Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on an indie animated series called Hominin Tales. It’s an anthology focused on the lives of ancient human species, and I’ve just finished storyboarding the first

The core message of the show is:
“We are all human, no matter the species.”

Kind of similar to what Prehistoric Planet did for dinosaurs showing them as real animals instead of monsters but applied to other humans species, who are often portrayed as brutish or unintelligent.
One thing I’ve noticed (even without watching walking with cavemen fully) is that a lot of documentaries focus more on human evolution as a process, rather than the lived experiences of the humans themselves like their emotions, relationships, and daily struggles.

So here are my two questions:
What are common mistakes media makes when portraying early humans and also

What would you like to see done more accurately or differently?

Could these Murals from cityscape confirm the existence of these animals in the carnivores canon

Sorry for the poor quality but TIL, that these murals have some animals that never appeared in a carnivores game before. We see a large pterosaur maybe quetz perhaps and a styracosaurus dueling with some kind of tyrannosaur.

I like to imagine these of dinosaurs we’ve never seen in the game but are canon, IDK if dino hunt corp would just make random dinosaurs in-universe.

Honestly whenever I do cityscape for my reboot art series, I’ll love to draw these guys. Add some variety to the small roster.

“Sacrifice to the Sky Reaper” a clan of Ghouls, perform an ritual to appease their Azhdarchid God (OC)

“They bound my wrists with trembling hands, ropes biting deeper than their faith.”

I can feel it within them, these ghouls had no devotion but fear pretending to be holy.”

“Mother always told me to never leave, Listening to her would’ve had prevented this”
“But I see it now”

“Their god, a mere beasts worshipped by the savages
“A scream in the sky, Beak sharpen to indulge in its feasts”

“In my final breath, there is no god here only the hunger of a beasts, and the sadistic minds of the monsters followers.”

“The Mind adapted” a beautiful music animation about evolution on earth, made by Gutsick Gibbon

I’m not sure it would be considered paleoart per se, but I consider animation a art form so why not.

After some consideration I’m deciding to go back into making another entry to my Carnivores reboot art series. Next in-line is the Dino’s from the Tatem Games, again I’m only make these out of genuine passion and inspiration I don’t want to cause burn out or have nothing special to offer.

The first Dino here is Coelophysis the reason it has six eyes instead of four is it’s the most primitive/less evolved compared to the others. And even has a segmented body like an insect.
