Illustration is a marker, ink, and digital fantasy painting of a snow leopard walking towards the viewer around a rock outcropping that is at an angle going from the top middle of the images down to the bottom left corner. Snow leopard has its head down, left front leg coming forward, and the right going up and back. The back half of the leopard is hidden by the rock outcropping. This image is painting in blues and pinks, with the leopard primarily being in bright teals and dark navy blues. Background has pinks and purples, and the rock outcropping in the foreground is dark navy blues. Light is coming from the back right of the snow leopard. The leopard eyes are glowing a bright blue teal with that cracks into the face. The back of the leopard is glowing a bright teal as well and fades into snow coming off its back and flowing up into the upper right corner. Paws also have blue/teal snow coming off of them and also have cracks of ice coming from them on the ground.

Wuukor red moon buffalo/ bison creature concept from Critical Role. Fanart concept design sheet depicting the side-view of a bison like creature with multiple twisting horns on head, red fur, a long tail with some small spikes at the base, and six legs. Baby side-view concept is also included in the sheet to the left of the adult, which has smaller nubs for horns and lighter fur. Frontal head view to the right of the adult on the sheet shows how the horns twist around each like a twisted tree.

Digital illustration of a Dark-eyed Junco, a dark brown sparrow with a pink beak, looking down from the background at a patch of red clover. The clover is covered in a variety of insects from Graham's work, including Harmonia axyridis (Asian ladybeetle), Scaptomyza terminalis (a small fly), Altica sp. flea beetles (tiny iridescent green beetles), Forcipata loca (pale yellow small leafhopper), Evacanthus interruptus (yellow and black leafhopper), and Anaspis rufa (small golden-brown false flower beetles).

Digital illustration of two pterosaurs flying over a lush forest and lake area. The sky behind them is blue with soft white clouds. Both pterosaurs are the same species - one is near to us with wings lowered as it turns in flight, the other is farther behind with wings raised. They have a brilliant black, red, and yellow display crest, a long red pair of jaws with short teeth, a green crown, golden iris, black eyestripe, and cream-colored breast fuzz. The wings are long and pointed, dark blue-gray with a red band and black tips. They each have a long tail with a red arrow-shaped point. For NorthStar Games: Nature

Illustration of a woman in a green floral skirt and white floral cowgirl boots walking through a field of desert flowers lit by sunrise. They glow brilliant orange-gold in contrast to the dark cool blue shadows. The sky is a pale blue, and the background mountains are jagged and barren.

Digital painting of a pair of Sandhill Cranes in summer copper-stained plumage. They stand in shallow water running over meadow grasses, next to blooming larkspur, irises, and corn lily. In the background, Ackerson Mountain with its prior burn scar rises above a forest of conifers. The meadow is bordered with clumps of willow.

Some work out recently made, Cetotherium riabinini is a small baleen whale from the Late Miocene of the Eastern Paratethys sea (Ukraine), a almost complete individual show it had remarkable body proportions unlike modern elongated species in a minuscule size.

A text-heavy poster detailing what we might predict about the life appearance of the medium-large predatory dinosaur Megalosaurus. Various reconstructions abound, with a timeline of historic interpretations on the left, the oldest known life reconstruction of Megalosaurus in the top right, and my own reconstructions in the middle and bottom.

My poster on the life appearance of Megalosaurus, as presented at SVPCA 2024. A paper on this, and the history of M. reconstructions, is currently in the system and should (hopefully!) be published later this year. Posting this in the interim as a poss. useful #paleoart reference. #Sciart #dinosaur

Day 7 of #50daysofchondrichthyan is the Sphenodus macer, a shark-like neoselachian with uncertain phylogenetic placement. Its bauplan is similar to the cow shark but this species has a wide jaw and enlarged pectoral fins

Day 6 of #50daysofchondrichthyan is the serrated giant thresher shark; Alopias palatasi. Only known from isolated teeth but its tooth morphologies indicate that it might had similar lifestyle to the great white shark

Camptosaurus dispar is one of the most common ornithischia that was found in Late Jurassic North America, in Morrison formation. They’re living in the same environment with some of the most impressive dinosaurs ever discovered, such as the mighty Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, Supersaurus, Apatosaurus. And someof the most  fearsome predators such as Ceratosaurus, Allosaurus, and Torvosaurus.
