The Sun King. A tyrannosaur catching some afternoon rays in the forest. A new illustration that I’ve just finished (at least until I decide to go back and mess with it some more!) #SciArt

I worked on a paper about animating Rhamphorhynchus from last summer to February, about time I post about it! (🧵1/7) #paleoart #sciart

I have a dream video game where you play as the vengeful spirit of the Spinosaurus holotype destroyed during the bombing of Munich, and inspired by Stromer (who was strongly against the Nazis) goes John Wick against the entire Nazi party, hunting them down at various historical locations.

New at #Patreon: #paleoart of Cretaceous fireflies and #Spinosaurus mirabilis. Fireflies have existed for 100 million years and, thanks to some cool science, we know what colours they illuminated themselves with. Details (+ more new art) at www.patreon.com/markwitton. #dinosaur #fossil #art

Registered for NERVES 2026 and submitted talk about Cretaceous Toothed Pterosaurs, featuring complex historical nomenclature and a lost specimen that was recently rediscovered. See you on April 10 in the greatest city in the world!

Lizards: recommended 👍

Makes sense that the metaverse is shutting down given that I stole their biggest spokesperson for tomodachi life

Really wonderful display of a mother Hadrosaurus defending her young from a Dryptosaurus.

Look at my fesh #Art #SciArt

EVERY CURRENT ART OF THIS ANIMAL IS WRONG!!!!!!! for this to have the normal tail its usually depicted with, it would need a string of like 150 caudal vertebrae, instead of the expected 30-40 it had big manual claws and a big bone support for a MEAN angry brow over the eye

We finished prep on the Tylosaurus that we excavated in May! 28 linear feet of murder lizard.

YOU 🫵 Yes, you! Tell me your favorite pterosaur!

Is that a fully preserved dromeasaurid tail 👀

Result from the Djadochta Formation #paleostream! This iconic place gave me a fantastic challenge, not just in terms of environment but also because besides the dinosaur the really cool stuff from here is actually rather small. I ended up with a rather unusual composition...

cw // medical talk A medically necessary procedure is about to bleed me dry, so just a little reminder that my commissions are open! I can even bundle things and offer discounts. Anything helps. Thank you so much! ▶️ drive.google.com/file/d/1vmHH...

Not sure if I said this before, but I really love this Carcharodontosaurus. It may not have fought Spinosaurus like it did in Planet Dinosaur, it may have had limited screen time, but it still ended up being one of, if not my favorite depiction of this family of theropods.

Looking through old photos of Lyme Regis, taken 2013, it pains me greatly to see that Richard Bizley (shop/gallery window shown here) was selling the Safari 2009 #Spinosaurus at that time... and I didn't get it :(

Visit to the mountain A Zhejiangopterus climbs to the mountaintop, where the view is higher than any it had ever seen on its own wings. Inspired by the Tang dynasty travelogue “My First Visit to the Western Hill” by Liu Zongyuan (始得西山宴遊記 柳宗元) #paleoart #sciart

🦖 Daily Paleo 🦖; Gnathomortis stadtmani From Late Cretaceous Mancos Shale, Colorado, "jaws of death 💀" (hell yeah!) is a genus of 10 meter long mosasaur originally considered a species of Prognathodon. Its teeth were likely hidden by gum tissue when not attacking Art by DehautNathan

Really old illustrations, but Megatherium looks nice in black with a white stripe.

Retro-Chinese palaeoart Dsungaripterus weii, from one of the first reports on Chinese pterosaurs, by Yang Zhongjian, aka the "Father of Chinese Vertebrate Paleontology" from 1964. You can find the panel mounting of the associated skeleton in the Beijing Palaeozoological Museum. Art by W. L. Shen.

This hatchling encounters a fully grown Tyrannosaurus rex on a winter morning - 12 metres long and 8 tonnes. The little one will never attain such colossal stature - he has a gloriously different destiny ahead of him. #sciart #paleoart

Thanatotheristes is a late Cretaceous tyrannosaur whose name means 'Reaper of death.' I couldn't help this image of it in Grim Reaper guise popping into my head. Brown pencil on plain notebook paper, 125 × 190 mm, 2020. #Halloween #Samhain

I choose to believe this will be coming out November 5th 2025, as it is The Summoning that will occur as predicted by famed stuff enjoyer Big Yellow. That is all.

🦖 Daily Paleo 🦖; Balaenognathus maeuseri From Late Jurassic Torleite Formation, Germany, "whale jaw" is a pterosaur notable for its spatula-like jaws that were toothless at the tip but sported hundreds of curved needle teeth on the sides making it impossible to fully close its mouth
