we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Archaeocursor asiaticus for #DrawDinosDaily here taking a sit-down from all the running. I added the little head portrait after I decided I wanted to get deeper into speculative head wattles for this guy. Ornamentation like that is common in modern cursorial birds. 🎨🪶 #SciArt #PaleoArt

Really taken with Haolong dongi, out today from Jiandong Huang, Pascal Godefroit and team. Just submitted news article on it. An iguanodontian with abundant hollow spikes across the neck and body, projecting from among conventional basement scales, and with rows of plate-like scales along the tail.

A new look inside the mouth of Archaeopteryx has revealed striking similarities with modern birds. 🦖🐦️ #ornithology

This little Black-throated Blue Warbler isn't gonna get used for her original intended purpose so here she is for Warbler Wednesday! 🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

For #FossilFriday: After many, many years of absence, I've finally restored a working print store to my website markwitton.co.uk. There are over 120 #paleoart prints to choose from, and I'll periodically add new pieces over time (or older pieces at request, but serious inquiries only, please!).

Hey gang! I'm open for just about any kind of critter or OC you'd like to throw my way! I've done a wide variety of different types over the years and love trying new things too. I'll cut you a deal if given artistic freedom, too! Here's just a small sampling of some of the different ones I've done

I drawed a dinosaur. #SciArt

Quick sketch of Zavacephale rinpoche, a new pachycephalosaur from Early Cretaceous Asia #paleoart #dinosaur

A tiny Jurassic pterosaur, Bellubrunnus, wingspan, less than a foot (its head is the size of my fingernail)

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

It's finally here! The next #Sketchasaur short starring the always-charismatic Spinosaurus, whose 'true colors' came out when we viewed it through the water. Let me know what you think! #Sciart #Blender3D #ArtistOnBluesky #Animation

There is a hotpot of contributing factors but 100% because of the total vacancy of class awareness, folks hold to the propaganda that all poor people are unskilled labourers & when they see a skilled artist there is this immediate perception they belong to a certain economic bracket

Gold Foil Birds Stamp Washi These were some birds that reminded me of my childhood back when I was living in China #washitape #stationary

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

Mononykus based loosely on a melanistic barn owl #paleoart

Tried twice to post about the mall exhibit that's set up until the end of September, but both times bsky crashed rather than upload the photos. :/

Got some sale guys this month Sinosauropteryx is 27 inches and $220 Tianyulong is 29 inches long, $250, Yi's are 11 and 10 inches long, $200

Well, in the end I decided to make my own reconstruction of Spicomellus, the trendiest dino right now because… well, because it’s just amazing. What an incredible animal. And what a challenge it was to model it

Just for fun, some #paleoart of Ichthyosaurus communis predating belemnites. I deliberately left the brushwork on this one a little looser than usual to give a sense of speed and movement. #sciart #ichthyosaur #fossil #paleontology

QRP with your animal paintings 🫵

just looked at this on my phone and screamed lmao please look at a better-quality image here: www.furaffinity.net/view/61655190/

Behold! My most complex animated project to date! I learned a lot about Deinonychus and NPR rendering through this, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. What else can we do with this style? Stay tuned! #animation #sciart #Blender3D #Paleoart

Afrotapejara, with two juveniles. #paleoart #sciart #paleostream #pterosaurs

Backlog: Albino Terrestrisuchus. This one had like 12 different watered down colors separated by layers of modge podge, not that it showed in photos

This cute bee backpack plushie was completed some time ago for their owner! All her limbs are poseable as well as her antennae. Those eyes? I 3D modelled, had them printed, then cast replicas in resin and painted/sealed all by hand. They're hollow but durable!

seasons greasons everyone

Backlog: Aphaneramma Big fan of when evolution makes crocodiles out of whatever was lying around

Great horned owl in watercolor. I think I’ll spend the rest of the year painting owls. They’re such an exciting subject to capture in watercolor. #birds #birdart #watercolor #owls

Once again, I'm pleading with authors not to use AI-generated covers. I keep seeing them being shared. I'm not going to buy your book if you do, and I'm not going to share your posts about them.

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar, day 20 - time to really kick off the Christmas stuff now! Here's Santa Spood from a couple years back, a cheery fluffy Habronattus #spider perched on a Christmas ornament inside someone's tree. He's bringing all the best gifts! #invertebrates 🎨🐡🕷️🎄

Pterosaurs being gracile

Ancient Wing. Archaeopteryx lithographica, an illustration for the Dinosaurs: Surviving Extinction exhibition.

NEW PAPER! Fossils are usually associated with bones, but soft tissues, such as skin, can be preserved. In this study, we use lasers to recover invisible, mysterious 150-million-year-old tissue decorating the tails of the first flying vertebrates, the pterosaurs. 🧵

Backlog: Old sale pieces that I still like

I missed some chances for more #repostober :( I'll just post more old art without the hashtag from now on 😅 #artwork
