Hey I’m Basil, I’m an amateur palaeontologist aside from being a writer! I’m also an artist, and I obsess over Yara, my main character! https://t.co/4EhRcCfttt

Disappointing, when one searches for "paleontologist" in stock images, you largely get pictures of men in cowboy hats or colonial pith helmets, searching for theropods, in a desert.

(disclaimer, very small portion of palaeontologists actually do that)

I used to think to be successful palaeoartist, I need to rigorously stick to skeletal reconstructions. But after becoming an actual palaeontologist, realised they're a huge niche for experimenting with styles & by extension audiences.

Brayden Blight - Once a palaeontologist, he accidentally discovered preserved in amber and still alive DNA of a parasitic ancient 'primal' vampire, got infected and now is a funny woman of a supernatural hitman with a craving for special flesh and blood.

In the most extreme version of the shrink-wrapping meme promoted by one or two palaeontologists and palaeoartists, sauropod necks have been depicted as if these structures should be visible in the live animal, Ely Kish’s apatosaurines from 1983 being the ultimate example...

Hello there! I'm Basil! I'm an autistic artist and author primarily focused on fantasy. I like drawing anything from fierce ladies to dragons, but I want to expand my range.

I'm also an amateur palaeontologist and occasionally post pictures of my fossil collection!

By the way, if you are a palaeontologist from Global South on a tight or non-existent research budget and need illustrations to go with your publication, as a figure or for press release. I offer free palaeoart services!
