Good news! I have less than seven more chapters to go on the sequel to The Kaligen Experiment. As such, early plans for this book’s illustrations are being made. Like the previous book, these illustrations will have a feel that is similar to paleoart you find in science books. I will keep you updated on any and all new developments. Wish me luck!
Here is more unused concept art for Jurassic World regarding the Mosasaurus Lagoon. It provides yet another example of what underwater tunnels would look like if they housed prehistoric sea monsters. Only one thing scarier than looking at a giant marine reptile through a few inches of acrylic is watching said creature while it is eating.
I have awesome news! It looks like a new species of theropod dinosaur was recently discovered. It is a relative of Carcharodontosaurus and is as big as Tyrannosaurus Rex. The creature is called Meraxes Gigas, named after Meraxes, the dragon of Queen Rhaenys Targaryen from A Song of Ice and Fire. I love that paleontologists have used Game of Thrones as inspiration for naming this dinosaur especially if it was as ferocious as a dragon.
I have finished the epilogue for the second volume of The Kaligen Experiment. It is going to be scary and unexpected. It will also foreshadow the biological calamity that is to come later in the series. I will need to reread some of the chapters to reacquaint myself with the story before I can move on. I will keep you updated on all developments.
Before I continue the main story of the second volume of The Kaligen Experiment, I have skipped to the epilogue. The reason for this is because it is going to be a juicy foreshadowing of what is to come in future volumes. You think it’s over simply because you are off Kaligen Island? It’s not over. The games have just begun.
In the latest trailer for the fifth season of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, we got a hint that the Barbasol can that Dennis Nedry used to smuggle embryos out of Jurassic Park has returned. I wonder how this will affect the franchise as a whole. Once Nedry took the embryos out of cryostorage, they only had 36 hours before they were useless to Biosyn. With this in mind, this may be a flashback of someone salvaging the can immediately after the events of Jurassic Park in 1993. Since Mantah Corp are the antagonists of Camp Cretaceous, I wonder if they were the ones who salvaged the can and used the DNA to create some of the dinosaurs on their private island. I hope we get answers when the new season comes out.
I am beyond thrilled for when Prehistoric Planet begins streaming. Not only will it satisfy my dinosaur fanaticism, but it will serve as a possible source of inspiration for future volumes of The Kaligen Experiment. Documentaries about dinosaurs and prehistory have served me well in terms of inspiration.
I am pleased to report that my writing schedule has opened up. Now, I can turn my attention to the next volume of The Kaligen Experiment. I am excited because a lot had happened where I left off. I will keep you updated on new developments.
Here is a sneak peek for the upcoming dinosaur documentary series, Prehistoric Planet. It features a young T. Rex hunting sea turtles and sporting feathers.
