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

Look at that pretty stegosaur.

WELCOME BACK, MIRAGAIA 🥳 new material from portugal - along with a review of prior material - has led costa et al. to conclude that miragaia is distinct from dacentrurus, listing over a dozen differences between the genera repositorio.lneg.pt/entities/pub... (art by @ferrutxoart.bsky.social)

A female Gideonmantellia pauses for a moment to watch over her young. She is an attentive mother, and although the chicks are capable of feeding and fending for themselves, during the early stages of their growth they will be accompanied and watched over by their parents

Had the pleasure of working on the press release image for this groundbreaking research!

And after some color corrections (oversaturated greens, which can happen when viewing on a monitor and then on other devices), a more definitive version of this little Mesozoic gazelle!

A Hypsilophodon runs and jumps nimbly over a rotten log. Small and defenseless, these animals rely on speed as their greatest ally, and it could be said that they are designed to run

Here I bring you the recreation of Eousdryosaurus, a small Portuguese dryosaurid, quite similar in principle to Dryosaurus, which has served as a model for the proportions (we only know its hind legs) and an addition of filamentous protofeathers.

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

A bit of line drawing with this Miragaia that has survived a few battles

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
