Happy #PortfolioDay!
I'm a palaeontology student and mostly draw various unusual animals (both extinct and extant), and like doing interesting vegetation and backgrounds! I also do some more technical scientific illustration.

I finished this drawing today: a hermit thrush. It’s one of my favourite local birds: they are a bit shy and sound like flutes in the trees. #Birds #SciArt

Only two pieces tonight on #paleostream
Funnily quite similar in lighting conditions :P
First is the Hell Creek mosasaur second is Kaatedocus, taking into account the recently described melanosomes and their potential for coloration.

A somewhat liberal interpretation, but definitely inspired by your study!

The amount of details of past life preserved in the fossil record never ceases to amaze me. Nor does the creativity and tenacity of paleontologists, working to tease out that information. What a cool study!

More Herefordshire animals.
Offacolus, Kenostrychus, Punk, and a faint Cinerocaris in the background.

Eider Portrait (male)

I just love the pastellic colors of these ducks feathers, and their straight beak gives them such a noble look.

Fresh off the digital canvas, my take on the Carboniferous verte... arthro... mollu... er... bilaterally symmetrical animal Tullimonstrum gregarium. Tully monsters are true palaeontological enigmas: 70 years after they were named, we still don't know what they are. #paleoart #sciart #fossil

New #paleoart on #FossilFriday: #Tiktaalik sees the world. Discussions of early #tetrapods often focus on limbs and lungs, but major changes also took place in their eyes. Seeing further and clearer than any animal before, they were the first to clearly see sunsets, stars, and the moon. #sciart
