This is a follow-up to a post I made here on July 3rd, with pictures, stating that this bowling alley/arcade/restaurant was infested with mice and more. About 26 days after I made that post, I got fired. They found the post, and my Reddit had my name attached, so they fired me for "defaming the company," which sucks, but I knew that was possible when I made the post. Just wanted to make a follow-up to say: the health department came and deemed the place safe, which it is NOT. The mice are still INFESTING the building. Customers are even seeing them now. You can see it in their Google Reviews. The first photo is baby mice in the children's plush prize cardboard boxes. Second is them months ago in the lost & found drawer. Rats in kitchen too! Absolutely disgusting. I don't know how this place got away with it, but the health department did NOT look hard enough. Do NOT eat here, and if you care enough, please call the Cabarrus Health Alliance and make a complaint!

I know some people who work/ed at this location; I've been in it myself. They have a mouse, roach, and rat infestation. I have pictures to prove it! I've called the Cabarrus Health Department, and so have two others I know. Customers have complained about mouse droppings in games and mice running freely in the arcade, kitchen, and bowling lanes. Mice are living in the lost and found drawer. There is contaminated candy in the prize area; mice often chew into the product, and it is still put out instead of thrown away. Please call and report this place; it's a genuine safety hazard to so many children!!!

Archelon, Dimetrodon, and Ichthyosaur. ​ Im not the most talented with details and kinda just vibe my way around shapes/colors. Any tips would be appreciated!

"For Now, We Swim Side by Side"

Finished 5/27/26.

This is my first piece with more than one subject. The primary focus is Ichthyosaur, with some ammonites swimming together nearby.

The ammonites dash away instinctively, but the Ichthyosaur doesn't react. Not yet!

By me, finished 5/26/26.

Linework on the pterosaur could be a little tighter, but Im happy with the feel of this one overall. It looks best if you squint your eyes. And dont zoom in too much, lol. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

By me finished today, 5/26.

I exported, noticed stuff and made changes, and re-exported this like 15 times before getting here so hope someone likes it. Comms open affordable prices cuz I'm no pro

Hi everyone! Just found this sub. I've been making art for a while but just recently decided to start posting online. I'm doing paleoart. Depictions of extinct animals in my art style. I was posting for fun, but then someone DM'd me saying they wanted to buy a commission, and I did it and got paid. It was a good feeling, so I just wanted to throw this out if anyone has a passion for paleontology or dinosaurs, etc. Like I said, I've only had one sale, so my prices aren't concrete, but I was planning on $15 for a profile shot (the ones pictured), $30 for a full body (I haven't posted that yet it's a WIP), and $40 for a dynamic piece with 3+ animals/a background, etc.

Contact me on Instagram @bryantdoespaleo if interested!

This is my rendition of Enhydriodon, a genus of GIANT otters that weighed over 400 lbs! These bad they/thems were waltzing around during the Late Miocene to Early Pleistocene, about 10-2 mya. These are so cool!

I'm only a week in but this is my first commission! They wanted an otter so I figured prehistoric otter was the way to go! I had a lot of fun drawing this one (only took about 3 hours) and I made $15!

Any tips on proportions and realism would be greatly appreciated!!

by me, yesterday!

Any tips for a new paleo artist?

This is my first time trying paleo art! I usually do landscapes/mood pieces, not characters or animals, but I want to get good at drawing extinct creatures in my own style. I want to avoid it in the future, but I traced what I thought would be the correct anatomy and my imagination over the skeleton image.

Compared to everything else I'm seeing here, it might not be much, no photorealism or anything, but I just wanted to share the beginning of my journey! I'm also learning Blender, started last week, and want to start modeling dinosaurs etc. when I get good at it! Any critiques are welcome! The 2nd pic is the skeleton from google for comparison.
