Two Draconyx sleep in a small hollow where the vegetation shields them from prying eyes. Draconyx individuals can rest for short periods without needing to lie down, but to achieve deep, restorative sleep they must lie down for at least a couple of hours in a protected area

Two tiny Foskeia are wandering through the undergrowth when one of them suddenly stops to scratch its face and relieve the itching caused by the mites parasitizing it.

A family group of pareisactus enjoy the river during the hottest hours of the day. The water is not only used for drinking, but also provides an opportunity for a refreshing swim that helps control parasites and serves as an activity to establish and reinforce the different roles within the group

As is tradition every time I finish a series of models, it’s time to show them off in large-format prints, and here are the ornithopods, which have caused quite a few headaches

By the way, I’ve had the immense honor of being featured again in *Koprolitos*, this time in the second volume on the dinosaurs of the Iberian Peninsula, which is dedicated to the thyreophores...

Finished models of the small Iberian lambeosaurs Blasisaurus and Arenysaurus. We have little general information about their crests, so I’ve opted for a very standard, basic model in the absence of fossils that would give us a more accurate picture.

Here's a work-in-progress of Arenysaurus, a small hadrosaur from northern Spain. It's also one of my color and texture designs that, for some reason, is one of my favorites.

It's Monday afternoon, so what better way to kick off the week than with a dinosaur? That's why I'm introducing you to Pararhabdodon, the first hadrosaur—or “duck-billed” dinosaur—to be described on the Iberian Peninsula

One more thing about this. When I say that I’m doing everything on this project, I don’t just mean recreating the animals, writing the text, and designing the pages—I’m also consulting the original publications for information on things like available remains and archaeological sites

Well, since they've finally sent me the revisions, I can now post the finished version of the second volume of Iberian dinosaurs for anyone who wants to download it. Next up are the thyreophores—the spiky ones, you know drive.google.com/file/d/1HCKa...

Morelladon was the first dinosaur genus described in Morella. Although this city was one of the first places where dinosaur remains were discovered in Spain, it had to wait more than a century to have its own dinosaur, and finally, in 2015, the description of this ornithopod was published

Did you know that Spain is one of the few places where dinosaur perinatal remains have been found? Of course not, most Spaniards don't know it either, but it's true: we have a dozen tiny and precious newborn Iguanodon galvensis.

By the way, the site where Proa’s remains were found is the Santa María Mine, an open-pit coal mine that has also yielded the remarkably complete remains of another Iberian dinosaur, Europelta carbonensis

Proa Valdearinnoensis is a rare basal iguanodontid that lived “out of step with its time” alongside much more advanced relatives in what is now Teruel, Spain. It is fairly well known, as we have remains from nearly twenty individuals from a single site

To no one's surprise, I'm going to talk about... dinosaurs!! This is an important discovery, because there are only two recognized species of Iguanodon: bernissartensis, which is the best known and most popular, and this one, Galvensis, found in Galve, a small town in Spain

Well, speaking of cool things, a while back I was contacted to do some illustrations for a dinosaur trail in Morella, and I can finally show you the little creatures Morella is the first town in Spain where dinosaur remains were discovered back in the 19th century, so it’s quite symbolic

A new version of the illustration I had created for Miragaia—and finally, an idea that didn't work before now looks much better

Some of you have the first volume I wrote on Iberian dinosaurs, which focuses on sauropods. Well, I’m currently working on the text and layout for volume two, which covers the thyreophores of the Iberian Peninsula.

We have to be honest about reality and speak plainly. Iguanodon is incredibly sexy

I suppose you've all wondered at some point how many basal ornithopods we have on the Iberian Peninsula. Well, don't worry, I've made a couple of illustrations that can help you answer that question

Did you know that there are three or maybe four taxa on the Iberian Peninsula that are very similar to Iguanodon? No, of course not, most people who live here have no idea either. And the first one I have reconstructed is Magnananus, a large animal discovered in Soria, in northern Spain.

Let's take a look at today's Iberian dinosaur, which brings us to the slightly more advanced ornithopods with Draconyx, possibly a basal member of Ankylopollexia, although we actually know very little about this Portuguese dinosaur, as only part of a hind limb and teeth have been recovered.

Everyone is busy creating paleoart of the new spinosaur, but the truth is that a couple of weeks ago, the description of Foskeia was published, a very strange rhabdodontid found in northern Spain that is already one of the smallest dinosaurs

Yes, every paleoartist in the world is currently drawing this little animal, so I didn't want to be left behind and I made my own version, because some friends were involved in its discovery, so we have to give them the tribute they deserve!!

Os presento, con toda mi ilusión, aSpinosaurus mirabilis/ el primero de los dinos que ha salido de la Expedición a Niger en 2022 #NigerExp2022 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

La verdad es que es un honor que en Koprolitos se hagan eco de "Saurópodos Ibéricos", si, son unos frikis maravillosos, pero sobre todo, unos cacho de profesionales Muy muy orgulloso y agradecido @koprolitos.bsky.social

It's Valentine's Day, and well, in case you didn't know, there's nothing that works better with your crush than a free guide in Spanish on Iberian sauropods. They won't understand a word, but they'll appreciate the gesture!

This is REALLY nice!

El trabajo que se ha marcado aquí el compañero es alucinante. Dadle difusión y mir, y sobre todo disfrutadlo mucho.

🦕Libro sobre los saurópodos ibéricos, trabajazo de @ferrutxoart.bsky.social. ¡Enhorabuena, ha quedado genial!😄 Añado hashtags para difusión #paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs

Well, after a lot of struggle with image formats and my own embarrassment, I have made A BOOK (well, it's a PDF, let me have my moment) about the sauropods of the Iberian Peninsula. Links at the end of the thread

A couple of renders to show experiments with hair made using curves in Blender. I was very used to the particle system and couldn't quite get the hang of this, but guys, it looks like this has a huge number of options. PS: It's a WIP, maybe the final result will look like the second image.

A herd of Rhabdodon moves through the forest in its search for food. It is a fairly generalist herbivore that does not hesitate to feed on almost any kind of low vegetation. Its relatively large size requires a higher consumption, which makes it less selective than its smaller thin-snouted relatives

Night falls in a forest at the end of the Jurassic, and a group of Eousdryosaurus leave their daytime shelter to begin their period of activity. Small and defenseless, this ornithopod has acquired nocturnal habits, where, sheltered by the darkness, its large eyes allow it to monitor its surroundings
