# About me
I am a nerdy college guy with an extreme passion for animals of all kinds, especially extinct ones, and a talent and appreciation for art.What you can expect to see from me:Dinosaurs and paleoart, wildlife art, biblical pieces, speculative evolution works, and perhaps fan-art.
If you love animals(dinosaurs included), have a kind, accepting heart, aren't afraid to be creative or weird, and aren't a douche, lets be friends!
The only real reason I am good at art is because I love animals and have always loved animals.
God and Christianity are important to me, yet I accept the theory of evolution as fact. It's not that hard, people!
I believe that all living things are connected, both spiritually and physically through evolution, and that my way I can please God is to help animals.
My all-time dream is to create my own exotic animal sanctuary so that I can save abused, abandoned and neglected exotic animals and give them natural homes that thy deserve.
Two things make me incredibly angry, abuse and neglect towards animals(especially animals in the exotic pet trade like keeping tigers and lions as pets!) and creationists blatant disregard of paleontological, geological, genetic, and archaeological evidence against their literal interpretation of the book of Genesis.
Any girls out there that wanna draw dinosaurs and rescue tigers with me?
If you don't wanna read the description these stamps sum me up pretty well!(NOT MINE, I JUST USED THEM!)

Is there a way to follow your work outside of DA? I'll be leaving this website soon but not without following my personal favorite artists elsewhere. Do you have a blog or another social media outlet I could follow?

I'm a bit curious about what some of your creatures in the Lost World Reborn are based off of, as I have read the book and watched the original silent film, the film with the lizards wearing prosphetics and the BBC remake and do not recall anything that looked like some of them from there

MickeyRayRex In reply to DinoDragoZilla17 [2018-01-19 18:27:28 +0000 UTC]
There are other sources that some of the animals come from including a book called Dinosaur Summer by Greg Bear set after The Lost World. Other animals were simply original creations made to add more diversity to the fauna of the lost world.

Oh! Cool! I assume that Pongodactylus, the Proboscidisaurus, the Kastorosaurus and the Gohanosaurus are some of your own creations. Where did you get the inspiration for them? As in what gave you the ideas for their designs?Β

MickeyRayRex In reply to DinoDragoZilla17 [2018-01-20 06:31:15 +0000 UTC]
Yeah i dunno there just stuff i came up with. The Gohanosaurus came from Dragon Ball Z (hence the name) and a fellow deviant gave me the idea for the Kastorosaurus
