So I found out the Ty: The Tasmanian Tiger is on the Nintendo switch store... I had to get it!!

This was the first drawing I had done for 2021 but it was drawn on January 6th and I felt it wouldn’t be appropriate to post it on that day.... and then I never posted it like I was supposed too...

Listen. Okay fuckin

Tiktok

I’ve seen all these fkn videos about oh strawberry cow/strawberry frog/strawberry SNAIL

And yes. It’s

pure

And

wholesome

but it fills me with

Rage

Because my favorite animal is

Extinct

And no one Knows they EXISTED

No one’s out here making

Strawberry Thylacine

I took a shot at trying to draw a Thylacine! Cus I have a shifter character that can go from human to Thylacine so I wanna keep practicing, fluffy baabies.

one day hope that I can see a live one

More recolors!

I can guarantee these are real thylacines.

I do not think the recent photos that just came out are real :/ sorry yall.

These are stills from a 1928 Beaurmis zoo film by James Malley.

Apologies for the screenshots 😭 idk how to get better quality images of the photos from the thylacine museum.

Listen....idk what it is about the Wilfred Batty photos but they always make me jump when they finish and I am left with a thylacine in deep rigor mortis and really good colors.

So...Woolworth female and her joeys and Wilf Batty thylacine photos.

Constellation Corinna

i also do art! Idk if y'all knew that I only have like two other drawings I've posted on here. But it's not just historical photo recolors and stuff!

Sorry it's blurry

This painting is currently taped to my wall so I had to climb on my bed to get a photo LOL

Thanks for the tag!

Here are more photos of thylacines from the Berlin zoo. There were 4 individuals in total, 3 males 1 female all from different times except for the last two who arrived at the same time (a male and the female)

unfortunately all were very stressed and showed behaviors such as pacing and chewing on the bars (seen in top photo) which wore down their teeth.

Thylacine at the Berlin Zoo By: Unknown photographer Ca. 1905

I still haven't found a way to colorize gifs. But I don't think a lot of people know about this thylacine footage.

(will update when I pull out my info I wrote down, I just woke up =w=)

EDIT IM SO SORRY

LOOK BEHIND THE DEVIL GDFSGDHFFVB LOL

-Top pictured is one of the Burrell photographs. Which were edited to be close ups to depict a 'thylacine in the wild' later debunked to be a captive thylacine.

-Middle pictured is the Wilfred batty thylacine which is the last recorded thylacine shot in the wild.

-Bottom pictured is the Beaumaris zoo family group.

Colorized Thylacines pt. 3

This is my favorite photo of them

three female thylacine one with a amputation forefoot

They are friends

(idk when yellow footed rock wallabies first broke off into an individual species, but perhaps Thylacinus Cynocephalus was on the mainland then)

Also I found the resource I've been looking for to make that art project of thylacinid family tree.

OH GAWD *dying sounds* ARCHIVE DID... DID YOU POST NON THYLACINE STUFF ON YOUR THYLACINE ARCHIVE ACCOUNT??!! OH OH GOD

The bottom is gonna be a button :D

You know what? That's it.

**Tasmanians your tiger**

Hi!!! I baguely remember a photo of a thylacine with a joey poking out of the pouch and it stuck with me a lot because it surprised me to learn their pouch opened backwards, but I can't for the live of me to find it. Do you perhaps have it around? Thank you!!

Hello! Thank you for the ask!

I have a few ideas what the photo you are looking for might be.

First is the Buckland and Springbay mother and pups photo. This was a taxidermy that was later destroyed, however portrays a joey emerging from the pouch:

Next is the family group from the Washington zoo:

(portrait done by Joseph M Gleeson of the Washington zoo family)

This was a mother and 3 Joey's that were brought into the national zoo in Washington DC. The Joey in the pouch ended up passing away in September unfortunately.

Beaumaris zoo group:

This was a mama with an extended pouch from four Joeys. In the film where the keepers are getting them into the den for the night her pouch is easily seen moving as she walks.

Lastly pictographs:

These are a collection of pictographs from around mainland Australia that depict Thylacinus Cynocephalus. Note the two middle on the left that have an extra tail, showcasing young in the pouch.

This doesn't show the pouch but it's one of my favorites.

If none of these are it and you have more ideas on what the picture may be let me know! Send as many asks as you'd like! As far as I know I'm aware of all or at least the majority of thylacine media.

I spend a lot of time in archives *sob*

Here are some more thylacine recolors for y'all!!

Thought y'all might enjoy this.

I used an app to recolor black and white photos of thylacines.

Moonlight wolf

Haha get it?

When she says:

"I'm fine"

What she means:

"I just spent the past 3 hours comparing that new thylacine pelt specimen to thylacine photographs and documents."

I really enjoyed wolf walkers and now it's one of my favorite movies!

Halloween art piece:)

Enjoy

Also if you understand the tombstones, kudos!!!!

1933 Thylacine Footage Colourised

Through his company, the Paris-based Composite Films, Samuel François-Steininger has developed a well-deserved reputation as a leader in the field of colourising black-and-white archival footage. The NFSA scanned the original film negative using a Scanity HDR (High Dynamic Range) film scanner and sent Ultra High Definition ProRes files to Samuel in Paris. Samuel's team then commenced extensive research before embarking on the colourisation process. Samuel writes: 'For the thylacine, I faced a different kind of challenge – and responsibility. I had to take care of the rare filmed footage and pay tribute to the last representative of a species, which disappeared 85 years ago.' 'From a technological point of view, we did everything digitally – combining digital restoration, rotoscoping and 2D animation, lighting, AI algorithms for the movement and the noise, compositing and digital grading. 'More than 200 hours of work were needed to achieve this result.'

Here's a nice way to celebrate National Threatened Species Day in Australia (September 7) - some enhanced and colorized thylacine footage! Watch it on the NFSA Website.

(By the way, as of September 7th, 2021, it has been 85 years since the death of the last confirmed thylacine in 1936.)
