We have described about twenty species of sauropods in the Iberian Peninsula; it's one of the most abundant dinosaur groups here. One of the latest additions to the list is Garumbatitan, a huge somphospondyl that may have grown to over 20 m in length

Gideonmantellia, although it looks like a strange chicken here, is one of the most basal ornithopods known. A strange and little-known animal whose remains have been discovered in Spain. I hope you like the reconstruction!

Nunca habéis visto un animal como este. Se trata de uno de los dinosaurios acorazados más antiguos que existe. Y estaba cubierto por púas y espinas de una manera jamás vista: ‘Spicomellus afer’ youtu.be/jCMkG5mE02w?...

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

Felt inspired to do a piece inspired by paleoart aesthetics that were common when I was growing up. This is mostly based on a particular one by Mark Hallet, though I think I channeled some other influences as well. #SciArt #paleoart #artbyjulio

What if the tiny ornithopods and their relatives were actually more like strange birds? A look (still WIP) at a slightly different version of Hypsilophodon!

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

First deformation tests of the updated model for Hypsilophodon. Some corrections are needed, but for now the mesh seems to respond well. Now comes the difficult part: giving it a nice texture

This little one has ended up becoming part of a larger composition in which I try to portray sauropods as “motherships” of life, walking biotopes surrounded by other organisms that benefit from their presence

One thing that really amuses me is turning birds of prey into raptors. And since in Spain we don’t yet have any dromaeosaurs (although there are some remains), I present to you my new invention, Iberoraptor necator, which would be something like “Killer thief of Iberia.”

A couple of images of Aragosaurus, a very beloved and important creature for Spanish paleontology, as it is the first dinosaur described here, back in 1986. It is a basal macronarian possibly related (although the extent of this relationship is unclear) to the North American Camarasaurus.

And another quick line drawing, this time of the Iberian diplodocids Demandasaurus (left) and Supersaurus (right)

I'm uploading a quick sketch of Turiasaurus that I made to use in some formatting tests. I'm going to try doing more line art, it's not my comfort zone, but it's never a bad idea to practice other styles

Good morning, here's a quick sketch I put together. I don't usually do line work since it's not my strong suit, but I'm making these heads for something else and thought—why not share them? Hope you like them! #Paleoart

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

I’m sharing a couple of illustrations that are still in WIP phase to show the anatomy of Europelta and Miragaia. For the muscle reference, I used the study Matt Dempsey did on Stegosaurus I hope you like them—it’s just a small idea to help present this kind of information in a very visual way

Over 4,000 followers on Instagram!! That's a lot of people. If you want to follow me there, great—there’s a ton of reconstructions, profiles, and information about the terrible lizards of the Iberian Peninsula!! And thank you so much www.instagram.com/ferrutxo?igs...

Repost = Like! Did I peep this entire feed because I dig good paleoart? Yes. Did I see anything disappointing or uninteresting? No. Am I impressed with the insights into anatomy and behavior, especially for notoriously difficult-to-bring-to-life ankylosaurs, stegosaurs, etc. Absolutely!

Since I’ve already finished the reconstructions of the thyreophorans from the Iberian Peninsula, I’m sharing here a couple of poster-style visualizations showing the different genera and the sites where they can be found Let’s start with the different genera, arranged by clade and size #Paleoart

Absolutely gorgeous art!

Miragaia like you've never seen it before. I've prepared a musculature visualization. It's something I've tried a few times and I like to do with lesser-known dinosaurs or those from the Iberian Peninsula. and what better than Miragaia!! #paleoart

Well, while the world goes to shit because a bunch of people threatened by pronouns and a little black mermaid had to vote for a senile militaristic man, I bring you...dinosaurs! The thyreophorans of the Iberian Peninsula arrive! We start with a Dracopelta and her baby taking a walk #paleoart

A male Stegosaurus approaches a female, who, as a warning, adopts a defensive position by lowering its head and swinging its tail. The male should approach facing the ground with its tail lowered. When the female replicates this position, it will signal that she accepts the approach #Paleoart

The new version of Stegosaurus. It's not that I don't like the old one, but for practical purposes, this one is more suitable for a "real" animal #paleoart

Hey, some quick renders to introduce you to Stegosaurus, especially the model (although it's still a WIP, the plates still need work), because I'm not sure if the color is right... I really like the combination, but I might rule it out #paleoart

It's mating season, and two enormous Dacentrurus males are fighting for access to the group of females. In their previous display of strength, neither of them has retreated, so they move on to the next phase, a physical fight in which they try to knock their opponent down by shoving #paleoart

And once Miragaia is finished, Dacentrurus arrives, one of the largest known stegosaurs, and closely related to its Portuguese brother #paleoart

I decided to redo this image because it obviously has a lot of flaws. I like the idea of ​​the scene, but the finish is a mess, so I remade it. As is my usual Photoshop style...I actually have no fucking idea what I'm doing, but here's a new version #paleoart

The nocturnal wanderings of a Miragaia specimen are interrupted when it enters a meadow and finds itself surrounded by a swarm of fireflies #Paleoart

Miragaia is almost finished (still a WIP), I have a love/hate relationship with because it's a highly represented animal with very beautiful images. So, since it's difficult to live up to expectations, I've opted not to embrace the "Mesozoic pincushion" aesthetic #paleoart

Coming soon

One thing I really like to do with some of my models is muscle studies. Visually, they look beautiful, you can create very striking setups, and, above all, you learn something about anatomy, even if it's in a somewhat unusual way #Paleoart
