I just realized that apparently I never shared this series here on Tumblr?? Â
I call it Living Paintings, as they are recreations of extinct animals that some artists actually saw and painted from memory, a long time ago.

Recent updates to this series: Glyptodon and Thylacine!
OK SO a frozen baby Homotherium mummy has been found in Siberian permafrost and everybody is going nuts (including me). I had to make another installmente for this series with a figurine that has long been debated to either depict either a lion or Homotherium; Despite anatomical details pointing to the latter, there was no record of surviving Homotherium from the time the figurine was dated to have been made, so it was mostly believed to have been a cave lion. However, the frozen cub closes that temporal gap and makes it more likely that this was in fact the subject of the sculpture. So even though itâs not a painting, here it is brought to life.
Two new updates:
A remake of the first ever piece I did for the series, the Megaloceros, given that although the piece of cave art I chose is often labeled as being that species, a more critical look to the antlers in particular makes me think itâs a red deer instead. I picked a more agreed-upon depiction of Megaloceros and also took the opportunity to make it a little more anatomically accurate.
