The first one is NOT actually of a rat at all! In fact, it is of a SNAKE! I even dare to bet that the mistake came from the skull being that of a 'rat snake', which is simply a species of snake.

[@the-white-eye]

thats not a rat snake skull either, boas and pythons have teeth like that, not so much collubrids. i went to the site myself to try the challenge and its a bit buggy with the selection bar sometimes

[@nbelval123]

I would also say a Python. Rat had me triggered 😂

[@houndgirl7365]

Definitely a snake from the constrictor family you can tell by the rows of teeth. Constrictors will bite and wrap, so their fangs point back so that once they are in they are in and the prey item cannot easily escape. I'm not sure which species it is, but my brain thinks green tree python lmao but one wouldn't know the specific genus unless that's what they specialize in. A rattlesnake tends to have 2 very large fangs and are a part of the pit viper family. Due to the sheer size I think people can rule out ratsnake species as well.^^;

[@amandab464]

Came in just to see the comments from reptile fans about skull number one. not disappointed:)

[@suzt7076]

Yes, I was thinking it looked like a snake!

[@franciscomoutinho4390]

As someone who has bveen in the area of biology (spefically paleontology) for around 10 years; its cool to see how people; even great artists, tend to represent creatures as shrinkwraped monsters. It's a delightful representation of human nature; the fear of the unknown leads us to imagine beings as way more terrifying than they actually are. Sidenote: Animals _always_ have at least one layer of muscle tissue and fat around their bones. They can also have structures that are cannot remain in bone/fossil record; such as trunks (like elphants have), queratinous bumps (like crocodile scales), feathers (like dromeaosaurs, although we know they had them), and fur.

[@tylerwolf42]

The first skull is not a rat skull. It didn't have any incisors. It was obviously like a boa constrictor skull or some kind of snake.

[@MudSluggerBP]

Yeah defo looks like a Boa, the separated lower jaw was a clear give away.

@@MudSluggerBP always new the way snakes yawn didn't look like a one-lower-jaw kinda thing

[@osiris2_050]

interesting is why snakes have the split jaw. (description mainly applies to the non venomous but suffocating types) It's if they have bitten their prey while choking them, they use their three separate skull parts to "walk/crawl" over them, encasing them in the process until they are swallowed.

[@Thagrynor]

So Jazza turned that first skull (like others have said, it is a snake skull, not a rodent skull) into Falcor from the Neverending Story? Nice!

[@amandagermany5933]

[@ellespoonies]

@@boredaf6332 there are a lot of reasons for him to have added the credit. technically he didn’t _have_ to, we can’t really force him and as you said it wasn’t a very large amount of people criticizing him for it. that said, when you claim to be pro smaller artists / creators and then don’t credit their ideas (even if they weren’t directly copied but just coincidentally happened to match up) that’s when you start to seem hypocritical and it begins to seem as though you only support them in the context of your own channels and content, where you personally are making money from it. it could’ve been anything from not wanting a bigger controversy to bubble up to quite literally an honest mistake, it’s impossible to know.

[@Chet_Thornbushel]

Aww love seeing the Drawfee call out at the beginning 🖤 Our youngest turns 8 next month and we just ordered her the sketch pack for her birthday.

[@AVDB95]

It was interesting knowing these skulls (biology background) and seeing were Jazza went. Love how freaked out he was by the snake skull. Beautifully illustrates how people used to think monsters existed after seeing certain animal skulls and why early archeology made such weird reconstructions.

[@aidanjames1988]

I agree too, I'm pretty nerdy over biology too, and I've got to say I thought the same with mythical creatures. What came out of the false killer whale skull was pretty cool.

[@paiget6200]

I can already imagine this animated. The long nosed creature is derpy but sweet. The hamster looking creature is the one everyone calls cute but he hates being called cute and acts tough. The big bird type creature is the voice of reason and the one that looks after the others. And the dinosaur/ dog type creature is picked on for his/her looks but is beautiful on the inside

[@amberjanelowe4179]

Okay I love when you put all the characters together maybe for the next one similar to this, for the final dive piece it’s the combination of all the previous ones!!!

THE BONE GAME!!!!!!

