Day 3: Kentrosaurus

Gave nighttime coloring a stab for this big critter — otherwise I am going to end up with a lot of green jungle-dwellers in this set

#ArtAdventCalendar #art #digitalart #paleoart #dinosaur #SciArt #paleontology #stegosaurus #mastoArt #creativeToots

Digital cel-shaded art of a kentrosaurus, a stegosaur notable for two big spikes poking out of its shoulders. The kentrosaurus browses an ancient African jungle at night under the light of a crescent moon. It leans against a cycad while perched on an isometric, square chunk of forest earth with trailing roots. Everything is painted with stylized blue and teal tones. The moonlight catches briefly on the kentrosaurus’s spines. Watermark on the image: http://hmcgill.art

Christopher DiPiazza has a beautiful watercolor of two Edmontosaurus up at his blog:

Day 2: Diplocaulus

One of my personal favorites! I love this guy’s head. If he existed I would have to make friends with someone who owned one so I could look at it every day.

Digital cel-shaded art of a diplocaulus, which is an ancient amphibian with a wide, boomerang-shaped head. The diplocaulus is depicted underwater in some kind of pond, floating over a chunk of pond dirt that contains underwater plans and fallen fern leaves dissolving into green muck. The animal has orange spots on its dark green skin, and the light of water overhead dances across its form.

Nanotyrannus lancensis and Nanotyrannus lethaeus

I will post an extinct animal every day until the 24th!

Day 1: Velociraptor

Chomp chomp! This guy was actually as small as a housecat.

#artadventcalendar #paleoart #art #digitalart #dinosaur #velociraptor #velociraptorawarenessday #mastoart #creativetoots

Digital cel-shaded art of a little velociraptor with a big nasty attitude. The velociraptor is posed in an attack position with its mouth wide open, tiny needle teeth ready to chomp. It is colored somewhat like a roadrunner with speckled brown feathers and red eyes. The velociraptor is perched on a square isometric chunk of rock meant to look like a bit of Gobi Desert where this dinosaur once dwelled millions of years ago. Tufts of desert grass stick out from the chunk.

Obligatory seasonal self-promo post: I make 3d printed animal skulls, keyrings, magnets, and #SciComm models. I design, print, and finish everything myself. Check out my Etsy for more!

A 3d printed eohippus (a prehistoric horse) skull. It’s tan colored and facing right. A US penny sits next to it, for scale.

A 3d printed model for demonstrating the cranial kinesis (movement) of a fish skull, with different parts in different colors. Watermark reads: Blue Appaloosa

Two 3d printed Strawberry Squid designs. The Strawberry Squid has a red body covered with pinkish specs and pinkish fins on the mantle. The eye on the left is small and dark blue, the eye on the right is large and greenish-yellow. The tentacles and suckers on the arms are tan. Each squid has a 1-inch (2.5cm) spit ring though the top of the mantle. Between them is a US penny for scale.

A 3d printed tiktaalik skull (a primitive tetrapod fish, with a flatted head like a crocodile), in tan, facing right. the mouth is propped open with a stick, and a US penny sits next to it.

Skull reconstruction of Jane the Nanotyrannus. Based it heavily off of the Burpee museum specimen.

The model is free to use/download. It can be viewed here: https://www.printables.com/model/1470179-jane-skull

1:35 scale sculpt of a torosaurus. Model was made in zbrush, renders were edited in Krita.

Aquilops americanus

Think this might be mostly finished? Might still poke at it a bit tho.

3d model of Diictodon skull reconstruction. I plan to do both tusked and non-tusked versions, so will add a tusk and pin boss later. To be 3d printed.

(Paleo People, I'd love feedback!)

#PaleoArt #3dModeling

Screenshot of a 3d model of a Diictodon, a prehistoric creature, side view. The skull is kinda turtle-like, with a "beak", but also has a prominent fang (although the actual tooth is missing).

Screenshot of a 3d model of a Diictodon, a prehistoric creature, top/side/back view. We can see the various bones inside the middle of the skull, and the top of the palette bones.

Screenshot of a 3d model of a Diictodon, a prehistoric creature, top/front/side view. We can see the various bones inside the middle of the skull, the eye socket, hole for the third eye, and the top of the palette bones.

Screenshot of a 3d model of a Diictodon, a prehistoric creature, back/bottom view. We can see the hole where the spinal cord exits the skull, jaw hinge, and the bottom of the palette bones.

Two megalania sculptures I printed up and painted. I based the colouring off of Komodo dragons and other various monitor lizards.

Irrefutable evidence: Found this two legged sauropod image in our art room today. So yes, they were a thing. (Made by Yan, 10, kid in my class)

a wooden dinosaur template with eyes and mouth on one side and two legs

Last Saturday night was a good night. I received the Lanzendorf - National Geographic PaleoArt Prize for Scientific Illustration at the 85th Annual Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, in Birmingham, UK. A huge thanks to Vera Korasidis at the University of Melbourne for commissioning "Megaraptorian in Gippsland."

Still working on the Diictodon skull 3d model, as well as a bunch of other projects. Dealing with some not-fun medication-related challenges lately, so progress is slow and things are frustrating.

#PaleoArt

Screenshot of a 3d model of a Diictodon skull, top/back/side three-quarters view, we're looking through the temporal fenestra, and can see the insides of the eye-sockets and top of the palette bones through the hole.

Venetoraptor gassenae

Ichthyosaurus sculpt I made. I referenced dolphins and sharks on this one
