Simply graphics, without the obligation to do anything more later, allows you to relax and think. However, not in this specific case.

Just a sketch with a character, that's all I can do for now.

I'm still alive. I'm just having a hard time drawing anything right now... So here's a sketch of Orso, which I spent way more time on than I should have.

A Timelapse of my latest painting. This is just the first rough in of paint - about 10hrs in this video. “Untitled,” oil on linen, 28”x38”.

Thank You!

Thank You!

A little bit giraffe, a little bit deer. Who knows what this animal was like...

Thank you. Without inspiration from living creatures, it's hard to understand long-extinct ones.

There were more muntjac-like deer in the Miocene than there are today. But it seems not all pickles were pickled well)))

Thank You)

Thank You!

Yeah, that's how he is)

Thank you) I was thinking about how to relate cave paintings to animal behavior and came up with the idea that bison could jump and scratch themselves because of clouds of insects.

Thank You!!!

Thank You!

Pleistocene steppe bison Bison Priscus. Ancestor of modern bisons.

Pleistocene steppe bison Bison Priscus. It inhabited Europe, Asia, and North America until the early Holocene and is the ancestor of modern European bison and American bison.
I'm not sure if it's noticeable, but I was inspired by ancient images of bison and Altamira and other caves.

Because yes)

Unfinished work with ancient animals awaits its time in the new year.

This year I've done more work with prehistoric animals than I have in a long time. But I don't have time to do these guys. Will see them again next year.

The monster came to the settlement and was surrounded by dogs. The monster looked at them with disdain.

An uninvited guest. I haven't done any new work with Orso in a while, and I don't have anything new for the New Year either. So I'll leave another old work here. It's almost New Year's)

Thank You)

Sketch of my OC Orso

Just enother Orso sketch

Thank You!

Thank you!
The background here is my tribute to one of my favorite artists, Konstantin Flerov.

An extinct muntjac-like deer with branched antlers.

Palaeoplatyceros hispanicus- a muntjac-like deer from the Middle Miocene of Spain. Numerous antlers found on Otero Hill in Palencia allow to trace the age-related dimorphism of these animals. The illustration shows an adult, possibly even old, animal and a younger deer in the background.

Scary Extinct Deer Antifer ultra stand in the forest and look right at you.

Scary paleoart: deers Antifer ultra as skinwalkers.
A little sketch for Halloween. And of course, I know geography separates these deer from Navajo mythology, but nevertheless, it will be like this)

I was afraid it wouldn't look right) But it seems to be alright. Thank you.

An extinct antelope, looks like oryx.

Praedamalis howelli - an extinct antelope of the Hippotragini tribe from the Pliocene of Ethiopia, related to the oryx.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖
