A scene depicting the Patagonian scrubland in the early morning, dotted with araucarias and framed by foggy mountains in the background. A pair of Macrauchenia, four guanacos and a patagonian mara are seen among the grass. A Megatherium walks by further away and a crested caracara flies over the scene.

Foggy morning in Late Pleistocene Patagonia.

Dipping my toes into some more horror-adjacent creature design again, this time featuring reanimated dragon remains

This is just a study, of course this guy can't properly stand, it'd actually crawl towards you :)

Yes, the #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge trailer is out today...

IT'S FINALLY HERE!
@zhejiang0pterus.bsky.social and @skyemcdavid.com's paper on azhdarchoid phylogeny and pterosaur gigantism is officially out, with some very intriguing results in the phylogenetic analysis 👀

DINOVEMBER 2025 - DAY 2: OURANOSAURUS
(One of my top favorite dinosaurs!)
#dinovember #paleoart #paleoartist #dinosaurs #dinosaur #nanotyrannus #sciart #science #prehistoric

Results from the Nanotyrannus #Paleostream!
First two are N. lancensis, 3 and 4 are N. lethaeus.
You might notice some paleoart homages here ;)

Always really liked Yveltal (here's a drawing I did back in 2013 when the first teaser for XY dropped) but the way it walks in Legends ZA? Absolute perfection.

Yangchuanosaurus

An illustration of a Carcharodontosaurus.

I'm in a Kem Kem mood it seems. On the other end of the spectrum from the lithe and lanky Deltadromeus is the stocky and robust Carcharodontosaurus! Size comparison below ⬇️

#paleoart #sciart

Illustration of a brown spotted abelisaurid.

I guess this is a series now! Here's the next in the Kem Kem lineup - an indeterminate abelisaurid. Size comparison below ⬇️

#paleoart #sciart

Green Spinosaurus.

Undoubtedly the most impressive of the Kem Kem theropods, Spinosaurus itself. Size comparison below ⬇️

#sciart #paleoart

Illustration of a yellow-brown Alanqa.

Moving on from theropods, we now look at the pterosaurs of the Kem Kem, beginning with the azhdarchoid (?) Alanqa! Some thoughts and size comparison below ⬇️

#sciart #paleoart

Brown Afrotapejara in flight.

I so rarely draw pterosaurs in flight. Here's Afrotapejara, another Kem Kem pterosaur known from some beak material. Tapejarids must have been some of the oddest of the pterosaurs - and that's saying something! Size comparison below ⬇️

#sciart #paleoart

A blue-grey Apatorhamphus with a bright orange crest and red beak.

I am so much more comfortable drawing pterosaurs when they're on the ground. Here's Apatorhamphus, another one of the larger Kem Kem pterosaurs, alongside Alanqa, with a possible 7m wingspan. Size comparison below ⬇️

#sciart #paleoart

A giant tianosaur in shades of brown.

Here is the tenth in the Kem Kem lineup - we're taking a break from pterosaurs to meet the largest animal in the ecosystem, a gargantuan titanosaur known from enormous trackways and fragmentary fossils. Size comparison (gulp) below! ⬇️

#sciart #paleoart

A green Axelrodichthys fish

Really venturing out of my comfort zone for this next critter in the Kem Kem series - a fish! This is Axelrodichthys, a giant mawsoniid coelacanth with a potential upper length of 4m. Size comparison below ⬇️

#paleoart #sciart

A grey striped iguanodontian.

Next on the list, and one of two incredibly obscure ornithischians from the Kem Kem, an indeterminate iguanodontian! This animal is only known from a singular half-metre-long footprint. More thoughts and size comparison below ⬇️

#paleoart #sciart

A brown stripey Elosuchus

Next up, Elosuchus! This animal is not a crocodile, but sits on another branch of the family tree along with its much more famous cousin Sarcosuchus - the pholidosaurs. Size comparison below ⬇️

#sciart #paleoart

A reddy-brown-white Anhanguera with a stripey nasal crest.

Back to the Kem Kem series! Taking to the air once more with Anhanguera - a piscivore with a 4-5m wingspan, and the first toothed pterosaur in the lineup. Size comparison below ⬇️

#sciart #paleoart

Brown countershaded leptocleidid with a yellow head

Back underwater, we find the Kem Kem's resident freshwater plesiosaur! This animal is known from a couple adult specimens and one youngster. Size comparison below ⬇️

#sciart #paleoart

A yellow Rebbachisaurus with a blue head.

An unusual high-spined dinosaur from the Kem Kem, it's Spinosau- oh wait, it's Rebbachisaurus, a medium-sized diplodocoid sauropod. I based much of this reconstruction on related species, such as Lavocatisaurus and Limaysaurus. Size comparison below ⬇️

#sciart #paleoart

A Xericeps, covered in light hues of blues, greens, and purples.

Xericeps is another fragmentary Kem Kem pterosaur, known from a distinctively curved lower beak, complete with interesting protrusions on the inside, much like Alanqa - this speculative reconstruction is based loosely on the modern openbill stork!

Size comparison below ⬇️

#sciart #paleoart

Small noasaurid - it has dark green fuzz on the front half of its body adorned with teal, white, yellow, and orange stripes. On the tail, these colours are mirrored.

Surprise, more Kem Kem theropods! Here's a small indeterminate noasaurid, between 2-3m long, known from fragmentary remains. With smaller animals, I am drawn to vivid colours and flashier displays - like the speculative skin flap on the tail. Size comparison below ⬇️

A pencil portrait of a Dilophosaurus.
