  1. Day 3 of #SciArtSeptember: Migration. I was thinking about whales migrating, and then I started wondering if Plesiosaurs migrated. I ended up drawing some Plesiosaurs swimming across my sketchbook.

  6. i fr enjoyed this one cuz the colour combo is one of my most favoured plus spinosaurus and alike dinos are just cool. used RGBA Wet and defaulr brushes and applied heavily over and over again in small sizes, to make the paint look kinda thick and with no huge brushstrokes - to make it look like made with wee brushes. still experimenting with digital oil paints, aye.

  9. Here are some crops from "The Twisted Feast," commissioned by The Etches Collection. It features a bunch of fossil species from the museum and the Late Jurassic #Kimmeridge Clay: a bait ball of #Thrissops, #Grendelius and #Nannopterygius #ichthyosaurs, diving #Rhamphorhynchus #pterosaurs, #Caturus, #Gyrodus, and #Pachycormus fishes, a #Dakosaurus croc, and three #Kimmerosaurus.

  11. From the vault: my Arthropleura (Carboniferous) model for Muse - Museo delle Scienze di Trento (2015). This is a smaller one, just 50cm long, but they grew to be over 2m long.

    ...and the last post from 2022. Here's a study of Orthacanthus, for a project I cannot talk about yet. Orthacanthus, is a freshwater elasmobranch (shark) from the Carboniferous and Permian Periods.

    The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. Here's "The Transient Oasis," showing a colony of Seirocrinus crinoids drifting on deadwood.

    Some zooms into my "Primeval Clevedon Bay" painting (2022), depicting fish, crinoids, othrocones, corals, gastropods, and brachiopods in an Early Carboniferous shallow sea. This painting was the first winner of the Marsh Palaeoart Award.

    Here's a second painting of the Severn Estuary, this time during the Early Carboniferous. Called "Primeval Clevedon Bay," it features fish, crinoids, othrocones, corals, gastropods, and brachiopods. This painting was the first winner of the Marsh Palaeoart Award.

    Here's Western Interior Seaway mural 3, which I painted in 2021 for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, USA. Featured are a school of Apsopelix fish, Squalicorax battling an octopod, and a Tusoteuthis with blue bioluminescence.

  22. Delve into the history and inspiration behind the 1950s Marx Kronosaurus plastic toy: dinotoyblog.com/kronosaurus-ma

    This is one of the most insightful and thorough reviews to date on the @dinotoyblog, and also the final Marx figure to be checked off the reviewer's to-do list.

    N.B. Controversially, the skeleton may not even be Kronosaurus (see, Eiectus).

    In 2020 I illustrated LOCKED IN TIME, written by Dr Dean Lomax. Here's my "Transient Oasis" painting, depicting animals in and around a colony of crinoids growing on driftwood.

    Last post for my life-size Megeneura (70cm wingspan, 2017); packaging and shipping a delicate model to the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt, was nooooot easy.

    Front view of my life-size Megeneura model (70cm wingspan), for the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt (2017). It would have been a fearsome predator with a nasty bite and loud wings!

  28. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    I've built multiple life-size Megeneura models over the years, this one, for the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt, was the first at the full 70cm wingspan (2017).

  29. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    In 2013 I built 23 scale and life-size models for MUSE Science Museum, in Trento, Italy. Here's Hallucigenia, from the Middle Cambrian.

  30. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    A 2010 acrylic painting, of Mississippian (the first half of the Carboniferous) fish and crinoids. I've lost the fish species but the crinoids are Abrotocrinus, Dizygocrinus, Dorycrinus, and Decadocrinus.

  31. So I noticed we don't have Fluvionectes key art so I made one yesterday :)

    It will be used in the game's dinopedia.

  32. My art in 2023 (6/12)

    June: Anomalocaris, Dragon of the Cambrian. The realisation that most Cambrian creatures were tiny gave me the idea of a whole bunch of them hiding from a 40 cm long Anomalocaris while in positions reminiscent of a D&D party facing off against a dragon.

  33. Dimetrodon from memory vs. reference. I clearly don't know what they look like in my brain. #paleoart #Dimetrodon

  34. Now it's time for my favorite non-dinosaur dinosaur! I've always been fascinated by early proto-mammals, especially dimetrodon. Halfway through I realized I didn't have enough paper but I think I made it work.

  35. Nostolepis sp. in Pridoli sea with some scolecodonts, crinoids and ostracods.

    Drawn while doing my Master's research. I find all of these in samples I have.

  36. Mighty #Anomalocaris stirs, spreading dust and terror throughout the #Cambrian sea. #Opabinia, #Hallucigenia, #Pikaia, #Canadia, #Burgessia, #Marella, and #Elrathia can only hope the rocks and ridges they cover behind will hide them.

    Inspired by a display at the Naturkunde Museum Stuttgart that perfectly showed off the difference in size between Cambrian critters. At 40 cm, Anomalocaris was a leviathan.

  37. This is actually the third time I've drawn #dimetrodon. First time was as a bonus to my Humans and our Cousins project ( sauropods.win/@Vickysaurus/109 ) It was one of the first times I ever drew #paleoart, and I wish I hadn't made it so scaly. The second time was a silly image that popped into my head when I read of an old hypothesis that sail-backed #synapsids used their sails to surf across the water. 'Surfin' synapsids' fits the rhythm of 'Surfin' USA' perfectly. It's joined by Edaphosaurus

    #MyArt

  38. A first person view of petting a #dimetrodon like the big pupper it is.

    This one popped into my head fully-formed when I saw a Dimetrodon skull at the Paris natural history museum. It looked so friendly and loveable, and in that moment I could easily imagine it laying its head in my lap to ask for pets.
