A pair of Spicomellus, a recently described basal ankylosaur, meet up on a beach in Jurassic Morocco. One is shaded by a rock face, while the other lies down, soaking up the sun.

A lone Diplobune minor peers down from the canopy, its slumber disturbed by a light shining from the ground below. Around it flutter a swarm of moths and other nocturnal insects, gathering in the new light source.

Yee, I based its coloration of off a bunch of tortoise and terrapin species cuz they seem pretty close in ecology (low browsers that burrow around sometimes)

Got commissioned by my school newspaper to paint some local Californians
#naturalhistoryart #procreate #digitalart #california #commissions #wildlifeart #californiawildlife
A Western fence lizard (Sceleropus occidentalis) standing on a rock coated in two different species of rock tripe (Umblicaria sp.) A grove of woody stalked kelp (Pterygophora californica) billowing in the surf. Feeding on these algae are purple sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus), and hiding in between the stalks are a school of queenfish (Seriphus politus). A brush rabbit (Sylvilagus bachmani) rests on an asphalt path besides some flowers. A close up of some popcorn flowers (Plagiobothrys bracteatus).
