cryptovolans:

so I did my scientific illustration final on whale evolution. This painting’s 3 feet long!I did my best to illustrate every species as accurately as possible to the best of my ability. The sizes are vaguely correct but if they were actually to scale, the smaller species would be even smaller and the larger species would be even larger (basilosaurus is slightly bigger than a blue whale… and pakicetus is the size of a medium sized dog) YEAH evolution! 

Kinda love this. Can we start a bidding war?
