You know, maybe if grass existed when Utahraptors lived, they would enjoy wallowing in it?

I have quite a back log of works to post!

This one is from inktober a couple of years ago depicting Mei-Long, the one under the log sporting her iconic pose how she was found fossilized.

Can I interest anyone in Transformers as dinosaurs? Specifically Optimus and Megatron?

I know I don't usually post Transformers but I am a rather massive fan of the franchise hehehehehehehe. I did my own take on what kinds of dinosaurs these two legendary characters would be and I felt sauropods were the most fitting >:D

Maybe I'll continue this little silly idea with other characters

Pterodactylus they can never make me hate you.

Here’s the references I used

Do I know if they actually waded? No. Do I think they might get stuck in the mud? Yes. Did I draw the beak too big? Also yes.

Did my own version of flocking (drawing a prehistoric fella in 20 minutes) while having a kind of headache and feeling weird (depressed?). Idk I’m just trying to figure out how to render and the only way tbh is to practice.

I love pterosaurs.

I know I should post the artfights I did but I’m like. So out of it lately.

Anyway top guy is Pteranodon longiceps, bottom guy is Dimorphodon macronyx.

Pteranodon would’ve lived in the western interior seaway, or along its shores, they’re ‘MURICAN and might have eaten fish. Not a paleontologist if someone wants to um actually be my guest.

Anyway please look at this picture of how they might have floated

Can you IMAGINE. Pterosaurs are so WEIRD I love them. Nothing extant is like them they’re all extinct. Like yes they filled niches just like some birds and mammals but we don’t got any descendants from pterosaurs. So it’s all sort of guess work.

Dimorphodon it’s debated on whether they ate mainly fish or insects but I lowkey was tired of drawing pterosaurs in water / next to water so I drew one hawking some rando bug.

And here’s my first skeletal of an actual animal after a long break. This time it’s Eocypselus rowei - Apodiform from Early Eocene. Notable for being somewhat between modern hummingbirds and swifts (though more of a treeswift) anatomically and systematically (to a degree) and likely having a feathery crest this small bird is known from a very well preserved specimen. And while it’s not the last common ancestor of hummingbirds and swifts it’s probably the closest we can get so far
