⚔️🔥CAPTURE QUEST: CHARIZARD🔥⚔️ I have wanted to paint this for over a decade and spent the last year of my life fighting to bring it to the finish line. Please take a look, there is a lot to see

Gargantuan illustration of a charizard redesigned in the style of a monster hunter elder dragon. There are 4 hunters attacking him and their pikapalico is readying a voltorb bomb to throw. There is so much stuff in there, I spent a damn year on this. I'm exhausted.

I got to do a fun pair of statues for Showanna studio again! When they told me they wanted me to do a Giganotosaurus next I just had to nudge them to also produce an Andesaurus to go with it. Really happy with both of these reconstructions. They'll eventually be available in 1/35th and 1/18th scale.

Apparently not only is Nanotyrannus valid again according to a recent paper, but also a second new species of it has been named. So, have some Nanotyrannus lethaeus running animation.

Had the pleasure of making a sculpture of Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex for SHOWANNA Studio. 🦖 Pretty pleased with how this one turned out, I got to nerd out on all of her unique pathologies. The old girl lived a hard life!

Next in the Gem Dragon illustrations I did for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons is my favorite. You may have noticed the somewhat controversial design feature but instead of cowardly ‘fixing’ it, I leaned all the way in. This is dragon 2 of 5

Topaz dragon illustration design sheet I painted. I know the wings are going to take some adjusting to so bear these words in mind: it also has floating crystals; it’s a magic man.

I got the chance to do updated artwork of the Gem Dragons for the new book: Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons. I worked waaay too hard on these, I'm extremely proud of them. This is dragon 1 of 5

Amethyst dragon design sheet I did. I spent way too long working on that faux bestiary page layout, please appreciate it.

"Oh, my God" "What is it?" "It's a birdcage" "For what?" My 3D anatomical study of a large male Pteranodon longiceps. The skeleton is a generalised composite as per usual with my models, but is scaled to UNSM 50130 (a very large and almost complete wing)

Polished off this old Venusaur I had sitting on my computer for longer than I care to admit. lol Fun project, I always have a good time with vegetation and creatures and Venusaur is the best of both worlds.

Geez you look away for one second and suddenly you have over 5k followers! In light of recent events I do not want to post on the other place anymore, gunna try to update on here more often. Here is some herbs and ground plants I made for Saurian!

A fallen Liriodendrites occidentalis, a Cretaceous species related to our extant Tulip Trees (Magnoliaceae), is a rare treat for the relatively small Ceratopsian Turanoceratops, whos' fossils were found at the Bissekty Formation of Uzbekistan.

Check out this Bluesky exclusive: some of the #paleoart I've created for the upcoming PalaeoGames dinosaur tabletop roll playing book! We have tonnes of new art for this and have played most of it close to our chest. If you're nice to PalaeoGames Chief @palaeogames.bsky.social, he may tease more.

Check out this BlueSky exclusive from PalaeoGames upcoming D&D book from our successful #Kickstarter tinyurl.com/2bccfxma. @markwitton.bsky.social is the lead paleoartist on this project and has done an outstanding job! Carcharodontosaurus rocks in at CR 10 #paleoart #sciart #paleontology #dnd #d&d

The massive, beautifully illustrated, predatory theropod dinosaur Carcharodontosaurus tramples across a Bahariya Formation delta waterway, thundering into a rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur, toppling it into the water. Maw agape above its neck, Carcharodontosaurus is about the make the kill.

Hello! I'm a 3D character artist, I specialize in creatures and dinosaurs. I've worked on Saurian and the Isle, made some cool action figures for Creative Beasts Studios and am currently working on a new game called Towers of Aghasba with Dreamlit Games! Also occasionally some paleo art!
