No. I don’t just draw dinosaurs! These illustrations were commissioned for the Feeding Without Jaws Exhibition at @lapworthmuseum.bsky.social Check out their website - www.birmingham.ac.uk/events/feedi... - for more details of the exhibition, which runs until the end of February. (1/4)

(3/4) By the time I’d finished, I had become absolutely fascinated by these bizarre, ancient animals. Dinosaurs get all the attention (and yeah, they are cool) but it’s worth remembering that the story of prehistoric life is much richer and more complex.

Old #paleoart depicting a small prehistoric equid dressed up as the racehorse American Pharoah. Eohippus was pretty small & would've given off more "small tapir or forest deer" vibes than this. I still like the idea though

First post here i'm MPD i love draw cool stuff nice to meet you all!😁 สวัสดีจ้า จริงๆสมัครไว้นานจนเกือบลืมไปแล้ว555 ฝากตัวด้วยครับ จะค่อยๆลงงานเก่าและใหม่ๆ ในนี้และเพจเฟสด้วย

Raptor rider I've never draw dinosaur before and to be honest it looked better in my head lol, oh well at least i did try. #art #fantasy #dinosaur

hello late #PortfolioDay !! I'm Avi! Full time artist, doing direction (and many other things) in animation, and paleoart in my free time. I'd be happy to work on scientific illustrations and reconstructions! I do both extant and extinct animals and i'm open for some work rn :) #sciart #paleoart

Another ancient Greek vase from an alternative history in which humans were more gentle to the world around them. A group of Candiacervus, endemic Cretan deer, taking part in a spring festival. I imagine them as tame but not domesticated, like the famous deer in Nara, Japan.

Third ancient Greek vase from an alternative timeline with less destructive humanity. In this religious scene, Athene, goddess of wisdom, carries a giant Cretan owl, one of the extinct endemic Cretan animals. They are trailed by little owls (Athene noctua), which is Athene’s symbol in real life.

I've been drawing scenes of ancient Greeks interacting with endemic Cretan fauna, but Crete had an even older civilization - the Minoans. In this alternative version of the Bull-Leaping Fresco, people are dancing with and offering a drink to Candiacervus major, a large native deer of the island.

This is a piece done before our #paleostream formation series started, I did it for purely educational purposes. The Jialingjiang formation is for me one of the most interesting Triassic formations, not just because it's the only place where we find hupehsuchians. #paleoart #sciart #triassic

2024年終作品總結 Art summary of 2024

Results from the last #paleostream of the year! Acheronauta, Diatryma, Hadrosteus and Imperobator (wing mobility is rather speculative).

Assortment of some of the heaviest birds that ever lived! #paleoart #birds #animals #art

Jawless friends. Early Devonian fishes showing the astonishing diversity vertebrates had even back before the evolution of jaws. Based on 3D models by @villesinkkonen.bsky.social I'm amused by the warlike names of these small animals: spear-shield, knife-shield, Boreas's shield and sickle-shield.

Have yourself a merry little Carboniferous. #Art #SciArt #PaleoArt #Inverts

If things had gone differently. Palaeoloxodon creutzburgi, one of the several elephants that used to live on Mediterranean islands, greeting a baby in an Ancient Greek vase. Small island elephants around the world went extinct around the time of human arrival, but I wonder, what if they didn’t.

Cool! :D I've also done a lot of art in that direction (tho I do a bunch of other things too)

I've been away, so am late to welcome folks fleeing X. For newbies: Hi, I'm Mark, I research, illustrate and write about extinct life, especially #dinosaurs and #pterosaurs. I'm known for my #paleoart and have consulted on, and designed creatures for, lots of your favourite dinosaur documentaries.

'I'm Nobody' Kulindadromeus and Unicorn (With Emily Dickinson) Pencil on Moleskine sketchbook paper, 208 × 125 mm. A good reminder to myself, too, whenever I start feeling ill used by the vagaries of social media. 🥲 Original artwork available at auction. 🙏 www.facebook.com/share/p/1D6j...

Ammonites - a great success story of Mesozoic seas. Inspired by watching Fran Vidaković's short talk on them in PaleoStreamCon, an online event organized by @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social back in spring.

A very random drawing that combines two of my favourite things - palaeontology and Greece. An entelodont - a giant hoofed predator from about 20 million years ago - depicted in the style of the Bull-Leaping Fresco, a famous artwork from the Knossos Palace in Crete, painted some 3450 years ago.

In a world full of complicated problems and bad news, it's good to once in a while do something that's simply nice - such as draw dinosaurs and share them with others. Miragaia and Kentrosaurus, approximately to scale with each other and the 180 cm tall human silhouette.

The rhinos we have and the ones we lost. In the late Pleistocene, about two thirds of the worlds terrestrial megafauna went extinct. Rhinos fared better than average, but still, all the temperate and cold climate species are gone. Those that remain are endangered and in dire need of protection.

Where did our lost rhinos roam? Distribution charts based on bone finds (individual dots) and habitat suitability for the four fluffy rhinos of late Pleistocene. These are of course approximate and might not include all obscure finds. #Sciart

I created this painting "Dinosaur Parade" in 1990, before I invented the whole concept of Dinotopia. I just wanted to give a glimpse of a lost empire that humans shared with peaceful dinosaurs. Jumping through that picture frame and living inside the painting changed my life.

There were two versions of Waterfall City. The first was in "Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time" (1992). The second was called "Waterfall City: Afternoon Light, published in "D: Journey to Chandara" (2007). So....Which BTS would you like to see tomorrow: prelim sketches, maquettes, or plein-airs?

🦋First Bluesky art train 🚂🧑‍🎨 Thank you @herbeherbe.bsky.social for the tagging ! I like to draw historical OCs, mainly Chinese history for now~ 🦋tags: @ccjzsbs9.bsky.social @eunuchboy.bsky.social @bobaklepon.bsky.social @exiaax.bsky.social @akinomeka.bsky.social

A while ago I did a short series of illustrations showing extinct species coexisting with still living ones in my home country of Brazil, as would have happened around 15-10k years ago. #paleoart #SciArt #artbyjulio

'Princess Joveta sends her grateful thanks to her friend the great Khan for his kind gift of her new pet Velociraptor, with whom she is delighted. Isambart now responds to his name, is taking well to training, and bids fair to becoming a very fine hunter.'

Results from the Flocking #paleostream Lambeosaurus, Microraptor, Innovatiocaris and Haplocheirus.

Just noticed that Bluesky has now drag and drop! Which means I will probably be more active here now ^^ Here the results from yesterdays #paleostream: Drepanosaurus, Ostenoselache, Schinderhannes and Cronopio.

Results of the last #SharkWeek #paleostream! Hagenoselache, Edaphodon, Titanonarke and Onychoselache.

I really like painting ammonites. They really fit the "Endless forms most beautiful..." quote. :3 Here some recent examples, not even the weirdest ones.
