If you ever feel sad, remember, cute dinosaur figurines exist

Somewhere in Pleistocene Europe. An Elasmotherium sibiricum is lying down among some Eremophila alpestris. By the right side, a Megaloceros giganteus contemplates the grass plain from the shade of tree (Populus), while two hypothetical ancestral genus Pica look for food on its antlers. #paleoart

Papiliovenator neimengguensis (Pei et al., 2022) "Short-snouted" troodontid based on holotype BNMNH-PV030, from Vayan Mandahu Formation 83.6-72.1 millions of years ago in current Inner Mongolia, China. #paleoart #digital #painting #theropoda #dinosaur #scientificillustration #wildlife #light #art

Possibly the first reconstruction of a dinosaur to come from Africa, drawn in the 1910s by a native Tanzanian (then part of the colonial Deutsch-Ostafrika) taking part in the Tendaguru fossil excavations.

Scansorial pterosaurs by Zdeněk Burian, love to see it. And a good example of palaeoartists figuring out animal behaviour, with the actual science catching up later.

Bonus fact - The Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker is also fluorescent. #25daysoffishmas I love lumpsuckers so much 💙 🐡

reintroduction Hi I'm Ligus, I'm a traditional artist from Berlin. #SundayFishSketch made me start painting again and I fell in love with fish and marine biology. I'm also trying to boost other #sciart . Sometimes there will be some dog and crow posts ;)

Dreaming of summer. One of my many random hobbies is finding, photographing and then illustrating moths. It has opened my eyes to whole new layers of biodiversity, hidden in the tiny fluttering things I didn't give a second glance before. These three are from central Finland from last June.

Real life human against dinosaurs scene, an Homo floresiensis sheltering behind a trunk to confrontate two Leptoptilos robustus. Paleofauna from Liang Bua limestone cave fossil site, Pleistocene 100000-50000 years ago, Flores Island ("Nusa Nipa & Pulau Bunga in indigenous denominations). #paleoart

This is a practical exercise with Scelidosaurus harrisoni, trying to propperly represent the anatomical complexity of its fermall bones. #sciart #scientificillustration #dinosaur #paleoart #digitalart #science #biology #geology #paleontology #digital #painting #drawing #wildlife #animal #prehistory

This is such an incredibly beautiful example of palaeolithic ivory carving. The artist even made fine surface details to show the lateral markings of the fur, which are more or less identical with a horse depicted in the Lascaux cave.

My first pastel&ink artwork in a large canvas (70x50cm) Hypothetical nest parasitism based on the discovery of 2 perinatal Byronosaurus jaffei (IGM 100/972; IGM 100/974) in a nest with oviraptorid eggs, Late Cretaceous Flaming Cliffs, Djadochta Formation, Mongolia. #paleoart #dinosaur #birds #sciart

This is not a model. Or a shabby taxidermized modern rhino. This is a "fossilised" Woolly Rhinoceros, discovered in Starunia mine in Carpathian Ukraine (then Poland) in 1929. Dating to the Pleistocene, its exquisite preservation is owed to a mixture of brine, oil & clay. Held on display in Krakow. 🧵

Hello! A Pinned post to introduce myself! I am Vitor Silva, a paleoartist from Brazil. I work mainly with digital paintings and traditional sculptures, and will focus mostly on paleoart in this profile (with something different once in a while 😄) My ArtStation gallery: vitor_silva.artstation.com

Aquí una versión estilizada de estas criaturas, parte de la serie (inacabada) de Pokémon canarios

Ok, if we have to start from zero here, let me show you some of my favs (I barely draw these days): Triceratops at sunset (2019), melanistic Smilodon (2021), a mother Thylacoleo (2021) and a jaw-less Tyrannosaurus rex (2022). #paleoart

I'd love to see everyone's paleoart that features light, shadow and reflection, please 💚🦕🦖
