![]() ![]() Illustration of the predatory dinosaur Atrociraptor, known from jaw fragments relatively robust when compared to similar forms. Purposefully-mistaken reconstruction of the strange herbivorous mammal Macrauchenia portraying its strange, almost sauropod-like skull (see lower-left-side corner) as that of an aquatic, quasi-reptilian herbivore. ![]() Illustration of a woman encountering a Mastigaunt - a strange, crescent-shaped quasi-machine that hovers above the ground thanks to its long, grounding tail filaments. The thin digits on its legs are scent organs that help it track its quarry. Illustration of an Ahulph - a dog-and-spider-like indigene to the world of Durdane. Not a real animal, but the result of an exercise in speculative evolution.Īn Ahulph from Jack Vance's Durdane series Created as the result of a prize draw among various concepts submitted by my Twitter friends. Illustration of an Anatorhynchus - a small, duck-billed water serpent. A properly aquatic swimmer, Kryptonatator would have sported specialisations for swimming which would later, independently be echoed in waterfowl-like, tail-powered swimming theropods such as Halzskaraptor. Why must every unusual fossil from there be lumped into Spinosaurus?! I thus split the 2020 tail into a new animal, speculatively named Kryptonatator vexilluros, more closely related to lithe, Deltadromeus-like predators. Clearly, many strange semi-aquatic dinosaurs shared the habitat Spinosaurus lived in. The deep tail with paddle-like projections, described in 2020, on the other hand - has scant evidence connecting it to the larger animal. In 1915 clearly come from a tall-spined, Baryonyx-or- Suchomimus-like animal - perhaps a bear-like littoral generalist. The tall spines initially described by Ernst Stromer I personally suspect that Spinosaurus is a chimera. Labeled concept art of a monstrous chimareal chasseur, Dragoonia polyglandis, created for the Phtanum B speculative evolution project. Portraits of Shunosaurus and Brachiosaurus two members of the long-necked sauropod dinosaur lineage. Created to accompany Nathaniel Brislin's book, Crawlers: A Conclusive Casebook (ISBN: 978-1955471701). Illustration of an infamous North American "pale crawler" cryptid, realistically imagined as a tailless, boreal form of New World monkey. Visit here for a tutorial of my illustration process.
