Pleistocene steppe bison Bison Priscus. It inhabited Europe, Asia, and North America until the early Holocene and is the ancestor of modern European bison and American bison.
I'm not sure if it's noticeable, but I was inspired by ancient images of bison and Altamira and other caves.
Because yes)

This year I've done more work with prehistoric animals than I have in a long time. But I don't have time to do these guys. Will see them again next year.

An uninvited guest. I haven't done any new work with Orso in a while, and I don't have anything new for the New Year either. So I'll leave another old work here. It's almost New Year's)

The background here is my tribute to one of my favorite artists, Konstantin Flerov.
An extinct muntjac-like deer with branched antlers.
Palaeoplatyceros hispanicus- a muntjac-like deer from the Middle Miocene of Spain. Numerous antlers found on Otero Hill in Palencia allow to trace the age-related dimorphism of these animals. The illustration shows an adult, possibly even old, animal and a younger deer in the background.

Scary paleoart: deers Antifer ultra as skinwalkers.
A little sketch for Halloween. And of course, I know geography separates these deer from Navajo mythology, but nevertheless, it will be like this)
I was afraid it wouldn't look right) But it seems to be alright. Thank you.
