Halszkaraptor - Tumblr Posts

This is the newest dinosaur discovered in the tiny-dinos series; Halszkaraptor! It was a small, duck-sized relative of the mongolian dromeasaur mahakala, and mighy be the weirdest dromeasaur itself with its gracile swan-like proportions. It's the 2nd semi-aquatic non-avian dinosaur discovered after spinosaurus. It likely hunted small fish and arthropods in the oases of the Mongolian desert in the late cretaceous times. It lived at the same time and place as the famous velociraptor and protoceratops in the Djadochta Fomation For this one i tried a new technique to shape feathers, drawing them on rather than making each wing feather on its own, they really were too small and fiddly for that. . We're closing in at the end of the first round of the tiny-dinos! I'm looking for suitable materials to mould and cast. It's taking me some time due to translation stuff and finding similar stuff to what you can get elsewhere in the West😅 #artiststruggles #halszkaraptor #paleoart #paleoartist #dinoart #artistsofinstagram #dinofacts #sculpture #art #sculptor #sculptors #sculptors #theropod #dromeasaur #velociraptor #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #supersculpey #supersculpeyfirm #paleoartista #theropoddinosaur #dinosaur #dinosaurs #dinosaursofinstagram #toy #toymaker #toymakers #animaltoy https://www.instagram.com/p/BseRk13l1A7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jgrrskcg4ei9

The Maniraptoran Alphabet (Part 2)

Part 2 of my dinosaur alphabet! A lot of super interesting species in this batch. I find it very amusing that Halszkaraptor is pretty much just an extra long duck... convergent evolution is wild.
