You've heard of Elf on a Shelf, now see a Coelophysid on a Therizinosaurid! Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?
Behold the rare Theri-tree-nosaurus and the Procomp-star-nathus.
Slowly but surely catching up on the Xmas gifts I couldn't send on time vfihvbfh. These are some of the dinos that my friends Adam (the "Compy") and Ryo (the "Theri") play on PoT.
I can't remember Adam's tumblr oh god at least they saw it on Discord dsfhvbf. @corpus-chorus hi sorry this is so late plz enjoy the fluffy turkey with claws.

A Peteinosaurus shows off on a Williamsonia atop a small overgrown cliff, unaware of the Procompsognathus climbing the cliff to sneak up on him. Behind and below them, a Paratypothorax has come to her favourite stream to drink.

I have recently gotten into origami, so here's a wyvern ("dragon", Darren Abbey design) facing off against a procompsognathus (O'Hanlon design), both linked below.

Naming conventions! We’ve all thought about what names are Cool and Good, but which do you NOT like to see?
(Yes Triceratops is iconic, but it’s an example!)

One paleoart for each period since the Cryogenian
Thanks to the timeline on my walls that I've been trying to fill in with my art, I have now reached the point where I've done paleoart for every single period of the Phanerozoic, plus the Ediacaran and Cryogenian! That is to say, every period of the last 700 million years. So with that milestone, I thought it'd be fun to go through those periods in order and show off one paleoart of mine for each!
Cryogenian
Tumblr media
In the Cryogenian, the Earth completely froze over. Twice! Life wasn't much to look at yet, but I enjoyed drawing what our planet might have looked like at the time. The girdle of lakes at the left is the equator, which may have had ice-free patches.
Ediacaran
Tumblr media
When the ice retreated, animals first began to blossom into their endless forms most beautiful. Ediacaran life was strange and quite unlike the creatures that would come later, but it was nonetheless an incredibly important chapter in life's history. Here we see the Ediacaran weirdos washing up on shore after a storm.
Cambrian
Tumblr media
The Cambrian explosion brought much more recognisable creatures. But one thing that's easy to miss is that they were all tiny! All of them? No, Anomalocaris was, with a length of about 40 cm, the dragon of the Cambrian.
Ordovician
Tumblr media
Life continued to diversify in the Ordovician, and among this diversity were the cephalopods. They produced the largest animals yet to exist, the orthocones, who hung vertically in the water column and decended upon their prey like a claw game.
Silurian
Tumblr media
Although fungi and bacteria had already made forays onto the land deep in the past, things began to get busier there in the Silurian. But these horseshoe crabs, and their larger cousins the sea scorpions, have not come to the shore to stay, but to mate and lay eggs. Unfortunately for the horseshoe crabs, they have come to the very same shore.
Devonian
Tumblr media
Our own vertebrate ancestors, like Tiktaalik, were pretty late to the party, only taking their first steps on land in the late Devonian. That's no knock against them - there was plenty to do underwater! This Tiktaalik is busy guarding his eggs while his mate is busy hunting, for example. Who has time to step on land?
Carboniferous
Tumblr media
The end of the Carboniferous saw some quite large bugs, like these two Mazothairos chasing off an interloping Meganeura. They're representatives of a pretty interesting group of basal insects called the Palaeodictyoptera, who have a set of weird little extra wings on their thorax.
Permian
Tumblr media
Among the many fantastic creatures of the Permian were our own cousins, the synapsids, like these lovey-dovey Moschops. As you can see, this picture and the previous one are done in coloured pencils instead of watercolour, because they're the oldest images I'm including in this post. I only very rarely used watercolours before this year. I think it means I should do some more Permian art, it's such a cool and underexposed period.
Triassic
Tumblr media
One mass extinction later, the archosaurs are diversifying all over Triassic Pangaea. Here we have the three main groups of them: Paratypothorax, a pseudosuchian in the background; Peteinosaurus, a pterosaur on top of the cliff; and Procompsognathus, a dinosaur climbing the cliff.
Jurassic
Tumblr media
I had three different option for Jurassic paleoart to showcase, so I picked the most experimental one. These backlit insects are not butterflies, but kalligrammatids, a group of large-winged neuroptera, some of which even mimicked maniraptoran dinosaurs like this iridescent Caihong with their patterns.
Cretaceous
Tumblr media
The Cretaceous featured some of life's most gorgeous crescendos of diversity, like the Yixian formation, where a Psitaccosaurus wants to visit the favourite tree of a group of Sinosauropteryxes, who are having none of it. This is still one of my favourite pieces I've ever drawn.
Paleogene
Tumblr media
The Paleogene featured some of the highest global temperatures of all time, leading to tropical climates all over the planet, including at this lake in what will one day be Messel, Germany. Darwinius, a close cousin to our own ancestors, is having a staredown with the lizard Geiseltaliellus.
Neogene
Tumblr media
The world turned colder and dryer in the Neogene, leading to the spread of large grasslands, like these South American ones. Phorusracos, a large terror bird, has caught a Thoatherium on the edge of the forest they both live in. South America was an isolated continent for the duration of the Neogene, leading to a quite unique fauna.
Quaternary
Tumblr media
The Quaternary, our current period, is marked by the cycle of ice ages regularly freezing the northern hemisphere. But even during the ice ages, spring would come to the mammoth steppes, and these steppe mammoths are happy to celebrate its coming with a bath in the river.

Grant (paraphrased): I just got an x-ray of a living Procompsognathus found on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.
Hammond: Have you told anyone about it yet?
Grant: No.
Hammond. Good. (Paraphrased): Now it’s especially important for you to come to my island. Bring your colleague who’s the only other person who knows about it too. I’ll pay you a dump truck full of money.
Maybe’s it’s just because of a similar scene in The Lost World (book), but this feels more nefarious to me than it did on previous reads. “Did you tell anyone about it?” is always a warning sign.
