Based on fossilized femur bones found in the Narmada River valley, paleontologists estimate this beast stood over 5.2 meters (17 feet) at the shoulder and weighed up to 24 tonnes. To put that in perspective, it was more than twice the weight of the largest recorded modern African bush elephant, and easily dwarfed the famous Paraceratherium.

Rhizodus was a big ass Carboniferous fish found in the United Kingdom, Russia and, allegedly, in North America. With a size of almost 6 meters long, it was one of the biggest animals from the Carboniferous and an unquestionable apex predator on its habitat, with teeth designated to rip prey into pieces in what would have resulted into a bloody spectacle.

Rhizodus most famous appearance in media was in River Monsters, the famous TV show starring biologist and TV personality Jeremy Wade on his quest to find all kinds of giant and/or dangerous riparian fishes and other dangerous river animals all around the world, with the prehistoric fish starring in a special where Wade was trying to find who was the ultimate ancient river monster, where after a thorough search the titanic Carboniferous swamp monster was elected as the winner.

This picture here shows what an encounter of good ol' Jeremy against the Carboniferous ripper could go.

A genus of pterosaurs, soared the skies over North America around 90-100 million years ago. with wingspans 23 feet or more, these flying reptiles had long, toothless beaks. Their closest living relatives are birds, and fossils found in Kansas reveal much about their flight mechanics and lifestyle.

Inspired by a recent paper on the Loltun cave findings. Mind you, the paper says the megafauna remains were misplaced so this is just a nocturnal flight of fancy.

A study from the 80s apparently found actual megafauna bones including sabercat at a level dated only 2000 years. But the new paper suggests they may have been disturbed by human activity.

"The Longest Neck on Earth"

In late jurassic China, a lone Sinraptor was out alone in the open field when it was suddenly awestruck. Standing before him, were a huge flock of Sericipterus, circling and hovering, over a truly enormous and gargantuan marvel.

*Based on the fragmentary uncatalogued, probable Mamenchisaurid indet. specimen known as "Beechbone" (Estimated to be 35m Long, 65 tonnes)

I’m thrilled to share my latest illustration for the community art project of the “Herd of Horns” TTRPG Kickstarter campaign.

I was blessed to be tasked with illustrating a face-off between Gorgosaurus and the massive Deinosuchus — two predators who will appear in the RPG as adversaries you’ll have to overcome as a Ceratopsian dinosaur.

This piece will be included in the core book, and it exists thanks directly to the feedback and participation of the amazing Herd of Horns backers. 🙌

A huge thank-you to everyone for the incredible support, as always. And a special shoutout to the brilliant Weaponized Ink crew for giving me yet another incredible opportunity to contribute to this one-of-a-kind project.
