Maternal Needs

Meganthropus palaeojavanicus of Sangiran, Central Java, Indonesia. A hominid that lived during the early-middle Pleistocene. Brush test from last year. The fur brush is by Ville Sinkkonen, which you can get from his gumroad. Easily my top 5 brushpacks.

Saichania chulsanensis

Dread snek

Apidium from oligocene of Fayum, Egypt

Citipati osmolskae, watercolor

Microsyops fur brush demo. Quick one. Brushes now available here villes.gumroad.com/l/rkrac

#Commissions Open! Updated commission board.

Portrait of a Kestrel I met this fluffed up little guy out in the fields of Friesland in the Netherlands, observing me observing him, from his safe perch atop a lamp post. Acrylics on board 26 x 26 cm

Devonion fishies Elpistostege (close relative of the famous Tiktaalik) and couple of bothriolepis swimming by. Needs updating but still thinking this is one of my better paintings I have done

Work of Margret Flinch should get more attention and be named along the Knight and Christman as the great paleoartists. Illustrator and sculptor among other things she made life reconstructions to Osborns massive two part monograph series on proboscideans. I’m particularly fond of these ink drawings

It was a massive pleasure to work with you!!

Words cannot describe how excited I am to announce the publication of my first peer-reviewed paper published in the Journal of Mammalian Evolution! Here's a big, fancy thread summarizing everything: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Studies of the elephants for which we actually know what the size and morphology of external ear looks like. From left to right woolly mammoth, asian elephant, savannah elephant, forest elephant. Scaled to around same head size

Squeezing in one more art piece before the end of 2024, a year after having the opportunity to do fieldwork in the Candeleros Fm of Argentina's Neuquén Basin. That trip inspired this piece, which depicts a group of titanosaurs traveling a dry interdune riverbed at sunset. #paleoart #sauropods 🦕

My latest piece! "A serpent in the making" Basically a show of how I work as an artist.... Featuring Hainosaurus bernardi alongside some Squalicorax sharks and fish. Belgium circa 67 million years ago.

After the Moa, another bird for this mammal-heavy series. Which makes me wonder if we have any paleolithic depictions of now extinct reptiles... #paleoart #SciArt #artbyjulio

2024 has be rewarding – the Marsh Palaeoart Award and the SVP 2D Paleoart Award. #SciArt #SciComm #PaleoArt #PalaeoArt

First post here. Nothing better to start than the fire beast, Pyrotherium!

Llanocetus and a diver #paleoart

#FossilFriday with its bizarre skull, the protocetid whale Makaracetus has become my beloved nemesis. It’s extremely hard to reconstruct, but @gohar.bsky.social recently told me that my illustration of it is the most accurate he’s seen, so I must be on the right track. #paleoart #sciart #whale

An Unktaheela with calf are getting annoyed by a couple of Hesperornis. This plesiosaur with forward facing eyes must have been a surprisingly cute potato for a marine reptile. #paleoart #sciart #paleostream #plesiosaur #scicomm

oh I forgot I made this too...Rare venture to invertebrates. but who doesnt like nice Trigonotarbid

The late Eocene of Mongolia received the culmination of more than 20 million years of a trend mammalian gigantism after the KPg, which brontotheres specialized becoming some of the largest land mammals on earth with species like Embolotherium andrewsi reaching the height an Asian Elephant.

Andrewsarchus once though to have been a mesonychid of large size, it passed through varied cladistic revisions that changed radically the way it was reconstructed, now it is the only member of its own family, Andrewsarchidae most close relative to entelodonts.

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to announce that I will be hiring two Postdocs for my new group(!) in Copenhagen to study the Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA which survives in present-day humans. Retweet will be much appreciated :) Link for application: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

Lowland Gorilla This painting was sold at the RITZ fundraiser at the San Diego Zoo in 2023, contributing to the new Elephant Valley and their partner sanctuary, the community-led Reteti Elephant Sanctuary in northern Kenya. Watercolor and colored pencil on museum board 15.7″ x 21.3″ (40 x 54 cm)

Pakicetus attocki

Hesperotherium is among the youngest chalicotheres in the fossil record, although it's only known by few jaw pieces and teeth, comparing to other chalicotheres like Nestoritherium it likely could have had a short muzzle, if they had the usual late chalicothere body form is just speculative.

Wake up, babe! New fossil footprints just dropped! 🏺🧪 Trackway found in Kenya shows that H. erectus and P. boisei basically lived side-by-side, which is bonkerballs cool! www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

Absolute shock and pleasure that my artwork will feature in the upcoming Mesozic Art II I've no formal education in art, most of my works are just quick personal doodles for fun. I'm glad they resonate with people. But, geniuenly, a huh, moment.

Don’t mind me hopping onto this but dark and moody #paleoart is my jam!! #SciArt #artbyjulio

Results from the #paleostream! Archaeodromus (a wish by @albertonykus.bsky.social ), Montanoceratops (a wish by @montanoceratops.bsky.social), Synauchenia and Venyukovia.

Arthropleura, the largest known arthropod to ever exist at an estimated 2.5 metres long, walks slowly along an ancient Carboniferous coastline looking for food.

Sick World Channeled my inner Wayne Barlowe for this one. #SciArt #paleoart #artbyjulio

Oh wow I missed that we passed 3k thank you so much everyone! We’re racing towards Twitter follower levels like this megaloceras in no time :)

a new little star shines brightly above the Siberian horizon. a little Homotherium latidens, that seems to be just a few weeks old, was found in Yakutia #paleoart #sciart

Livyatan and prey

My take on Godzilla . When I made this lineart I didn't have any background in mind other than that, evolutionarily speaking, it's some kind of Mesoeucrocodylia. Now I'm thinking about going back to the concept and making a good lore for him.
