New at Tetrapod Zoology .... Mesozoic Art II, Palaeoart Portfolio for the 2020s tetzoo.com/blog/2025/9/...

A new megaraptoran genus named Joaquinraptor, with a crocodyliform humerus found between its teeth/jaws. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

True story. We had this on the whiteboard in the old #PrehistoricPlanet office. My drawing.

Forgot to post here as well! Oh boy, this was a tricky one, went quite a bit back and fourth on the composition, specifically the rocks/whales. In the end this sea grass meadow of Lemuria got it's rocks back but also retained some of the whales sleeping in the back.

Tiny feathered dinosaur, Microraptor gui, (BMNHC PH 001084). Look at its short, boxy snout and well preserved feathers.

Saw that Beasts of Bermuda added Utahraptor so I had to make a very barebones homage to one of my favorite dinosaur designs ever (I'll...make a more camouflaged one later)

Very excited to present the first ornithomimosaurs from Early Cretaceous of Germany. Artwork by @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social and the paper is OA: www.app.pan.pl/article/item... Enjoy! More is to be described from this place

Spicomellus afer (2025) This one’s a panorama so you guys might wanna open this one up #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #spicomellus #dinosaurs #ankylosauria

Prehistoric Planet Ice Age out later this year... such a thrill to put this series together, oh my goodness are you in for a treat :) Hopefully news on events and publicity coming soon! Sloths, cats, rhinos, glyptodonts AND SOOOO MUCH MORE!!

Sad to hear about Mark Norell passing away, he made a lot of notable discoveries and his book Unearthing the Dragon was one of my favorites when I was younger, given my fascination with all the feathered dinosaurs being dug up in Asia

Another day, another addition to my very slowly growing mammal collection with this American Bison by Papo This further dilutes my plans of having some notorious modern animals in the same scale, but at 50% off it was hard to say no to this big guy

I'm surprised I've managed to keep this series going almost daily. Anyways, here's the next Kem Kem pterosaur - the tiny probe-feeder Leptostomia! As always, size comparison below ⬇️ #sciart #paleoart

not a croc

To liven up Tuesday afternoon, have some speculative #dinosaurs adapted for modern habitats. Respectively, they are the magnificent and steppe fissurefrills, the berk, and the grand field titan. It's nice to take a break from pure #paleoart every now and then, and designing animals is fun.

box-snout

After the Age of Dinosaurs is open this week! Here’s a 🧵 about our weird, trippy show about the weird, trippy recovery period after the end-Cretaceous extinction.

Hi all, me, @richardjbutler.bsky.social and the amazing UK-US-Moroccan team are delighted to announce that.. we have a new specimen of Spicomellus AND IT'S WAY WEIRDER AND WAY COOLER THAN WE EVER IMAGINED!!

Say hello to Istiorachis macaruthurae, a new sail-backed iguanodontian from the Lower Cretaceous rocks of the Isle of Wight, discovered by @valdosaurus.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

New #paleoart for #FossilFriday: someone spilt a load of Neave Parker all over this painting of Styracosaurus. Whoops. (I should really draw some ceratopsids found this century, but the Styracosaurus silhouette remains awesome, 112 years post-discovery. Note the non-speculated frill asymmetry.)

#Paleostream 's flocking, four 20-minute sketches!

Yanliao biota (middle Jurassic china) palaeontinidae (cicada relatives) I think all the best known taxa are present together with few more obscure ones. While the colors are artistic vision the specific wing patterns are not and are as they were preserved in the fossils. It's quite magical. #sciart

Basilosaurus crunching Dorudon… I have commission slots open if anyone is interested. #paleoart #sciart

Mosasaurus hoffmanni sketch Calm before the storm because I just got started with Calculus, which means art posts will not be as common as before unfortunately. #paleoart #sciart

Got those two Schleich figures as a gift, big fan of the black rhino, almost makes me wanna grab the Safari woolly rhino in the future to display together with my Indian rhino (even if the black rhino isn't quite to scale sadly) Also comparison with the Papo hippo

Forgot to post the Flocking sketches! #paleostream Simbakubwa, Postschizotherium, Brygmophyseter and Venetoraptor.

Allosaurus and Heterodontosaurus. Haven’t been doing enough pencil lately. #paleoart #dinosaur #sciart #art

Giganotosaurus, digital painting done in Procreate. #dinosaur #art #paleoart

Rewatched Shin Godzilla with friends yesterday (still an incredible movie) which reminded me that I think I never shared some of my kaiju artworks from (shudders) six years ago over here. Still pretty happy with those

Just found out the new Ultraman season has a kaiju based on a therizinosaur (and it even got feathers!) Big fan of this design Almost wonder if the description of Paralitherizinosaurus in 2022 inspired this

A trio of Plateosaurus wander the ancient Trossingen at the height of the dry season. #sciart #paleoart

Okay, here we go! This is my second thread for Walking with Dinosaurs, delving into some of the fun behind-the-scenes bits, especially those I was more involved with. This time, we’re looking at episode 2, The River Dragon! (1/50)

#PortfolioDay I'm a paleo enthusiast and aspiring artist, exploring different styles with digital art.

Next in the Gem Dragon illustrations I did for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons is my favorite. You may have noticed the somewhat controversial design feature but instead of cowardly ‘fixing’ it, I leaned all the way in. This is dragon 2 of 5

Of all the Gem Dragon illustrations I did for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons this weirdly proved the most challenging. I pushed myself to paint a type of scales I rarely do here. This is dragon 3 of 5

Evolutionary Arms Race

More exciting news! I am now able to share with you more of the concept art I did for the amazing upcoming NBC Universal show “Surviving Earth” premiering next year! This time for a fan favorite, Dimetrodon! I can’t say much more than this for now 🙊

New publication on the muscular biomechanics on the forelimb of Utah's Falcarius; more therizinosaurs please. Need more, but similar work on ankylosaur forelimb baud plans as well. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social @paleontologizing.bsky.social

I’m so excited and proud to have my illustration of Mirasaura in the cover of NATURE! Just wow! Especially happy to do that with such an amazing species and such wonderful research! #paleoart #art

Caihong (idk what those plants are don't come for me) #paleoart #sciart

Could extraordinary plume-like structures like those on Longisquama and the recently described Mirasaura be present in other drepanosauromorphs? I think it is not completely out of the question! #paleoart #art

#AppleTV have just put out a major announcement, so far only on Instagram I think... UPDATE: Twitter too. Yup, new season of #PrehistoricPlanet for 2025!

It is true

I was looking very much forward to this but the Hammerschmiede clay pit turned out much more difficult than I anticipated. As one of the most important Miocene sites in Europe and 3 big pieces by Mauricio Anton already done... my own expectations were high.

Queen of the Steppe (yes it's a 3d render)

Finally tracked down the Mattel Torvoneustes, absolutely love seeing more metriorhynchid representation and for a toy its pretty good, improves on the fin anatomy of their Dakosaurus too Also a random horse that was on sale lol

Splinter and shatter

The king with a broken crown. A new portrait of pteranodon sternbergi.
