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.

Taking inspiration from Ammonites for today's #inkyDays drawing. I liked it so much that I tried some on watercolor paper, too.

Here's an in-progress shot. The rest is now posted for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/KristinHenry/posts/inkydays-august-165503193

Here are some crops from "Consuming the Fallen," commissioned by The Etches Collection. It features over 50 fossil species from the museum and the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay.

Remembering my friend Richard Forrest, a marine reptile expert, with a week or two of marine reptile artworks. I'll start with this old acrylic painting, called The Wreck, which I created for Richard back in 2004.

It's marine reptile Monday!
Okay, that's not a thing, but here is an old acrylic painting from 1999 (26 years old!). It depicts a Liopleurodon breaching with an unfortunate Metriorhynchus in its jaws. It was commissioned for a TV series that was never made.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (by Dr Dean Lomax & published by Columbia University Press) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. "Victims of the Bloom" shows a mass stranding of baleen whales, sperm whales, seals, and fishes, caused by a toxic algal bloom.

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

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.

Paleoartist @BobNicholls kneels at his Liopleurodon shrine. All hail pliosaurs!

He was also touching up the paintwork while he was down there.

I am revamping Zniw Adventure's Pentaceratops because I can't stand the original's ugliness😭

But Before I finish...
...I gotta decide whether to transfer Trike's cold colors (Trike got forever scrapped and won't be returning) or to keep the original orange...🤔🤔🤔

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2011 a bunch of artists were commissioned to create some dinosaur stamp designs for the Royal Mail. It eventually came down to me Vs the great John Sibbick . . . and he won. Here is my Polacanthus design, which they kinda used, but with John's art.

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.

I speculated what a T-rex might look like with a mane of floofy feathers.

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.

Any of my paleo and paleoart friends have good resources for finding era and location specific flora/vegetation? Looking to add some late cretaceous New Mexico plants, including early flowers, to go with this Pentaceratops WIP.
