A little bit giraffe, a little bit deer. Who knows what this animal was like...

Thank you. Without inspiration from living creatures, it's hard to understand long-extinct ones.

There were more muntjac-like deer in the Miocene than there are today. But it seems not all pickles were pickled well)))

Thank you) I was thinking about how to relate cave paintings to animal behavior and came up with the idea that bison could jump and scratch themselves because of clouds of insects.

Pleistocene steppe bison Bison Priscus. Ancestor of modern bisons.

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.

Unfinished work with ancient animals awaits its time in the new year.

Unfinished work with ancient animals awaits its time in the new year.

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.

The monster came to the settlement and was surrounded by dogs. The monster looked at them with disdain.

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)

An extinct muntjac-like deer with branched antlers.

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 Extinct Deer Antifer ultra stand in the forest and look right at you.

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.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress πŸ¦–

But at least its closest relatives remain. The roan antelope also has a similar muzzle shape, coloring, and ears.

I just love dragons with thin curved necks and sharp beaks) There is something bird-like about them.

In fact, it is the closest relative of modern white-tailed deer, which in turn is a distant relative of moose) They are in the same tribe.

I have similar thoughts. Giraffes, albeit different species, may have once roamed my country, too. How strange...

I agree. Beautiful and unusual.
