Doodles from yesterday's flocking #paleostream featuring a speculative proto-pterosaur, proto-bat, Late Devonian radiodont, and Arthropleura-sized house centipede.

a peaceful Dilophosaurus #paleoart commission for @cascoclauda.bsky.social !!

Megaloceros, the largest deer ever, calls into the distance. Its cries fall only upon deaf ears.

Megalonyx, a ground sloth, rests among the snow.

Doodles from the last flocking #paleostream of the year! Featuring Appalachiosaurus, Lijiangosaurus, Teraterpeton, and Gerrothorax.

I painted a Jurassic classic, #Stegosaurus. 💚

Doodles from yesterday's flocking #paleostream featuring Camelops, Daemonosaurus, Panderodus, and Eustreptospondylus.

Telkaralura, the largest we know of the gracilisuchids, a Triassic lineage of crocodile relatives.

Quickish Nanotyrannus lethaeus anatomy study. Really cool to see two papers more or less back to back that very conclusively reestablish NanoT as a distinct taxon.

A male Nanotyrannus lancensis sports their sharp and contrasting breeding season colors. They lift their head up and catch the whiff of the promise of hope... a female...

i made a youtube video! very cringe, i know, but if you care to hear me ramble very briefly about paleoart… link below!

Megalania enjoys a soak off the coast of Australia.

Doodles from yesterday's #paleostream featuring Voay, Albanerpeton, Mekosuchus, and Enhydriodon.

Go my Bothriolepis... This year's fish pecan pie! Bothriolepis was a peculiar-looking placoderm from the Devonian period or the Paleozoic. It had two long pointed pectoral fins and silly little eyes on top of its head. #fossil #fish #paleontology #bothriolepis

Psilopterus, a relatively diminutive terror bird and among the last of its kind.

Doodles from yesterday's flocking #paleostream featuring Lepidodendron, Baryonyx, Champsosaurus, and Genyornis.

THIS IS STUNNING i love it so much

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.

there's a weird bird outside :/ #paleoart #sciart #berensart2025

gay paleoart! nature is queer!! 🏳️‍🌈

Now that SVP is over, I can finally post the commission that I did for @mosasaurologist.bsky.social 's poster on a certain very cool taxon! #paleoart #sciart

Doodles from yesterday's flocking #paleostream featuring Vampyronassa, Allodesmus, Papiliomaris, and Pterodactylus.

My cabbages! An aurochs has broken into a vegetable garden. While curious kids and domesticated cattle watch, a courageous farmer attempts to chase it away. This scene takes place in Poland around 1400 AD. Digital painting by Peter Nickolaus, 2025.

Guanlingsaurus feeds on a surplus of jellyfish.

Waning Hours

Doodles from yesterday's flocking #paleostream featuring Nanotyrannus, Pteranodon, Phosphorosaurus, and Helicoprion.

Xiphodracon breaches towards a golden sky.

look at my 1/4096 son… i love him

After two years of hard work, I’m proud to announce that our new special exhibition @smnstuttgart.bsky.social is now open for the public – Meet Triassic Life: Dawn of the world of reptiles (1/7).

Dust flies and wood breaks under the titanic efforts of two Scallop Nuns, the largest land animals of Lemuria. Their home are the open woodlands, which they formed in part themselves as they constantly topple smaller trees. This open up the landscape for grasses and ferns and...

my most evil creation... the disgraceful tube is in!

Newtonsaurus investigates a peculiar structure held in place by coastal sediments.

Homotherium labeled skull diagram. I made this for an online vertebrate anatomy illustration class I'm taking right now, where we were assigned to draw a labeled felid skull. #homotherium #cat #skull #paleontology #paleoart

The huge Deinocheirus in its habitat. Illustration I did for the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Japan In this illustration you can see a scene set in Late Cretaceous Asia where an adult Deinocheirus is scaring away a pair of young Tarbosaurus #paleoart #dinosaur #art

Akidostropheus, a uniquely ornamented reptile from Arizona's Petrified Forest National Park.

Zavacephale

my funny bird made it in!

Apparently I forgot to post this one! From the coast we go ever inward! The Mangrove forests of Lemuria consist largely of Nypa palms that grow along and in the waterways. Meet the weirdos of this green cathedral, with semi-aquatic sirenians, climbing crocs and tons of fish and birds.

Where the rivers meander into huge wetlands and lakes in the lowlands the light is often blocked out by enormous floating mats of grass. These grass rafts are a huge, diverse habitat even with it's own endemic species of whale.

Karstic stone forests are a rare habitat these days but the exposed former carbonate platform of Lemuria is an ideal ground for this habitat to form. Its a paradise for many small critters and specialized weirdos, some of which you can see here.

Phalarodon fraasi #Ichthyursday week 10

my silly little whale is here!

Guizhouichthyosaurus tangae #Ichthyursday week 9

my bald son made it in!
