Well hello Tumblr ! I'm the Paleoraptor and I'm an artist that works mostly on Digital and a bit in traditional ! I mostly focus on Maniraptorans & obscure prehistoric fauna (with some other stuff inbetween too) !
I'll definitely get around posting my art here, but in the meantime have some of the stuff I've made :)
I haven't posted in agesssss....so might as well post these round birb studies, perhaps the best bodyplan the avian theropods have ever achieved
Cobboldia russanovi, an extinct, wooly mammoth parasitizing botfly.
Like other members of the genus, the larvae of these flies feed and develop in the stomachs and oral cavities of Proboscideans, and due to it’s specialization in wooly mammoths, it subsequently went extinct alongside it’s host.
Welcome Ardenna buchananbrowni, a recently described diving shearwater from the Pliocene Tangahoe Formation of New Zealand
“A Brief Glimpse”
Pebanista yacuruna, a recently described, large river dolphin, surfaces in between its search for food.
“Easy Quarry”
A sketch of Khinjaria acuta, a recently described mosasaurid with it’s quarry, stelladens.
Results from the #paleostream!
Goldringia, Ammitocyon, Hilarcotherium and Khinjaria
going through another slowed art development phase rn so i downloaded an assortment of new brushes to shake up my stagnant creativity
my original goal was oil paints but it turned out something closer to oil pastels so oh well :/ still happy with the result tho
here are this week's #Paleostream drawings!
today we drew Dinocephalosaurus, Enoploura, Achelousaurus, and Arizonasaurus
A lone Napier’s caracara with a meal it has acquired, the wing of Bulweria bifax.
We know little about the deep sea environments of the Mesozoic but one place where we can get a glimpse into this world is the Münsterland basin. We have here several localities that preserved shallow and deep water animals side by side, caused by underwater landslides. These carried stuff from the rim of the basin and buried them in the deep with other material that was down there.
Tachynectes here is a very early lanternfish. Flattened lanternfishes are no longer a thing these days and we actually have lanternfishes from these localities that show their photophores preserved. We know where they glowed!

Just a redraw of the last scene of under tides but in my style and I changed the expressions they had a little bit along with the angle.
