I worked on a paper about animating Rhamphorhynchus from last summer to February, about time I post about it! (🧵1/7) #paleoart #sciart

Dsung Intersex Crest I believe that the original sketch (made a few years ago) was brought on by my anger at the invisibility of intersex people in the public eye, along with how their parents often treat them. I had no idea what to do for the background tbh #dsungaripterus #Pterosaur #paleoart

Rhamphorhynchus again. what a good animal. #paleoart #sciart

Continuing my recent trend of #Yanliao beasties, here's an updated, more serious attempt at #Jeholopterus for #FossilFriday!!! The camouflaged colouration is based in #Ginkgo bark, which would have grown in contemporary forests. #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #pterosaur #Jurassic #paleobotany

Rhamphorhynchus Was intended to be just a sketch but I spent 2 or 3 too many weeks on it. #paleoart #sciart

This country is making me sad and scared but that’s a good excuse to try to do some more good. I’m raising money with this sticker to help support Brave Space Alliance, a black and trans run organization. Community spaces are so important in uncertain times. 100% of profits donated! #bsnm #bugsky

It is finished!

🚨TWO NEW AZHDARCHIDS NAMED🚨 a very warm welcome to gobiazhdarcho and tsogtopteryx, both described best on cervical vertebrae found in the late cretaceous bayanshiree formation of mongolia short thread 🧵 (art by zhao chuang)

"I took this photo while wildfires were raging in rural Romania." #paleoart #pterosaur

By the way - our poster analyzing dinosaur documentaries from a couple years ago is now on ResearchGate!!! In case you wanna see our preliminary results suggesting what biases are leaned into

The next rotation starts right now and has new artwork from both previous and new exhibitors in. 🌟 Please check the gallery out on my site (extinctfineart.com/view-gallery/). If you'd like to know more about the new artwork, join us for our next online networking event tomorrow (5.9. @ 5pm UTC+2).

My #Patreon feed this month features three new #pterosaur #paleoart pieces: Pteranodon, Tupandactylus and Jeholopterus sp., alongside essays concerning what is known of, and what some have predicted about, their colour. Check this out at www.patreon.com/c/markwitton. #sciart #fossil #paleontology

More @dinoconuk.bsky.social prints. This is it now, I promise. This is Tupandactylus imperator, one of the most spectacular of all #pterosaurs. Some data exists about the crest pigments and the nature of the feather-like fibres on the head. More on this at #Patreon in the near future. #paleoart

It's out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuHY...

Open for business! Just contact me if interested!

Next networking events! 👥 Every rotation of the gallery comes with new artwork from amazing palaeoartists and an online #networking event to get to know each other and stay connected. Additionally, we will have focus sessions and discussions on specific topics with experienced artists. 1/n

NO FUCKIN WAY!!!! 🫨🫨🫨🫨

I told @cascoclauda.bsky.social if they got a distinction back on their grades this semester I'd paint them a hatzegopteryx. Congrats friendo! They suggested I share some of the WIPS so here's a sketch& color comp. Thanks to @skyemcdavid.com for crits! This is my 1st pterosaur I think? #paleoart

Thalassodromeus ~ sea runner 🌊🏃🏽‍♀️ . The pterosaur collection is complete! . This guy is the conclusion of my first series of pterosaurs…and I think it’s my favourite design!

Eyes like heaven Infernodrakon hastacollis #paleoart #sciart

Come check out the paleoart gallery!! 👀 I’ll also be at the online event, so make sure you have your seat booked!

LOVE these guys!!

Sordes pilosus was a non-pterodactyloid #pterosaur from the late #Jurassic from what is now Kazakhstan! ✨ #sordespilosus #sciart #paleoart #paleocartoon #paleocartoonist #pterosaurs

Tupandactylus ~ Tupan finger 🇧🇷👈🏼 . 3/5 complete! . I did originally think about putting a big ‘eye spot’ in the head crest of this pterosaur but I thought it would be interesting to look at how colours and subtle patterning could play a part in its display 👁️

new pterosaur! a warm welcome to eotephradactylus, the first pterosaur to be named from the famous chinle formation of the late triassic (art by brian engh) www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Dsungaripterus ~ Junggar basin wing 🇨🇳🪽 . It was really exciting to come up with a colour scheme/pattern that included so much colour!! I got a lot of inspiration from hornbills and toucans . What do you guys think?

Just deleted Instagram on my phone, hopefully for good! 🙌🏻

🌍 To all palaeoartists! 🦕🖌️ The Virtual Palaeoart Gallery is entering the next rotation! I am calling on all creatives (painters, modellers, poets, ...) in the field of palaeontology. 🗓️ If you'd like to take part in the upcoming July rotation, please register by 10th July. Link below. 1/n

Ok I’ll sign this later but I decided done was better than perfect. A pair of Lycaenops have an argument over a stick. Did you know we have found gorgons with other gorgons teeth embedded in their face, with healing after? It’s true! Anyway, it felt very dog park and I had to make it happen. #sciart

Chaoyangopterus zhangi trying to stick a landing! 🌟 #chaoyangopterus #paleoart #paleocartoon #paleontology #sciart #pterosaur

Tropeognathus ~ Keel Jaw 🦷🦅 . The first of my pterosaur collection finished! It’s been interesting to think about the possible colouration/patterns these creatures would have had, especially when their jaws had such a large surface area! . What do you guys think of this first design?

FUCK YEAH LESGO
