A foggy morning in late Cretaceous Montana. The carcass of a large softshell turtle becomes a battleground for Hell Creek's two most ferocious apex predators... I'm a little late to nano hype but I've got to fill my quota for one non-avian dinosaur per year #paleoart #sciart #backinhell

Steppe lion enjoys the last days of summer. But mornings are getting colder, winter is coming.

I've been working on a fully animated video about #Nanotyrannus since the paper dropped. I wanted to share a scene of a #Tyrannosaurus rex & N. lethaeus walking alongside each other, mainly for visual comparison. (Walk cycle animation rig made by @tylerstoneart.bsky.social in #aftereffects)

Just posted some new #paleoart to #Patreon (www.patreon.com/c/markwitton), full images coming soon. For now, here's a nigh-on-midnight special preview of one new piece, just for other folks who really should be off their screens already: a baby mammoth chasing ducks. Some mammoths are just jerks.

Bird nesting in the Cretaceous! This is the illustration I did for a new paper by Lauren Wilson and colleagues that is published TODAY in Science The new paper describes an assemblage of fossils that includes both chicks and adults from multiple species of Late Cretaceous birds! #paleoart #birds

New walk cycle animation I did for @naturescompendium.bsky.social. His new video on Carnotaurus drops TOMORROW and is going to be awesome! #paleoart #paleontology #dinosaur #carnotaurus #animation #aftereffects

As a bonus, here’s the walk cycle of Paralititan I also did for @naturescompendium.bsky.social. We’ve got a lot more on the way this year, so stay tuned! #paleoart #paleontology #dinosaur #carnotaurus #animation #aftereffects

Tune in Saturday, March 15 to watch my latest video on #Carnotaurus! patreon.com/Natures_Compendium

All 2D! The puppet was provided for me by @naturescompendium.bsky.social. He draws all the assets for the videos himself.

Even though I did kinda jump on the badwagon back when the frozen Homotherium cub was published, I decided to focus on the adult interpretation, though I knew eventually I would like to do something featuring cubs. And here it is! A nice family portrait. #paleoart #SciArt #artbyjulio

Studies of the elephants for which we actually know what the size and morphology of external ear looks like. From left to right woolly mammoth, asian elephant, savannah elephant, forest elephant. Scaled to around same head size

Hey Bluesky, this is our first post here! Prehistoric Kingdom is a zoo building/management tycoon game with dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, currently in Early Access on Steam and Epic! 🦕Steam (30% off!): bit.ly/pk_steam ➡️ Latest Dev Diary: bit.ly/3Wqev3o 📝 Patreon: bit.ly/4hnK9GM

Work in Progress #Paralititan animation by @tylerstoneart.bsky.social for one of my upcoming videos this year! 🦕

I've got the go ahead to post concept art I did for the Video Game Prehistoric Kingdom. I helped with the design of their Palaeobotany system. First up are the ferns and trees from the 'Coastal' biome. Check out the Dev Diary below to see some of those plants as in-game models!

To give you an idea what kind of landscape Giganthopithecus lived in, and what you can expect next Saturday... #paleostream #sciart #paleoart

Normally, I hate blue on my big predatory theropod dinosaurs, but I gave my T. rex slightly blue-ish highlights, and it’s not… terrible (I still hate blue)

Just to keep things ticking over while I wrestle with Christmas deadlines, here's #paleoart of the American mastodon, sans hair, for which there is virtually no fossil evidence. Mastodon were not denizens of cold climates, like mammoths, and they may have looked very different in life. #sciart

Jefferssons Ground sloth (Megalonyx jeffersonii) and living Two-toed sloth

This morning's blue #PaleoArt, for all the new #Bluesky people, features the Oligocene #whale Ediscetus hunting Spanish mackerel. #SciArt #SciComm

Very speculative painting, but here’s an idea that in some parts where their ranges overlapped, T.rex might have cooperatively mobbed sub-adult Alamosaurus as a hunting strategy! Inspired by lions in the Okavango delta who are able to take down elephants! #paleoart #paleosky #sciart #dinosaurart

A delicious #Tyrannosaurus rex dinner! youtu.be/-Iktb3Mq2nU?...

My latest video on the new #Homotherium_latidens mummy is out! Enjoy! youtu.be/ye0uSjuARmU #homotherium #sabertoothcat #pleistocene #paleoart #iceage

This #Homotherium Cub got lost in the snow. Hopefully nothing bad happens to him... #animation #mummy #iceage #paleoart

Decided to pitch in on the interpretations of the 3 week-old Homotherium cub. What a phenomenal discovery. I'm very excited to see what other research will be published. #paleoart

This would be a little departure, but I'm wondering if I should make a new entry for my cave painting series with the Homotherium figurine now

Homotherium is my favourite cat. Here are some old sketches

New Prehistoric Kingdom video is up on my gaming channel. Enjoy! #Scelidosaurus www.youtube.com/watch?v=txSS...

Introduction 🏔️ My name is Cameron. I’m an artist that enjoys drawing extinct & extant animals. I also like drawing creatures every now and then.

This is a Homotherium appreciation post for no particular reason. #SciArt #paleoart #artbyjulio

I'll be posting more frequently here again once I get in the swing of things. For now, here's a wip of the #Carnotaurus animation for my next video. Artwork was done by me and the animation was done by @tylerstoneart.bsky.social

Walk cycle commission I just finished for @naturescompendium.bsky.social’s next video. Stay tuned 👀 #paleoart #dinosaur #carnotaurus #animation #aftereffects

Be sure to checkout my latest video on the Spiked-Toothed Salmon! I had a lot of fun putting this project together and I'm really happy that so many people seem to be enjoying the video so far! #paleoart #sciart #spikedtoothedsalmon www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qpa...

The three animals featured on the channel this year will be #Dimetrodon, #Carnotaurus, and #Basilosaurus! Each of these animals represents a crazy carnivore from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic era!

Thylacosmilus, Pliocene of South America. #SciArt #artbyjulio

Turf Dispute Done for someone very dear to me whose favorite dinosaur is the Apatosaurus. #artbyjulio #Sciart #paleoart

Skin. Skinnnn. Cave clay + low oxygen + hydrocarbons created some of the oldest skin fossils yet found. I dig in at Smithsonian

At long last, my #Perucetus is finally out! Thank you everyone who has supported me and my channel over the years and I hope this video helps all of us end 2023 on a good note! youtu.be/9IEb3BHT6hw

My video on Perucetus is out now on Patreon! Since this video is coming out Saturday, all tiers including the lower tiers will have access to the early preview! www.patreon.com/posts/peruce...

Mark your calendars & tune in DECEMBER 30TH, 2023 at 10AM CST for my end of the year video on #PERUCETUS! Perucetus was published and described on August 2nd, 2023. In my video filled with beautiful & fun animations, we will learn more about this wonderful animal! www.youtube.com/naturescompe...
