Let’s work together to make a better future where AI is universally understood to mean Allosaurus Images.

finally posting some #paleostream flocking, i keep forgetting about that, whoops Himalayasaurus, Typothorax, Lunataspis and Kunpengopterus #paleoart #sciart

Two digital sketches, 20 min each.
Top: Himalayasaurus diving down to the bottom of the shallow sea to scratch its neck against the rocks. It's quite dark in there, the sun goes through the water and it's either a sunset or a sunrise, who can tell? It's pretty either way.

Bottom: Oh well. It's a sunny day in the Late Triassic. One Typothorax is looking at another, one of them is confused, and the other one is dead. Whoops.
The dead one is in the mud - probably got stuck on it's back and couldn't get up. Unlucky one. The alive one stands at the edge of the mud and saying "what". I'd be confused too.

Two colored digital sketches on one pages.
Top: it's a shore scene - there's water and warm Ordovician sand... and some Lunataspis, little horseshoe crabs. One got flipped on the back by the waves, but don't worry - there's another crab that is flipping it back on its feet. There's also a third crab, doing its best by being cute and just vibing on the shore.

Bottom: Ah! Two male Kunpengopterus on a branch, excited about seeing each other. They're white, with some dark stripes going down the neck from the dark head, the crest on their head is bright orange. They sniff each other and getting close, tails up, tense poses - who knows what happens next, maybe they'll be friends. Or else.

The latest #paleostream flocking! I just wanted to draw clouds. The next personal theme is a secret 👀 Zhejiangopterus, Bolg amondol, Diplobune, Iberomesornis. More info in alt as always! #sciart #paleoart

Two digital sketches on one page, 20-30 min each (i worked on them just a little after the stream)

Top: a stormy scene, the sea is calm for now, there's no waves, but a big storm is coming. You can see how dark it is under the heavy cloud, some leaves flying past the camera as the storm rushes the wind forward... But the leaves aren't the only thing that is flying past... And unfortunately, this thing is not even flying. A dark colored pterosaur Zhejiangopterus (that might just be as tall as you) just... stands there, looking at you, beak forward, not even blinking. It doesn't care about the storm behind. You have a few seconds to decide what to do.

Bottom: something to change the mood! A quite peaceful scene, nice golden clouds against the blue sky, and a big lizard Bolg amondol flicking it's slightly blue tongue. The creature itself is grey, with some yellow markings on the head and neck. No ill intentions unlike the creature in the first sketch, i'd say.

Two digital colored sketches on one page, 20-30 minutes each.

Top: Diplobune at night, probably in the trees (as you can see a couple of branches close to the camera), illuminated by the bright moon behind it. It's very fluffy. Probably very soft to touch too. The creature is kinda deer/kangaroo looking, mostly brown, with some white spots around the eyes, on the neck, and the fur in the ears.

Bottom: A holy Iberomesornis. Not literally, but it's flying up in front of a cloud and some iridescence above it, so it looks quite holy if you ask me. Nonetheless, Iberomesornis was a small Cretaceous bird that could fit in your hand. On this drawing it's quite dark, illuminated from behind, but it has quite a few dark spots on the wings.

"WWD, Ornithocheirus" (Is this one is a little awkward following the current revelations at the con(if you know, you know). But this piece was made to commemorate the passing of Ben Bartlett and to that, i hold this piece highly.) #DinoconUK #BROSKINart #art #Ornithocheirus #Paleoart

"Carnotaurus in Ancient Argentina" (This one was in development for a while, but then all i had to do was give it some harsh sunlight on the side and it was an instant fix for progression) #DinoconUK #BROSKINArt #Art #Dinosaurs #Paleoart

"Naomi & Spencer: Meadow of the Gorgon (Blank)" (This one is a poster for my Portfolio project seeking to replicate a 90's magazine cover for a new anime. if you're all good i might even finish a full animatic as a proof of concept.) #DinoconUK #BROSKINArt #Dinosaurs #Gorgosaurus #art

A full A3 sized poster of busted up jeep wrangler called the "AN6L3R" getting snagged in the jaws of a black Gorgosaurus as it drives from the desert into a fern meadow populated with red flowers. the driver (Spencer) braces as the jeep is being pulled and the gunner (Naomi) stands in the passenger seat with her foot on the open roof holding a modified Grizzly 50 Calibre.

We are aware that during one of this year’s talks, controversial statements about the promotion of generative AI in palaeo-media were made. This component of the talk was not included in the presentation brief that we approved for show.
We want to make it clear that DinoCon does not support the use of generative AI in any way. We’d like to thank the amazing array of artists and creators that joined us this year at DinoCon 2026 who we will continue to support in future.

Paleontology term from the native Siberians: Upon discovering tusks & body remains thawing from the permafrost in Khanty-Mansia region, local Ugric Mansi people gave them a name mē̮ŋ-ońt (“earth-horn”), which evolved to become the word MAMMOTH! 📷Sculpture in Khanty-Mansia

RIP Sam Neill, truly a king of cinema, and by all accounts one of the good guys. Aside from his film work it was always a delight to see his super chill farm life with his chickens Usain Bolt, Meryl Streep and Bryan Brown. Just seemed like a lovely person, and a terrific actor.
