Ildar Gismatullin (COMMISSIONS CLOSED)

Updated commission chart. 🙂 Now, instead of difficult digital sketches, there are traditional sketches with a pen. Also, the prices for fullbody linearts with shadows and color and detailed works are slightly lowered.

Introducing Mosura fentoni, a new radiodont from the #BurgessShale. Paper here: doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2… This #fossil species has 3 eyes, spiny claws, wing-shaped swimming flaps, and a unique abdomen-like body region.

New paper day! Phil Bell led a great study on some *INSANELY COOL* titanosaur tracks our expedition found in Mongolia. The scales in particular are extra awesome - they're like little pyramids, and they *may* have helped with scratch digging and/or walking on sandy surfaces!

Oh BOY! Story time! All the way back in 2016, on our way back from Munich for a EAVP meeting, @dinosven got a mail by Georg Göltz, attached were some first images of an incredible specimen. That evening we went over the material again and again...

Sauropods dared to ask the radical question: "What if dinosaurs were really, really big?" I will post an ID chart later, but if anyone wants to guess, then feel free to sound off in the comments. 🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕

A Once Green Antarctica

A pair of Alvarezsaurus frolick together amongst the ferns. Interestingly, the color scheme here is basically what is now known to have adorned the feathered pelt of at least one Sinosauropteryx specimen.

An experimental portrait of Tarbosaurus bataar. Here I tried brushes imitating oil paint and charcoal. Tarbosaurus is a close relative of T. rex, known mainly from specimens of different ages from the Maastrichtian of Mongolia. Done in Adobe Photoshop. #paleoart #dinosaur

Reconstruction of noasaurid Kiyacursor longipes from the Early Cretaceous of the Kemerovo region (Russia). It's known by partial postcranial skeleton including articulated hindlimbs. Kiyacursor had cursorial adaptations and could run quickly from predators. #paleoart

Color portrait of Asfaltovenator vialidadi, a probable relative of an Allosaurus. It's partial skeleton with skull was found in Lower Jurassic sediments of Cañadón Asfalto Formation in Argentina. This dinosaur has a mixture of primitive and progressive traits. #paleoart

Red sketch of Tyrannosaurus rex with exoparia, a recently found soft tissue in cheek region. This structure probably stabilized jaw during feeding. Similar tissues were found in extant chickens and could be present in many non-avian dinosaurs. Done in Paint. #paleoart

Portrait of Inostrancevia alexandri, very big gorgonopsid from Late Permian Russia. It's known by skulls and skeletons from Arkhangelsk region. With high head up to 50 cm long and sabre-like serrated canines, Inostrancevia was apex-predator of its region. #paleoart

Speculative sketches of Maip macrothorax head. Left is more traditional megaraptoran head and right is more convergent to carcharodontosaurs. Maip was the biggest known megaraptoran. It was described based on partial postcranial skeleton from Argentina. #paleoart #dinosaur

Just want post this Tyrannosaurus piece by James Field because it's beautiful

Albertosaurus, Ammosaurus, Anchisaurus, and Ankylosaurus - James Field
