#Temnovember a study of the Jurassic temnospondyl Sinobrachyops, which lived alongside mamenchisaurs. Smaller than I picture temnos! Partly inspired by the work of cqin & Emily Stepp. Larva is speculative & not to scale

New speculative paleoart study of the Middle Jurassic brachyopid temnospondyl Sinobrachyops. Definitely an underrated Mesozoic amphibian.
Digital sketch study of Sinobrachyops. At top left is a larval form based on a related genus, at top right is a sketch of the fossil skull and an idealized diagram with a mandible based on related genera, bottom left is a very rough size estimate and skeletal diagram, bottom right is speculative sexual dimorphism based on modern salamanders, in the middle is an adult female guarding eggs also based on modern salamanders.

Someone whose #paleoart I have been really vibing with lately is Reiimon on DeviantArt. Great use of perspective and vivid, sometimes surreal colors.
A curious and hungry Yutyrannus observes a shoal of fish in a lake from the top of a thin layer of ice. Pehaps, too thin of an ice sheet...?

Sinobrachyops was one of the first post-Triassic (non-lissamphibian) temnos to be reported!

One of my favorite things about art is that I end up getting a better understanding of the subject through the process. AI understands nothing.
Speculative study of Sinobrachyops. Study from photographs of horsetails. Study of Hypsilophodon anatomy. Speculative and narrative based paleoart of Leshansaurus hunting Agilisaurus.

Some speculative paleoart for an ongoing project centered around the Lower Shaximiao Formation. #Paleoart #SciArt
"The rains have returned to the Lower Shaximiao Formation, approximately 166 million years ago. A young Datousaurus’ first river crossing with its herd has ended in tragedy, and an unexpected feast. Floodwater swept away the inexperienced sauropodlet, striking rocks and filling its lungs with the muddy torrent. In the morning during a break in the storms, a group of mesopredators gather to enjoy the bounty. Chuandongocoelurus, Kaijiangosaurus, and Gasosaurus coexist peacefully during this moment of abundance." We've chosen to depict all three theropods as distinct, but there's a chance that Kaijangosaurus and Gasosaurus were synonymous. Speculative paleoart study of the Middle Jurassic brachyopid temnospondyl Sinobrachyops with sexual dimorphism and ontogeny. A speculative storybook style paleoart scene from the Middle Jurassic featuring Shaximiao Formation dinosaurs. An Omeisaurus bull interrupts the Yangchuanosaurus pair hunting a scared Huayangosaurus. Another speculative paleoart piece in the Spring and Autumn in Shaximiao project. "Xiahou Dun's Forest Hunt" takes place in the summer at a dry creek bed where a pair of the small ornithischian dinosaurs, Agilisaurus, are trying to nest peacefully before being attacked by the medium sized theropod Leshansaurus individual known in our story as Xiahou Dun.
