New post: high-res of Shonisaurus, a 14.5 m long ichthyosaur. See the full painting and shedloads of other art, essays and videos for just $1 a month (and help me make a living in the process). Huge thanks to all my existing backers! https://t.co/of8uF67r0Q

The pupils of living cephalopods can range from circles, to rectangles, to more complex "W" shapes. Here, I've gone with a totally speculative "lute" shape, just for kicks. Happy everybody! Have a great weekend

Line drawing of that most labyrinthian of ammonites, the Cretaceous Nipponites. I tried to go for a unique appearance for the soft tissue, and ended up with this vaguely octopus-looking, stalk-eyed form that's doing...something with its tentacles.

Idk exactly what's going on here, but I like the sound of "horsetail tail" lol

Inostrancevia, probably the most commonly depicted Permian gorgonopsid. I did this fairly quickly, mostly just to experiment with integument. The loose, almost sketchy rendering is supposed to be kind of tough, kind of wrinkly skin with some hairs/bristles

Finally finished the bust of Iguanodon. The scale work and coloring, while challenging, was very fun!

Williamsonia! Aka the quintessential member of the Bennettitales, a group of cycad-like seed plants. I did this pretty quickly, so the lighting and detail could be a bit better.

Results from the Lufengosaurus (NOT WITH HAIR and far more interesting than you imagine!) Protuberum (yes, it is weird), and Sinemys... in an unfortunate position.

Your periodic reminder that all good data we have on giant pterosaur anatomy and biomechanics points to well developed flight capabilities, even though they were the size of giraffes.

Line drawing done for the giant Cenozoic bird Gastornis. I've wanted to reconstruct it for a long time, it's such a charismatic and remarkable animal. Look at that beak! (Also body outline is completely obscured by feathers, as it prolly should be)
