Hey all! 👋

To introduce myself for any newcomers, I'm a primarily digital artist with an interest in paleontology. I draw a lot of dinosaurs, as well as some creature art and fanart (particularly Jurassic Park).
A traditional drawing showing a bust of the megalosaur Wiehenvenator albati. Fakemon designs based on Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. A picture of the various T. rex designs from the indie video game Saurian hanging out together. Cheers! Drawings loosely based on the Alamosaurus from the game Jurassic World Evolution 2.

A JP-styled Psittacosaurus I did for fun. Ultimately, I think it looks better and more distinct with the quills even if they were only described after the first trilogy had wrapped (from what I can tell).

Sharing some WIP sketches since I haven't posted new art in a while

I'd been meaning to post more art here and it totally slipped my mind for a bit there.

But, with Jurassic World Evolution 3 coming out soon (including a host of baby dinos & other animals) I figured I'd share more of the hypothetical baby JP/JW animal designs I did a while back.
A what-if depiction of a juvenile/subadult Tyrannosaurus based on the design from The Lost World: Jurassic Park. A size comparison between an adult animal, a baby, and an average adult man is also included. A what-if depiction of a baby Compsognathus based on the design from The Lost World: Jurassic Park. A size comparison between an adult animal and an average adult man's hand is also included. A what-if depiction of a baby Mosasaurus based on the design from Jurassic World. A size comparison between an adult animal and an average adult man is also included. A what-if depiction of baby Pteranodon & Geosternbergia based on the designs from Jurassic Park 3 and The Lost World: Jurassic Park respectively. A size comparison between an adult animals and an average adult man is also included.

Going off the Spinoraptors I posted recently, here's the sketch sheet that design arose from. This was done following Jurassic World Evolution 2 releasing their hybrid-centric DLC.

Here's a quick T. rex stop motion test I did yesterday, with a puppet I've made. I wanted to animate more, but I bumped into the camera 🙄

The puppet is made of wire and foam for the body. The head is made of a 3D print skull by Vitamin Imagination, and the "skin" is just unbaked sculpey

Sharing some Spinoraptor color schemes while I'm working on other stuff.

My take on JWE's Spinoraptor, with color schemes mixing the JP3 Spinosaurus with the male and female raptor respectively from the same film. My take on JWE's Spinoraptor, with color schemes mixing the JP3 Spinosaurus with the raptors from JP & TLW respectively. My take on JWE's Spinoraptor, with color schemes mixing the Kenner Spinosaurus & Utahraptor as well as the JP3 CamoXtreme Jungle Spinosaurus with the mini Desert Velociraptor. My take on JWE's Spinoraptor, with color schemes based on the JWE1 & JWE2 defaults, as well as one with a similar pattern but a "swampier" look.

Here's my take on the Rebirth Spinosaurus!

I feel I've seen equal parts love and disdain for these guys, and frankly I'm with the latter. I don't love what I've seen so far, and being early attempts/more "modern" does not carry the design for me. Still much prefer JP3's.
An illustration of an alternate take on the Spinosaurus from Jurassic World: Rebirth, with the main differences being a more defined spinosaurine skull, a slimmer but still shortened neck, and spikes along the sail on the tail. With the final design not yet revealed, it's hard to confirm what else counts as a notable change.

Did I make this solely because the Rebirth Mosasaur looks a little “portly” in the merch?

Yes, yes I did.
A drawing of the Jurassic World Rebirth Mosasaurus washed up on a beach, surrounded by the three smaller spinosaurs. Text along the top riffing off an online article about a crocodile reads “Obese 200-foot-long mosasaur dies from overeating after spinosaurs keep throwing it children and boats for good luck”.

Next up it's the Quetzalcoatlus.

I've seen people say the Dominion look was perfectly fine and could've been used here again, and I generally agree with that. Though if they want to lean into the "wrong/unfinished" angle, I think some flashier head ornamentation might be nice.
An illustration of an alternate take on the Quetzalcoatlus from the Jurassic World: Rebirth trailer, with the main differences being a thinner beak, a hornbill-like crest instead of the "nose horn", and serrations along the beak.

I haven't talked much about Rebirth, but atm I'm not loving it. The series "reset" is odd and I don't love the creature designs on the whole. As someone immersed in the designs of this franchise, I feel that carries some weight and I wanted to share my takes on the new dinos.
An illustration of an alternate take on the "Titanosaurus" from the Jurassic World: Rebirth trailer, with the main differences being a bulkier neck, more emphasis on inflatable pouches near the head, and swapping the fish fins for sails/spikes. A closeup of the head of my redesign of the “Titanosaurus” from the Jurassic World: Rebirth trailer.

Allosaurs are formidable predators on their own, but are even more capable in pairs or occasional groups of 3. Records of a poacher who shot an Allosaur but failed to down it paint a grim picture of his final hours.

This is the last (for now) of a series from last year. Posting the rest soon!

It’s my birthday today!

My resolution for this year is to do more with my art and to push myself to improve. I’m very excited!

Here’s an old drawing of mine with someone getting the Prosaurolophus they wanted for Christmas.

Happy Holidays everyone! ❄️

I recently commissioned @gamevideosforlife.bsky.social to make some JWE2 Velociraptor cosmetics for me and they turned out amazing!

If you want to use these in your own parks, I'll include the Nexus link below.

As a result of changes made during the cloning process, InGen’s Carnotaurus favor ambush hunting over pursuit. Enhanced eyesight and sophisticated chromatophores in their skin allow the animals to track prey through dense foliage while hiding in plain sight.

Its eyes are like those of a chameleon. A size comparison between it, a human, and the JP Tyrannosaurus is also present alongside a skull logo.

InGen's Microceratops are largely arboreal animals, similar to monkeys or squirrels. While they excel at leaping from branch to branch, they can also move quickly along the ground by hopping like wallabies.

A size comparison between it, a housecat, and the JP Compsognathus is also present alongside a silhouette logo. A closeup on the Microceratops' head, neck, and shoulder.

InGen’s Ouranosaurus is certainly a spectacle to behold. Its vibrant, fiery sail mirrors the crimson sunsets that often grace the tropics of Central America.

More patient and reserved hunters than most, InGen's Metriacanthosaurs can be overlooked in favor of the company's bigger, louder, and more vicious carnivores. But their calm demeanor can be deceiving, and turning your back on them is just as much a mistake.

Its body is light brown with a white underside, a dark brown/purple color along the animal's skull & back, and white dappling that turns pink as it nears the spine.
