Liam Elward Paleoart 🇵🇸さんのイラストまとめ

Rough color block vs final; thank god for #digitalart, so I don't have to waste paper on a bunch of rough sketches before I find something I like. I was inspired by the vibrance of extant sea turtles, which are never just plain brown or green #paleoart

FUN FACT: Ocepechelon was just one of 2 GIANT, highly-specialized #seaturtles from the Late Cretaceous of Morocco. Meet Alienochelys, the "yin" to Ocepechelon's "yang" #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration

There are few things as motivating (imo) for a paleoartist than an incredibly beautiful & obscure animal that you feel needs more/better representation. With that in mind, here's my reconstruction of the giant Cretaceous sea turtle Ocepechelon #paleoart #paleontology #sciart

Shamelessly meme-ing my own artwork #paleoart

This is Mammut americanum, better known as the American #mastodon. It is the best-known species of the genus Mammut, and one of the best-known and most popular of Cenozoic animals. #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration #fossils #paleo

To put that into perspective, the largest-recorded African #elephant ever was 13ft tall at the shoulder and weighed 11.5 short tons. #sciart #naturalhistory #paleo #paleontology #mammoth

This is the largest terrestrial mammal of all time, surpassing even Paraceratherium (the record-holder for quite some time) in size by coming in at an estimated shoulder height of 5.2 meters (17.1 feet) and a body weight of 22 tonnes (24.3 short tons). #paleoart #sciart #elephant

Palaeoloxodon namadicus can be called a few things- the Asian-straight-tusked elephant, or the Sangauni elephant - "small" is not one of them. This colossus would have looked down at Tyrannosaurus and outweighed its fair share of sauropods. #paleoart #sciart #paleo

Loganellia, a jawless thelodont w/ a square body & distinctive covering of spiny scales (that I prolly made too large). Gave it a coloration befitting its likely habitat of shallow coastal waters or reefs. #paleoart #paleontology #fossils #sciart #scientificillustration

3 sarcopterygian fish from the Silurian. From the top: Guiyu oneiros, Megamastax, and Psarolepis. 2/3 of these were pretty big predators of the Silurian seas, with Guiyu reaching about 13in while Megamastax is estimated at around 1m (3.28ft) #sundayfishsketch #paleoart
