Don’t forget Paleoartists! There are lots of artists who draw, paint, sculpt, and animate dinosaurs - and quite a few of us happen to be ladies! I’ve been drawing dinosaurs since 1986 and here are a few of my favorites:

Thanks for promoting smaller paleoartists! I'm a 3D and 2D artist and I like to make mostly dinosaurs with a few other types of extinct critters in between.

In short, it's not at all a good reference for what Gigantopithecus would've actually looked like. I see paleoartists using it way too often because they're unaware of its background. Use this amazing skull of the closely related Sivapithecus (GSP 15000) instead.

Fossil plants are an informative and super cool topic for artists, and it really helps when paleoartists put time in to communicate paleobotany so other artists can improve their work. Big thanks to for her informative 2014 blog on DPF fossil plants

Can't narrow down to just one! There are a lot of contemporary paleoartists I admire, like Willoughby and Conway, but today I want to highlight some paleoartists whose work I grew up with.
First: Brian Franczak! The lighting and scale make me feel a lot of things. Childhood faves
