So over winter winter break I played some D&D with friends, and had my players fight an ancient dino-dragon queen. When you're friends with a paleontology nerd, expect some science in your fantasy

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

Seems like every new find (or rumor of a new find) indicates a different skin type, so I bet they were very diverse and had structures and textures that don't directly match up to any living animals.

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.
