Highlights from the stream, a #SundayFishSketch with Leedsichthys, swimming Avaceratops (with hybodont), courting Dimorphodon and Icarosaurus in a storm. #sciart #paleoart
Happy #SundayFishSketch
I've always loved these guys.
#Sundayfishsketch why is the mighty Xiphactinus upside down? Because @Mosasaurologist does not like Xiphactinus, that’s why. Stay tuned for the full #paleoart to be featured in the #SavageAncientSeas exhibit by Triebold Paleontology - coming soon to a museum (hopefully) near you.
Another #SundayFishSketch! This time Eomesodon, a beast that was able to grow surprisingly huge for a pycnodont. I saw a original in Solnhofen, especially impressive because one is able to the the sculpture of the scales which are usually too small to notice. #Paleoart #Sciart
Working off more of my @zsllondonzoo photos, here is Mesonauta festivus (Thanks to @gorshling for the ID) another cichlid! Due to time constraints, the piece went from twelve fish to eight fish to six fish, but at least there's a background for once! #SundayFishSketch #sciart
My competitive #SundayFishSketch today is a betta, in marker because my charcoals would never do it justice.
Pale deep sea lizardfish: the monotype that says it all. #SundayFishSketch
My contribution for the monotypic #SundayFishSketch is the "Malawi Gar"
This is my first watercolour fish and despite some difficulties, I'm very happy with him 😁
In between unpacking boxes, did a quick #SundayFishSketch of the sole member of the family Amiidae: the great grinnel, classy choupique - most commonly known as the beautiful bowfin!
#SundayFishSketch Epaulette shark, Hemiscyllium ocellatum. (Much more practice needed with colored pencils!)
Since I drew a bloodfin tetra, I feel it only appropriate to share the other #sciart I have made with this species! A cleared and stained bloodfin tetra to go with my #SundayFishSketch #anatomy
My last #SundayFishSketch of 2017. A lucky fish to start 2018 on #FishYearsEve! Carassius auratus, the common "not so gold" goldfish. #HappyNewYear #Ichthyology
Scalacurvichthys naishi painting no. 2 done and dusted, only two days late for #SundayFishSketch
@TetZoo should find this one interesting
A very late #SundayFishSketch of a marvelous, magnificent mudskipper. #artadventcalendar
#SundayFishSketch, my best shot at a Chrysiptera hemicyanea. A pomacentrid, as prompted by @Lampichthys. #sciart #Ichthyology #BiologyAsArt
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
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
Very few #paleoartists work on fish regularly, but even clades you would think are pretty normal can have amazing members, and in the case of pycnodonts we actually have several families of super weird fish. Rostropycnodus is just one of the medium weird guys. #SundayFishSketch
