Surviving Dinosaurs: Abelisauridae

Here's another entry I contributed to that no K-Pg extinction project that ended up  never coming out, ah the continuous allure of the dinosaurs and their survival for speculative evolution...

Earfrogfish

Troll_Man post Earfrogfish from patreon

An idea for a species of tree-dwelling tribtile that had giant ear-operculum things that it could use for gliding with that I sketched up in March of 2020. Sheather liked the idea and I'm pretty sure he drew it out, but for whatever reason it never ended up coming out.

Well, who knows, perhaps the idea will eventually s...

Dragon Attack

Troll_Man post Dragon Attack from patreon

Someone commissioned this scene a few days ago, so you'll get to see this getting done for the next week. Big win for people who wanted to see the river dragon in action and/or were interesting in seeing more skulossi. 

Also, there is a red devil relative in the back because they commissioned the red devil and sugg...

R'lyeh: Striders

Troll_Man post R'lyeh: Striders from patreon

One of the most morphologically aberrant xenotherian groups, they are immediately recognizable at even a glance. Their unique shape of an extremely tall and upright upper body standing atop four digitigrade legs is utterly unlike any other animal group, although it does at times make them uncannily human in silhouette. These ...

Storming the Gate

Troll_Man post Storming the Gate from patreon

This was the first version of the illustration of the Monarch ship arriving at Skull Island. However I didn't like this version because (a) the perspective looked a bit wonky, (b) the scale just didn't seem big enough, and (c) it seemed too mundane.

I ended up scrapping it and redoing the whole thing, which is what is n...

Siberian/Horned Droc (Monocerasaurus robustus)

One of the largest of the drocs, reaching over three-hundred kilograms (660 lbs), the Siberian droc is one of northern Russiaโ€™s most feared carnivores. Pairs of the large carnivorous ornithischians stalk the cold taiga forests in search of prey; ...

Skulossus (WIP)

Troll_Man post Skulossus (WIP) from patreon

This was the initial drawing the skulossi, done back in June of 2022. You might notice that means it was drawn well before the first cygnosaurs. And that's because it was originally a visualization of the "giant sauropod-like skuorc" idea Sheather had. 

He liked the concept drawn out, but it was different from what...

Thorngator

Troll_Man post Thorngator from patreon

This started as a joke, but I ended up drawing it out anyway (back in May, 2022). The proliferation of crocodile ideas for hothouse animals led to the creation of this atrocity... probably non-canon though...

Serina: Imperious River Dragon

Troll_Man post Serina: Imperious River Dragon from patreon

With the end of the ice age, the warm climate has had a massive cascading effect on all life on Serina. With the constant precipitation and waterways that riddle the continents, plant life flourishes like never before. With the plant life flourishing, the herbivores that feed upon it grow to immense proportions and numbers. W...

Serina: Sea Mittens (Concept Art)

Troll_Man post Serina: Sea Mittens (Concept Art) from patreon

Some of the initial sketches for the wormy mitten and its descendants drawn back in March of 2020 (the second image drawn in May). The initial idea was for them to be aquatic boras specifically (hence why the wormy mitten had only two muscular tentacles and the other four tentacles were reduced), but Sheather told me to chang...

Antleagle

Troll_Man post Antleagle from patreon

My uncle works at Serina and he told me today that this is the direction that hothouse circuagodonts are headed in. This will dominate the skies by 300 MYH and outcompete both birds, tribbats, and even insects.

Trust me, I have the exclusive insider knowledge.

FOM: Rodan, Hedorah, Rodan vs. Hedorah

Troll_Man post FOM: Rodan, Hedorah, Rodan vs. Hedorah from patreon

Really old artwork for the designs of Rodan and Hedorah, made in... I think it was early 2018. Back then, the design aesthetic for FOM was more Shin Godzilla inspired, with more kaiju that were grotesque mutations, but it became less so later on with later designs. As you can also see, the idea of Rodan fighting Hedo...

Serina: Bogthumper

Troll_Man post Serina: Bogthumper from patreon

An early drawing of the bogthumper, then called the grumplump before I confused the two names. This was also before the lumps were established to have an upper and lower pair of flanges, so the face looks a little different from the later lumps.

A few minor differences are the lack of the horns above the eyes (given to ...

Trirachodon

Another very old illustration I did for my Cynognathus Assemblage Zone story. I coloured things with much lighter hues back then, wonder what happened with that? 

Anyway, this is a really interesting animal, it was a non-mammalian cynodont that was a social burrowing animal that was known to have lived in ...

Coloured sketch of Hedorah; this was one of the first kaiju designed for the project, before the project even had a name yet. The earliest design points were that it had to have more than two eyes and that it would be more fungus-based rather than simply indiscriminate muck.

The final design discarded the ringed frill a...

R'lyeh: Sabrebeast (and prey)

Troll_Man post R'lyeh: Sabrebeast (and prey) from patreon

Old coloured sketch of a sabrebeast having caught and killed a stingbeast. Some minor anatomical oddities present, the sabrebeast doesn't have the four claws on its feet, and the stingbeast's appendages are jointed rather than curved as I remade them, but otherwise it's still good.
