@Uriakart Congrats on the big numbers!! I’ll share some OC and Palaeoart
@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 Looking at outdated palaeoart has a very nostalgic charm to it.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...
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.
Your reminder that our famous/infamous 2012 book #AllYesterdays is about to jump in price (due to no fault of our own). Buy it now if you want the lower price: https://t.co/Ri0GXVgt6N #dinosaurs #palaeoart #paleoart #books
By the way, if you are a palaeontologist from Global South on a tight or non-existent research budget and need illustrations to go with your publication, as a figure or for press release. I offer free palaeoart services!
My first palaeoart (that I can find, from 2020) vs. My most recent https://t.co/UVrqosqpWG
What are your favourite *featherless* dromaeosaur ("raptor") designs? I'm thinking mostly of older palaeoart and documentaries rather than the more obvious movies.
Utahraptor ostrommaysi.

There’s some really lovely palaeoart on @GreerStothers website 😍 https://t.co/6gRIZnYHHr
Reitmeyer et al (2021) provide a unique look at the women working on palaeoart at the AMNH in the early C20th. Margret Joy Flinsch Buba reconstructed Proboscidea and went on to sculpt Pope Paul VI. And here’s Elisabeth Rungius Fulda’s (what a name) beautiful 1923 Baluchitherium.
And a reminder that #AllYesterdays itself is still in print; in fact, it's ten years old this year and we're considering the release of an updated, second edition. Buy it here... https://t.co/Ri0GXVgt6N #palaeoart #paleoart #books #dinosaurs #pterosaurs
Never forget the legends that put so much effort to filling up early palaeo Wiki with loads of free art. However, it's nice to see more palaeoartists also contributing now. Among recent ones, @Prehistorica_CM, @MetTiinA, @FredtheDinoman, and @archaeoraptor.
Dmitry Bogdanov & Nobu Tamura appreciation post. For a while most palaeoart on Wikipedia was by these guys. The sheer amount of illustrations they created for hundreds of taxa is incredible. My main inspirations (along with @FredtheDinoman) for becoming a contributor myself!
Retweet with a piece of palaeoart that was influential to you as a kid but you rarely see mentioned. When I was a Kid, the Tyrannosaurus from The Crocodiles Still Wait and Patrick's Dinosaurs really left an impact. Its just so striking to me in how it stands. https://t.co/vlgIpVvU87
