Gabriel N. U.

It is, once more, #PortfolioDay Hi, I am Gabriel, and I am a paleaortist and scientific illustrator. Here are a few examples of my work depicting some long extinct friends 😊. #paleoart #sciart

Please welcome the AMAZING Mirasaura grauvogeli, a NEW MARVELOUS Drepanosaur published in NATURE today! This astonishing reptile lived during the Middle Triassic in Europe and it possessed an amazing crest made of plume-like structures! I was commissioned to bring it to life!

Ur wonderful paleoart made it on the german news!! :D

Need a new Dinotopia book so we can get artwork of a pirate that wears one on each soldier like a parrot

Hello to a new #Triassic reptile with similarities to 'plumed' #Longisquama: Mirasaura grauvogeli Spiekman et al., 2025. Paper is #OA and in @Nature. Both animals are drepanosauromorphs, an increasingly special and remarkable group! nature.com/articles/s4158… #fossils #evolution

So great to get more context for Longisquama!

Bonus post, look at the little guy!

Awesome! Paleo artist Gabriel Ugueto (@SerpenIllus) did a great job in bringing this prehistoric oddity to life. BTW, Mirasaura grauvogeli means "Grauvogel's Wonder Reptile". Article: nature.com/articles/s4158…

The elaborate crest represents a new perspective in the evolution of feather-like structures in reptiles. Mirasaura was related to another bizarrely-crested reptile, Longisquama, and both appear to belong to an already very weird group: Drepanosauromorphs

Wow! So Longisquama wasn't a palm frond after all!

a very bizarre integumentary structure. Looks "feather-like" but is a completely distinct. Also preserves melanosomes that are very similar in shape to those of feathers. A very weird animal indeed.

I am proud and grateful to present a dream project today in @Nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… Meet #Mirasaura grauvogeli, a #wonderreptilewith skin appendages that rival feathers and hairs, challenging our view of reptile #evolution🪶🦎

Super Amazing NEW SPECIES coming out in a few hours! I am so excited for you all to see this and see the illustration I did for it

More concept art for Surviving Earth. This time by the legendary @MAntonPaleoart I am so happy to be in the company of amazing paleoartists for this project

OMG I just got the heads up that later this week a really COOL paper will come out about an AMAZING NEW SPECIES I did an illustration for it and I am SUPER excited for you to see it!

This is how baby Five-lined Skinks (Plestiodon fasciatus) try to lure predators away from their bodies and focus on their bright blue tails
