Another #Jurassic #MorrisonFormation scene (which will be featured in my documentary #JurassicReimagined p2 - coming soon!) shows a mass feeding event on the carcass of a #sauropod dinosaur in a flooding river channel.
Did you know that many turtles chomp on carcasses?
Another #Cretaceous scene, but abt 20 million years older (90 MYA) & in N. #Africa... & the 1st #paleoart commission I ever did (in 2010), depicting the famous #Spinosaurus... & a bunch of other awesome creatures from the same formation...
Can you find BOTH Galianemys turtles?
Ok one more easy1 - my #mural for the #SavageAncientSeas exhibit I did for @TrieboldPaleo + @Mosasaurologist features a GIANT Protostega #seaturtle that lived around 80 million years ago in the big shallow sea that covered #Kansas & the rest of the middle of the US.
I agree 🤓
Feather tracts between scaly/bare skin regions is a detail I've played w/ in #paleoart, but I'd love input from #bird #anatomy people like
@KatrinavanGrouw
& #developmentalbiology ppl. In birds, these patterns are linked to the genetic code for skin development... 🧬 https://t.co/vgwOpzuSRd
Some of you may have seen this illustration (commissioned by @paleochick) I did for an interpretive panel in the #NavajoSandstone near #Moab #Utah. The NavajoSS in #UT is roughly the same age as the Aztec Sandstone in #NV, and our 3d exhibit will feature some similar elements...
@paleochick @UtahPaleo @UtahBLM @SV_POW @Neffra_M Gradually the pieces of the #composition began to fall in place. This was originally planned as a book cover, but i think it is now going to be used inside the book instead, with another #illustration (which I'll explain later) having been chosen for the cover.
@paleochick @UtahPaleo @UtahBLM @SV_POW @Neffra_M The Fruita Paleo Area (FPA for short) is one of many amazing #MorrisonFormation localities that preserves such a diversity of fossils and geologic features that it can be difficult to make sense of. But one of the unique things about it is that it preserves tiny animals & giants.
@eawilloughby @JCTArtStudio @SerpenIllus @Yara_Haridy This scene with a #floofraptor fam is based on the #MillCanyonDinosaurTracksite where various sizes of these #dinosaurs distinctive 2 toed footprints have been found. Here's @paleochick (who hired me to do art for the interpretive signage now at the site) with one of their prints
#Paleoart evolves thru collab.
My new #TyrannosaurusRex vs #Triceratops art commiss'd by @CrocHolliday was once a #Daspletosaurus vs #Chasmosaurus sequel to our #ThermalPaleoart scene.
Interested in seeing my #sketching/#concepting process?
