It's finally here! And I'm trying not to trip the algorithm lol!
I'll let Palaeo speak for themselves; even if you can't take something home today I'd be forever grateful for any retweets or shares. :)
@DinoDrawer Exactly! It doesn't take away from the art. As an example, I still adore looking at Todd Marshall's older paintings. They're still rich in artistic value, and the now inaccurate aspects show how much has changed. Looking at outdated palaeoart has a very nostalgic charm to it.
@arvalis Excluding palaeoartists, and in no particular order:

That's only from ArtStation (and sadly some great ones are deleting their accounts), but could add many more from Instagram.
In the most extreme version of the shrink-wrapping meme promoted by one or two palaeontologists and palaeoartists, sauropod necks have been depicted as if these structures should be visible in the live animal, Ely Kish’s apatosaurines from 1983 being the ultimate example...
This train man is AUTISTIC!

@DamiDraws_vt Hi I'm Basil! I'm an autistic artist and author under 1k followers! I mainly do fantasy art of all kinds, but I'm trying to branch out.
I also do palaeontology as a hobby, and occasionally post pics of my fossils!

@OpalOwlbear Hello there! I'm Basil! I'm an autistic artist and author primarily focused on fantasy. I like drawing anything from fierce ladies to dragons, but I want to expand my range.
I'm also an amateur palaeontologist and occasionally post pictures of my fossil collection!
April 6, 1821, the description of the very first ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs by William Conybeare published. Both fossils were found by palaeontologist Mary Anning 🪨🔨

Even more archetypal is the presence of fuzzy pachyrhinosaurs, an absolute staple in recent palaeoartistry. Again, utterly unevidenced though based on sound reasoning. The feathered tyrannosaur facing it is presumably Nanuqsaurus.
For starters, we have the presence of inflatable air-sacks/pronounced soft tissue on sauropod necks, a purely speculative feature that has seen a fair degree of prominence in the more esoteric palaeontological circles.
A commission I did for the one and only Purplecliffe! I was so shocked and excited to be commissioned by one of my favourite content creators, this was a blast :D

A little late to the spinosaur trend as everyone has moved on to Amargasaurus, but I wanted to do a quick reconstruction of the Baryonyx from the paper. Some palaeos have brought up legitimate concerns, but it has a really cool silhouette I wanted to explore.
