Spear and Fang from Genndy Tartakovsky's magnificent cartoon, "Primal".
An action packed epic starring a caveman and his T-Rex companion (with a healthy dose of unprecedentedly good story telling and emotion) was practically tailor- made for me...

As I've said before, Scarlet Witch is way more interesting as a villain...

"Daredevil: The Man Without Fear!"
Finally got a chance to play around with some color on this DD piece from a few weeks back. Nestled somewhere between Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Silver Surfer, Matt Murdock would be one of my dream Marvel characters to work on (even if in a cover-only capacity).

Decided to throw some colors down on some of my recent Dinosaur / Paleontology inspired illustrations. Here is my "Elasmosaurus Hunting Party" piece with some beachy vibes to it.

A sky battle between Arambourgiania, a late cretaceous pterosaur. These azhdarchids were possibly some of the largest flying animals of all time.

A Parasaurolophus herd crossing an arid landscape.
I've been finding National Geographic photography to be endlessly insightful for inspiring compositions in my work lately. There's true authenticity in natural photography that really lends itself towards inspiring art that feels lived in.

An Elasmosaurus hunting party. I just started "Prehistoric Planet" (days after drawing this piece), and nearly spat out my drink when I saw the third episode in which three Elasmosaurus are shown hunting like this...
"Parallel Thinking" is wild.

Argentinosaurus (One of the largest animals to ever walk the earth) with a bit of extra plumage and spike details because there is nothing in the fossil record to say whether this is wrong or right... but I am most likely very wrong with this depiction.

"Walkway For Mammoths"
Taking a stab at building up my paleoart portfolio with a wider range of dinosaur and prehistoric animal illustrations. Mammoths are incredibly fascinating, and given our knowledge of modern elephants, it makes you wonder how complex their relationships were.

Taking reprieve from the hot Cretaceous heat, the Spinosaurus finds itself in a shallow pool to cool off in.

My name's Michael Pickard, I am an illustrator and occasional writer predominantly making comics (and occasionally dinosaur art when the mood strikes me).

"King Kong"
The original giant monster. I've considered doing a self-published Kong comic before, but I think it's been done so well by other talents that I wouldn't be adding much to the discourse.

"Daredevil: The Man Without Fear!"
I have yet to start watching "Born Again", but I will definitely get around to it by the time the season has wrapped up. Sometimes you just need to cut loose and draw some Daredevil, you know?

Just throwing this out into the universe:
If any cool writers want to team up to make some comics, hit me up! I've been wanting to collaborate on projects for a little while, and would love to team up for something.

I've been toiling with an idea for a short story (for a few months now, on and off) about a young boy in the 30's discovering a magic wand. I haven't seemed to get very far with the script, but this initial concept sketch brings me a lot of joy every time I look at it.
