After 16 months and 103 layers it's finally finished... "A Portrait of Dilophosaurus" #Art #Palaeoart

A portrait of the carnivorous dinosaur Dilophosaurus. It's shown side-on, turning to its left to bring its face into view. Its colours are a mix of muted reds and pinkish creams, with notable darker red stripes on the neck. The famous twin crests atop its skull are mostly covered by large air-filled structures, with an almost balloon-like appearance, while the edges of the bones crest are tipped by rows of rounded keratinous spikes. A series of stripes quills stick up from the top of the neck, while the lower areas of the neck show a series of prominent skin folds. Its eyes are a piercing orange, and stand out against the more muted body colours. The background is a textured dark reddish-grey.

My chapter - authored with @tattersdill.bsky.social - in the new Palaeontology in Public book is "The ‘Spin’ in Spinosaurus: inventing a modern dinosaur superstar", discussing changing depictions and attitudes towards this now A-list dinosaur - read it here: uclpress.co.uk/book/palaeon... #palaeoart

A series of grey-shaded line drawings showing the changing shape of the sail-backed predatory dinosaur Spinosaurus over the last 100 years, moving through sometimes upright, sometimes spiny, sometimes T. rex-like depictions to longer-snouted, "newt-tailed" versions.

A #TrilobiteTuesday flashback: When I retired from @romtoronto.bsky.social at the end of 2016 one of my museum colleagues (& a good friend) made this for me. Phil isn't here on @bsky.app, but I can still thank him & acknowledge his talents & kindness! #stainedglass #SciArt #PalaeoArt #InverteFest

A human hand holds up a small, back-lit, stained glass panel depicting a graceful swimming trilobite in pale blue tones. It is surrounded by honey-coloured glass in a narrow metal frame.

More new #palaeoart posted to #Patreon recently. This is Pterorhynchus wellnhoferi, pterosaurs known to have had more than a dozen fine stripes on their cranial crests (of unknown colour) and very long, serrated tail vanes. Discussion at www.patreon.com/markwitton. #sciart

A flying reptile seen from underneath. It is striped grey-brown, with dark wings. The face has a semicircular crest of yellow colouring, also striped. It has a long, serrated tail vane. A circular window backdrop shows blue sky with a pale green canopy.

Palaeoart is as much a part of me as the sound of my voice. As soon as I could hold a pencil and I will do it until I die... #PalaeoArt #PaleoArt #SciArt #SciComm #Dinosaurs

Hello, I am an artist and palaeo student who just moved to bluesky (previously only posted on tumblr). I like drawing strange animals in interesting landscapes. Some examples of my recent art: #palaeoart #scientificart
