When I first started paleoart around 2017, I was basically just doing colored pencil & ink in sketchbooks. Here's a few drawings from then: Skull of Nemegtomaia, the Early Devonian plant Discalis, Tupandactylus eating fruit, and an aerial view of the Rhynie Chert
This is a sampling of the fauna of the Early Devonian Beartooth Butte Formation of Wyoming. Illustration made for an upcoming book.
#Paleoart from 2017 for #FossilFriday: the giant placoderm Titanichthys filters through Devonian seas. This image is featured in my old school "tour-through-time" 2020 book Life Through the Ages II. I had a blast putting LTTAII together, I hope to something like it again someday.
#ExtinctFishoftheDay: Duyunolepis, a slightly more streamlined galeaspid, part of a small family that shows up rather late in galeaspid/armored jawless fish existence (mid-Devonian/400 Mya). Duyunolepids inhabited deeper coastal waters than most other galeaspids. 🎨@paleofan
I was navigating paleozoobr and found this cool group of sharks I didn't knew existed in the Devonian.. and this one is from my state! Nice
Aha, a wip for my next grand Paleoart!. Been wanting to draws fish for a great while; end in love with the late devonian, Famennian. Period just before the Carboniferous. 😸🎨
Here an Hyneria, drifting by the smells of what is but a phenomenal flooding🐟
okay I finished the Dunkie thingie, Dunkleosteus terreli a magnificent late Devonian leviathan, the first biggest vertebrate on fossil record with specimens reaching sizes about 6 to almost 9 meters in length.
The work of Yoneda Hitoshi. I love that the artist used the head of a real creature, the Dunkleosteus, a massive, armored fish from the Devonian.

Palaeoisopus problematicus is an extinct species of sea spider from the Devonian period. It measured 40cm in diameter.

Ancient fish are so strange and and fascinating. Furcacauda is a Lower Devonian (400 MYA) jawless fish who's fossils were found in Canada. The eyespots I put on them are purely speculative,but that nautiloid does think it's looking in a mirror. #DrawDinovember #Drawdinovember2021
Todays first Ecological Horror is the Jakaelopterus!
The Jakaelopterus was a Devonian horror and also the largest arthropod to ever exist. These were apex predator Sea Scorpions that could grow up to 9 feet long. They went extinct around 252 million years ago!
