Some funky looking bugs 'round here 🐜

A Homotherium stands by the downed body of a Megaloceros, its huge antlers standing out against the drab colored grassland landscape framed by snowy hills in the background.

Making some fresh models to sharpen my 3D skills, and what better subject to do that than our lovely brazilian Pleistocene megafauna?

A scene depicting the Patagonian scrubland in the early morning, dotted with araucarias and framed by foggy mountains in the background. A pair of Macrauchenia, four guanacos and a patagonian mara are seen among the grass. A Megatherium walks by further away and a crested caracara flies over the scene.
Foggy morning in Late Pleistocene Patagonia.

A small group of diplodocid sauropods walks through an expanse of dry ground, with scattered rocks and puddles. In the background lies a forest covered in mist, and impressive cloud formations in the sky. A few rhamphorhynchid pterosaurs fly by, and a small ornithopod moves away from a puddle as the sauropods approach.
Felt inspired to do a piece inspired by paleoart aesthetics that were common when I was growing up. This is mostly based on a particular one by Mark Hallet, though I think I channeled some other influences as well.

An Oxalaia quilombensis (very close Spinosaurus relative from Brazil) crosses a tidal flat under a dark, cloudy sky. The dinosaur has its tail resting or dragging across the muddy ground, powerful arms, long neck and head and a rectangular-shaped sail on its back giving it a kaiju-like appearance. To its right there's a discarded turtle shell, and to its right, a pile of driftwood. Soft light is hitting its sail and part of its neck making them look brighter and more vivid than the somber looking environment.

A panoramic view of a red sand desert, with dunes and scattered bushes. Some mountains reach upwards in the background. The lighting is moody and somber, coming from the right side and highlighting a Velociraptor running along the top of a dune to the left of the image. The dinosaur is kicking up a plume of sand in its wake. In a shaded area, surrounded by some bushes, lays a partial skeleton.
Not 100% satisfied with this piece but it's been a long time since I've made some paleoart for funsies so

A momma Homotherium accompanied by her two playful cubs on a snowy field. The animals are rusty-colored with some light cream and white lighlights, mirroring the colors of the environment around them.
Even though I did kinda jump on the badwagon back when the frozen Homotherium cub was published, I decided to focus on the adult interpretation, though I knew eventually I would like to do something featuring cubs. And here it is! A nice family portrait.

A cheetah-like Miracinonyx stands on top of a small boulder in a snowy prairie. In the background, a herd of reindeer move amidst a cloud of dust. Beyond them there's mountains on the horizon, and greenish northern lights on a dark blue sky with faint stars.
Going through an art block since the end of last year but managed to do something involving three things I aesthetically enjoy
✔️snowy grasslands
✔️northern lights
✔️cheetah-adjacent cats

A cave lion rests obliviously on a steppe with snow-capped mountains in the background. Behind it, two Neanderthals are crouched, wearing animal pelts and holding spears.
A Paleoloxodon (giant extinct elephant) is surrounded by a group of Neanderthals on a field. The Neanderthals are using varying types of clothing made of animal pelts, and hold spears. Two spears are lodged into the stomach of the elephant.
Had loads of fun making these two illustrations for PBS Eons' latest video, on how Neanderthals were incredibly adept apex predators. #paleoart #SciArt #artbyjulio

A commission I did a while ago - something different for me but loads of fun! #artbyjulio
A rendition of a Great Auk in a realistic but also rough, painterly style against a textured beige background. Next to it is a replica of a minimalistic cave painting showing the same animal, along with a hand print motif and text saying: "Pinguinus impennis, Grotte Cosquer, France, around 17 thousand years before present"
After the Moa, another bird for this mammal-heavy series. Which makes me wonder if we have any paleolithic depictions of now extinct reptiles...

A mastodon stands leg-deep in a foggy lake with its trunk in its mouth. A misty forest of conifers towers in the background. A heron is perched on top of the mastodon, while two ducks swim nearby and a few more fly in the background.

A rendition of Megaloceros in a realistic but also rough, painterly style against a textured beige background. Next to it is a replica of a minimalistic cave painting showing the same animal, along with a hand print motif and text saying: "Megaloceros giganteus, Grotte de Cougnac, France, around 24 thousand years before present"
Same thing as previous, but the cave painting in question may actually represent another species of deer. The text instead refers to "Grotte de Lascaux, France, around 13 thousand years before present"

I decided to redo the 1st ever piece in my cave painting series, Megaloceros. Although the cave artwork I used in the original is glorious and often labeled as depicting Megaloceros, the antler configuration does indeed look more like the non-palmated ones from red deer.

An Inostrancevia (large gorgonopsid, early mammal relative) walks by a desolate landscape with smoke coming out of the ground and a red sun in the sky.

A mostly brown Homotherium in side view, next to a rendition of a sculpted figurine and the silhouette of a hand print. A piexe of text says: "Homotherium latidens - Grotte d'Isturitz, France - around 34 thousand years before present".

A lateral view of a Homotherium standing over a recently-killed fallow deer in a field of low-growing vegetation. The Homotherium is tan-colored with spotts on its legs and underside, black-tipped tail and ears and a light mane over the top of the neck.
A pair of Homotherium lie resting under the shade of a tree, while a herd of Deinotherium pass by in the savanna in the background under the high noon sun.
A Homotherium lets out a call on an autumn landscape, in a field of brown-colored grass with yellow-leaved trees and mountains in the background, under soft sunset lighting.
A low-angle view of a cold steppe landscape with brown grass and snow-covered mountains in the background. A homotherium seems to be inspecting the viewer while three mammoths pass by. A subtle trail of smoke can be seen in the horizon.
This is a Homotherium appreciation post for no particular reason. #SciArt #paleoart #artbyjulio

A pair of Velociraptors on top of a sand dune in the evening, with the moon shining brightly and stars beginning to come out. One of them is mostly illuminated by a flashlight and looks directly at the viewer. The other runs to the right mostly in shadow. Both have glowing eyes.
A Neanderthal man stands on a snowy forest at night, holding a long stick with one end lit on fire. He is wearing animal pelts and is surrounded by cave hyenas, trying to ward them off with the fire. On one of the trees, a bloody handprint can be seen next to a snarling hyena.
A group of Suminia, monkey-like early synapsids, perch on a tree. The view is from below looking up the tree, illuminating the animals with a flashlight. Some of the Suminia are clearly visible while others are shrouded in darkness and have only the glowing eyes and their silhouettes against the starry sky visible.
An ichthyosaur and a giant squid are positioned as if prepared to get into combat. Both animals are illuminated by harsh lighting that fades into the darkness of the deep sea.
Some other ~spoooky~ stuff I've made in earlier years.

A boy wanders into a cave and stumbles upon a large cave bear. The boy is in shadow, framed by the dark silhouette of the cave tunnel, while the bear is partly illuminated by cool light emanating from above the cave. A spear can be seen in the bear's right shoulder and specks of snow can be seen drifting down in the light.
