The Olympic Peninsula, 12,000 years ago. One of the last Pacific Mastodon finds something new on the beach, washed up after last night’s storm. The gulls and scavengers are already fighting over this alien corpse on the sands. #paleoart #3dart #blender #art
A Pacific Mastodon discovers the beached corpse of a Killer Whale on the Olympic Peninsula. Gulls, Bald Eagles, and Crows flock around the corpse. In the distance, a mammoth charges a bull elephant seal as deer graze in the forest. Mountains rise in the distance.

Forget the dinosaur designs in the Jurassic World Rebirth trailer—let's talk about that museum scene. This interior was shot last Fall at Old Royal Navy College in London, specifically in the Painted Hall. (cont'd)
Trailer screenshot shows a neoclassical space with an upright theropod skeleton and a "when dinosaurs roamed the earth banner" being lowered behind it. Workmen are dismantling the exhibit.Photo of the painted hall without dinosaur set dressing. It's a large space with huge murals on the ceiling and beyond an ornate doorway.

Iguanodon was named 200 years ago today, so here's (AFAIK) the first time it appeared in #paleoart: an 1833 watercolour/pencil study "Reptiles Restored, the Remains of Which Are To Be Found in a Fossil State in Tilgate Forest, Sussex" by George Scharf. That's Iguanodon on the left. #Sciart thread...
Watercolour and pencil sketch showing a Cretaceous landscape as understood in 1833. A lizard-like Iguanodon is shown at left alongside a large palm tree, its tail whirling over rolling hills in the distance. A meandering river bisects the scene, with other animals along its banks. These are, from the top down, a swimming plesiosaur in the stream, a monitor lizard-like Megalosaurus, stork-like birds, the spiky Hylaeosaurus, another swimming plesiosaur, a somewhat dog-like crocodile, and two turtles. The right side of the image shows fern-like plants, reeds and more palm trees.

Hatzegopteryx. 15 feet tall and a wingspan of 30 feet, this massive azhdarchid pterosaur was the apex predator of Hațeg Island, an ancient island that’s now modern day Romania in the Late Creatceous. (Art made back in July 2024) #ArtistOnBlueSky #AS05 #Paleoart #MesozoicLife #DigitalArt
A male Hatzegopteryx begins to make a courting display, which is speculated to help attract females.

This was unexpected.
A YouTube poll asking "What was your favorite new release from Ark in 2024?" Ark: The Animated Series has 80% of the votes, Scorched Earth Ascended has 10%, Aberration Ascended has 0%, and Extinction Ascended has 10%.
