A Tired Pterosaur
@atiredpterosaur
A dude who's obsessed with things that have been dead for millions of years. Kem Kem pterosaur nerd. My fiancée is the best! He/Him
Alanqidae - The Gondwanan Phoenixes The alanqids are a relatively newly recognised pterosaur group, and here are all the currently perceived members; Alanqa, Xericeps and Leptostomia from Morocco, and Argentinadraco from, well, Argentina.
Now for my final #LemuriaChallenge Phase 3 submissions! Here are some inhabitants of the coastal waters around Lemuria; a Nautilus-eating cownose ray, a green lionfish, and my first ever Lemurian invertebrates submissions. #Paleostream
Another submission for #LemuriaChallenge Phase 3! This time it's the Turaco Jungledrake, a derived species of late-surviving pterosaur that has evolved along the lines of a forest browser. #Paleostream
Some may notice a subtle reference to a very different Lemuria with this one
Time for more #LemuriaChallenge Phase 3 submissions, and we end up in the drier regions of the continent. Preferring the warmer savannah and deserts are a large horned mammal (actually a derived multituberculate) an almost symbiotic parrotlet, and a somewhat spiked skink.
Time for more Phase 3 #LemuriaChallenge submissions! I did quite a few birds this time; a palaelodid descended from my Phase 2 species, a moustached penguin, and two rails also descended from one of my Phase 2 species. #Paleostream
Time to start posting my entries to Phase Three of the #Paleostream #LemuriaChallenge! Rotundus is back, and is now more numerous, and more rotund, than ever before!
A very successful #DinoConUk! And managed to pick up some amazing stuff this year, not least the awesome giant Kem Kem poster by @kakapojay.bsky.social! And I finally, after all these years, got myself a copy of @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social's Europasaurus!
All seated for David Armsby's talk, and a new Dinosauria episode!! @edaphosaurus.bsky.social #DinoConUK
Chonk is back and today he's reunited with his brother Chungus! @edaphosaurus.bsky.social #DinoConUK
Apparently both International Dinosaur Day and the start of Pride Month are on the same day this year! So here's a few LGBTQ+ dino couplings I've done over the years. Happy Pride everyone!! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Unsure if this is common knowledge or not, but the 'voice actor' for the Rhamphorhynchus in Walking With Dinosaurs were these guys. Razorbills. This one in the photo made that exact noise at a kittiwake that got too close.
Apparently this isn't the first time I've drawn Australovenator being bullied by Muttaburrasaurus. I originally doodled something similar when I was 14.
This originated as an updated version of a scene from Walking With Dinosaurs in light of the new study surrounding Muttaburrasaurus. As time went on, however, it ended up heavily inspired by the sequence in Planet Earth where a desperate polar bear attacks a herd of walruses.
Queenslandian Standoff In the middle of a bad winter, a starving Australovenator desperately attacks a herd of Muttaburrasaurus on the coast. The predator attempts to go for a youngster hiding behind its' mother, but the defensive herd surrounds him. His chances don't look good.
Attenborosaurus, a pliosaur named after Sir David Attenborough, curiously inspects a Tiltoniceras, an ammonite found by Attenborough as a child that helped spark his interest in the natural world. Happy 100th birthday, Sir David! #attenborosaurus #sirdavidattenborough
Terrible (at being) Lizards A pair of Dinosaurus hurchisonii lounging around and being lazy, oblivious to the dramatic irony of being a fragmentation therapsid named Dinosaurus.
If I had a nickel for every time I drew a female ending of an ancient species in her final days, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
Meeting Upon The Highway The beachfront of Jurassic Portugal is often used as a highway by sauropods. Here a female Lusotitan is attempting to use it, but has caught the eye of another visitor; a large male, who begins displaying to her. Time will tell if she is interested.
Was lucky enough to spot a pair of them while there on my honeymoon
Here's the new Compsognathus next to the original from 2018. The original version had the poor animal dead in the Solnhofen lagoon, but the ending to this Dinovember is a happier one, with it alive and well, and with a more natural-looking appearance.
Dinovember Glow Up #30 - Compsognathus The final day of Dinovember, and we finish with a Compsognathus leaping into the air. It's been a lot of fun revisiting these prompts and I'm very happy with how these glow ups turned out. Happy Dinovember! #drawdinovember #Dinovember2025
Here's the new Giganotosaurus next to the 2018 original. All the new carcharodontosaurid research since the original has hopefully translated well into this.
Dinovember Glow Up #29 - Giganotosaurus Our penultimate glow up goes to Giganotosaurus, which we see here charging and bellowing in an aggressive threat display. Only one to go now... #drawdinovember #Dinovember2025
