silkie velociraptor

[theultimatenaturelover]

Acheroraptor temeryorum, a dromaeosaurid known from the latest Maastrichtian Hell Creek Formation of Montana, USA. They are one of the two geologically youngest known dromaeosaurids, the other being Dakotaraptor steini.

I'm back from my artblock! I won't be posting as often as before because of school, but I'll try my best to keep a schedule. For some reason this one looks like a juvenile to me and I didn't know how to fix that. I had a lot of fun drawing this though. The colours were based on Australian hobbies.

Thanks to @thegoofiestcryptid for the suggestion!

Utahraptor Ostrommaysorum is my second favorite dinosaur i think

i made these bc im obsessed with dinosaur horror and im still angry at jwd for not giving us shit like this

Gwanji as a pachycephalosaur, random idea that sprung to me since I thought about how big vintage Pachycephalosaurus depictions were.

Would honestly explain his massive level of aggression in the film, haha

Giganotosaurus

[mammalidentifier]

any idea what this might be? i found it in my house one day and now it follows me around. i feel like its a rat or something

Corner baby (Felis catus). This individual’s beautiful coat color is caused by its eumelanin being replaced by phaeomelanin, which is a color variation more often present in males. Despite being a carnivore and a skilled hunter, this species doesn’t pose a threat to humans and often seeks our company. Don’t be startled if it starts to vibrate either! The buzzing sound produced by this animal isn’t fully understood by science but is thought to be produced by its laryngeal muscles and indicates that its content.

rip king 😔

[theultimatenaturelover]

Falcarius utahensis, a relative of the mighty Therizinosaurus that lived during the Early Cretaceous. It is one of the earliest examples of herbivorous theropods. Named after their sharp, curved claws, they could reach up to 1.5 meters (4.5 feet).

I decided to try a bit more of a realistic style this time. I think I did good, but will glady recieve any advice or tips. I got my motivation back and will likely start to post more often again. The colours were based on several species of falcons and the Bearded vulture.

Tyrannosaurus rex doodle studies

Kinda had a minor existential crisis about my art, so i'm going back to studying actual anatomy, and my first stop was ofc the dinosaurs. I feel even as someone who doodles them quite often, I don't properly know how to draw real dinosaurs, so what better way to start than the king of the dinosaurs itself?

Dornraptor normani Baron, 2024 (new genus and species)

(Hindlimb bones of Dornraptor normani, from Baron, 2024)

Meaning of name: Dornraptor = Dornwaraceaster [Anglo-Saxon name for the region roughly corresponding to what is now Dorset] thief [in Latin]; normani = for David B. Norman [British paleontologist]

Age: Early Jurassic (Hettangian–Sinemurian)

Where found: Blue Lias Formation, Dorset, UK

How much is known: A partial hindlimb and a partial femur (thigh bone).

Notes: Fossils of Dornraptor were originally identified in 1859 as specimens of the armored plant-eating dinosaur Scelidosaurus. Later authors thought that they more likely belonged to theropods, but left them unnamed. A new study of these specimens considers them distinct enough to be given a new genus and species. Based on phylogenetic analyses, Dornraptor was probably an early member of Averostra, the group of theropods that unites ceratosaurs and the stiff-tailed tetanurans.
