Tonight’s Flocking #paleostream sketches: a Thylacine grabbed by the tail by a Komodo Dragon, a Dollocaris just vibing in the water column with some cephalopods, a Mesosaurus basking on the shoreline, and a Discokeryx running away and screaming.

Quick sketch for #WorldCrocDay, a standoff in Bajo de la Carpa. A Notosuchus terrestris and Neuquensuchus universitas begin hissing, Neuquen standing tall and Noto stepping back, after bumping into each other while foraging.

In the Late Pleistocene, northwest of what is now Melbourne, a pair of Propleopus sit below a River Redgum tree after a day of foraging. One of them has caught a Bush Rat, and they will eat it together. Above them is a pair of Yellow Rosellas, waiting for the Propleopus to move so they can forage.
Tonight’s flocking-together #paleostream sketches: Ichthyovenator laying around, Europasaurus swimming between islands (above a filter-feeding pachycormid), a screaming Gaylordia, and an Emuarius kicking an early Thylacine away from its mate.

Another addition to an ongoing series of mine depicting prehistoric cave/rock art animals as they could have been in life. The whole series can be seen here: shorturl.at/Z4C22#Sciart#paleoart#artbyjulio

Family destroyed, world collapsing, and back aching
And yet, she won’t be anyone’s campfire dinner tonight. She may be among the last of the great birds, but she’s not going down without a fight.
Inspired by the recently published overview of Genyornis anatomy/systematics.

Two small families of social mammals (Hydrodamalis cuestae and Albireo savagei) passing by each other under the setting sun, off the coast of California during the late Pliocene. There is no malice or prejudice, only caution and curiosity (and bisexual lighting). Happy pride month!

Just spent most of the afternoon researching the indigenous people of the land I now live on, and it’s a bit of a tumultuous tale. People have inhabited the Saugahatchee Creek Watershed and surrounding region at least since the late Pleistocene, but left no names to remember them by. Within the…
Non-Australians following me, I suggest you take a look at whether or not you're situated on first nations land, learn the history of the first people of the land, not the history of the people who usurped it. Even learn some of the language if you have the time.
Guanlingsaurus, my skeletal restoration of this giant ichthyosaur. A short, toothless snout, high vertebral count, and reduced ossification acrodd the skeleton make this a very unique animal
Tonight’s flocking-together #paleostream sketches: front view of Omnidens, Thaisaurus chasing small fish, Kolenken standing tall, and a male Brachytrachelopan strutting across the land. #paleoart
Quick colored sketch of a Hemipsalodon grandis wrestling with a subadult Megacerops kuwagatarhinus head-on, attempting to tire it. I decided to sketch this after looking into the Eocene fauna from the Cypress Hills formation, and finding quite a long and varied list. #paleoart#eocene#Hemipsalodon
Tonight’s flocking #paleostream sketches, all Mesozoic interestingly: Qianzhousaurus closely chasing an oviraptorid, four Yezoteuthis hanging out, a belly view of Shastasaurus, and a massive deceased Ptychodus attracting the attention of a Terminonaris and some birds. #paleoart#marineart
Quick sketch of #Orrorin tugenensis, a Hominid living in Miocene Kenya, finding out after poking a large porcupine. Inspired by Miniminuteman’s YouTube video on Orrorin.
From two #Paleostream formation streams ago, on May 4th, I made this size chart for Joschua to use as reference. However, it was missing a few details and needed some touch-ups so here’s the final piece. Some things may be missing or miss-scaled, it was hastily sketched over the course of two weeks.
And here’s the most recent Friday’s #Paleostream sketches, colorless this time: a prancing male Maiasaura, a Sigillmassasaurus facing off with a plesiosaur, a Boreaspis just swimming and vibing, and an uncanny Gigantopithecus
Haven’t posted in a little bit, so here’s April 19th’s Flocking #Paleostream sketches (I’m doing normal-size drawings again): a pair of pink Ichthyotitan, a snoozing Tropeognathus, a vibrant bull Einiosaurus, and a Sinosauropteryx attempting to hunt a larger Caudipteryx.

Although the drainage pond on the edge of my neighborhood looks like just a nice wetland-in-the-making from afar, it holds a terrible secret just under the rye grass. Two or sometimes even three layers of cheap, thin, plastic netting coats the hillsides surrounding the bottom of the pit…
Brachauchenius, a massive pliosaurid, chases an ichthyosaur near a gigantic algal bloom fueled by the intense climate change that would result in the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event.
A collection of cool creatures I’ve found over the past month as the weather keeps warming: a scarab beetle, a smooth earth snake, an assassin bug, and a leaf-tent-making caterpillar.

Idk how I keep posting these things so late, but here’s last Friday’s flocking #paleostream mini-sketches: Altispinax sitting amongst a burnt forest, a brightly colored Thyreosaurus, an Ornithoprion doing a backflip to catch prey, and a Mapusaurus yawning.
A couple days late, but here’s the latest set of mini-sketches from last Friday’s Flocking #paleostream: a mother Mobulavermis swimming with her many offspring, an absolute chonk of a Saltasaurus, a Silurian being snatched by an Ocepesuchus, and a Psilopterus just loafing at the top of a hill.
