The roving packs of those great Gryphons, bringing low the wyrms of their isle! How their wine-red hides contrast the yellowed skies as they beat scale with guile!
This #fossilfriday I give you a paleoart piece I did recently for the PaleoPT congress about the Vandelli Skulls - 4 whale skulls discovered in the Adiça beach in Almada, Lisbon in the 19th century. Above is Adicetus vandelli and A. latus, bottom is Cephalotropis nectus. #Paleoart #SciArt #whales
New #paleoart for #FossilFriday: Baryonyx walkeri portrait factoring new epidermal correlate data gathered for an ongoing project. "Yes" to lips, "no" to a cornified sheath on the nasal crest, "yes" to a boss and scale above the eyes. More details at my Patreon: www.patreon.com/markwitton
A mob of Teyhysaurus hunts a school of Araripichthys. Tethysaurus was an early mosasaur that lived in Morocco 93 million years ago. Also, a concept I made for it in December of last year, but I ended using it now #paleoart #digitalart #2D #illustration #prehistoric

Well, I’m taking advantage of the BIG NEWS about the Diplodocus discovery in Spain (in Teruel, of course!) to repost my reinterpretation and tribute to one of my favorite works that my favorite paleoartist, Douglas Henderson, created for Diplodocus
Sometimes I get caught up in complicated compositions with lots of elements. This was going to be one of them, but I was completely stuck—not realizing that the solution was a simple render with three heads, a piece of meat, a pretty sky, a bunch of flies, and some editing
Ambush! During a warm sunrise on eocene Europe a large Iberosuchus surprises a duo of small Lophiodontid mammals Painted here in the moment the croc uses the inertia of the attack and strong neck muscles to raise the creature up, before crashing it down on the soil to subdue it
