My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

It's a fossil, but not as we know it.

Painted up a few more but am unsure which box I put them in…. #doctorwho #drwho #drwhoclassic #koquillion #Ambassadorsofdeatg #kingjohn #thecowboys #silurian #silurians #nero #frankenstein #movellans #Cybermen #Rastan #rastanwarriorrobot #lizshaw #countgrendel

the idea that there may have been other civilizations on earth that died out is pretty cool

it's quite unlikely, but it's cool to think about
