Idk exactly what's going on here, but I like the sound of "horsetail tail" lol #paleoart #fossils #inostrancevia #gorgonopsid
Seems like every new find (or rumor of a new find) indicates a different skin type, so I bet they were very diverse and had structures and textures that don't directly match up to any living animals. #paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration #inostrancevia
Inostrancevia, probably the most commonly depicted Permian gorgonopsid. I did this fairly quickly, mostly just to experiment with integument. The loose, almost sketchy rendering is supposed to be kind of tough, kind of wrinkly skin with some hairs/bristles #paleoart
Williamsonia! Aka the quintessential member of the Bennettitales, a group of cycad-like seed plants. I did this pretty quickly, so the lighting and detail could be a bit better. #paleoart #paleontology #botany #botanicalillustration #paleobotany
I think display is perhaps the most likely function for Spinosaurus' huge sail, so I gave it some stripy markings inspired by the blue tree monitor. #illustration #dinosaurs #fossils #sciart
Finished reconstruction of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus!!! I don't do #dinosaurs that often, so I tried to go all-out with this one #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration #art
Line drawing done for the giant Cenozoic bird Gastornis. I've wanted to reconstruct it for a long time, it's such a charismatic and remarkable animal. Look at that beak! (Also body outline is completely obscured by feathers, as it prolly should be) #paleoart #sciart #paleontology
After a long weekend out of town, I was finally able to finish my latest reconstruction of the derived rhynchosaur Hyperodapedon. Was somewhat prompted to do this after seeing how few reconstructions there are on Google; really surprising considering how awesome it is! #paleoart
A couple very rough scenes as part of my new years' resolution; generic silesaurid in a conifer forest & Atopodentatus in the shallows. Heavily referenced DeviantArt user tohdraws' "Shallows" for the second 1, love the vibrance & tranquility of it #paleoart #digitalart #sciart
