    Fish paintings

    I'm working on some new fossil fish paintings and thought I'd share them here. I'm trying to work my way through the Green River formation fish first, though I'm sure I won't paint them all. I've only done two so far, but I'll add more as I paint them. The quality will vary, I'm sure. Here's my take on a Priscacara. and of course a Knightia: I've started on a diplomystus, and will post that soon. Thanks for looking. Oh, for those interested, I'm using gouache paints, similar to watercolor but more opaque.
  2. Hello. I'm a new member here and thought I would share a fossil fish mosaic I made. I looked and searched but didn't see anything like it. There is nothing for scale but it is 2'x3'. I usually just look at a photo of a fossilized one I like and then create it how I think it should look. That is part of why I am here, for research so I can add realism to my art. The other part is I like fossils. 8-). I also do metal sculpture. Thank you for looking. Scott

    Salutations

    Greetings. I am here to do some fossil research for art projects. I work in mosaics and metal and up until now have just taken severe liberties in my creations and now I wish to create true to form. So basically, I will be looking around and learning, but I may have questions and so I thought it best to introduce myself. For the most part I will just lurk, as they say. I had a collection of specimens but now have exactly one fossil that survived over the years, an ammonite I bought in Morocco when I was in the Navy. Oddly enough, my mineral collection survived intact over time. I won't deny the old collecting bone is starting to jigger around, again. Good day to all.

    New Emoticons!

    Hey guys, I just joined the site recently. I’m an artist and I’m gonna be working on some new emoticons for TFF! If anyone has suggestions for what they’d like to see, please let me know in the comments here and I will take them into consideration. Here are some examples of a few I have already made for fun: Thanks for your input!
  5. I tought I could share one fun project I had. 1:1 scale Deinonychus head. It might not be totally accurate and it is already over 10 years old.
  6. Hi y'all, about a year ago I started digital sculpting on my tablet and began with some Devonian "shark" teeth, inspired by ones in my collection (see topic here). Several months later after becoming more familiar with the process, I decided to try my hand at dinosaur skulls. In particular, I wanted to render the juvenile Tyrannosaurid, "Jane" (BMRP 2002.4.1) since regardless of your stance on the species, it's an important and cool fossil. Here I present my amateur first pass. My end goal is to have a 1:1 scale 3D print. And for you Tyranno-nerds, yes it accurately has incisiform premaxillary teeth with a lingual apicobasal ridge. To get the shape of all the teeth right, I referenced a couple in my collection. They were duplicated and squashed around to match the variation in morphology of the dentition. I also uploaded the model for you to interact with; honest critiques are welcome as it's not a final version I feel is ready for full scale printing. Certain aspects of the anatomy, especially the hard-to-see interior portions are probably where most errors lie. In December, I however did print a smaller scale to see how it looked: The nice thing about digital sculpting is that I can copy the entire skull and very readily reshape it into a similar one. The natural choice is to do a young juvenile / baby T. rex. This is as much a hypothesis as it is art. I based it off of the Witmer Lab's more rigorous reconstruction of "Chomper", and a similarly-sized young Tarbosaurus (which was a close cousin of T. rex). I again uploaded the model for your enjoyment / inspection: Next, I decided to wander much farther from Tyrannosaurs and shape it into a Troodontid, Pectinodon bakkeri. Of course Pectinodon is only known from its teeth, so I at least got the shape of those right (again, based off of a fossil in my collection). The rest was inspired by the reconstructions of others, presumably informed by more completely-known Troodontids. And finally, a sneak peak of what I'll be working on, Acheroraptor temertyorum. This time it's from scratch since there are some things I want to do differently. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!
  7. I thought this is pretty amazing bit of land art. Enjoy Bobby https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65648978
  8. Got looking through some of my older stuff, from years back, when I was a bit naive. I have three Moroccan fossils, or at least labeled as such. One is undoubtedly real and only its ID is in question; I'll make that a separate post elsewhere. But I thought I'd check my evaluation of two trilobite fossils. Apologies that the photos aren't better. Real? Not an expensive offering, and not apparently a rare variety for Morocco. A hot needle does not mark it. Under the loupe, there are no obvious bubbles in the surface, and there are defects that seem filled with calcite crystals. There is a fair amount of matrix that has not been completely cleaned out of the grooves and sides, and it matches the rest of the rock. Does not mind a hot needle (left no mark). The one thing that makes me suspicious is the area immediately beneath the cephalon, which looks like it might have been glued. So fake it's embarrassing: Seems almost painfully obvious it's been cemented onto the rock. Offered for a pittance. The surface has numerous bubble voids. And, yes, a hot needle melts a small hole into the fossil. So tell me if my BS-O-Meter is malfunctioning?
  9. I thought you would be interested in this story I found on MSN: Chainsaw artist turns downed tree into dinosaur bench in Drumheller - https://www.msn.com/en-ca/video/news/chainsaw-artist-turns-downed-tree-into-dinosaur-bench-in-drumheller/vi-AA12cLeL?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=6dd1a134b523451a96ba4ac2210c3309 I am amazed at the talent of some people
  10. I really wanted to try my hand at a keichousaurus hui again. I took a lot of inspiration from marine iguanas. I work in digital. I took the feedback that I got on my last one and really tried to apply it all here. I also had the opportunity after I posted that last one to go and examine 2 actual specimens in person. I even got a rather spotty replica on that trip (Not that there wasn’t an abundance of references to find online). As before any input is welcome. I’m still very new to adding meat to bones and I want to get better.

