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!

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.

CAMARASMASH! quick grayscale picture of two male Camarasaurus lentus in the #sauropod equivalent of musth, a concept i'd like to explore more, so expect another picture just like this one, but better

...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.

one of the various reasons #AzhdarchidApril couldn't be completed- I had to do this- environmental reconstruction of the tendaguru beds, species depicted include giraffatitan brancai, dicraeosaurus hansemanni, kentrosaurus aethiopicus, dysaltosaurus lettowvorbecki, and my favorites, Indeterminate rhamphorynchoid and indeterminate dsungaripterid.

hey #portfolioday
I'm jack and Im an amateur paleoartist and illustrator who specializes in pterosaurs and silly dinosaurs that eat meat, and creature design of dragon-type things (evidently bridging the gap) I recently started blogging about it a bit at https://jfstudiospaleoart.wordpress.com/
(you can also find most of my *good* work there)

#AzhdarchidApril #8- Eurazhdarcho langendorfensis, the more gracile of the Romanian azhdarchids #PterosaurPtuesday

kicking off #azhdarchidapril, we have Cryodrakon boreas, a giant azhdarchid from the dinosaur park formation of alberta, and the only #pterosaur from Canada to be named.

I'm trying to think of archosaurs named after artists and so far I've got only one:

Effigia okeeffeae : Georgia O'Keeffe (Fossil was one of thousands found on her ranch.)

I'm sure there must be others.

I can't NOT post this to sauropds.win: New #paleoart for #FossilFriday: BRONTOSMASH! II: the BRONTOSMASHENING. High-resolution version just posted to #patreon along with lots of discussion about the apatosaur neck combat hypothesis: https://www.patreon.com/posts/120678428

HT to @mike, because I believe he likes this sort of thing.

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's my "awesomebro" Baryonyx design.

On a moonlit night in the early Carboniferous, two Pulmonoscorpius do a mating dance in the Lepidodendron swamp. Although the giant scorpions have little interest in prey right now, a Balanerpeton amphibian wisely decides to swim away, while several Casineria sleep through the night in the copious tree litter.

My take on Scleromochlus by paleoartist Gabriel Ugueto. Exciting times as we're finding more and more basal archosaurs that lead to both dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

#archosaurs #paleoart #dinosaurs #pterosaurs #procreateart

Pterosaurs have always been some of my favorite #archosaurs. It's a shame they didn't survive along with birds, as they would have given us an interesting way to compare flight mechanics between both groups.

Tried carving a #daedon today as an exercise in branching out from fish. Mammals don't come as easily to me but it's good to practice.
