Let me introduce you to Tametara mirim, a basal Cretaceous snake from South America that was likely fossorial. It is known from a beautifully preserved and articulated specimen that includes a skull! If you know anything about snake fossils you will know that is VERY rare #snakes #paleoart

Last night episode of Surviving Earth showcased Spinosaurus! I was entrusted with doing the concept design for both the adult and hatchlings. It was so fulfilling to see my reconstruction moving around! Who else wants to have a bunch of Spinosaurus chicks following them around? #paleoart #sciart

The third episode of Surviving Earth is now available in PEACOCK. For this episode I was entrusted with creating the concept design of just 3 species: The small mammal Unnuakomys and the dinosaurs Asterioris and Saurornitholestes. I’ll post some concept art soon Stay tuned 😊

Tonight there will be another NEW episode of Surviving Earth, but before that let me show you the concept design of one of the cranky Hyperodapedon from last week’s episode. I love rhynchosaurs, so it was a dream come true when I was asked to create this creature design #paleoart #sciart
