When I saw the Titanosaur exhibition at NHM London with friends, @dinomaster.bsky.social suggested I drew a Pudgy Patagotitan. I had a hard time pudgifying what is already _beyond_ pudgy, and could have pushed the exaggeration much further. I merely ended up with a short-legged titanosaur.

Ink drawing of a Patagotitan with, despite earnest attempts, only slightly exaggerated proportions, seen in side view, facing and walking towards the right. It has a gently silly expression at least.

At the beginning of the month Drexel University made public that they want to close the Academy of Natural Sciences at the end of the month. The academy is the oldest natural history museum in the Americas and this would end more than 200 years of research and outreach.

A little look behind the scenes of the design process of the Future Fossils Megalosaurus! I started out by sculpting a generalised naturalistic reconstruction of the skeleton, much as I have done in previous works. 🧵(1/3)

This Thursday’s episode of Surviving Earth dealt with GABI (the Great American Biotic Interchange). I was entrusted with designing several animals including the gigantic ground sloth Eremotherium eomigrans. I am really fond of ground sloths and I love reconstructing them! #paleoart #SurvivungEarth

I _did not_ appreciate Mahler making me jump out of my skin with the final orchestral crash of _Das klagende Lied_ as I was carefully touching up the beak. That could have gone so very wrong indeed. 😬😅 (The head without the frill is about 4cm long.)

A juvenile Diplodocus is slipping out post-bedtime for a late #FossilFriday post. Like other Mesozoic dinosaurs, young diplodocids were proportioned differently than adults, bearing shorter necks, faces and tails. The mottled skin pattern is based on (very tentative) palaeocolour data. #paleoart

Vignette of a green juvenile long-necked dinosaur striding down a dusty, rocky and cycady slope. "Cycady" is not a word recognised in any modern dictionary, but it was widely used in the Jurassic. It's OK, therefore, to use it in this context.

Updated some old #paleoart of Pelorosaurus for an upcoming project. The first versions of this image scarily date to 2013 and 2015. Pelorosaurus is an Early Cretaceous British titanosauriform, but we don't know much about its proportions or appearance. Silhouettes FTW! #sciart #fossil #paleontology

Three long-necked dinosaurs walk across a mudflat against the setting sun. It's lightly raining, but stormier weather is visible in the distance. The dinosaurs are seen almost in full silhouette, and crocodylian-like reptiles are barely visible in the lower right. Two of the sauropods bicker like an old married couple. It's _always_ Middle Sauropod's fault, no matter what. Poor Middle Sauropod.

Three sauropods in a windstorm, the 2015 version of my Pelorosaurus image. There are rainbows.

Three green sauropods in extremely heavy rain, as depicted in 2013. The vestige of trees can be seen behind some very heavily rendered precipitation. Less is more, 2013 Mark.

decked out in her breeding plumage, arizona's most eligible dilophosaurus debutante takes a much-needed rest by a stream. who knew that competing for a mate could be such an exhausting endeavour? #paleoart comm by @literallymiguel.bsky.social

the double-crested theropod dilophosaurus rests by a stream in the shade of a tree, with some slender sauropodomorphs and pterosaurs in the background, which shows a forest and a canyon. her plumage is mostly black to dark grey, with a slightly lighter underbelly, flecked throughout with lilac-white highlights. there is a ring of blue skin around her eye, and her crest is sulphur-yellow with black vertical stripes.

Drawing of a Saltasaurus with its back to the viewer in three-quarter view, wearing a voluminous sash around its waist, in which is stuck a profusion of swords whose hilts are carved as the heads of various dinosaurs and pterosaurs. It also wears a tricorn hat trimmed with long feathers and carries a spear.

A bit of silliness from 2021. Kong's first line is taken directly from the 2007 BBC adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford.

Single-panel comic drawn in brown pencil. Godzilla and King Kong sit facing each other on mounds of rocks, taking tea, with an elegant tea set on the ground between them.
Kong: 'What is all this agitation? Are the summer gloves come in?'
Godzilla, waving an unfolded letter with a ribbon and sealing wax: 'Why, an invitation, to be sure! To Mothra's garden party!'
Kong: *Gasp!*

When reconstructing an critterthis poorly known, I tend to go for a more conservative appearance, taking into account relatives from similar times/places. Unfortunately, footprints are incredibly difficult to assign, and ornithopod footprints aren't dissimilar from theropod ones.

Size comparison between an indeterminate iguanodontian, Alanqa, Spinosaurus, an indeterminate titanosaur, Afrotapejara, Carcharodontosaurus, Apatorhamphus, Deltadromeus, Leptostomia, an indeterminate abelisaur, an indeterminate dromaeosaur, Axelrodichthys and myself.

I once posed the question on the other place, "What, for you, is a 'typical' bird?" The sparrow was the most common answer. It was mine, too. I see them less often these days in London, but they were in overwhelming abundance in my childhood in Chiang Mai.
