Last art of the year! #SciArt As a fun pastime on my Christmas break, I looked into basal ceratopsians a bit and doodled them. Turns out they vary from cuddly little guys to beasts that would have made a mighty (and very bitey) steed. Close-ups of each one in thread 🧵:

A panorama-shaped collage of digital drawings of six species of basal ceratopsian dinosaurs, with a 170 cm tall human for scale. They are smallish dinosaurs (ranging from 10 to 600 kilos) with strong, parrotlike bills and ornamental quill-like protofeathers on their backs and/or tails.

Some days ago I made a thread on Pleistocene crocs in honor of Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age, and now I'm bringing it here too. Let me prefice this by saying that I of course understand their absence, obviously more unique fauna takes priority and I don't begrudge the team their choice
