In 2025 I really got back into traditional media, learned a lot more about working in 3D, and painted many, many dinosaurs. Cheers to 2026, and may we all paint more of what we love

A group of Dorygnathus use a Seirocrinus raft as a hunting ground for fish, when a big Eurhinosaurus suddenly breaches the surface. This scene takes place in Germany during the Early Jurassic, around 180 million years ago. Digital painting by Peter Nickolaus, 2025.

during the late Cretaceous. A pair of pteranodontids trying to keep a healthy distance from an admittedly passive mosasaur. Meanwhile, the hesperornithids take a short break from foraging to catch some rays.
