Two small and semiaquatic (possibly) dromaeosaurs from Late Cretaceous Asia. Natovenator polydontus and Mahakala omnogovae. Both species have been found to be closely related to Halszkaraptor

I have added these two to my plate of all Dromaeosaurs

working on early horses, i wanted to do a quick sketch to show how small Eohippus was compared to an extant horse (this one is about 150cm tall). as you can see, it wasn't big at all. a perfect little lap horse :)
#paleoart #sciart
A digital drawing of a modern horse (about 150cm tall) and a little Eohippus that is standing on its back, to show how small it was. The drawing is simple, just two animals on a dark background, with two stars shining above them, connected by a thin line. It's just a quick drawing that i'll probably use for a size chart in the future, if i continue to work on reconstructing more horse ancestors. (and if i'm being completely honest, it was just an excuse to do a boring horse study, that's all)

New to the internet #paleoart: "Ubirajara jubatus", the strangely filamented Brazilian compsognathid famous for its history as an illegally exported fossil. Here, it's signalling to us with colourful mouthparts and a fetching bower of twigs and pinecones. Drawn for @palaeogames.bsky.social.
A small bipedal dinosaur hunches over a dead branch against an arid, parched landscape. The dinosaur has yellow-orange quills over its back, face and tail, with paler legs and facial ruff. The snout is blue and the interior of the mouth yellow. Stiffened quills project upward from the shoulders. A collection of twigs and pinecones at the base of the image represents a bowerbird-like display structure.

You guys should know about one FREE art software I use which often gets skipped.

I make game assets, pixelart, drawings, and animations with it.

It's FireAlpaca. Srsly, its file format is smol half the size of psd thus easily shareable. It's simple and easy to use.

Some examples:

I don’t have the time to finish it but here is a quick study and sketch of Neovenator from today.

Posts from me will be slow until January because I am taking some much needed time off!