[@LowRankingSparrow6145]

Just going based on ur first drawing, the python skull (not a rat skull). You used the post orbital fanestra as an ear opening, which isn’t correct, I believe that cavity is used to attach large jaw muscles to the skull, so there would be no space for an ear. No worries abt it mostly though, I’ve made the same meistake before too! Edit: the ear goes just behind the skull. in dinosaur skulls, which I’m most familiar with, there’s a little notch of bone right above where the ear hole goes and it creates a sort of Bay Area where the tissue around the ear and the ear itself fits. Have a look at some dinosaur skulls and you’ll see what I mean

[@joualavedra1208]

The first skull design looked like Falkor from Neverending Story! 😂 And the second design reminded me of The Stealer Of Socks from Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, or the Jabberwock from Terry Gilliam's movie... What a cool inspo idea! I wonder if one person could design a skull for another to work on? Kind of like how Jazza had been doing character designs based on book descriptions? Love the end results! Wish I had the digital designing skills Jazza has!

[@alexisdorris272]

Jazza's rendition of the cetacean skull demonstrated so elegantly the issues with dinosaur recreations. It even ended up looking like an old school dinosaur concept art. This tickles me.

Can we just take a moment to realize how often he uploads ... worse and worse content ? With all the side projects he has going on it's expected, but the videos feel more and more rushed, the mediums are barely explored, the ideas are recycled from tiktok and other content creators, all of that packaged in a neat "high production" video with barely any soul left, only to be one more ad for the sketch pack. Again it's expected with the other channels he has going on, the video game company, his family and things we probably don't know about. He's strapped for time and it's showing more and more in the videos, himself admitting to that and one of the latest Insert Art video. This channel being the more successful one has to bring in the cash to keep all the "side" projects going, hence the frequent uploads, we're losing a lot of the identity. It's pretty obvious even in the art itself, less complete and complex pieces, more sketch art, rushing through the art process only to get 5minutes of ads instead.

First skull is some sort of snake. You can tell by the split bottom jaw and teeth that point backwards. The angle of teeth keeps prey trapped once they get a good bite on it, and the split bottom jaw allows them to swallow very large prey.

And thats whats called “shrink-wrapping”, in archeology it basically means looking at a skull (or any other bone) and imagining/visualizing it without much fat and muscle tissue (because they don’t fossilize) so Dinosaurs are probably very different than what they probably looked like. There’s actually a whole book about this topic if you want to learn more its called “All yesterday’s” it’s a very interesting book.

This reminds me of the "Flottos" from our childhood. When we were little most of the paper for drawing was re-used scripts and handouts from my parents (meaning they were already printed on one side). One day we noticed that some of them had beautiful drawings on them. They were all kind of microrgansims like algea my mother had drawen while looking through a microscope when she studied biology. My brother and I didn't know what they were we only could see they were somekind of creatures. We liked them so much we started to colour them in, gave them eyes and mouths, sorted them into typs and gave them names. The overall category name was Flotto. We even cut them out and played with them at some point. Sadly one day one of our greataunts thought they were junk and I was to scared of her to correct her so she threw all of the remaining ones out.

The 3rd skull was totally a Tentacruel

[@Omili]

When I worked as a freelancher 2D game artist (mostly just as a "monster" artist, making enemies for simple games and commissions for people) this was the way how I used to design my monsters usually. I picked randomly skull or asked some viewers/devs/customer if they wanted the "monster" to have certain characteristics or some animal. Tho I didn't use skull only, it was pretty fun to pick a each limb from different animal skeletons etc. Also one thing I did quite alot was imagining what kind of skeleton different bugs would have if they had one. This also works in 3D modelling really well and specially when designing new being in 3D. Making the animation skeleton (aka rig) for the model by mixing different animal skeletons before actually making the model. Just sculpt the model over that skeleton and thing how muscles and so on would wrap around the bones. It's very backwards way to make a model but I recommend to test + you kinda have ready detailed animation skeleton ready for the model and can test simple animations while sculpting the model to figure out clipping etc. This works best for models that will have hand made animations. For something that reacts with physics or is used for VR avatar etc it's better to just model first "T" pose model and rig it then.
