Ancylotherium was a large chalicotheriidae known from the late Miocene-early Pleistocene #Africa 11.6-1.8MYA. It was a perissodactyl, being related to #horses and rhinos. They had muscular builds and long claws as opposed to hooves, and some of its relatives were built rather like #gorillas.

Megistotherium was one of the largest land #mammal predators ever. Weighing potentially 2400 pounds and with a head longer then 2 feet, it ruled the scrublands of early-middle Miocene #Africa. It likely used its extreme adaptations to hunt the many proboscideans of the time. Continued in comments...

With her usual #proboscidean prey disappearing from middle #Miocene #Africa, this enormous hyaenodont Megistotherium tries adapting her diet to other prey. It's a standoff between her and an Ancylotherium, a strange horse relative. #paleoart #sciart #hyaenodon #chalicothere #digitalart #paleontology

Early peak at the next one, Megistotherium (late surviving hyaenodont) and Ancylotherium (large chalicotheriidae) in middle Miocene Africa. Fossils of the former are found slightly older than fossils of the latter, but it’s possible the two met briefly, as the fossil record is incomplete. #paleoart

Two young neanderthal brothers come inexperienced and underprepared to take on a huge Coelodonta. It's the coldest part of winter, and their family needs to eat. Today they learn that desperation can drive you to take dangerous risks and pay the price. #paleoart #digitalart #woollyrhino #neanderthal

Sneak peak at next piece. Not sure how the fur will come out and the neanderthals will be a challenge, but I’m determined to try and make it look good. Inspired by 2001 Walking With Beasts by BBC. Listening to the soundtrack helps! #paleoart #digitalart #dinovember #coelodonta #woollyrhino #iceage

A young Allosaurus sizes up a huge bull Apatosaurus. It'll be some time before this ambitious therapod can take on any sauropod, but this particular Apatosaurus is out of even an adult's league. In the spirit of #dinovember #digitalart #paleoart #dinosaurs #apatosaurus #allosaurus #jurassic

A huge old Tyrannosaurus rex underestimates his prey's turning radius. This young bull Triceratops prorsus is in his prime, and isn't about to let a pesky predator get in his way. In the spirit of Dinovember. #dinovember #digitalart #paleoart #trex #tyrannosaurus #triceratops #dinosaur #dinosaurs

IT’s HERE! The trailer from Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age! I cannot wait for you to watch it! Once again, I’m so proud to be part of the amazing and talented group of people who help put this series together! #PrehistoricPlanet youtu.be/f7kvwp9aIyM?...

Quick little sketch to celebrate the final legitimization of Nanotyrannus. 30 years of back and forth and we finally have it. (In all fairness I was in camp juvi-rex, but science prevailed yesterday!) #nanotyrannus #paleoart #tyrannosaurus #digitalart #paleontology #dinosaur #dinosaurs #trex (not)

Wasn't satisfied after further review with the other day's @long-rhode.bsky.social portrait, so made a new one. Still only captures a mere ounce of his beauty teehee #digitalart #portrait

The Strap-Toothed Whale is among the rarest mammals on Earth. The beaked whales are extremely elusive, and not much is known about them. Strap-toothed whale males grow tusks that may wrap around their top jaws in their old age, starving them to death. #digitalart #natureart #whale #beakedwhale

Homotherium latidens, the scimitar cat. Related to Smilodon, it was one of the last of the machairodont cats. They hunted large open habitat mammals like horses, bison, and young mammoths. Long robust legs allowed them to pursue and grapple such prey. #paleoart #digitalart #homotherium #scimitarcat

Homotherium progress. Basing a lot of the design and color on the mummified cub from Russia. #paleoart #digitalart #homotherium #scimitarcat #sabertoothcat

Rough line art for another prehistoric cat, Homotherium latidens. Note the unique posture and limb proportions. Front legs were long and robust to pin powerful prey. The face looks droopy because an elongated upper lip and deep chin covered their massive upper canine teeth. #paleoart #iceage

Panthera atrox, the American lion. First time attempting this level of detail on a fluffy mammal digitally, very happy with how it turned out. Shame we don't have these roaming the states anymore. #paleoart #digitalart #americanlion #pantheraatrox #iceage #pleistocene #megafauna #toebeans

Cornops unicornis, the fictional one horned horn-face. Kind of a mix between a horseshoe crab and a true crab. Never draw arthropods so happy with how this turned out. Drew this in the spirit of invertober, def not gonna actually do any off the list though lol. #digitalart #crustacean #invertober

Juvenile Austroraptor dozes off in its mama's swamp. It's got its adult proportions and is getting bigger, but it'll retain its baby coat until maturity. Better to hide from the aggressive adults that wander into mama's swamp then try and stand your ground. #paleoart #austroraptor #digitalart

You can probably tell I like dragons by now. D&D ancient red dragon. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dndart #dragons #dragonart #reddragon #dnddragons

D&D 2024 metallic dragons I think Alex Ostrowski did a phenomenal job with the metallic redesigns, they have so much more personality then before. Loved drawing them! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dndart #dragons #dragonart #goldendragon #silverdragon #bronzedragon #copperdragon #brassdragon

D&D 2024 chromatic dragons Love the updated designs by Alex Ostrowski Was originally gonna be a drawing of Tiamat that's why they're all kinda weirdly connected at the bases lol. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dndart #dragons #dragonart #reddragon #greendragon #bluedragon #blackdragon #whitedragon

White Whale. Took about 6 hours. Locked tf in and honestly don't know how I even did it lol, don't know if I could ever replicate it. #art #digitalart #mobydick #whale #whitewhale #sailing #mastadon #leviathan #bloodandthunder
