I'M BACK !!! This is Leefructus, one of the oldest flower plant, with an indetermined species of Oregramma, a kalligrammatid from the Yixian formation (China, 124 MA). This butterfly-like insect fed on the first flowers of the dinosaur era. #paleoart #SciArt #insect #cretaceous #flower #china

Meet Eomaia scansoria, the first unambigous eutherian mammal known. He lives in China, Yixian formation, 125 millions years ago. This digital painting was a real torture to pull off—especially when it came to choosing the colors—but the hard work paid off (1/2) #paleoart #SciArt #cretaceous #mammal

It doesn't need to immobilize the entire body of this large prey to finish it off with its fearsome canines #paleoart #SciArt #smilodon #cenozoic #camel #cat #UnitedStates

Something about Rhamphorhynchus has puzzled me for the past few days: Why do all paleoarts depict it as being active during the day, like gulls? Yet, Rhamphorhynchus has been theorized to be a NOCTURNAL animal, but no one art depicted him in the night #pterosaur #rhamphorhynchus #jurassic #mesozoic

Here it is! Please welcome the AMAZING Mirasaura grauvogeli, a NEW MARVELOUS Drepanosaur published in NATURE today! This astonishing reptile lived during the Middle Triassic in Europe and it possessed an amazing crest made of plume-like structures! I was commissioned to bring it to life #paleoart

Realising that #FossilFriday is sneaking away, so I'll quickly post some #paleoart of the giant #pterosaur Hatzegopteryx to avoid missing out. I painted this back in 2019 but gave it a 30-minute spruce up today to sort out some compositional and colour issues. #sciart #fossil

"It's... pink" says Guybrush Pthreepwood, a large pterosaur walking along a rocky trail overlooking a coastal plain and sea. The sky beyond is yellowish, but Guybrush is right: that's a super pink set of clouds. Undeterred, he walks on, continuing his quest for the Ultimate Insult. He hopes Murray the Skull is some sort of cool dinosaur skull in this universe.
