Dsung Intersex Crest I believe that the original sketch (made a few years ago) was brought on by my anger at the invisibility of intersex people in the public eye, along with how their parents often treat them. I had no idea what to do for the background tbh #dsungaripterus #Pterosaur #paleoart

A Smilodon for the ice age. Protect your neighbors. #pleistocene #sabertooth #megafauna #iceage

The image shows a blue Smilodon (a kind of extinct big cat with long canine teeth) roaring to the viewer on a red and orange background. It is framed by the words "CHIN UP" and "FANGS OUT". The style is like a vintage screenprint though the artwork is digital.

Ember chapel A pair of male Spinosaurus emerge from the water after a forest fire Submitted for the Premio Italiano di Paleoarte (didn't win 🥲) #gayleoart #paleoart #sciart thread below🧵

In the morning, two male Spinosaurus emerge from the water into a burnt mangrove forest of Weichselia reticulata, small crabs crawl around their feet, while Anhanguerid pterosaurs investigate from the sky far away. The sun is a soft red against a greyish blue sky due to the smoke from a forest fire, smoke can still be seen arising from the distant landscape.

Continuing my recent trend of #Yanliao beasties, here's an updated, more serious attempt at #Jeholopterus for #FossilFriday!!! The camouflaged colouration is based in #Ginkgo bark, which would have grown in contemporary forests. #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #pterosaur #Jurassic #paleobotany

A mottled grey and brown fluffy pterosaur seen in overheaad view, with its left twing and leg outstretched as if in flight, and it's right wing and leg tucked up as if at rest. The patterning in its body and wings looks like Ginkgo bark and its incredibly fluffy.

Rhamphorhynchus Was intended to be just a sketch but I spent 2 or 3 too many weeks on it. #paleoart #sciart

Ventral view of a Rhamphorhynchus flying under a bright blue sky, wings fully open, while looking down towards the pov.

More @dinoconuk.bsky.social prints. This is it now, I promise. This is Tupandactylus imperator, one of the most spectacular of all #pterosaurs. Some data exists about the crest pigments and the nature of the feather-like fibres on the head. More on this at #Patreon in the near future. #paleoart

I told @cascoclauda.bsky.social if they got a distinction back on their grades this semester I'd paint them a hatzegopteryx. Congrats friendo! They suggested I share some of the WIPS so here's a sketch& color comp. Thanks to @skyemcdavid.com for crits! This is my 1st pterosaur I think? #paleoart

Tupandactylus ~ Tupan finger 🇧🇷👈🏼 . 3/5 complete! . I did originally think about putting a big ‘eye spot’ in the head crest of this pterosaur but I thought it would be interesting to look at how colours and subtle patterning could play a part in its display 👁️

Ok I’ll sign this later but I decided done was better than perfect. A pair of Lycaenops have an argument over a stick. Did you know we have found gorgons with other gorgons teeth embedded in their face, with healing after? It’s true! Anyway, it felt very dog park and I had to make it happen. #sciart

Tropeognathus ~ Keel Jaw 🦷🦅 . The first of my pterosaur collection finished! It’s been interesting to think about the possible colouration/patterns these creatures would have had, especially when their jaws had such a large surface area! . What do you guys think of this first design?
