Artist's Comments

TRUE STORY: I drew these OVER A YEAR AGO and completely forgot about them until I found them tonight while going through my computer! So I spruced it up and uploaded it because c'mon look at these things!

It should be no secret to anybody that I have a mad crush on ancient mammals and birds. Everybody gives all the love to dinosaurs but nobody seems to care about all the AMAZING animals that came afterwards (unless you're a saber tooth tiger or a wooly mammoth amirite?).

Glyptodons are big giant armadillo-like things!
Thylacosmilus is a saber-tooth tiger, except it's a marsupial and not related to cats at all in any way! Also look at that weird jaw thing!
Terror Birds are not mammals, obviously, but big giant terrifying birds that dominated South America during the Cenozoic.
Deinotherium is my favorite ancient elephant because look at it. Honestly.

So freakin cute! I love the terror bird the best, the feet are adorable.
I always thought Deinotherium was the neatest of prehistoric elephants too =D

I just love ancient creatures, the ones after the dinosaurs. It wasn't all just mammoths and sabre-tooth tigers!

the Thylacosmilus reminds me of Colin, and the terror bird reminds me of Jim.
