An eight ton Spinosaurus searches for its next meal 95 million years ago in shallow waters of what is today Egypt. Not AI. #ArtAdventCalendar #dinosaurs #paleontology #monsters
An eight ton Spinosaurus searches for its next meal 95 million years ago in shallow waters of what is today Egypt. With a massive crocodile-like head and enormous muscular body, this terrifying carnivore was larger than the Early Cretaceous Suchomimus and may have been mightier even than the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex of approximately the same period.

Mollusk of the subclass Ammonoidea in a Jurassic sea 195 million years ago. Made with 3ds Max, Vue and Photoshop.

#ArtAdventCalendar #ammonites #evolution #science #paleontology
Mollusk of the subclass Ammonoidea in a Jurassic sea 195 million years ago. This specimen's planispiral shell is about six inches in diameter. Ammonites were plentiful in the Earth's oceans for about 400 million years becoming extinct, along with the dinosaurs, about 66 million years ago during the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) extinction event. While resembling modern shelled nautiloids, these once plentiful mollusks are more closely related to living octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish.

#ArtAdventCalendar #microbiology #genetics #science #pathology
Speculative illustration of an eviscerated coronavirus. The diameter of these virions is approximately 100 nanometers (0.1 microns). The virion in the foreground has broken open revealing internal contents including protease enzymes and rope-like capsids. Coiled strands of ribonucleic acid (RNA) spring forth from the ends of the capsids. Also visible are coronavirus E-proteins, M-Proteins, and glycoprotein spikes.

Speculative illustration of a brown dwarf illuminated by a nearby star. Made with Blender and Photoshop.

#ArtAdventCalendar #browndwarfs #spaceart #science #astronomy
Speculative illustration of a brown dwarf illuminated by a nearby star. Made with Blender and Photoshop. The “sunward” side of this brown dwarf reveals a gas giant similar in appearance to the planet Jupiter. Unlike Jupiter, this brown dwarf is 13 to 65 times more massive while its diameter is only slightly greater than Jupiter’s due to its greater density. Also, unlike Jupiter, the shaded side reveals a relatively dim magenta glow, a result of lithium and/or deuterium fusion.

How Mars and its moon Phobos might appear from a distance of about 100 miles from Phobos' surface. Made with Cinema4D, Bryce, and Photoshop.

#ArtAdventCalendar #mars #spaceart #science #astronomy
This is how Mars and its moon Phobos might appear from a distance of about 100 miles from Phobos' surface. Here Phobos is passing over the low martian plains of Syrtis Major. Below the plains extending down to Mars' terminator and beyond is the heavily cratered Terra Sabaea. Clouds of water-ice crystals form at the terminator between light and dark.
