Eons

Say hello to the main characters of the Permian: Lystrosaurus and gorgonopsians. When working on Life and Death on Pangea, gorgonopsids were a team favorite. We had a lot of fun playing with light in their portrayals and emphasizing the environment around them as well as the gorgonopsids themselves. Lystrosaurus is the star of episode 6, and we got to portray the genus in many different ways! ⁠
⁠
Of course, all of these reconstructions were done by paleo artists Franz Anthony (@franzanth), Julio Lacerda (@lacerda.julio) and Aldrich "Kia" Hezekiah (@Kiabugboy) who worked together to research, sketch, and render the key species of the series in full scenes that bring to life an ancient world.⁠
⁠
The full series is available now to watch for free on the PBS app or at pbs.com/eons. ⁠
