A series of plesiosaur #paleoart for #FossilFriday: Jurassic marine species Attenborosaurus and Plesiosaurus, and the coastal/freshwater adapted Leptocleidus. It's very cool to think some plesiosaurs would be visible in rivers, lakes and estuaries.
Cold on the way to work this morning? Consider yourself lucky that you didn't live during the most extreme ice age of the last 550 My, at the end of the Ordovician Period. About 50% of marine genera went extinct, and stocks in the refrigeration industry plummeted. #paleoart
#Archeopteryx? Nope, not anymore, the Haarlem specimen is now a own species, not even directly related to old Archie. Instead #Ostromia is closer to #Anchiornis. Here a quick, first guess on it's appearance. Another stem bird for #Solnhofen, diversity for the win! #Paleoart
Looking back through old art. Here's an illustration of Cumnoria prestwichii. #digitalart #paleoart #geology
At the end of every month, @UnderdoneComics and I will release a new #dinosaur #comic #collaboration!! Original concept by Rob Lang, recreated by yours truly, M. BrookeS!
#drawdinovember #dinovember #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #sciart #paleoart #webcomics #WEBCOMICWEDNESDAY.
Today’s morning warmup sketch: Diplocaulus, the famous Nectridean genus, one of my favorite Permian Tetrapods! Sketch done as suggested by @Blackmudpuppy #paleoart #sciart #diplocaulus
It's good to be the king: #tyrannosaurus #paleoart #dinovember #dinosaur #king
WIP. Ericiolacerta parva, one of the few Terocephalians that survived into the Early Triassic. Fremouw Fm, Induan/Olenekian, Antarctica 🇦🇶 #Therocephalians are usually recovered as the sister clade to cynodonts. Reconstructed with fur as suggested by @Synapsida #paleoart
Snow sliding Saurornitholestes sp from prince creek formation. This one is colored after scrub jay. #Dinovember #drawdinovember #paleoart
WIP Leptonectes sp, Posidonia Shale (Early Jurassic, Germany). One of the 27 ichthyopterygian taxa that I will include in my upcoming book #JTTM. I would like to see what @Dean_R_Lomax think of these #ichthyosaurs #paleoart #sciart
And another pycnodont! This genus, Stenoprotome, is mostly known for dorsally preserved parts of the head, but in combination with the few lateral preserved parts, and material from related genera, they let us paint an absurd picture. #Paleoart #SundayFishSketch
Freeze Megaraptorid. #dinovember #drawdinovember #paleoart
I've noticed that we often restore the babies of extinct animals with proportions much like our own tubby, dumpy offspring. This doesn't always fit fossil data, as evidenced by surprisingly leggy Protoceratops hatchlings (snout-vent c. 10 cm). #paleoart #dinosaurs
#Paleoart of Schizooura lii, a funky Aptian-age euornithine from Jiufotang with a split tail fan. Textures are underwhelming for the amount of time they took, but hopefully it works ok! Done for https://t.co/DCXKXQEJQ3.
Let's continue. Gladiopycnodus is probably the best #fish when you search for some alien spaceship inspiration, the armored belly and back, long rostrum and of course the huge anal spines can't be ignored. #SundayFishSketch #Paleoart
We recently finished up with enantiornitheans on a-dinosaur-a-day (newly named taxa aside), and after doing #paleoart for 27 of them, here are some of my personal favourite illustrations!
New blog post for #FossilFriday: Can we predict the horn shapes of fossil animals? Perhaps, with enough data, we have more insight on horn sheath shape than we realised. Stars Triceratops, because it's a post about horns. Also features new #paleoart!
