Happy portfolio day! I’m an artist with experience on projects for companies ranging from Wizards of the Coast to Walt Disney Animation, though my constant passion in art is always depicting glimpses of prehistoric worlds 🦖 #portfolioday #paleoart #paleosky #dinosaurart

Doodles for Hong Kong 🇭🇰
In response to the tragic Tai Po fire, I'm doing charity commissions. Anyone who puts over £25/250HKD into "Feeding Hong Kong" or Hong Kong SPCA can request a coloured doodle of any prehistoric animal 🙏

Trying to be more active here again. So starting my comeback with a short story in the form of a news feature from an alternative universe - one where the Pleistocene megafauna of mammoths, sabre-toothed cats, giant wombats and so much more survived to today petemrcooper.substack.com/p/the-last-b...
The Last Behemoths
They have survived humanity against all odds for millenia. But in an age of extinction, is hope now beyond reason for the charismatic megafauna of planet Earth?

What might be my favourite fossil has been just published by Kiat et al. 2025. Years ago I saw a pic of this Anchiornis specimen in nat geo article and I audibly gasped.preserving not only the feathers but also the original patterns as well. I made this drawing on the spot. Maybe its time to do v2.0

Finally came up with a composition to have a take on Giganotosaurus! The group behavior based on the remains of Mapusaurus seemingly showcasing that lifestyle. Otherwise, I always love reflections and unconventional approaches to showcasing well known animals! #paleoart #paleosky #giganotosaurus

The search for accuracy, especially in anatomy, is just a race to the bottom where all you get is stiff figures and mathematical looking backgrounds. Completely soulless drawing.
Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

Can I drag your attention to the artworks by contemporary Czech palaeoartist, Vladimir Rimbala. His works are a perfect mix of modern science and retro composition (🧵)

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one.
My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

Highlighting fantastic palaeoartists:
渔火 on xiaohongshu, a mixed-medium artist from China. Magical depictions of theropods. Pictures are panels from their Spinosaurus comic.
