My 25 years of palaeoart chronology…

In 2021 I teamed up with The Royal Mint and the Natural History Museum again to create the Mary Anning Coin Collection, the second collection from the Tales of the Earth series. Here's the Dimorphodon coin art . . .

Myfanwy [Doctor Who] vs. Pterosaur [The Lost World - Arthur Conan Doyle]

Propaganda (if any) under the cut! Please be civil, and feel free to reblog!

Propaganda for Myfanwy [Doctor Who]:

"She likes barbeque sauce, and she fought off one of the, in my opinion, stupidest additions to the Doctor Who extended universe, the Cyberwoman. We should all thank her for her service."

Propaganda for Pterosaur [The Lost World - Arthur Conan Doyle]:

"Although clearly based on outdated reconstructions of Pterodactylus, this creature has a face only a mother could love. Martin Aitchison's illustrations render these creatures grotesque but with an undeniable charm, as they steal food from the explorers like a giant leathery seagull, defend their nests from egg thieves, or terrify the Edwardian aristocracy." "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlSTaNAFJtr3m_dFv377tZhByQPu-SpfB7zqv9MvV5Wnb2kNHzB1ebC18ZTSHotDc9vVsHJiW90BtIcu_e578pYEV09u9TL1RiWJHGaorAKIq9U8j7cmEnF-ZgDUuAanBTghxKT5-6_EM/s1600/Outofhiswits.jpg"

DRAGONS OF THE MESOZOIC

I got commissioned to design a pterosaur back tattoo, and decided to use the opportunity to redraw my original dragons of the Mesozoic design.

Below the poll is a series of animal images labeled A through J. A is the least close to the birds we have today; J is the closest. If you encountered these animals in the wild, which would you call birds? If you pick a higher up option, then that means you consider all the below ones birds as well - so if you pick A, then BCDEFGHIJ are all birds. If you pick J, only J is a bird.

PLEASE REBLOG THIS SO IT CAN LEAVE PALAEOBLR. I NEED PEOPLE WHO DON'T RECOGNIZE THESE ANIMALS ON SIGHT TO VOTE.

I apologize to all of y'all with vision impairments for whom this poll is inaccessible. Alas, this is an experiment, and I cannot name the taxa. Thank you.

All alt text includes artist attribution; I did not make these pictures myself.

Prehistoric Planet finally gives us the True Rival to the Tyrant Lizard King and it's NOT a Dinosaur.
