Love your artworks, most of them would be definitely worthy of a publication.

some doodle i made depicting Dimetrodon grandis at odds with one another. i was wondering which pose would everyone like to see as a colored drawing.

The upper left! Wildly creative pose.

"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD

some sketches of animals that lived in the Yixian formation

Nice little sketches, I'm ashamed to say I know very little about the Yixian fauna. My favourite of these is easily the Sinocalliopteryx. Plucking feathered meals is a behaviour you see in modern birds of prey, so it's a neat idea to speculate that predatory dinosaurs might have done it as well.

Daaaaaang, you have the skills. I'm really impressed. It's awesome to see someone who does lots of lineart instead of coloring everything. There's some kind of exquisite beauty in well-crafted line work that I feel too often gets obscured by the colors and shading that almost inevitably get layered on any reasonably complete piece. I like a good painting as much as the next guy, but I'm an absolute sucker for sketches and lineart, and you, sir, do credit to these rarely seen techniques.

thanks alot forthe kind comment. i agree, sketching and  lineart definitely has it's place in art as the observable process of how an artist creates a piece of art. it's one of the reasons i'm starting to make more line art more often.

Glad to find someone who enjoys this technique as much as I do.

Another thing I should probably mention is that I love the way you flesh out your critters. They're visibly muscular, with no major muscle groups absent as is so common in paleoart, yet they're still lean and svelte, as one would expect a wild animal to be. Good work on the patagia as well. So often people leave out the patagia on the posterior of the knees for some reason, even though the vast majority of vertebrates possess them. The only animals I'm aware of that don't have them are monkeys and apes, and the sprawling reptiles, which is probably related to their unusual postures. More likely than not, nonavian dinosaurs probably possessed them, and I think they add to the believability of your drawings.

Wow, very good drawings. And Gualicho is very recently discovered.

Great work as usual! I love the Mapusaurus.

Well done!  I don't know that I've ever seen paleoart of a spinosaur defending its young.  :)

Makes a lot of sense, considering its crocodilianess.
