Just finished my painting of Enchoteuthis melanae! Shout out toTyler Greenfield for his blog post on the animal which I used as my primary reference for its appearance. Links to both his blogpost and this post on Artstation in the comments bellowhttps://www.artstation.com/artwork/J9kYKmhttps://incertaesedisblog.wordpress.com/.../reconstructi.../

Castorocauda and Chunerpeton

This is the first full painting I've finished since 2017 and hopefully just the start of a series of new paintings. I purposefully built this compositions around focusing on the more obscure elements of Castorocauda anatomy aside from its tail, which I feel is what usually gets all the attention in artwork concerning the animal. The plants featured in this painting are Wielandiella a divaricate bennettitalean from the same formation as Castorocauda and Chunerpeton.

Paintings I did waaaaaaaay back in 2016 as guest art  for the Saurian artbook released late last year. Ive waited until the hype died down to post them. They have some problems, the Brodavis one has some serious reflection issues, the Champsosaurus one lacks depth and feels empty, and the Thoracosaurus one has a lazily done background and foreground, but I figured I should eventually post them.

Hopefully not the only thing I do for Dinovember but no promises.
