Another one done really well. I hope to do something this good in watercolours, so far I have only done apples and pears, lol!

Exactly! I'm going to study about this ice age in "Geochronology" course. Too bad I have to wait 2 years.
"Snowball Earth" theory really captured my imagination a couple of months ago when I heard about it for first time.
I knew that the scientists have studied paleoclimate and paleocontinents but the information I've read lately just make my imagination to explode.
This planet was really an extraordinary place even before the dinosaurs!

Yes, it was really weird reading about the supercontinents before Pangea, I really had no idea at all about that!

Thank you very much!

I'm planing to draw more prehistoric landscapes/scenes like this one and "The Hadean".
