A sketch portrait of the dinosaur that *was* Asiatyrannus, but may now be reclassified as a juvenile Tabrbosauris - a close relative of T.rex.

So apparently Asiatyrannus has been reclassified as a juvenile Tarbosaurus, making my illustration from last year not exactly wrong, but certainly misnamed.
The joys of being a palaeoartist. 🙄😂🦖

I’d love to see it. 🙂🦖

Amazingly kind. Thank you 🙏

Thank you!

A digital portait of Velociraptor with colourful turkey-like wattles around its face and neck.

A pencil portait of Velociraptor with open, drooling jaws.

A digital illustration of a baby Velociraptor sat in a nest of dry branches and leaves.

A digital illustration of Velociraptor, leaping with feathered arms outstretched towards Protoceratops - a small herbivorous dinosaur.

Today is Velociraptor Awareness Day.
Be aware. Be VERY aware… 😮😉🦖

A digital portrait of Argentinadraco - an extinct prehistoric flying reptile from South America. It is shown with a long, pointed beak with dark striped markings and a tiny lizard grasped at the tip. Its head and neck are covered with pinkish, wrinkled skin with tufts of white feather-like hairs. Dappled light from the surrounding jungle casts shadows across the bizarre-looking animal.

Argentinadraco barrealensis was an alanqid pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous. Due to the fragmentary fossil evidence, its exact size and appearance is hard to determine, but it probably had a wingspan of around 3 metres, and might have looked a bit like this. Or not. Art by me.

Of all the animals I have to illustrate, pterosaurs are by far the hardest. Even when you reconstruct them perfectly, they still look SO wrong! Nothing about them makes intuitive sense, and yet there they were, being impossibly weird and hugely successful simultaneously. Something to strive for 😂

The orbital fenestra in the (conjectured) skull is small. The eyeball I’ve shown is actually at the upper limits based on this skull diagram.
Pterosaurs were weird! 🙂

Yes - all working perfectly now. You must be relieved! 🙂

Urghhhhh. But also yay! New Kickstarter!!!

So this website is broken then…😑

This is what I hear from every woman I know: of the many, very real risks they face on a daily basis… trans women ain’t one of them. Of course Reform know this as well as you or I - their fake outrage was never about protecting women.

(2/2)
But seeing an AI user’s book selling really well… yeah… 😶
I’m trying to be the bigger man here, but f**k me it’s difficult…

I love seeing other illustrators selling well. We aren’t competitors, their success doesn’t diminish mine, and when one of us wins, we all win. It’s tough as hell out there, and every success should be celebrated by all of us.

I don’t think you are supposed to understand, just to be scared - scared of anyone who isn’t exactly like you. Honestly, I don’t have the words to express my contempt for these people.

Just my local Reform candidate accusing *me* of spreading hate. Anyone got a spare irony meter? Mine has just melted.

Not necessarily - although those wings are a step too far. We know that ancestors of T.rex had feathers, so although T.rex would not have had a thick coat, some residual “fuzz” as shown here is entirely plausible (I’d actually argue probable).

It’s determined by phylogeny, not date. We know (with certainty) that specific dinosaurs had feathers (or protofeather) and phylogeny then allows us to conjecture which other related dinosaurs *might* have had them. That’s a massive oversimplification of a very complex (and contentious) subject 🙂

A digital portrait of Linheraptor - a predatory dinosaur and relative of the more well known velociraptor.

A digital portrait of Spinosaurus - one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs, with a distinctive dorsal sail and long crododile-like snout.

A digital illustration of tyrannosaurs rex walking through a forest of giant redwoods.

A digital portrait of Xenovenator - a newly described dinosaur from South America.

Hello #PortfolioDay
I’m Andy and I draw dinosaurs for money (and because I love them).
I work in both traditional and digital media, and will never use AI for any of my art. Ever.

Splodging some colours on a pencil sketch of a coral reef dragon.

A screenshot of a review of my “Extinct” Palaeoart book, which reads “Livre surprenant et fascinant ! Merci à l'auteur pour l'envoi rapide et les attentions. Le destinataire du cadeau va être aux anges!”, translated as “A surprising and fascinating book! Thank you to the author for the prompt delivery and thoughtful touches. The recipient of this gift will be thrilled!”

Happy that my knowledge of French was *just* good enough to understand this new review (although the five stars were a clue)! Anyway, if you live in France, or pretty much anywhere, and like dinosaurs, you might enjoy this: dragonsofwales.etsy.com/listing/4381...

Thank you! 🙏

So pleased that you like the book, thank you!
