Updating Rhomaleosaurus thorntoni for DinoCon. This fella was very smooth beforehand and I felt a bit of visual interest was needed. Hoping to wrap this up today and get him ready for printing asap!

Oldest vs. newest of my ankylosaur models (to scale): Struthiosaurus austriacus and Ankylosaurus magniventris!

Big Ank is assembled! Bringing her to @dinoconuk.bsky.social fully painted up!

Alright, first 1/20 print of Ankylosaurus magniventris is looking promising! Now just hoping all parts printed properly, this one will be the display piece for @dinoconuk.bsky.social !

This illustration is getting some more love lately, so here‘s a reminder that I‘ll be bringing some prints of it to @dinoconuk.bsky.social in July!

Weichselia reticulata, Cretaceous fern. Dusting off my SpeedTree knowledge.

This. 1.000 times this.

The only skull work I will be bringing to @dinoconuk.bsky.social this year. Aquilops americanus, currently finalising shapes and re-working the details before I go into production! This little guy will be life sized at around 12cm in length!

Outline brush and crayon brush.

Happy world turtle day, one of the few important holidays in my calendar.

This is the most anti-autism piece of cutlery I have as of yet found here.

Due to its popularity, I went back in and adjusted some proportions, mostly on the head, with some skull reference pictures in the back. I think I will work on this some more. Left new, right old.

It appears that this feller is rather popular. Understandably so, but I am still surprised 👀🫶🏻

In 1927, the last wild European bison was shot. The bison was fully extinct in the wild, surviving only in zoos. A century later, thousands roam Europe again. Proof that conservation can work and that even seemingly doomed species can make a comeback.

No reference morning coffee doodle.

Look who came out of the toaster just fine! I had the files already pre-cut apparently, so just set it up for printing. 1/35 scale and the scales on the head came out really nice!

Not like I have a bazillion other things to do, but... 👀 The queen herself. She is beauty, she is grace. No other specimen will ever come close to the satisfaction I get of looking at the (reconstructed, mind) silhouette of FMNH PR 2081.

Iguanodon bernissartensis in 1/35 scale assembled and squaring up to the Ankylosaurus in the same scale. :)

This already looks CRISP!!!

This is so good

Still very much enjoying the wrinkles I did on this sculpt. Pose is underway for printing!

If any UK based vendors going to @dinoconuk.bsky.social could reach out: I am thinking of sending some merch ahead of time to avoid chaos (and anxiety) during flying, any help in having me send some 3D-prints and bringing them to the venue for me would be greatly appreciated!

These are the results of the poll. The people have spoken! I shall set up Iguanodon next, then finish Suchomimus and finally prepare the test prints for Styracosaurus!

While the poll for prints to bring to @dinoconuk.bsky.social is still open (poll-maker.com/poll5776264x...), I also found a second pose of Styracosaurus albertensis that I never printed myself! Will definitely set that one up for a test run soon.

Interesting distribution so far. I'll leave this poll up for a bit to see where it goes! poll-maker.com/poll5776264x...

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

I'm trying to see which 3D prints would be most desired for me to prepare for @dinoconuk.bsky.social, next to the ones I have already set up. Please vote for your favourites and what you'd like me to bring along! poll-maker.com/poll5776264x...

Hi! I am a bird artist!

Little morning sketch of Cricket.

The devil doesn't sleep and since I often don't either, it is time to update the potato. Been on the backburner for too long and should be available for DinoCon too, permitted the bureaucracy gods are merciful.

Call for help: If anyone has prior experience for vending at conventions in the UK as a non-UK-resident or citizen, could you please reach out? I am currently trying to brave the UK government webpages to figure out how to legally stay within what's sensible for me as a business to vend at DinoCon!

Get your exclusive pet rock!

Austria Comic Con, table A107! Come visit us!

Stickers and some more 3D prints!

People keep telling me that my door is broken, looks normal to me.

This is the most detailed 3D rendering of a eukaryotic cell to date, obtained using X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy datasets. 🔬🧪

Last test build before Austria Comic Con!

Get yourself the cutest Spinosaurus mirabilis plushie ever!

it's not a coincidence that a lot of great artists of history were recognized posthumously. people hate paying respect to art if the artist is alive. that means the artist has needs, like money, food, shelter. but if they're dead, the art is free to be fostered in your hearts without responsibility

Business cards and table runner arrived!

Daffodil is assembled! Minimal warping, only minor gaps between the parts and the details came out phenomenal. Extremely pleased with this, even Skadi thinks it‘s good (I think she might want to eat it though)! Three more printed overnight and from what I could see so far, all is good there too!

Oh Neil, never change.

So far, so good! Now to see HOW good.

And now we wait. 1/35 test print is running!

And she is done! At least the sculpting part. Everyone, meet Daffodil. Now to set her up for posing and slicing her apart for printing! @dinoconuk.bsky.social here we go!

It's high time I create a proper reference sheet for Cricket. She's pretty much the only fleshed out dinosaur OC I have.

Men: don't be sociopaths. Thanks.

My wrist would like to issue a formal complaint. Yes, I am hand carving each scale individually because I, too, am a servant to my autism. I don't even want to spend too much thought on the fact that I will then be going over most of these again for detailing and contrast. Sheesh.

In case you are wondering: this is how I punish myself for my hubris. Every single scale hand drawn because it simply gives me the best flow to their layout. And they will get a second pass for details and structure. My hands hate me. :D
