Sketches of the Triassic cynodont Chiniquodon to warm up for an art request. The speculative coat pattern is inspired by marsupials like thylacines and Tasmanian devils. #art #animal #creature #paleoart

Deinonychus was a genus of dromaeosaur that lived in late Cretaceous North America. One of the most significant taxa in the history of dinosaur paleontology, Deinonychus fossils helped reshape the way we think of dinosaurs as active, warm-blooded animals.

Some thoughts relating to the gradual but very apparent normalisation of genAI image use in the public display sector:

An unfortunate reality for those of us creating art for the public display sector is that third parties hired by the same clients we initially produced the art for may run our work through some level of genAI slop machine, even if we try everything in our power to prevent it.

I have friends that this has happened to in circumstances that were completely beyond their control, yet have still received the brunt of the response, with the actual guilty parties remaining anonymous, and the lack of due diligence on the client's part remaining uncriticised.

So, given I'm stepping further into the public display sector, I want to make something very clear now:

If you ever see my work modified by genAI or mixed up alongside it, I was not the party who used it, I did not approve it, and if in my power, I will certainly fight against it.

Natovenator was a genus of halzkaraptorine dromaeosaur that lived in Late Cretaceous Asia. Its fossils suggest that it was semi-aquatic, much like the waterfowl of modern day. The courtship ritual depicted here is inspired by modern cranes and grebes.

These are my sketches to practice drawing Deinonychus in different poses for a future painting

Mei Long. Needed to draw something simple amidst of drawings something complex. Back to drawing the complex thing…

Today is International Tiger Day so here are some studies of the WRONGLY named Saber-toothed Tiger Smilodon populator from South America that went extinct just about 11,000 years ago #SciArt #Paleoart
