Some researchers think Carnotaurus used its arms to find mates and I think that’s a very cute thing they could’ve done. Have a happy Valentine’s Day everyone! ❤️🦖
I’m so happy with all the love my Silly little guy got 💛. He got so much love that he has now found a special companion to be extra silly with.
Asked my mum which dinosaur to draw and she picked the absolute icon, T-Rex
I love this silly little guy
Hello, my name is Jaafar from North Gaza. I previously created a GoFoundMe donation campaign, and when I got $2,400, they deleted the campaign without knowing the reason. Please support me in my new campaign, Chuffed. Any amount you donate, even if it is small, will help buy flour and vegetables for my family. The price of everything we have is many times its normal price. Please help save my family from starvation! 🥹🙏
Please know that the beginning is difficult for everyone, donate even a small amount, it will definitely mean a lot to us 💔🥲

Stylized Archaeopteryx
I had alot if fun messing around with this, if you guys like it I might do it again sometime with a different dinosaur/ prehistoric creature (maybe Quetzalcoatlusl, microraptor or something else :]

Here she isssss, I love Riptor sm she's so scrungly and sillyyy, I went through an absolute journey with this, which is why I included my practice sketches as a show of how frustrated I got. I kinda had to relearn how to draw dinosaurs, which is gonna serve me well in the future, but absolutely did not serve me well in this moment.
I had probably 2 or 3 moments where I said "fuck it, I'm doing something else" and I'm really glad I stuck it through because I'M SO PROUD OF THISSS WEEEEEEE, it left me pretty mentally exhausted because of a bunch of other outside factors.
I also tried something that I've never really done before, which is a digital background, it looks really bad in some places if you look hard enough (like her teeth in the middle one, jesus christ) but overall I think it turned out alright, it opened the opportunity for quicker background work without sacrificing too much quality. I might add a background to the physical drawing in the future if I ever get the time. This thing absolutely overloaded my brain so I would prefer to not look at it for a very long time

(late post moment lmao) HERE SHE ISSSSSSSSSSSSSS, SO HAPPY WITH HOW THIS TURNED OUT
This is stargazerkittycat's dinosaur sona, Stargazer!! I absolutely love her design, and her colors gave me the opportunity to do something fun and make one side of her light and the other side dark, and I'm SO PROUD OF ITTT WEEEEEEEEEEEE I haven't drawn a dinosaur since I was like 8 years old so I was going completely off the dome for the posing. I tried to reference a 3D model of Blue from Jurassic World but it didn't help very much.
I decided to make a Parasaurolophus drawing, my favorite silly dinosaur❤️❤️
Depictions of iguanodon, pterodactylus, ichthyosaurus, plesiosaurus, hylaeosaurus and megalosaurus based on the crystal palace statues as well as their modern counterparts. The crystal palace dinosaur statues constructed in the 1850′s are both very impressive pieces of art as well as a striking demonstration of scientific progress in the field of paleontology, for all their inaccuracies they are still an extremely important piece of paleoart history.
'Microraptor and the Nest Guard' - an early-Cretaceous short by me.
I actually made a video documenting my animation process from start to finish for this specific short, so if you're interested, check it out on my YouTube channel!
The restaurant I went to tonight with friends had paper tablecloths and coloured pencils "for children to draw with". So I created some Fellows while waiting for pizza :)
Featuring Big Steppy the Edaphosaurus, King Chungo the Vast and Terrible the Cotylorhynchus, and Ramfy Rinkus the Rhamphorhynchus
A Cheap Imitation of You
Kinda irresponsible and misleading to try to pass off your gmo designer gray wolves as an animal that has not walked this earth in 10,000 years dont’cha think
Deinonychus Takedown for animation practice
a little story about seeing the past through the present - featuring razorbill, who is the closest living relative of the great auk, a bird that became extinct not so long ago.
- Native to the Arctic and sub-Arctic region and once numbering millions of individuals, Great auks became extinct mid-19th century. The last breeding pair, found incubating an egg, was killed on 3 June 1844, on request from a merchant who wanted specimens, with Jón Brandsson and Sigurður Ísleifsson strangling the adults and Ketill Ketilsson smashing the egg with his boot. The last individual was seen in 1852, leaving no hope that the species might be extant.
Hello, today is my birthday, and I would like to share a comic I made in the last year with you. It's called Broomistega and Thrinaxodon.
This comic was originally printed with yellow, fluorescent pink, light teal, and violet risograph inks. Physical copies are available in my shop.
I was being cancelled because apparently it was classist to put feathers on dinosaurs.
Both dream me and irl me were very confused.
I found these plastic dinosaur minies and decided to paint them to look like Lucky and Wuerhosaurus from paleo pines & and i will show you all the steps in case you want to do something like this yourself
This was my firs time painting minie figures and i tried using the same techniques people use for DnD figures so you can just look up those tutorials on youtube.
I found these ugly plastic dinosaurs on at a flee market for like 5 hryvnias and this is how they looked before their makeover:
First thing i did was wash them with soap and strip off all the spray paint from them using polish remover/acetone, untill they were this weird yellowish plastic color. (Idk if this step was necessary but i wanted to romoves all the dirt & dust so the paint sticks better)
Then i painted them fully with a dark color. I dont advise using pure black. I used a more dark-ish grey with a bit of blue so the undertone works better.
By the way here are these mfs near a match (for size comparison ofc).
Next i dry-brushed them with a cream color to bring out the texture and leave the dark color in the creases and shadows. I had to go over with a few coats so that they were not too dark.
Fore some reason they made these guys all wrinkly instead of scaly but it did help with the texture lol.
(The more i looked at them the more i saw how weird and inaccurate they are. Still cute though)
And the last steps were to cover them in colorfull washes:
The key is to go slowly, building up the colors layer by layer. I also added a bit of different hues in some places to make the colors less more alive (like a bit of pink on the plates, or some green in certain places idk it just gives more variety to the colors. with out it it the colors look a bit monotonous).
Also, seriously go play the game!!!! it`s just so cute. Dinosaur designs are cutified but still faithfull to how the animal looked according to science (minus the pastel colors lol) and you just know that it was made by true dinosaur lovers.
They do have a tumblr blog at @paleopinesofficial but i see their content more on tiktok
wow ignore that i havent posted here since last year. ANYWAYS !!!! somehow i forgot to post these guys alongside my Megaraptor i drew in november so 😭 here's some more fandinos for Paleo Pines !!!
"fandinos" being sorta misleading though since neither of these guys are dinosaurs lol. regardless, up first we have Tanystropheus who is infinitely ridiculous. then we have Sharovipteryx, who is equally infinitely ridiculous. both of these guys lived in the Triassic - and surprisingly, are likely related!
hello tumblr paleoart community. take this abelisaurus profile i did a bit ago - i think the osteoderms are a bit small but thats all lol. i love making dinosaurs rotund .... pure beast shape
Phenakistoscope assignment from last semester
I do occasionally enjoy being in dead fandoms… means my fanart preforms better by comparison to other tags (and also this series is literally so good I cannot wait for more physical copies to release oh my lord)
Individual pieces+extra anthro peet
