#paleoart — Public Fediverse posts

I'm sticking with the marine reptile painting theme for Fossil Friday. Here's an old acrylic painting of #Liopleurodon and #Metriorhynchus, called "Killing Breach".

It's #FossilFriday!

Here are some zooms into my "Deep Blue Buffet" painting (Part 1), for The Etches Collection. It features a bunch of species from the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay: a dead sauropod, "The #SeaRex" (probably #Pliosaurus), #Hybodus, #Hypsocormus, #Metriorhynchus, #Aspidorhynchus, and lots of #Allothrissops

NEW ARTWORK TO START 2026

Here is "Deep Blue Buffet," commissioned by The Etches Collection. It features a bunch of fossil species from the museum and the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay: a dead sauropod, "The Sea Rex" (probably Pliosaurus), Hybodus, Hypsocormus, Metriorhynchus, Aspidorhynchus, and lots of Allothrissops.

Yes, this #Hyphalosaurus #Fossil REALLY DOES exist, and it is on the cover of our new book, written by Dr Dean Lomax and illustrated by me (Columbia University Press). Read all about it and 49 other amazing fossils (not all #Dinosaurs) that tell us about the behaviour of #PrehistoricAnimals. Pre-order on Amazon now!

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2011 I created a bunch of models for the Leicester New Walk Museum. Here is the scale model of the marine crocodile, Metriorhynchus (the leathery skin armour was unwise, it is too easy to interpret as scutes).

“Diabloceratops!”

This piece was almost completely done on impulse! It was mostly used as to test the #Posca brush marker, so I could get some thinner lines for smaller details!

But I think next time, I might need to seal the lines before #painting. You find holes in the lines if you breathe on it wrong. 😂

#Ferrodraco was an #anhanguerid #pterosaur from #Australia that lived during the middle #Cretaceous. It was described with help from Adele Pentland, and its name translates to “iron dragon”.

An oldy but a goody, #Stegosaurus stenops. The anatomy is a bit skinnier than I would do these days, but I still really love the colors and the textures on its doritos.

The second portrait from the series is Lambeosaurus. Also a hadrosaur from North America with a hollow crest.

Ornitopods don't get anywhere near the love they deserve.

Lambeosaurus and Parasaurolophus. Pencil outlines, I'll decide tomorrow how I want to color them if at all.

More WIP #paleoart for the #PalaeoGames book: Carcharodontosaurus vs. Rebbachisaurus. Like so many living prey animals, Rebbachisaurus has taken to water to escape predation and, like so many living prey animals, they're discovering that this tactic often fails.

For #FossilFriday I made a couple phone wallpapers from photos I took and I wanted to share them with you all! #paleontology #fossils #photogaphy #wallpaper #blackandwhitephotograhy #paleoart #BurkeMuseum #sabretooth
