You vs the proboscidean she tells you not to worry about #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration

Finished Cotylorhynchus!!! Gave this Early Permian synapsid some cornified pads on the skin to help it dig/burrow, which is what it likely did with those action figure forelimbs it's got. #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration

Just finished Arambourgiania, the other end of the azhdarchid ecological and morphological spectrum opposite Hatzegopteryx. It may look ungainly, but keep in mind that head is a lot lighter than it looks.

It's times like these I'm glad I switched to digital @MarkWitton

@LeonardoYokhana Lol. It's got a short neck for its family, the azhdarchids. That's Hatzegopteryx on the right (art by Mark Witton)

One of my biggest "paleoart pet peeves" is when trilobites are reconstructed as if someone just dropped their chocolate-brown fossils right onto the seafloor. If living arthropods are any indication, they were likely very diverse in color and patterning! #paleoart

Just completed a reconstruction of the giant short-necked azhdarchid Hatzegopteryx! A giant, terrestrial apex predator from the Late Cretaceous of Romania. I primarily referenced the PeerJ article by @MarkWitton and @TetZoo

"Lithographica" is a vintage-style depiction of some of the biodiversity of the Solnhofen Limestone, a bountiful fossil formation in Germany. I wanted to show what a naturalist might have seen walking amongst the islands and lagoons of Jurassic Europe.

Since the winner of @GreyGriffon's #TheSummonENGH2018 #paleoart contest is being announced tomorrow, I thought I'd share the entries I submitted: "Lithographica", "Wrong Branch", and "The Treachery of Retro Paleoart"

Until I actually work up the motivation to fix it up in Photoshop, the portrait will have to do #drawdinovember #paleoart #dinosaurs #paleontology
