Me and my latest piece! #artvsartist
So so proud of this drawing! And very excited for the future! It was seen by many big pros in the sphere, lovely to see all of the reactions <3
The graphite is glowing a little in light of course.

I recently teamed up with Dino and Dog (www.myminifactory.com/users/Dino%2...) to make a 3D printable model of the rhynchosaur Fodonyx that I named way back in 2008. Nikola has done an amazing job and made some awesome renditions of it, including some showing speculative burrowing behaviours!

My take on Nanotyrannus.
It’s been a while since I’ve drawn something „just because“.
Nanotyrannus is real and here is my view.
I am not completely satisfied with how it turned out but I’m happy to be back with some own artwork again :)

A recent piece I did for work - Archaeopteryx! Don't get too excited though, this isn't a concept for a VFX animal, moreso just a one-off illustration. It was a really fun exercise in learning how to render out bigger swathes of feathers!

Science IS fun!
It sheds new light on the knowledge we seemed to have, and admitting to ‚be wrong‘ and be open to all the new insights makes someone a great scientist.
To more discoveries!

Nanotyrannus is real.
For years I’ve considered many mid-sized gracile tyrannosaurs to be juvenile T. rex.
But I was wrong. This stunning new skeleton of a mature long-armed small tyrannosaur is clearly a different species.
Isn’t science fun?!
