#WorldCrocodileDay
Here is a little preview of something that, I hope, will end up contributing to the conservation of my favorite species, the orinoco crocodile.
looking forward to sharing more about this soon ;)
The estimate of 100 specimens (reproductive adults) may be too low (probably in Colombia, but in Venezuela the species is close to 300 adult specimens in the wild). Anyway, there is still a lot of work to be done and your illustration helps to bring attention to the species, which is much needed ๐ฅ

The orinoco crocodile is one of my favorite species but also extremelly endangered, its estimated that less than 100 individuals remain in the wild. It hurts my soul to its core seeing these species on the brink of extinction...

No crocodiles were injured during the process of this sculpture๐

The image above is just a preview render, but to give you some expectation of how the physical print will look, here's the prints I sold at last year's TetZooCon. Both the Tyrannosaurus and Diplodocus will be available in 1/40 scale.

As I do every year, Ive tried to make a small contribution to this day: My favorite animal in the world, the critically endangered Caimรกn llanero (C. intermedius), a species to which I am determined to dedicate my life to conserve.

If you are really such a bad person as to believe that I am blatantly recycling illustrations, let me tell you that you are absolutely right.

Probably the last large Sebecidae to inhabit this world before the extinction of the family during late Miocene (Or even during early Pliocene if we take into consideration possible relict island populations in the Antilles).

Although I have been making occasional commissions for years, I decided it was time to make it โofficialโ with a fixed price guideline, open to anyone who wants to hire me.
WIP skeletal diagram of Deinosuchus hatcheri with out any soft tissue. Scale bar is 1 meter long.
Here's an update on my Deinosuchus skeletal. Nearly all the bones are done, just gotta finish the skull detailing and the osteoderms. Also the back leg. But theoretically in the home stretch. #paleontology #Deinosuchus #paleoart

Here's a quick T. rex stop motion test I did yesterday, with a puppet I've made. I wanted to animate more, but I bumped into the camera ๐
The puppet is made of wire and foam for the body. The head is made of a 3D print skull by Vitamin Imagination, and the "skin" is just unbaked sculpey

A *possible* sebecosuchian from the Sierra Perenchiza Formation (Campanian), Valencia.
The presence of this genus in Europe during the Late Cretaceous represents a key element in tracing the early diversification chronology of Sebecosuchia.
The nearly complete skull of Dentaneosuchus was damaged during extraction, resulting in the scattering of material in the debris. Apparently, something very similar happened with Barinasuchus, an โalmost completeโ specimen that was destroyed during a road construction.
