More excellence from Lucas Panzarin; Teratophoneus (I know, I know, exposed teeth), Ticinosuchus, Olorotitan, Parasaurolophus). Look at those gorgeous folds! The believable colorations! #paleoart

A paleoartist who in my opinion doesn't get praised nearly enough is Lucas Panzarin. He's one of the best at rendering dinosaur scales with texture & detail (Coahuilaceratops, Halszkaraptor, Matheronodon, Parasaurolophus juvenile) #paleoart

Something I've thought about that I think would make for some interesting #paleoart: Yes, bears can be ferocious, regal animals, but what about their adorable, whimsical, awkward other half? Never seen a prehistoric ursid depicted like that 🐻

I made this reconstruction of Utahraptor in 2019. While I still had a lot to learn about dinosaur wing anatomy & the like, it's been one of my most popular pieces of #paleoart. I've had multiple clients bring it up/reference it when they first reach out. #FossilFriday

Some new #paleoart before the year is over: "Tree of Darwin" - the Eocene primate Darwinius perched on a tree branch. The branch transitions into Charles Darwin's famous "Tree of Life" sketch

NEW #PALEOART: The huge ceratopsian dinosaur Titanoceratops ouranos foraging in the swampy jungles of what is now New Mexico, some 75 million years ago. #FossilFriday

Oh shit, 5k followers! Means a lot considering my current pace makes the algorithm especially unkind to me. Have some #Tapejara #paleoart for the occasion

At this point, if I finish this scene before the year ends I'll be happy. Been working on it since April 🥵🥵🥵 #WIP #paleoart #Ornithomimus

How It Started (Aphetoceras, 2018) vs. How It's Going (Plectoceras, 2021) Both nautiloid cephalopods from the Ordovician. The nearly matching color schemes was unintentional #paleoart

Two diagrams I recently completed that focus on different aspects of #trilobite anatomy. I have no design experience, but I liked the symmetry of the curved elements & used that as a guide. Pretty proud of these! #FossilFriday #paleoart

A little #FlashbackFriday for #MorrisonFormationWeek and #FossilFriday - one of my first big scenes, focused on the flora and fauna at the edge of a Morrison forest. Featuring Stegosaurus, Fruitadens, Dryolestes, Allosaurus, Brachiosaurus, & more! #paleoart #MorrisonWeek

Another closeup of that scene I'm working on. A lepidopteran (butterfly/moth) engaging in lachryphagy, drinking the tears of the #baenid turtle Denazinemys 🦋💧🐢 #paleoart #WIP #scientificillustration #sciart

Taking a page out of the @BrianEngh_Art playbook and framing a big 'ole ornithischian face with some Sabalites #palms 🌴 (this is a very zoomed-in crop, the composition is otherwise completely different) #WIP #paleoart

Fun fact: the water lotus (genus Nelumbo) was around way back in the Cretaceous period, tens of millions of years before Tyrannosaurus! Here's a detail of a much larger painting that is FAR from being finished 🌸 #paleoart #WIP

#ThrowbackThursday to what I consider my best piece (so far). A pair of Lystrosaurus working on their burrow before the sun sets & the long polar night begins in Early Triassic Antarctica. #paleoart
