“Victim of unexpected laughing via tumbling multituberculates”

I love my friends 🖤

Smiling bearded rogue, creased of face, happy of smile, with dimples showing the true depth of his happiness. Also wearing a hat

They really did choose some truly iconic artwork for this book, and I think this would be my first ever encounter of the fabled @cpdinosaurs.bsky.social since my copy is from 1988 and I’d only been alive a few years at that point 😅 Some truly beautiful vintage Palaeoart on display here

Pterosaurs restored with bat like wings flying above a gorgeous landscape. Check out the rays of the sun and those ferns

Megalosaurus looking a little leaner than its usual representation and again a stunning and detailed landscape

Provably one for @sophiesaurus98.bsky.social but while going through some boxes in my attic I found my childhood copy of John Man’s Dinosaur, which features some classic Palaeoart, as well as some rather lovely model photography. I might have found the reason I like so much foliage in my displays 😅

I finished my newest colouring page for my Dinosaur colouring book. This time featuring Sinosauropteryx, a fuzzy little theropod with a fabulous striped tail. You can support my work on ko-fi.com/saralutra

I will also make soon the first colouring pages available for download.

Linedrawing of a small dinosaur with a striped tail, running through the thicket, and looking at a large dragonfly. In between the ferns and mushrooms is also a small, shrew like mammal hiding away from the dinosaur.

Got around to framing up this awesome @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social Transformers piece that I commissioned a while back, Steve’s been involved in two of my childhood passions via Transformers and Dinosaurs, so it’s a real honour to have original art by a legend in the industry. Such a talent!

Black and white artwork of several transforming robots combined into a single gestalt entity, above them are planes flying and explosions and debris is everywhere

So as it’s almost that time of the year and I’m clearing my phone of pics here’s last year’s Parasaurolophus Palaeo Pumpkin. Based this off some gorgeous @serpenillus.bsky.social art he drew for me as part of his Patreon. Not sure if I’ll be doing one this year but these are always fun to carve 🖤

Was a massive influence on some of the first Dinosaurs I painted in 2023, the almost military like camouflage patterns were very inspiring. Such an awesome artist!

Sparrow Witch Harpy

Careful when looking through the hedgerow she might follow you home.

(Good excuse to practice ink technique)

A very energetic black and white ink drawing of a sparrow witch harpy. She’s looking directly at you. Her body is of a sparrow and her face is of a beautiful woman. I’ve used various ink techniques such as dip pen and my brushes.

A literary Iguanodon at the Earth Sciences Library. Do any other libraries have dinosaurs or other antediluvian creatures carved into the furniture?

After a 3-month hiatus, thread number 3! Band of Brothers is the third episode of WWD2025, and focuses on the coming-of-age story of George the teenage Gastonia as he is pursued by Utahraptor, framed around the Lorrie’s site quarry in the Cedar Mountain Formation. (1/40)

I’ve had a pretty rough month and a hugely positive thing about this hobby besides the community surrounding it is the escapism, sometimes you just need a tactile puzzle to tinker with and distract you. Occupy your mind with some engaging. It’s a big help ☺️

Titan Class Groove can then also double up as a homage or retool into Power Cycle so I’m totally down with this idea….

It’s a real joy to paint, it’s so gnarly and textured! Plus it looks adorable in all its chunky glory!

Today’s fossil friday is a WIP of a commission piece for noted palaeontologist, podcaster, author, mate, international jet setting Pterosaur/Tyrannosaur/Spinosaur expert and all round legend @davehone.bsky.social

Happy Fossil Friday!!

Ochre, white, red, black and brown patterned Dinosaur toy. The body is chunky, the scales tabular, the noggin is huge. The beak is sharp, the tail and head share the sane colours for signalling and it’s been a joy to paint so far
