i like how his sail is reflected in the water. nice touch. brings out the sail.

I kinda wish that I had serious skills because if I did... I'd put a bitchen stratocaster in his front claws and the dude on the rocks behind him would have a drum set perched sorta scattered onto the rocks in front of him

e: and despite the instruments, they're singing that 'blinded by the lights' song by "The Weekend" for some reason. idk why, but they are rockin that real hard in my mind

Yeah Dimetrodon's pretty cool, but for those of you expressing concerns about it being too angry might I introduce you to the chill synapsid Cotylorhynchus?



please tell me that's all gas inside that

I mean not for my sake or whatever I mean as a joke, like as a joke for other dinosaurs or whatever the gently caress it is please I just want to know if it rips fat rear end

based on that drawing I imagine Toby has a metabolism of a rock. because with a mouth that small compared to that body mass, otherwise he'd have to be eating like a wood chipper if he was an active feller, wouldn't he?

the head and neck arrangement reminds me of some of those giant tortoises



just the size of the head compared to the body and legs, and how there's that big area under the neck
but the Cotylorhynchus has an even shorter neck and also no shell obviously

oh I didn't see the resemblance before you pointed this out thank you

You ever think dimetrodon just really wailed out on a blues saxophone or rhythm guitar? I mean just really beat that pussy up w/it?

Dimetrodons were actually known to play both to some of the more obscure mostly acoustic Dire Straights tracks I'm sorry you weren't aware of that

I was an adult before I learned about those things, and that stunned me given the fact you mentioned.
If it was on land, for millions of years, it was that thing. Period. On the entire planet. And no one ever mentions them even in passing in pop archeology stuff you learn growing up

I can't be the only one who, looking at a stegosaurus, thought, "That entire thing tastes like pork-chops.", right?

Not to detract from Dimetrodon, but this reminded me of a creature whom I cannot recall now.

It, at one point, was 9/10 land dwelling animals on the entire surface of the earth and was like the most innocuous thing and just littered the entire planet due to its general efficiency.
Like if you crawled from the ocean or landed from a UFO, these things were all you were getting. And I CANNOT remember the name of the drat things.

After learning about them and facts like that I kinda thought it was weird they don't teach that since that's a pretty impressive stat

Lystrosaurus I think

THAT'S the one, baby!

Lystrosaurus survived the Permian-Triassic extinction, 252 million years ago. In the Early Triassic, they were by far the most common terrestrial vertebrates, accounting for as many as 95% of the total individuals in some fossil beds

Just look at this bastard.





Wow!!

The entirety of earth's landmass covered by these?!
For 30 million years! Hot DOG

for a while, 95% of land vertebrates were Lystrosaurus.
