Spinosaurus ~ spine lizard 🦴🦎
.
It’s been exciting to see the unveiling of the new spinosaur species ‘Spinosaurus mirabilis’ - a new unicorn for the palaeo community 🦄💀
.
I thought it would be cool to look at the comparison between the two heads of each species!
Lunchtime sketching ✍🏼
Iguanodon ~ iguana-tooth 🦷🦎
.
Its felt good to pick up my iPad again and get back to my hadrosaur series, especially after the recent exciting discovery of Haolong dongi!
.
It inspired me to look at my Iguanodon design and made me wonder whether I should look at with or without quills!

It hasn’t been the best start to the new year ♥️

I went through many colour variations to find the right ‘look’ and I ended up going for this murky swamp-like palette

Ice age tar pits

I thought I would share my initial sketch and composition of my next big piece! I’ve had a long time obsession with the La Brea Tar Pits and now I want to create a design to showcase this incredible fossil trap!
.
What do you think? You do like this elongated design?

Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age ❄️

I love it when you watch something that sparks your imagination and gets your creative thoughts flowing again. This new Apple TV series has done just that - the CGI and designs of the creatures are STUNNING!
.
Do you have a favourite scene/creature from the series?
Ornithischia ~ bird hip 🦅🦴🌿

Pterosauria tree (vintage edition) ~ 🦅🌳

Alongside my ‘black edition’, I have also tested how my pterosaur illustration would look with a ‘vintage’ natural history illustration background’
.
What do you guys think? Which version do you prefer? The black or vintage background?

A stylised pose of the iconic ‘frozen in time’ fossil of Velociraptor and Protoceratops
Velociraptor & Protoceratops ~ ‘Mongolian Survival’ 🦅🇲🇳
.
I unveiled this new design at @dinoconuk.bsky.social This is the first time I’ve combined two figures together to make a scene and I felt that the iconic fossil of these two would be perfect subject matter to try this out!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words Andy! I hope to see you and your wonderful art at another event very soon 😊
A photo of four of Emily Higgs prints, featuring colourful, stylised and scientifically-informed pterosaurs.
(4/n) other artist whose work I was able to see and purchase at the event. Firstly, @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social whose beautiful, stylised palaeoart I have admired for years. I picked up a few gorgeous pterosaur cards that you can see here.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your support 😊
Artwork by Emily Higgs showing the heads, necks and sometimes bodies of several genera of sauropods of different sizes and colour ways, all looking towards the last of the image. There’s a small grey person icon at bottom left for scale. The title text centre top is Sauropoda, subtitled Lizard Footed. On the left it says Herbivore, and on the right, Saurischian. At the bottom is a key to the genera: 1. Nigersaurus, 2. Amargasaurus, 3. Bajadasaurus, 4. Shunosaurus, 5. Isisaurus, 6. Ceriosaurus, 7. Ampelosaurus, 8. Apatosaurus, 9. Diplodocus, 10. Camarasaurus, 11. Mamenchisaurus, 12. Ruyangosaurus, 13. Alamosaurus, 14. Dreadnoughtus, 15. Argentinosaurus, 16. Brachiosaurus, 17. Paragotitan
Cool #paleoart : Sauropoda by @emilyhiggs-art.bsky.social. Not in her trademark folded style, but v fine & v Emily nonetheless!
Another one of the prints I bought at @dinoconuk.bsky.social (technically @tpbunny.bsky.social procured this for me).
Thank you so much! Hopefully you’ll be able to come to future ones 😊
All set up and ready for @dinoconuk.bsky.social if your attending over the weekend, please come over and say hi! 😊🦖🦕
