The battlefield 🗡

A ★★★★★ review of Mars Express (2023) Head over heels. Walks an excessively travelled trail in terms of themes and all but it's execution has me completely enraptured. Some real movie nerds made this, man. There's a split diopter shot! In...

here's another old piece I meant to share during #invertefest 😁
(domain at the bottom of the image has been taken down, this was part of a project/challenge)

Thanks! I'm glad it cought the eye of a real conoisseur of the species. I wanted to convey the idea that its color blends with the sorroundings from the top, but it blends with the sky if seen from below. Then I got carried away with mating display palette for its face :D.

Thanks, he's glad you like his lush pond

Anzu running wild for #maysozoic (as late as I am I could call it Junerassic :D )

Lambeosaurus chillin' in its swamp, like Shrek.

my Postosuchus for #maysozoic gets supervised by my helper.

Does Singam enjoys #paleoart ? I can't tell, but surely he likes the sketchbook, as a mat to rest onto.

after the lambeosaurus I went down a rabbit hole of more hadrosaurs in my sketchbook. Here I colored one. With the color scheme I wanted to redo that of one of my favourite toys as a kid (that's why it's a little lame 😅)

amazing shape-pushing!

Zuul, unbreakable fortress!

Quetzalcoatlus, defying gravity like no one else

#Maysozoic #paleoart

May is no more... but my delayed Maysozoic will go on!

Here a thagomizing Chungkingosaurus, a spiny chung and a spiky king for sure

Anurognathus, a flying "frog" pterosaur roaming the jurassic skies!

ALSO, comics writers and editors, if your comic needs a cover, you know whom to hit, too! artyomtrakhanov[a]gmail.com

And now a mesozoic superstar, the one and only...Archaeopteryx

#Maysozoic #paleoart

Xiphactinus, a huge and voracious fish from Cretaceous.

#Maysozoic #paleoart

Like the the Sclero does!

Love him sleeping and chilling with his perfect and round body shape!

Mapusaurus, a knife-toothed bane of sauropods. 5 tons of ferocity, I think that dinosaurs can't get much intimidating than guys like these.

Scleromochlus jumping around into his triassic forest.

Edmontosaurus for #Maysozoic, I'm starting to mess up the correct order of these animals, it's because I'm late on many of them but I promise, they won't stop coming!

Kronosaurus rules the waves!
#Maysozoic

A cleaner, shadeless version ;)

#Maysozoic goes on with Stegouros, a little armored fellow.

incredible Archaeopteryx!

#Maysozoic day 9: Archaeopteryx, my beloved! they're so hard to draw well x_x
with the colors I wanted to reference the Maurice Wilson illustration but I don't think they fit my design too well :/

I've got some late #Maysozoic entries, together: Rugops and Lokiceratops! Camouflaging mammals for the carnivore's palette and ... Parrot fishes for the ceratopsyd's one (pretty randomly, maybe just for the parrot-resembling beak and my love for bright colors). Bonus sketches included!

#Maysozoic day 5: Lokiceratops
Drawing it took 1 and a half listens of dark side of the moon
Colors loosely inspired by some blue-crested lizard
