Whenever I'm not obsessed with creating #paleoart, I'm obsessed with the myths of #lovecraft and the great #Cthulhu.
The #paleoart I created for @Irishpalaeo's brand new rhamphorhynchid taxon Klobiodon rochei. This was a big animal for the Middle Jurassic with a 2 m wingspan, a robust jaw and some awesome teeth. Read about it (and more about Mike's work) here: https://t.co/11uIsQegzp
Totally Forgot to share these highlights from the last #paleostrean! Akmoniston, Albertonykus, Nimbadon, Spinophorosaurus. Next weekend we will have our Christmas streams! Expect polar and ice age animals, Christmas music discussions of the papers that where published this week!
#Anurognathid finished. He’s wearing a sweater made of adorable.

Very rough first attempt at a size chart here, I pretty much eyeballed it based on skeletals, etc. Mostly wanted to see what they all looked like together! #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration #fossils #mammoth #elephant #Proboscidea
Peltephilus, the horned armadillo! https://t.co/m7yhE16pEe #paleoart #sciart
My FINAL proboscidean is Mammuthus primigenius, aka the woolly mammoth. This is one of the most popular of extinct organisms, serving as the iconic "mascot" to the Cenozoic. It is characterized by its instantly recognizable shaggy coat and long, strongly-curving tusks. #paleoart
'Four Hungry Chicks'
A desperate Velociraptor mother looking for food for her four hungry chicks.

We had a interview with Lucas Attwell tonight! In the mean time I did a few more Crystal Palace animals @cpdinosaurs on the #paleostream. Help to save these early paleoart masterpieces! You see here diycnodonts, Megatherium, Mosasaurus and a teleosaur, crazy bastard! #paeloart
Thalassodromeus sethi overhaul, thanks to @GreatDragon15 It did not take as long as expected. This #pterosaur will star as the main Subject of my first Blog Post. It also is my favorite Pterosaur.

I may not be done with dinovember yet ( I blame reallife stuff on this. My office is in a very busy place rn ) But allow me to post what I finished in time #paleoart
Results from the Crystal Palace #paleostream! Help @cpdinosaurs to bring Benjamin W. Hawkins creations back to their former glory, I jumped ahead and tried to immerse myself a little into a Victorian paleoartist, you can donate here: https://t.co/NjoY1xKZA0
Only three groups of Synapsids/therapsids survived the end-Permian mass extinction event into the Early Triassic: dicynodonts (top), therocephalians (center), and cynodonts (bottom). Only the latter (our relatives) survived into the Jurassic. #paleoart #sciart #therapsids
Rough color block vs final; thank god for #digitalart, so I don't have to waste paper on a bunch of rough sketches before I find something I like. I was inspired by the vibrance of extant sea turtles, which are never just plain brown or green #paleoart
FUN FACT: Ocepechelon was just one of 2 GIANT, highly-specialized #seaturtles from the Late Cretaceous of Morocco. Meet Alienochelys, the "yin" to Ocepechelon's "yang" #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration
There are few things as motivating (imo) for a paleoartist than an incredibly beautiful & obscure animal that you feel needs more/better representation. With that in mind, here's my reconstruction of the giant Cretaceous sea turtle Ocepechelon #paleoart #paleontology #sciart
