Working on some kobolds designs! And a new render style I've been toying with.

- Asiatosuchus oenotriensis - Only two more illustrations left to complete the poster. Next one is Diplocynodon.

neck details

- Voay robustus - Commission I made for a very nice guy last week. If someone wants to commission me, Im open, as we say in Spain: Bueno, bonito y barato.

Check out this baby crocodile emerging from its egg 🥚 🐊 And read our recent article in @nature.com to learn how compressive forces sculpt their intricate head scales 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41... @lanevol.bsky.social @genevunige.bsky.social

Beonze glaurung just because I like the material

- Iberosuchus macrodon - (Or at least a conservative approximation of what it might look like given the fragmentary nature of the fossils). Looking forward to print and paint it to bring him to life. #sebecosuchia

This post reminded me of an old sketch I made quite some time ago about a hypothetical encounter between the two species. It never quite convinced me, but better to share it than to let it collect dust. #crocodylia

Coming next week #Iberosuchus

- Duerosuchus piscator- #Crocodylia

Barinasuchus reference! this was tedious to make lol, you can ask questions key words lol: Sebecidae Barinasuchus skeletal Barinasuchus Skull Barinasuchus fossil Barinasuchus Argentina Barinasuchus Peru MCN-USB: 01-94 PB M.L.P. 73-III-15-1 Buffetaut & Hoffstetter 1977 Gasparini 1984 MAAT-0260

Our lab isn't exactly Santa's workshop, but the dermestids (& OHIO Honors undergrad Grace Vance & I) have been slowly preparing the alligator known as #ShoeGator (OUVC 9761, left). We saved the shoe (& his penis—preserved in the jar) & are now assembling some of the parts (e.g. paws). Fun project! 🐊

Duerosuchus piscator Wip for my next project. #crocodilia

Lately I have been very interested in V. priscus and I have discovered the existence of this book, but it seems to be very outdated. Can anyone who has it confirm if it is worthwhile?

Coming in 2025

A triple portrait of Thylacines I`ve just finished. Painted in watercolours and is based on the well known videos from Hobart zoo.

Some more photos of the amazing lace monitor I saw in Wilhelma Zoo Stuttgart:

LIFESIZED (1:1) Barinasuchus acrylic painting!!

Hallopus victor - A #jurassic crocodylomorph from the Morrison Formation. #paleoart #sciart #croc

Today is my 24th birthday and I can say that it has been a rough year. Keeping on track is sometimes difficult but I keep striving to be better every day. Never lose sight of your goals, guys. Anyways, here's the gift from my gf @yeyaart.bsky.social , she made my day.

New submission to the Lemuria Eocene event by Joschua Knüppe because I really felt like doing a monkey crocodile.

- Sebecus icaeorhinus - For a prototype, I am quite happy with the result. #Crocodylomorpha

Rutiodon grabbing a pterosaur (based on Caelestiventus) in watercolors. #paleoart #sciart

Bust of Sebecus icaeorhinus. This is actually a test for a larger -Iberosuchus- project I am working on. Sebecosuchia was really something. #Crocodylomorpha

Not perfect, but not bad. Learned some important lessons. Next will be better!

Little fun fact, when suggesting this composition to Joschua, part of the idea was that a recent study found resonance chambers in Caipirasuchus, which further ties into improved hearing in baurusuchids, which might suggest that these animals were a lot more sound-based #notosuchia #caipirasuchus
