For those interested I DID paint the Irish Elk in full. They're extremely tall and upright compared with a lot of other deer species but those long super model legs got covered up by the grass.
This will probably be my last piece of finished art for 2018; a tribal pair of Megaloceros deer (AKA Giant Deer, Irish Elk, etc). The detail shots are the actual working size since Twitter likes to eat art these days. I made the grass brushes but the deer are 100% by hand.
A sleepy P. palaeosinensis hanging out in a tree. (Blatant artistic liberties taken). This was something I did in late 2017 that I still really like.
If you're interested in watching art ideas develop on the fly you might be interested in watching my personal account @Palaeosinensis . I keep @PaleoPanthera pretty strictly art-or-business-only but sometimes that means missing out on process. Like these lost files!
I have updated all my remaining sticker stock to https://t.co/qn7dF9qjCx . Several designs have sold out or are close to it; better get them while you can!
I still really like this series; I might pick it back up again and go in color themes.
This was both a frustrating and rewarding paleo reconstruction to do. Coat is a little fantastical, but this was more of an exercise than a dead serious illustration. Panthera palaeosinensis is a basal member of the Panthera genus.
