Pencil sketch of pachycephalosaur Zavacephale in its environment.

Same illustration with featured species labelled. Zavacephale (pachycephalosaur), lycopodites (a lycophyte), equisetites (a horsetail), coniopteris, onychiopsis (dicksoniaceae ferns), nageia (podocarpaceae), abies-like pine.

I wanted to do something for this little guy (Zavacephale), especially because there are good plant fossils from the same formation he is found in, but this is all I had the energy for.

if charlie kirk didn't get shot the right wing would be equally and as consequentially as mad about a tv commercial or restaurant logo or something else, they're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless

Lmao rest in piss bozo

Sketch of the dromaesaurid Shri rapax with the fossil

New dromaeosaurid, Shri rapax. What an amazing fossil!

Let me cook

As bad as that is, I think it's the latter.

I also have a working hypothesis that Universal has vetoed dinosaurs with place-names in their genus name, which is why we've never got Utahraptor or Argentinosaurus/Patagotitan

I would accept that, though if it is to be dinosaurs my preference is just that it's the Carnotaurus scene from The Lost World. The set already reminds me so much of how I imagined that scene.

Drawing of the pterosaur Thalassodromeus with colors inspired by the "Mutadon" from Jurassic World Rebirth.

I've seen lots of suggestions for what real prehistoric animal could have replaced the "mutadon" in Jurassic World Rebirth. Having seen the film now, I couldn't stop thinking what if it was a ground-dwelling predatory pterosaur, like has been suggested for Thalassodromeus.

Thank you!

Jurassic Park Dinosaurs Illustrated With Modern Science - JPT How has our understanding of the Jurassic Park dinosaurs progressed over time? We explore all we have learned since the Jurassic Park films.

This is a long-overdue follow up to this article I wrote & illustrated in 2020: jurassicparkterror.com/jurassic-par...

Its my birthday today, and good news!

You can celebrate by reading my fully illustrated new article on the prehistoric animals of Jurassic World Dominion, what we know of their life appearance & behavior, and how that compares to the film:

Quick thumbnail sketches of Two Medicine Formation and Cloverly Formation environments.

I have been enjoying doing these environment sketches in what little time I have.

Real but also their skin is like sandpaper

Coloured pencil sketch of Compsognathus

Coloured pencil sketch of Tenontosaurus, grayscale thumbnail sketch of Stegosaurus posing with Coniopteris ferns and a fallen log

A few silly guys

Why are YouTube videos so long now? I keep seeing thumbnails I think look interesting and then see it is 1.5 hours... 2 hours... 3 hours long. No! Stop it!

That is rad

Diagramic reconstructions of a number of Cretaceous angiosperms for Prehistoric Kingdom's Mesozoic Temperate and Mesozoic Tropical biomes (2023).

Diagramic reconstructions of extinct plants for Prehistoric Kingdom's Mesozoic Swamp biome (2023).

Today I can share the Cretaceous angiosperms (for the Temperate and Tropical biomes) and Cretaceous Wetland plants I designed for Prehistoric Kingdom.

Sinners had extremely high expectations placed on it and it still somehow exceeded them. For one I didn't see anyone mention how good the music is??

lineart sketch of tyrannosaurus rex

I really like how these lines look and now I'm afraid to do anything else to them

Yeah I'll essentially be going just for that river raft sequence.

They should invent a high protein tortilla that isn't a low carb fad bullshit one

Thank you!

Scientific diagram of a Jurassic Araucaria, based mostly on Araucaria delevoryasii from the Morrison Formation.

Reconstruction/Diagram of Kimuriella with leaves based on Zamites species from formations featured in the game, total form based on Kimuriella densifolia and Kimuriella/Zamites gigas.

Jurassic Gleichenia-lineage plant based mostly on Gleichenia pulchella.

Reconstruction of a "Cupressinocladus" type cheirolepidiaceous conifer, drawing from various Jurassic and Early Cretaceous preserved logs and branches.

I can now share the "Jurassic Scrub" plants I designed/reconstructed for Prehistoric Kingdom!

I've already posted about this before but it is generally shocking how bad Google's AI overview they put on top of searches is. It isn't like it sometimes gets things wrong. It is ALWAYS wrong! You'd think they'd want to do something about that!

I have not, but I'd be happy to try it, thanks for the rec!
