Deviation Actions
Watchers which follow me longer will know that my dragons are close relatives of varanids and that I try to work out every deatail of their osteology, physiology and behavior. Because of this I created a special air sac system of the members of the Draconide. Unavailing how it seems now, because monitor lizards have allready a air sac system!
How you will learn at SV-POW reasearvchers found recently out how monitor lizards breath svpow.com/2013/12/11/unidirect…
It seems that I must change the design of my dragon lungs now because these varanid air sacs look so different, but I don't mind. This discovery just support my thesis that monitor lizards are primitive flightless dragons...
Tetzoocon 2022
In case you didn't know it yet I will be at Tetzoocon 2022, a convention organized by Darren Naish and John Conway in Central London. I will be part of a podium discussion about speculative evolution, take part on discussions about paleoart and will sign a bunch of copies of Mesozoic Art, a book that will be published soon! (but I sign everything you throw at me, even napkins and random pieces of paper, usually with little doodles) In case you want to join us you can sign up here: https://tetzoo.com/convention
Prehistoric Planet!
I now watched the first two epsiodes of Prehisotric Planet, the new documentary series set in the late Cretaceous, available on Apple TV+. Well, what can I say: IT'S FANTASTIC, all negative critique I can give it are minuscule pacing issues in like 3 instances and of course that some segments need to be longer because they are way too cool. ;) Very important: Please don't pirate the series! This is our chance to get more such content in the future if we can show the world that such a format has potential to be successful! You can get a free trial of AppleTV in many countries or by using a VPN! The trial lasts 7 days, so enough time to see the whole thing. People with newer Apple products should also have complete access to the show.
Lost World Spec Challenge
#Spectember is upon us! And so the next Spec Challenge arrives! Last time we explored Skull Island, now we follow the tracks of Prof. Challenger into The Lost World. The lost world, in the book knows as Maple-White Land is a large, isolated plateau, a tepui. It is suited near the three nation triangle of Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana and yes, it is home to some remarkable flora and fauna. But hold your horses! Like with Skull island you will not find here the non-avian dinosaurs you seek, Challenger was a bloody adventurer, don't trust everything you read *! However even for tepui standards the Maple-White Land has a lot of strange and archaic creatures that you might mistake for some retro dinosaurs on first sight. In case you aren't familiar with tepuis I put together a bunch of papers and photos that will show you the wonders of the flora fauna and landscape. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/idynxub2d6fdbfb/AACQyE_ksdJE5yjPMTh3pDUma?dl=0 And I found this book online that you can complete

Varanids are primitive flightless dragons... I like that...
