R is for rhynchosaur.

Rhynchosaur was a reptilian parrot beaked pig from the Triassic that ate mainly tubers and roots. (not literally a pig, but a fat lizard none the less)Illustration for extinct series.

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.

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)

“A young female Coelophysis bauri quietly wandering trough the plains of Pangaea, wondering if somewhere there's a male who will accept her as she is, despite her scars and mutilations.”

A great new reconstruction by for the recent paper out on agnostids from the Burgess Shale. A nice example of how helpful paleoart is for making your work accessible to scientists, media, and the public in general, especially in

Spread of what the section about the formations (the bulk of the book ) will look like. Like I said in my previous tweet, this one is the middle Sakamena Fm of Madagascar. this is what you’d be collecting if you worked during the Early Triassic
