Minnesota End of the Ice Age Sometime around 10,000 years ago An ancestor of the loons we see today paddles through a newly-formed lake as the glacial ice sheet retreats, and the moldering remains of a grand old pachyderm, a Woolly Mammoth, sink into the earth. I made this digital painting with Krita and a Wacom tablet, running on Linux.
Paramylodon
Pliocene-Pleistocene Epochs, Cenozoic
I had the great opportunity to work on this image for the Mace Brown Museum of Natural History at the College of Charleston, SC, with guidance from paleontologist Dr. Scott Persons.
