Never got around to post the finished #lineart for this #carnotaurus #sketch so here you go! Will get around to give it so e #colour some day. This was never meant to be #onfleak with #scientificaccuracy rather just fun to #draw so the tail is too bendy, too much #scutes and the legs are too emu-like and it should probably not have the scales going from the toes and up, and the scutes on the tail are completely #speculative . . #dinosaur #paleoartist #carnotaur #abelisauridae #abelisaur #jurassicpark #carnivore #theropod #theropoda

This is not the best of pictures, but since it's taking me sp long to get around to finish it (moved and got no proper space to do watercolours as I want to) I'll show you how far I cane until I had to halt my progress on this piece. #carnotaurus #carnotaurussastrei #carnotaur #dinosaur #paleoart #art #watercolour #watercolor #paleoartist #graduate #painting #theropod #abelisaurid #abelisauridae #inaccurate #olddesign #wip #speculative #speculativedesign

Instagram's giving me trouble with another post I tried to uploade with some creature design, so here's a oldie; comparing the size between shuuvuia and a baby velociraptor mongoliensis, ca 2014-5 i did for a project that's been shelved for now. Hoping instagram will get back to me soon, I want to show off one of my predators really bad😬 #dinosaur #paleoart #paleoartist #raptor #velociraptor #velociraptormongoliensis #velociraptorchicken #babyraptor #babyvelociraptor #shuuvuia #flamingcliffs #sizecomparison #sizechart #whilewewait #outadetart #outadateddesign #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistofinstagram #art

I haven't drawn dinosaurs in a while, so i drew some ceratosaurus skulls based on Scott Hartman's reconstruction. Unfortunatley the only marker i brought with me ran out of ink midway through the frontal view (which i did just looking at skulls from the side)😑I need to go back to paleoart, and i need to start drawing more big theropods . . . . #paleoart #paleoartist #ceratosaurus #skull #ceratosaurusskull #sketch #sketchbook #practice #pencilsketch #pencildrawing #theropod #dinosaur #dinosaurart

I actually never posted the finished titanis painting i did last year, which was the 2nd picture i uploaded onto my deviantArt.. better late than never! A Titanis walleri (based off of Florida Museum of Natural History mounted reconstruction and andalgornis ferox holotype skull) stalks the North American plains in the South-East looking for prey under the careful watch of some unidentified corvids and vultures from a dead tree. . . . #digitalpainting #digitalart #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #paleoart #paleoartist #theropod #terrorbird #phorusrhacos #phorusrhacidae #phorusrhacids #terrorsquacker #titanis #titaniswalleri #bird #birdofprey #blackandwhite #megafauna #iceage #carnivore #digitalsketch

Revisiting a sleepy carnotaurus from 2014😃 When it's done it'll go up on my Redbubble webstore. #carnotaurus #wip #sketchbook #drawing #digitalart #paleoart #art #artist #paleoartist #dinosaur #cute

I've not been posting lately due to illness and starting my job, but looks like I'm gonna have two weeks now to get some art done 😁 This one's soon finished too, will put it up as a print in my Redbubble store! #dinosaur #cute #carnotaurus #carnotaurussastrei #paleoart #paleoartist #sleeping #sleep #nap #abelisaurid #creaturedesign #characterdesign #sketchbook #digitalart #digitalsketch

At the cabin right now so here's an old sketch that I'm still very proud of😁 Lecture sketch of a mama raptor character I created for a games pitch dozing off. I want to colour it digitally and maybe with watercolour at some point. ... I think dozy animals is my thing😅 (In the background there's a classic Disney styled Deltatheridium if you were wondering😜) #paleoart #paleosketch #velociraptor #velociraptormongoliensis #raptor #raptordinosaur #jurrasicpark #dangerfloof #floof #sleepyanimals #sketchbook #drawing #art #artistsoninstagram #paleoartist #creaturedesign #characterdesign #characterart #creatureart #classicdisney #deltatheridium

I never posted this here?!😧here's my entry for the #fluffneckchallenge that TheDubstepAddict on deviantart started. They found a unidentified theropod dinosaur in a museum and wanted people to recreate what the fossil looked like. The fossil had a lot of detail, and I thought I saw some pathologies on its hands and tail, which made me think that it possibly had been in a fight or had been picked on right before it died. In hindsight, I think I should have given it more bruising and more ruffled feathers. I have no idea what this thing really was, but I'd say it might be related dromeosaurids, the raptor dinosaurs. #paleoart #paleoartist #creaturedesign #creaturedesigner #blackandwhite #digitalart #digitalsketch #dinosaur #theropod #theropoda #raptordinosaur #dromeasaur #forensicpaleoillustration #fluffydinosaur #mysterydinosaur #deadbyariverbank

I did a reconstruction of #arkansaurus based off of the skeletal reconstruction @definetilynotpedroandrade have done. First thing paleo I've done in a while 🙂 And I don't do that many ornithomimids (I don't like their heads 🙃). #arkansaurusfridayi #ornithomimid #science #sciart #paleoart #paleoartist #sketchbook #sketch #art #creaturedesign #doodle #artistoninstagram #dinosaur #dinosaurart #jurassicpark #jurrasicworld

