Basilosaurus, which means “King Lizard,” was actually a whale that lived 30-45 million years ago. Scientists have also just published a paper indicating that it was likely apex predator.

When I got the list of illustrations for this book, I was very excited to try my hand at the age-old trope of mosasaurs snatching pterosaurs. I had a lot of fun painting the waves, its not something I get the opportunity to do much. Its too bad for that Pteranodon though, probably not gonna work out well for you buddy. Its okay, giant lizards are way cooler than bird-bats with man bodies. Earlier this year I had the opportunity to work on a new book called Monster Sharks: Megalodon and Other Giant Prehistoric Predators of the Deep and got to paint a bunch of fun prehistoric sea critters.

You can get the PSD of this illustration with every muscle on its own layer here: gumroad.com/l/HYckA Holy moly its finally done. I started this illustration in August of 2017 and over the next year and 320 hours later(the longest I’ve ever worked on anything), its done! I present to you what is to my knowledge, the most accurate and rigorous Tyrannosaurus rex illustration out here.

As some of you guys know, T. rex is far and away my favorite animal. I’ve wanted to do a T. rex anatomy sheet for years and I finally had the opportunity to do that here. I used every resource available, every trick I know, and all of the energy I had on this piece. I seriously thought completing this would kill me haha. I spent months trying to figure out the muscles from a multitude of scientific papers, watched a dozen alligator dissection videos, and had the steady guidance of Scott Hartman. I drew every muscle, each on their own layer. This is the most in-depth anatomical reconstruction of any extinct dinosaur. Only after spending months on the skeleton and muscles came the laborious task of painting the skin. Every single scale on the head is hand drawn, no fancy brush tricks, just insane perseverance. The scales of the body were achieved using a custom brush made from the scale impressions from T. rex fossils. I took great care to create a brush for the body that would look hand drawn in, not like most scale brushes where they can look like artificial stamps. The color palette is largely inspired by a couple of animals no one has ever guessed, and probably never will. I tried to make this the most believable animal I could. This is not a movie monster. Also for those who would like to know, his name is Goathrob. I consulted with the paleontologists Scott Hartman and Mark Witton on this project. For a full break down of the design process, Tom Parker and I have prepared an extremely thorough blog post on why we decided to change the Saurian T. rex here www.sauriangame.squarespace.co…

Fictional Architecture

As special effects budgets continue to grow, the architectural wonders that TV, film and video game producers create seem to get more and more impressive.

From the castles of Westeros to the imaginative, colorful designs of Studio Ghibli, they compiled some of the most iconic and interesting architectural feats that they feel best represent six of their favorite fictional universes. In order to capture the finer details and the feel of each building, they’ve illustrated each one with a pen and paper – and they are pretty happy with the results!
