@Laelaps Female paleoartist from Finland here! Thank you for making this thread - there are so many talented people from diverse backgrounds that are far too easy to miss.

I participated in @JoschuaKnuppe ’s Flocking together #Paleostream last night and had lots of fun. My results here: 20-minute sketches of Astrapotherium, Brontosaurus, Tullimonstrum, Yi qi, and Shringasaurus.

Working on something fun. Unfortunately I’m already too old for artistic all-nighters.

And here we go: Iguanodon, one of the three animals originally used to define Dinosauria. Its life appearance has been updated many times since, but it’s still as weird as ever.

Greeting the morning.

Often, mostly due to lack of time, I tend to illustrate a single animal of a species and call it a day. Unfortunately it effectively prevents showing social behaviour. Here’s a family group of Ozimek, the Triassic gliding reptile, emerging from their nest.

Trying to make sense of Triassic critters. This is Ozimak, a recently named Polish cousin of the famously odd leg-winged Sharovipteryx.

I'm a bit late for the "what did you achieve this decade" party, but realised that exactly 10 years ago I decided what I want to do when I grow up, and then made it happen. It has been maybe half hard work and half blind luck.

Uh, nothing intelligent to say about this one. Super accurate Megalancosaurus got a little courtship display. Very suitable for making your first ever animation at 2 am.

I’m feeling so artistic. Here, have a super accurate Megalancosaurus.

Our train today had noisy family with a whining child. I was probably making this face for half the journey. It’s Megacerops, a distant relative of horses and rhinos.
