That's a gorgeous concept, even a poetic view of which kind of animals survided the event and which ones not. You achieved a great flash lighting effect as well on this one👍, but maybe a bit anachronistic for the late Cretaceous ;)

No image without observer, just making its presence a little more obvious here ;)

Sure, I love these kind of descontextualized stuff anyway, like the camera trap images of paleofauna, keep up the good work 👍

Thank you ^^

Incredible piece, I'm curious of what references you used for the mosa skull and lighting

We get it Asteriornis, you are a goth

So good!

(Makes me think you’d depict commensalism well, i.e. a spider making a web between a ceratopsian’s horns, etc…)

This has to be a reference to this:

A bird has built a bird nest in the mouth of a pike that died by impaling itself on a branch on the shore.

An impressive aspect of these paleostream pieces (& this one in particular) is the use of light. I adore how the lighting in the manner of a flash camera grants the piece a verisimilitude.
