The Late #Cretaceous is a time full of such fantastic dinosaurs that between my own #paleoart and stuff I ordered from Studio 252mya, this part of my timeline is getting rather busy. Unfortunately it’s caused Julio Lacerda’s Alaskan Troodontid to end up further to the right than it should, making it accidentally reminiscent of the heartbreaking scenes from Dinosaur Revolution with the Troodontid who survived the meteorite impact.

@john Sure, I’ll take some shots next time there’s daylight.

@john Excellent idea, ever since I stopped using RSS readers a few years back it's been pretty tough to get updates on non-social media websites as they happen unless the author is vigorous about updating their social media.

I've been trying to figure out if it's possible to follow #rss feeds via Mastodon. Unfortunately searching for it mostly yields 'every mastodon feed is an RSS feed and it's really easy to follow Mastodon via an RSS reader' (which is rad, but the opposite of what I'm looking for).The closest thing I've been able to find is the ability to set up bots to publish RSS feeds to the #fediverse . Which might just be the solution, but is also less direct an interaction than I was expecting.

@serpenillus I love the front view, I just want to pet it!

@john Something I really like about the Fediverse is the concept of different social media being able to interact with one another regardless of what specific social media you yourself are on, instead of the current walled gardens. Now, that is slmost certainly way too rose-tinted glasses a way of looking at what Meta’s up to. But even so, I think pre-emptive defederation without seeing what happens is not the way to go.

@markwitton Tumblr is pretty great for paleo, Palaeoblr is quite big and active.

My art in 2023 (1/12)January: Microraptor and the Flowers. I started this year out making paleoart watercolours and never really stopped. This one is about a Microraptor investigating the first flowers she’s ever seen. The flowers are Lingyuananthus, a lovely little fossil flower described in an even lovelier paper that was not behind a paywall for once.#MyArt #paleoart #Microraptor #flowers #Cretaceous #January #MyArtIn2023

My art in 2023 (2/12)February: Orthocones Descend. Having moved into a new apartment and made a timeline covering the walls, the paleozoic looked awfully empty, so I made a big effort to expand my horizons and do art showing creatures I’d never drawn before. Showing orthocones descending vertically on their prey made for a fun composition too.#MyArt #paleoart #orthocone #trilobite #ordovician #MyArtIn2023

My art in 2023 (3/12)March: Sinosauropteryx does not want to share its tree. I still can barely believe we know the colours of both Sinosauropteryx and Psittacosaurus. Dinosaur colours always felt like something we’d never figure out without literal actual time travel before we figured them out.#paleoart #MyArt #Sinosauropteryx #Psittacosaurus #Cretaceous #sunset #MyArtIn2023

My art in 2023 (4/12)April: Hadrocodium’s mossy home. I got the idea for one of the tiniest mammals of all time making its home in some moss on a tree while hiking in Switzerland and coming across some truly impressive moss beards.#MyArt #paleoart #Jurassic #Hadrocodium #Tatisaurus #MyArtIn2023

My art in 2023 (5/12)May: Procompsognathus’s cliff climb. A Procompsognathus sneaking up on a showboating Peteinosaurus by climbing a cliff, while a Paratypothorax goes to take a drink.#MyArt #paleoart #Triassic #Procompsognathus #Peteinosaurus #Paratypothorax #MyArtIn2023

My art in 2023 (6/12)June: Anomalocaris, Dragon of the Cambrian. The realisation that most Cambrian creatures were tiny gave me the idea of a whole bunch of them hiding from a 40 cm long Anomalocaris while in positions reminiscent of a D&D party facing off against a dragon. #Anomalocaris #Cambrian #Opabinia #Hallucigenia #paleoart #MyArt #MyArtIn2023

My art in 2023 (7/12)July: Caihong and the Kalligrammatids. Kalligrammatids were neuropterans that superficially resembled large butterflies, but unlike them their wings were transparent! I combined them with the gorgeous iridescence of Caihong and backlighting for a fun experiment.#MyArt #Jurassic #Caihong #Kalligrammatid #silhouette #paleoart #MyArtIn2023

My art in 2023 (8/12)August: Spring on the mammoth steppe. When the time came to do some art set in the Quaternary, I decided to depict a real life location and how it would have changed in the past few hundred thousand years. This spot is just west of Baden-Baden (which is in the glacier valley to the upper left), on the edge of the Schwartzwald. I also enjoyed depicting an ice age spring. It wasn’t always snow and ice.#MyArt #Quaternary #IceAge #Mammoth #MyArtIn2023 #Megaloceros

My art in 2023 (9/12)September: Darwinius and Geiseltaliellus’s stare-off. The Paleogene was the last remaining Phanerozoic period I hadn’t done any art of, so I drew this little scene in the Messel Pit formation depicting a Darwininius and a lizard who do not enjoy sharing a tree.#MyArt #Paleogene #Eocene #Darwinius #Geiseltaliellus #Gastornis #MyArtIn2023 #paleoart

My art in 2023 (10/12)October: Inostrancevia family at sunrise. I hadn’t drawn Permian synapsids in a while at this point so they were overdue for a paleoart. I also felt like going absolute ham with my reds. The sunrise and Permian volcanism made for a convenient excuse but really, this is just for me.#MyArt #Inostrancevia #therapsid #Permian #desert #red #MyArtIn2023 #paleoart

My art in 2023 (12/12)December: The Zanclean Flood. 6 million years ago, the movement of the continents cut the Mediterranean off from the oceans. Since more water evaporates from the Mediterranean than it receives from rivers, this resulted in the sea drying up and becoming an incredibly deep, dry, salty lowland. Until 5.3 million years ago, when the Strait of Gibraltar formed and the entire sea was refilled in a massive flood.#MyArt #Neogene #Pliocene #ZancleanFlood #paleoart #MyArtIn2023
