When we find bizarre & unbelievable creatures in the #fossil record, I don't approach #paleoart by asking "how can I make this animal seem more 'believable'?" My #paleoartprocess starts by asking "how bizarre was it really? & how much bizarreness is was never fossilized?"
AYOOoo #PortfolioDay2023 #Portfolioday My name is Brian Engh & I'm an artist & filmmaker who works w/ museums & scientists to reconstruct ancient ecosystems (& I enjoy imagining alien ones) I like to work BIG, ask me about my #mural & #dinosaur #sculpture #paleoartprocess
For #FossilFriday here's a video showing the #paleoartprocess of painting the giant #Triassic amphibian #Antarctosuchus for @burkemuseum, under the scientific guidance of @Koskinonodon & @ChristianSidor. FULL VIDEO: youtu.be/s_nwhggzEUw #Paleoart #Fossil #TraditionalPainting
Drawing #dinosaurs is hard. I just posted a series of sketches to my patreon showing the #paleoartprocess of #drawing & re-re-drawing #Dilophosaurus for the @SGDinoDiscovery #KayentaFormation timeline #mural.
Thank you wee Clingfish for inspiring the colors on this smol early #Jurassic #ornthiscian #dinosaur i just finished painting for @SGDinoDiscovery, for a scene based on a #dino track site (w/ shed teeth!) discovered by @AndrewTracks. #paleoart #paleoartprocess #paleontology twitter.com/WestOzFish/s…
