It’s been a little while since I’ve posted a new ink, and it’s about time I did. Life gets in the way of art sometimes, but art is still something I need to be building consistently.
In this case, I wanted to try another fossil as the base idea for an ink. I have lots of reference images from visits to various museums, and I decided this would be a good time to put one of those into play.
This ink is of Dinictis squalidens, a type of saber-toothed cat. It’s not a Smilidon, the typical saber-toothed tiger that most are familiar with, but a separate species. The saber-like teeth evolved separately from the other species, but I’ll let you go look all that up (I’m not a scientist, like Batman).
The ink itself is 5″ x 7″, ink on 140 lb. Cold Press stock. Click on the image below for a larger version, and as always let me know what you think.
Here’s Dinictis squalidens:
