it was a lot of fun to work on the entomofauna for Solnhofen. The main tricky part about the formation is its sheer size and age. This site has been worked on for centuries and has had the most named species of any fossil site. Many specimens are straight up not available online in any capacity!
The size charts this time were a collaborative effort between @montanoceratops.bsky.social,
@seismic-shrimp.bsky.social @sassypn.bsky.social
and me. As you can see there the local insect fauna had some bangers. When you want large insect interacting with dinosaurs/pterosaurs: this is your place!

Joined late cause of a movie night, so "only" 3/4 drawings
Hopped on CSP this time and it helps a lot for quicker drawings, especially happy with the Baryonyx tbh, REALLY wanna properly render this

A group of Dorygnathus use a Seirocrinus raft as a hunting ground for fish, when a big Eurhinosaurus suddenly breaches the surface.
This scene takes place in Germany during the Early Jurassic, around 180 million years ago.

It's been years since I touched anything this human that is more than just a sketch.
A night well spend I think.

Can I drag your attention to the artworks by contemporary Czech palaeoartist, Vladimir Rimbala. His works are a perfect mix of modern science and retro composition (🧵)
