Fossil plants are an informative and super cool topic for artists, and it really helps when paleoartists put time in to communicate paleobotany so other artists can improve their work. Big thanks to @MaijaKarala for her informative 2014 blog on DPF fossil plants #FossilFriday
Labeled myology of the upper arm and parts of the scapula, since this was remarked on FB
A few close ups, this painting was a really good exercise in texture and lighting, as well as anatomy. Pretty well-developed M. humeroradialis in megaraptorans, which fits with an arm-based prey capture model - HR is less developed in raptors and absent in abelisaurids
How many surgery videos is too many?
Asking for someone who is finally happy with muscle hue but might hork soon #SciArt
Got The Dissection of Vertebrates by @dpulera open on one side of my laptop and my sketchbook on the other. I could be working out, but I'm building muscles another way
Gonna be off Twitter for a few days, but first here's one for #WorldOceansDay:
"Ow F*ck"
Latoplatecarpus and Hoploparia, digital painting
Given the uncertain position for Megaraptorans in the theropod family tree, I added some feathers. Either it's a reduced basal coelurosaurian/tyrannosauroid feather coat or it's speculative filaments developed in derived allosauroids, take yer pick
Aight so I'm awake now and done today's work so here's a bit more on this guy. First, I went off @AshleyPalaeo's skeletal, which is currently the only reliable skeletal for Australovenator. You can see more of her stuff here: https://t.co/JW65IuNING
Australovenator night 2. @AshleyPalaeo's skeletals have become my go-to for Aussie Dinos. Also props to Aaron Griffin for putting his brushes out there for other artists to use, check out his stuff here: https://t.co/wU3Icz80jW