Breaking the radio silence with a post with wyverns! It's #smaugust so what better time is it to revisit my fantasy world's take on wyverns, dragons, serpents/worms and drakes!? Just plotted down a note on the wyvern phylogony, making a distinction on what animal lineages converged, and what separates them. As of now there's an archosaurian (dinosaurs, crocodiles, pterosaurs) lineage, and a squamatan (lizards) lineage. . . I'm still working on the sculpture of the terror bird, but I'm also taking some well earned time off after working A LOT, and i'm also using this time to reflect and heal after being close to burning out, and transitioning between life stages. Expect more updates on the sculpture front soon!!! #sculpture #drawing #dragon #wyvern #sketch #sketchbook #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #conceptart #conceptartist #creaturedesign #worldbuilding #creaturedesigner #paleoartist

Here's the cockatrice profile! (I think i might paint this one) . The cockatrice is a small wyvern, about the size of a turkey. It's a highly aggressive species, particularly against mammals for some reason. It's not know why, one theory is that mammals around its size are fought or chased off as they represent competition for its food sources, or that the cockatrice makes their territories as safe they can for their offspring. It's not certain wether this behaviour is gender based, or based on the presence of young or anything at all really. Its aggressive nature is also highlighted in its throat pouch; which is adapted to build up a potent blast of noxious and paralyse inducing gass, instead of the normal gass spray/leak of the archosaurian wyverns and the wyrms. The throat pouch is used for either display purposes, or for food/water storage, like the pelican, in many archosaurian wyverns. It is said the mere gaze of a cockatrice is enough to paralyse or even kill one, but its more likely that if you're close enough to look one in the eye, it's probably realised its foul gass in a steady manner instead of its usual blast or spew. . I've started designing several wyverns of late, and have sorted them in archosaurian (dinosaurs, crocodiles, pterosaurs) and squamatan (lizards and snakes) lineages, that I'll go deeper in on at a later time. I enjoy this a lot, and I need it for a long running world building project I've first gone to work at more the past year. Might do a proper creature profile of the designs as I get them done🤔 #smaugust #smaugust2018 #wyvern #dragon #cockatrice #basilisk #mythology #art #artist #beast #creature #creaturedesign #creaturedesigner #conceptart #conceptartist #sketch #sketchbook #worldbuilding #fantasyart #fantasy #paleoartist https://www.instagram.com/p/BnCx9naBiNN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tv4xjloqn0u6

My birthday is up so I will be able to get some more material, and with that I'm planning my next sculpt, which will be more ambitious! This time I will make a proper diorama of a #majungasaurus scavenging a drowned #rapetosaurus . However, I haven't decided yet if I'm adding any more creatures like #mahajangasuchus or a small dinosaur lurking around, waiting for their turn to feed. There will be water, there will be sand, there will be plants, and I will make something that has started decaying for the first time ever! First I will give the kelenken a victim tho. Need to add a receiver to its action pose! #wip #workinprogress #sculpter #sculpture #art #artist #paleoartist #paleoart #sketchbook #armature #dinosaurart #creaturedesign #creaturedesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/BnbDTCrhaVE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mvbty05pp7a3

I keep forgetting to take pictures of armatures.... here's one that I just started clothing with clay! This is going to be a borhyaena being caught off guard by the kelenken. I'm planning to do a tiny diorama with the two of them. #diorama #armature #superculpey #paleoart #paleoartist #borhyaena #sculpture #sciart https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhitN7Bbie/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jiyon5ymlhfj

Trying out something new... The acrylic i'm using to glue everything and flesh out the trees and the support beam for the terror bird takes too long to dry and it is a bit too thick. So i'm mixing it with a tiny bit of water and so far it's working well! #diorama #acrylic #art #miniature #miniatureart #artist #wip #workinprogress #artistsoninstagram #modelmaking #tipsandtricks #wargames #wargameterrain #wargametree #assetmaking #artinprogress #paleoartist #terrorbird https://www.instagram.com/p/BqutwK8Fkrj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w4vh6em1v0kv

2018 marked the year where I started sculpting again, and tried super sculpey for the first time. I think it shows that sculpting is the medium I enjoy the most. This page hasn't been live for a full year yet, but it has grown a lot! And so have I, and I look forward to grow more with my followers and fellow artists in the new year!❤️😊 #2018bestnine #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #paleoartist #dinoart #dinofacts #sculpture #supersculpey #paleoart #happynewyear #hny https://www.instagram.com/p/BsDr-MqFF5R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n2j68x8z4vbv

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

Sculpting a utharaptor

Sneak-peak! Been working on this 1:32 scale (if i remember right) utharaptor sculpt the past few weeks when i've not been working or moving to my new flat. "Wings" need work, and then there's only the tail fan and texture details left to go! It's a very chunky bird this one! I decided to go with a half-lip on this one. #miniaturemaking #art #artist #paleoart #paleoartist #paleoarte #utahraptor #dromaeosaur #velociraptor #sculpture #sculpt #sculptor #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #jw #jp #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #cretaceous #dinosaur #dinosaurart #dinosaurartwork #supersculpey #supersculpeyfirm #wip #workinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/BuED14Tlqy7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wyhxt6rffj4l
