It's finally here! 😍 Everyone's favorite hadrosaur, painstakingly rendered with ink and brush by the unparalleled Natee @himmapaan.bsky.social, has now joined Sinosauropteryx in my collection. Go full-size and zoom...the details are finer than my fingerprints, conjuring a world from a silhouette. 🖤
Two original ink drawings by Natee Himmapaan set one above the other on a wooden tabletop. My hand frames the bottom left corner. Both are silhouette-style renderings of dinosaurs, the top of Sinosauropteryx leaping after insect prey in thick underbrush, and the bottom of Parasaurolophus trotting over low-growing foliage as a trio of pterosaurs soar in the background. The drawings are astonishingly detailed, with ingenious use of negative and positive inking to suggest patterns on the animals, skin folds, densely overlapping undergrowth, and so on.

An incredible experience today. The Agami Heron is a very rare species and one that's difficult to see. But today I made a new friend who discovered a rookery with over 300 of these incredible birds that are on a new property he bought.

A striking bird with deep blue and chestnut plumage perches among broad green leaves. Its long, sharp bill and red eye stand out against its smooth, sleek feathers and pale crown.

Today seems like an appropriate day to repost my old Spinosaurus illustration, complete with rainbow. 🌈
An illustration of Spinosaurus - a large sail-backed dinosaur splashing through an inland sea. Huge clouds of spray are thrown into the air, and the sunlight produces a rainbow above the dinosaur.

Apparently, it was #DinosaurDay, which also coincides with the beginning of #Pride month, so yay for us LGBTQ+ dino folk. Though really, every day is Dinosaur Day. 🦕🦖

I don't think I've posted this older Deinonychus drawing here. From 2019, the tail end of the days Before Covid.
Detail from a drawing in brown and graphite pencils of a Deinonychus standing on a broken tree trunk. Deinonychus is one of the most famous dromaeosaurs: feathered theropod dinosaurs that are perhaps most readily likened to ground dwelling predatory birds, but with a theropod snout instead of a beak. One of their most distinctive features is the large, sickle-shaped claw on their second toe. The drawing is detailed and intricate, and is photographed with a penny for scale, and one of the pencils it was drawn with.

a courting pair of female Terminonatator bond by cooperating in processing their latest kill. they rip into the juvenile mosasaur with their large teeth, ripping it apart by holding on to either end and pulling away with their muscular necks and flippers. the dappled light of the surface can be seen behind them Terminonatator is an extremely pin headed elasmosaur, long necked marine reptiles with four powerful flippers that they used to propel themselves through the water. Terminonatator had a very long neck and was most likely macropredatory based on the size of its teeth a mated pair of female Coelurus travel through an area of open scrubland, one of the females has found a particularly interesting stick that she shows to her mate. Coelurus is a small theropod dinosaur that has had a complicated history of study with many species being described and then split from the genus, it had a long neck and tail and most likely hunted small mammals and reptiles, maybe birds and amphibians a mated pair of male Apatosaurus greet each other with a nuzzle Apatosaurus is a kind of sauropod (typically long necked and usually large quadrupedal reptiles) and specifically an apatosaurine (a group of sauropods that were very robust with shorter necks than other sauropods). Apatosaurus had the thickest neck of the group and it's speculated that they would've used them to fight somewhat like the way giraffes do a pair of female Camptorhynchus labradorius (labrador ducks) mate in open water Labrador ducks are an extinct genus of duck closely related to the still living Steller's eider, they were presumed extinct in 1878. Their bills are large and robust as they fed on small hard-shelled animals living in the sediment. they most likely used their soft beaks to probe the bottom of coastal waters for molluscs and crustaceans, it was noted by fishermen that labrador ducks were sometimes caught on fishing lines baited with mussels

Taking on a Carboniferous journey. Need to challenge myself tackling usually avoided subjects (insects and plants in particular). Notice how I skipped the landscape wideshot atm? I struggle with vegetation lol
