Yes! I’ve finally finished this work! Orso is free!)) This is Epieuryceros truncus, an extinct deer species from the Early Pleistocene of Argentina. The antlers of this animal are noticeably different in shape from those of other South American deer.

Another Lascaux horse. From last Autumn.
Framed relief sculpture of a horse, based on the axial gallery of the Lascaux. The horse is yellow, with an orange neck/face. It starts on the left/hindquarters as a cave painting and then becomes more three dimensional to the right/front. The background of the relief is textured to look rock-like. There are various painted lines around the horse including two that look like feathers, and 4 parallel lines above. Framed relief sculpture of a horse, based on the axial gallery of the Lascaux.

I remember I have an unfinished art with deer, but I just can't seem to get started on it. It’s been about two years, I think... For some reason, I’m afraid to touch it. So, I ended up drawing a bull instead.

Bos primigenius, or the aurochs, was a wild ox that lived during the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs. The last member of the species died out in the 17th century AD. Several subspecies of the aurochs are the ancestors of modern cattle. I drew upon Paleolithic art, making the work more decorative.

I don't think I've shown this old drawing here before. A fearsome beast has gone out hunting. Yes, that is young Orso. Fun fact: this character was never born as an animal cub. He is actually a human who acquired a dual nature during his teenage years.

I'm still alive. I'm just having a hard time drawing anything right now... So here's a sketch of Orso, which I spent way more time on than I should have.
Just a sketch with a character, that's all I can do for now.

Pleistocene steppe bison Bison Priscus. It inhabited Europe, Asia, and North America until the early Holocene and is the ancestor of modern European bison and American bison. I'm not sure if it's noticeable, but I was inspired by ancient images of bison and Altamira and other caves.

An uninvited guest. I haven't done any new work with Orso in a while, and I don't have anything new for the New Year either. So I'll leave another old work here. It's almost New Year's)

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Bramiscus micros- newly discovered early giraffid from the Pakistan. The whole skull of the animal has not yet been found and there is an opinion that it could have had four ossicones, but I still focused on the two existing frontal horns, slightly indicating the theoretical rear ones.

I've been passionate about paleontology all my life. And fortunately, I can express my love in my art. I like extinct mammals and mollusks the most, but sometimes you can see birds and turtles in my works, and in the future, I hope, there will be dinosaurs. Some very old works.
