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

Still a wip, but here is a long promised update on the kelenken sculpt 2.0. Been working on it on and off for a while now, and i keep running into problems with it. I think the glue in the masking tape i foolishly tried to use again (after learning not to while making the platybelodon), has been deteriorating the bulk layer of clay, and the the bulk layer has been drying out and cracking up the outer layer😓 so much back and forth and so much material.. I'm doubting wether or not to double down and get this one right, or restart. #miniature #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #paleoartist #sculptor #sculpture #supersculpy #paleoart #terrorbird #art #artist #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #dinosaurart #iceage #iceageanimal #kelenken #kelenkenguillermoi #arksurvival #wip #workinprogress #dinosaur #diorama #miniatures #phorusrachid #phorusrhacos https://www.instagram.com/p/B4V1ga1lTgo/?igshid=1a8kxuc8in90m

Kelenken is doing a lot better after some more work and support from super sculpey soft. Still hot lots to do, but it's getting there. Decided to go for some larger tail feathers after all after looking at Jack Mayer Wood's @thewoodparable kelenken painting. I'm positive, but I'm also working out more and more stuff i want different with it😬 #miniature #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #paleoartist #sculptor #sculpture #supersculpy #paleoart #terrorbird #art #artist #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #dinosaurart #iceage #iceageanimal #kelenken #kelenkenguillermoi #paleontology #supersculpey #wip #workinprogress #phorusrhacos #phorusrhacid #bird https://www.instagram.com/p/B4fQLf_F82_/?igshid=6meiu984l90k

Here it is! Kelenken guillermoi. This apex predator ruled Argentina ca 17 million years ago. One of the largest of the known terror birds, it had the largest skull of any known bird ever! The holotype specimin sported a skull meassuring 70 centimeters, and it might not have been fully grown yet. This callback to the non-avian dinosaurs likely used it's long and well-developed legs to ambush and run down the unique megafauna of South America, dispatching them with vicious kicks, pecks reminiscent of being picked by a pickaxe, or by grabbing them and violently throwing them to the ground, like it's closestliving relatives; the seriema. . Finally! I've been working on this for a LONG time! It feels really good to have the sculpture finished. I learned a lot making this one, and you can see a clear progression from the first model i posted, and this one. This is sort of a re-take on that first model, tho the actual remake of the first one is still early on in the making, being a scantly clad armature for now. Credit to the tagged creator of the skeletal i based it on, check them out, they've got some good sketches! And a later inspiration posted by the amazing @thewoodparable that's more active on twitter #miniature #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #paleoartist #sculptor #sculpture #supersculpy #paleoart #terrorbird #art #artist #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #dinosaurart #iceage #iceageanimal #kelenken #kelenkenguillermoi #arksurvival #theropods #toymaker #prehistoricanimal #prehistoriccreature #paleoartista #paleoarte #titanis #phorusrhacos #creaturedesign #prehistoricbird #prehistoricbeast https://www.instagram.com/p/B5X6G6Iljf3/?igshid=o385wtz07t86

Little comparison between first big sculpture with super sculpey, kelenken guillermoi, ca June 2018, and my latest big sculpture, also kelenken g. Ca november 2019. What a differenc a year and a half have done! Can't wait to improve even more!💪 . . I just hope i get the mate of the 2019 one done before my style and skills have progressed too much👀 . . #art #artist #paleoart #paleoartist #paleoartista #paleoarte #kelenken #kelenkenguillermoi #terrorbird #artistofinstagram #artistoninstagram #phorusrhacos #creaturedesign #creaturedesigner #creatureart #phorusrhacus #phorusrhacid #throwback #2018vs2019 #sculpture #supersculpy #sculptor #theropod #dinosaurart #toymaker #iceage #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #improvement https://www.instagram.com/p/B62u2YfHjLS/?igshid=4swah8tnu7bj
