Did a Nanotyrannus lethaeus restoration also btw.

Sorry If I haven't posted anything here in a while. I've been a bit busy with school work and preparing for finals. But anyhow I've managed to do a restoration based on a paper from October 30th that finally proved the validity of Nanotyrannus. So I drew N. lancensis.

I hope I'm not too late. I'd like to wish a Happy 120th Birthday to the Tyrant Lizard King itself🎂🎈💯🔥

This past sunday, I learned that it was the 30th anniversary of the discovery of the Giganotosaurus and I quickly decided to do my own take of the animal. I haven't drawn much of the animal in the past so I'm glad I was able to draw it again both to honor Ruben Carolini and improve my art skills.

The other week a newly described Iguanodontian from the Early Cretaceous of England was described named Istiorachis macarthurae. So I did an illustration reading the paper first and closely following the skeletal and I even used Argus Monitors (Varanus panoptes) as a good reference for color scheme.

It feels like I haven't posted anything on here in a while, so I'll just show off this illustration of my OC Kota's 2nd transformation along with a sketch from @chukapower.bsky.social showing off the sketch he made yesterday.

A big shout out to @chukapower.bsky.social for making this artwork for me featuring my OC Kota meeting the Briefs for the first time with Piccolo & Yamcha in the background along with the rest of West City. The background colors are inspired by some vapourwave art that I've seen before.

Just finished a Stegotherium drawing specifically the species S. notohippidensis, which was described in a 2009 paper. It comes from the Santa Cruz formation of the Santacrucian stage of the Miocene epoch 17.5-16.3 MYA. I used the Nine-Banded Armadillo for reference as they're closely related.

I know I'm three days late and I haven't drawn anything in a few months because of school and stuff but I decided to draw an Ingentia prima for #internationaldinosaurday. I couldn't access the paper that formally described it so I used
@chrisdipiazza.bsky.social blog post for reference.

Sorry if I haven't responded in so long. But here's my illustration of the newly described Tameryraptor, the new Egyptian Carcharodontosaur.

Feels like I haven't posted anything on here in forever. But I've decided to do one last paleoart piece before the year ends. It's a sequel to my Wakey Wakey Torvosaurus drawing I did back in January. Here the same male Torvosaurus watches the sunset with the newly named Allosaurus anax.

A WIP that I started working on earlier today. It's a concept art for a dragonball short story that I first did back in July/August and updated a few times from September-November. Hopefully once I have enough money I can commission an artist or two to design the characters and action sequences.

Some drawings I did over the summer right featuring what happened to Kota right after he was adopted by the Brief family. Basically Bulma showing Kota the Atrium at Capsule Corp.
