Homology
Digital drawing. A burst of hands/forelimbs of a variety of terrestrial vertebrates emerges from the fin of a mostly unseen fishapod in the bottom left corner. The forelimbs gradually point more towards the upper left corner as you move up through the bunch.

A startled Hesperornithoides confronts a genuinely perplexed, uninterested and perhaps offended Allosaurus. Continuing the quick $30-$40 commissions just like this one to help with funds for an unexpected situation for another week, share &/or hmu💫

A vagrant Eurasian Homotherium female has met their untimely end, after naively disturbing Tokay the Gecko God's slumber. Doing $30-$40 1 hour sketches like this to help with funds for an unexp. situation for the next 2 weeks, share &/or hit me up!

With @dinoconuk.bsky.social just around the corner, I'm taking the opportunity to capture a few shots of the models I'll be bringing to my stall in the summer evening light.

A Paranthropus boisei male stares intently into your eyes, drawing a connection between the contours of his face and yours, remarking the hairlessness of his skin and yours and wonders… “Have I seen them before?” #sciart

Genetic evidence from 27 Neanderthal individuals shows late European Neanderthals were more diverse and socially connected than once thought, with distinct regional groups that still interacted. Their populations later declined through bottlenecks, but they weren’t long isolated.

New at #Patreon: Stop press (literally, in my case)! Fossils suggest that the tapjearid Sinopterus had blue-green/magenta iridescence? Huge implications for #pterosaur #paleoart and just one of a suite of new papers reinventing tapejarid pterosaurs. Discussion at www.patreon.com/posts/159645...
A short-faced toothless pterosaur hangs from a gingko branch. It has blue, green and purple iridescence as well as banding on its crest: all features based on fossil data. (Note that the exact patterning and expressed colours are unknown; we have some ingredients of the colour profile of this animal, but don't know how they were expressed in life).

Besides touching grass, nothing makes you appreciate the story of life on Earth more than studying and illustrating it. Earth Day is everyday.

Haolong dongi, the “Porcupine” Iguanodont. At about 2.5 meters long, not much would stand out about this Hadrosauroid had we just their skeletal remains, but thanks to the preservational nature of the Yixian Formation, we’ve come to uncover amazing details about the anatomy of this animal #sciart 🧵>

"tyrannosaurus rex" is kinda one of the craziest called shots of all time if you think about it some dude in 1905 was like 'this was definitely the most badass dinosaur so I will name it as such' and 120 years of research and new discoveries keeps proving him right.

At a forest clearing, you're greeted by the guardian, the wise old man of the forest, Gigantopithecus blacki. Recent commission of the big guy, inspired by #prehistoricplaneticeage. Although this guy is a Pongine-->

A male Nanotyrannus lancensis sports their sharp and contrasting breeding season colors. They lift their head up and catch the whiff of the promise of hope... a female...

Lesmesodon edingeri, a cat sized Hyaenodont from the #Messel Pit. We only have 4 fossils from this species, all still suckling age. Would be an early horse’s nightmare as an adult though (dissection in thread) #sciart (done in 2021)