    Paleoart of Keichousaurus

    I've never seriously done paleoart before. I have been wanting to try my hand at it for years but passed on it for one reason or another. Recently I fell in love with looking at fossils of keichousaurus. I also love lizards. So I decided yesterday to just do it. So here are my results. If I messed up on the anatomy in any way, please don't hesitate to let me know.
  12. I recently got started sculpting digitally, and with this new hammer I am now excitedly looking for nails! My thoughts turned to some of my microfossils, specifically some of my really old shark teeth. Microfossils in general are difficult to appreciate without a microscope, so I figured it would be fun to sculpt a few. My first subject is a Devonian Phoebodont shark tooth that I thought looked neat enough. Besides being some of the oldest teeth I know of (380-390 Ma), they look very different from the teeth of modern sharks (except for those of the frilled shark). Most of the teeth are broken, but I luckily had enough fragments to get a good picture of what a complete tooth looked like. With these fossils as my reference I quickly squashed and shaped a chunk of virtual clay into a passable shark tooth: And thanks to the wonders of today's technology, I can actually share that model directly in an interactive manner: I didn't do so much work on the bottom since I intended to 3D print it. And after warming up the printer and waiting for 3 hours... I was able to do all this in an evening. I'm hoping to do more possibly throughout the Summer as my time and inspiration allow. There are a couple of other sharks I had in mind, but I'm open to crowd-sourcing suggestions/requests.

    Ediacaran Still Life

    Firstly, I am NOT an artist and will never claim to be one! I always have and will refer to my “art” as doodles. I draw these on my IPhone with my finger… that is by definition a doodle! Secondly, I recently realized that there is very little art for a vast majority of Ediacaran Biota. So, I want to eventually give them all their time to shine, even if it’s just doodles with some artistic liberties. This is just for fun after all. My first is Anfesta. I’m not 100% finished but I wanted to share anyways! Cheers!

    Your Favorite Paleoart

    Which are your favorite pieces of Paleoart? Something that captured your imagination when you were younger? Something that accompanies your fossil collection? My personal top three is all ''water themed'', in no particular order: From The book of Great Sea-Dragons , this art by John Martin even if totally inaccurate striked me for the grim and dark atmosphere and apocalytical view. Another inaccurate one but these brachiosaurus appeared in a booklet I had when I was a kid and alwas hit my imagination and now I can appreciate Burian's artistic skills. Eventually something more modern, Globidens by Dan Varner ( which passed away too soon) I like how he captured the feeling of marine life and water, his creatures weren't merely floating in a blue background.
  15. I sculpt scale model dinosaur skulls (and more) on a popular 3D printing service. I put a lot of research and effort into getting these as accurate as I can. These are my personal copies, painted in acrylic with D.I.Y stands.

    Calling all Paleo-Pixel artists!

    I would like to call any and all pixel artists here on the forum for assistance in creating fossil-related pixel art, namely so we can work to put said art on collaborative pixel canvases such as pxls.space and r/place (when the latter comes back again). If you think you are up to the task, I can't wait to see what you guys are capable of creating! Here are some examples of pixel art that I've created to give you all an idea of what I'm looking for: Multiple different versions of Megalodon teeth A Squalicorax shark tooth depicted on a beach

    Old Neanderthal Drawing

    Happened upon this old drawing I did of a Neanderthal man when I was 17 or 18 during the height of my caveman obsession. Probably drew it during class when I was supposed to be paying attention. It's pretty amateurish, but it was good to see his face again. I don't know why I drew him so angry looking, he would have looked better with a big toothy grin.
  18. Here is an idea I had to use a fossil fragment and turn it into something a little more displayable (in my opinion)
  19. Ever thought that it would be interesting to go back into deep time. What would you eat? Could you breath? What would you see? How long would you survive? https://www.esthervanhulsen.com/scale-drawings-prehistoric-life/ See November 4th post: https://www.facebook.com/groups/132070893502850/
  20. Finally finished some new artworks! Ammonites and Nautiloid is 56" x 30"....it's a big one! Trilobites18" x 24"
