Emily Higgs Art

A very quick visit to my happy place 💚🌿

#naturalhistorymuseum

Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age ❄️
.
I love it when you watch something that sparks your imagination and gets your creative thoughts flowing again. This new Apple TV series has done just that - the CGI and designs of the creatures are STUNNING!
.
Do you have a favourite scene/creature from the series?

Ornithischia ~ bird hip 🦅🦴🌿
.
I’m getting back into the groove now and working on a new collection!
.
Any you’re excited about?

Pterosauria tree (vintage edition) ~ 🦅🌳
.
Alongside my ‘black edition’, I have also tested how my pterosaur illustration would look with a ‘vintage’ natural history illustration background’
.
What do you guys think? Which version do you prefer? The black or vintage background?

What do you guys think? Do you have a favourite pterosaur?

What do you guys think?

Triceratops ~ three-horned face 🦏
.
My final colour variation complete! This has been a fun ‘mini series’ to work on, especially with trying a forward face design. I have a few ideas of what I would like to do with all three designs so watch this space 👀

What do you guys think?

A stylised pose of the iconic ‘frozen in time’ fossil of Velociraptor and Protoceratops

Velociraptor & Protoceratops ~ ‘Mongolian Survival’ 🦅🇲🇳
.
I unveiled this new design at @dinoconuk.bsky.social This is the first time I’ve combined two figures together to make a scene and I felt that the iconic fossil of these two would be perfect subject matter to try this out!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words Andy! I hope to see you and your wonderful art at another event very soon 😊

A photo of four of Emily Higgs prints, featuring colourful, stylised and scientifically-informed pterosaurs.

(4/n) other artist whose work I was able to see and purchase at the event. Firstly, @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social whose beautiful, stylised palaeoart I have admired for years. I picked up a few gorgeous pterosaur cards that you can see here.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your support 😊

Artwork by Emily Higgs showing the heads, necks and sometimes bodies of several genera of sauropods of different sizes and colour ways, all looking towards the last of the image. There’s a small grey person icon at bottom left for scale. The title text centre top is Sauropoda, subtitled Lizard Footed. On the left it says Herbivore, and on the right, Saurischian. At the bottom is a key to the genera: 1. Nigersaurus, 2. Amargasaurus, 3. Bajadasaurus, 4. Shunosaurus, 5. Isisaurus, 6. Ceriosaurus, 7. Ampelosaurus, 8. Apatosaurus, 9. Diplodocus, 10. Camarasaurus, 11. Mamenchisaurus, 12. Ruyangosaurus, 13. Alamosaurus, 14. Dreadnoughtus, 15. Argentinosaurus, 16. Brachiosaurus, 17. Paragotitan

Cool #paleoart : Sauropoda by @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social. Not in her trademark folded style, but v fine & v Emily nonetheless!

Another one of the prints I bought at @dinoconuk.bsky.social (technically @tpbunny.bsky.social procured this for me).

Thank you so much! Hopefully you’ll be able to come to future ones 😊

All set up and ready for @dinoconuk.bsky.social if your attending over the weekend, please come over and say hi! 😊🦖🦕

Now…I’m REALLY excited about this piece!
.
I loved how my recent pterosaur collection turned out and I didn’t really want to stop there, and now I’m taking a closer look at smaller pterosaurs hanging out together!
.
The sketch is complete, so now onto blocking the shapes out ✍🏼

Thank you!! 😅😁

On 1st August, we will chat about conventions and networking in general. 👥 In the last months I could not have met a better networker than @jamespascoe.bsky.social! Talking about conventions, @velozee.bsky.social & @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social might give diff. views based on their experiences.
