When I was a boy, my father would pay to my mother aalimony on account of his three sons, but for which he refused a portion to me. So I got to wear stuff from Goodwill, and my mother tried to make sure I got *something* new. We were poor. So Vime's philosophy of shoes is POIGNANT.
Heads up: since this name honors the Di-Ne, the Navajo, it's pronounced dih-neh-venator, rather than the snazzier at-first-glance look of "DIE-na-venator," which, while awesome sounding, isn't as awesome as DYE-ne-vator: the killing escalator dinosaur.

Welcome to Skeletal Drawing 4.0! | Skeletal Drawing
Welcome to the completely overhauled SkeletalDrawing.com. For the last month and a half I've been working on a ground-up overhaul of the website. I'd like to explain a bit of what's changed and why, h...

Hello, I'm a frelance artist/painter from Košice, Slovakia 🇸🇰, with a profound interest in the natural history of rodents, carnivores and others.. as well as history and lores of balto-slavic and uralic societies. I will be delighted to produce an artwork for you! contact: trogopterus@gmail.com
I've updated my portfolio site with ALL the artwork I've done for @restingdinoface.bsky.social over the last couple years, including the upcoming book, Tyrant Lizard Queen! korybing.com/paleoart
"setting dolomites" two Tanystropheus H. fight at sunset for... territory? mates? that half eaten fish in the sand? who knows really. extremely proud of this one! such pretty colors 🤤
Well, fracture across the proximal (cuboid) articulation of the fifth metatarsal has be bumming. Lose. But hey, I knew and could talk to the doctor about the nature of my foot with ease. Win? I find I much hate going to and talking with doctors, on account of interversion and trauma. Still, win.
These are brilliant, gorgeous, and evocative of a culture I have only tried studying for fiction deep-dives. A lot of original concepts. The Sinosauropteryx tail defies the typical racoon pattern you see elsewhere! That Plateosaurus evokes the Xuanwu (Genbu) really well!

So, I'm home with an injured foot (ice, wrapped, bored) so I thought I would mention something about the Terras et al paper that's really nice to see, which is Figure 6. (link below) I have very few comments, it's really beautiful by Matheus Gadelha. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....
if you ever wonder what it's like to be an artist: you can draw your favorite drawing one day and then the next day, every line you draw is the ugliest line that has ever been created
The Ischigualastia from Surviving Earth appear to have a roughened pad of skin on their heads, and that seems to be what they headbutt with. Don't know if there's any anatomical evidence supporting this, but it's an interesting idea?
I'm trying to find a good color scheme. Right now I have evil gremlin from gremlins and albino.
One of the things I've talked about when it comes to depicting ornithischians with rostral beaks is the assumption that because there is a beak on the mandible, inferred from the predentary's mere existence, there must be one on the premaxilla (or they reinvent the rostral bone to suit). 1/Thread
If it helps to visualize the Muttaburrasaurus "concha," this is how I saw it, based on the 3D models made of it by the recent study authors: First, A, cylinder. Which is stretched, B, on one side into an aerofoil. Which is then pinched, C, to make a boxy "balloon." A typical balloon, D, compared.
A Very Peculiar Ornithopod. #SciArt #Dinosaur #ornithischian #elasmarian_or_thescelosaur_who-knows? #Australia An attempt at modeling the skull and its particular nasal "conch" (and I'm likely to get flak for that term, but it's better than "vestibule, which the structure certainly isn't").
Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵
