#palaeoart — Public Fediverse posts

A crop from THE EXECUTIONER'S MEAL, one of 49 artworks I painted for THE SECRET LIVES OF DINOSAURS, written by Dr Dean Lomax - Palaeontologist. It features a Nothosaurus giganteus taking off the head of a Tanystropheus hydroides - yes, there is fossil evidence for this behaviour!

Our thanks to young artist Caldey, who inspired by the forthcoming television documentary series "Surviving Earth" sent into @EverythingDinosaur a wonderful illustration featuring two hatchling Spinosaurus.

I'm finally able to show my new cover artwork for the 10th anniversary 4th edition of DINOSAURS, HOW THEY LIVED AND EVOLVED, by Darren Naish and Paul Barrett (published by the Natural History Museum, London). The sauropod is the wonderful Amargasaurus. It isn't available yet, but it will be soon!

Today's marine reptile artwork features Platecarpus hunting Enchodus. It was commissioned by the The Children's Museum of Indianapolis in 2021.

One of my oldest acrylic paintings, featuring Kentrosaurus. Can you tell that Doug Henderson was/is my favourite artist?

Isotope studies show that juvenile Limusaurus were meat-eaters but adults were plant-eaters. This is from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR (2023), by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton University Press).

My in prep 1:1 Larry model next to a cast of a Lariosaurus fossil. Hmm, time to address the clown feet.

The clay has started to dry out but I've realised this makes it a bit easier to sculpt and add details.

Archovember Day 5: Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis

2 Stegosaurs from Zoo Tycoon. Coloration based on animal designs from the game itself. Pelvic spikes of Kentrosaurus are based on several papers.#Paleoart #Palaeoart #Kentrosaurus #Stegosaurus

Working my way through some #Mesozoic marine reptile #palaeoart I have drawn. After yesterday's #ichthyosaurs, here are two #plesiosaurs - the extremely long necked #Albertonectes, and the huge predatory pliosaur #Kronosaurus.
