powerful to save on weight, so it compensates with tusk-like beak protrusions to inflict savage bite wounds. Bot...

(To reiterate, this was a sponsored concept for a wading giraffowl)
One of several varieties of giraffowls native to the far-flung Trang Island, this is a close relative of the forest-dwelling kokopi, having descended from a common ancestor that became isolated on the landmass several million years ago....

Drakedeer (WIP)
Sponsored concept for a wading giraffowl. This lives on Trang Island and is closely related to the kokopi, but prefers wetland and coastal habitats. Both male (front) and female (back) depicted.

Serina: Monarch Skulossus
As forests began developing upon the continent of Serinarcta, this allowed vagrant skogres from the offshore islands to finally form longterm populations on the mainland. With a now far greater supply of food, they quickly grew to far greater sizes than had existed prior, and this has now culminated in one of the true titans ...
