I've started posting new paleoart again over at paleo_kc on Instagram if anyone is over there and interested in seeing some Kansas paleoart, I have a pretty big backlog of finished artwork and I'm trying to post every few days!

Rich megafaunas were the norm across Earth's land masses from >30 million years ago until just 10-40 thousand years ago- here illustrations of #megafauna from North America 15 mio years incl #elephants (s.l.) 🐘🫏🐪 #megabiota
@CorbinRainbolt’s art in the “Beyond the Barstow” exhibit alone should be enough incentive for you to come see this innovative exhibition with great paleoart and a mix of real and replica fossils
PaleoCon is almost here! This event will feature paleontologists from across the country showing off their work. Join us on August 26th for a fun day full of science, hands-on activities, & the opening of a new exhibit, for the price of regular museum admission! #PaleoCon2023
I come here to present to you a new lagerpetid published today, the 'Venetoraptor gassenae', a lagerpetid with a curved beak, which lived in the Triassic in what is now Brazil.

My paleoartistic interpretation below:
If I had a nickel for every paleoart painting set near a shallow water in a dense forest with a hidden animal in the background done with loose brushstrokes posted today I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird (cool) that it happened twice
This is the 4th T. rex I've modelled like this, and I think my best. In addition to general experience, a ton of bird dissection work this year helped pushed this to a point I'm very happy with.
Built muscle-by-muscle around my skeleton model, and meant for artist reference use!
The ephemeral vernal pools in springtime forests provide ample opportunities for predators big and small. A rabble of small dinosaurs feast on the fairy shrimp and beetle grub in and around the transient oasis.
