Here is the second batch of the Khaan desert scene. I hope you like it! #paleoart #b3d #dinosaur #scicom #sciart #3dart

The Khaan mother watching her first chick of the season hatch in a close-up

Founders of modern paleontology, and their contributions to systemic racism, classism and sexism (🧵) Henry Osborn (1857–1935), responsible for naming of Tyrannosaurus & Velociraptor; president of ANHM. Co-founder of the American Eugenics Society. Contributing to books later praised by Hitler.

The first attempt to reconstruct Tyrannosaurus rex, in the 1905 paper in which Osborn named it and a panel mount of the skeleton (middle), from the 1916 paper in which Osborn described and named it.

It's nothing I normally do, but as I got the model already - here is a skeletal diagram of Khaan based on my 3D model. #dinosaur #b3d #paleoart #paleontology

Here is the second batch of the Khaan desert scene. I hope you like it! #paleoart #b3d #dinosaur #scicom #sciart #3dart

The first set of the scenes I did with the Khaan models, imagining how life in the Djadochta desert might have looked like. #paleoart #b3d #sciart #dinosaur

A female and male Khaan in the desert. The male shows off his display feathers, the female runs off. For now...

A jump in time. The female sits in the evening desert sun on a nest of eggs, looking into the distance.

What is happening? The female takes a closer look to what is happening in one of the eggs.

Some studio renders of the Khaan life reconstruction based on the skeleton model I did before. I added some display features to the male model, but kept the colours mostly muted for the desert-like Djadochta environment in which these animals lived.

A couple of Khaan mckennai taking an evening walk across the Djadochta desert. #paleoart #dinosaur #b3d #3dart

Two distant Khaan dinosaurs in desert evening light, running over a done towards the sun.

A preview of the final scene of my Khaan project. #3dart #paleoart #dinosaur #b3d #blender3d

A 3d rendered image showing a freshly hatched oviraptoroid chick looking up to its mother.

Final renders of the posed Khaan hatchling model. #b3d #sciart #paleoart #dinosaur

A close-up render of the hatchling with open mouth, begging for food

The hatchling standing fragile on its hind legs

Another close up, of the head with closed mouth

Kind of a breakdown of the Khaan 3d model, from skeleton to life reconstruction, plus some wonky animation work! #b3d #paleoart #dinosaur #3dart

Updated Khaan hatchling, trying some poses. #paleoart #sciart #b3d #dinosaur

My interpretation of what a hatchling of the oviraptoroid Khaan might have looked like, based on the skeleton model I did a couple of weeks ago. For future use in a hatching scene. #paleoart #b3d #dinosaur #oviraptor #blender3d

The skeleton model on which the life reconstruction is based

Need to 3d print this once before I can sell the files - but where will I put it then 🙈

A full size 2d print of a Khaan dinosaur skeleton on my floor

The final animation of the Khaan mckennai 3d model. Khaan is an oviraptorid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia. It is closely related to birds, as can be seen from its anatomy and behaviour. #paleoart #b3d #dinosaur #palaeoart #3danimation

A few still frames of the Khaan skeleton models #paleoart #dinosaur #paleontology #oviraptor #blender3d
