In light of today’s palaeo news, and whilst not claiming to be a visionary genius or anything (that’s for history to judge… 😉) I’m just gonna drop my illustration of a quilled and spiky iguanodon from back in 2021.

Sometimes you don’t need to be good. Just lucky.

Finally, another fuzzy ornithischian: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... This is a big deal for dinosaur #paleoart, confirming some of what we've been doing for a while now, but also showing that we've probably underestimated how weird the integuments of these animals could be.

a very warm welcome to haolong dongi, a fascinating hadrosauroid from the early cretaceous yixian formation described by huang et al. 🎉 the near-complete holotype preserves highly unique integumentary structures unknown in other dinosaurs

Finally, I can break silence! I did a lot of creature design work for this show (collaborating, of course, with the production team) and think the animals are looking pretty good here! This was a lot of fun to work on - will be watching on Mar. 6!

For today’s sketch let me present you with Styracosaurus

Styracosaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous in North America. The arrangement of very long, 4-6 spikes protruding from its relatively short frill and long nasal horn is characteristic of this species
