Paleo Artwork 2021 part 2
Some more pieces that I have created this year. I think potentially the most art I've ever done on a consistent basis! Starting with Smilodon, the sabre - toothed cat, followed by a new abelisaurid called Llukalkan and then finally Archelon, at over four metres it was the largest turtle that ever lived!

Archelon ischyros mating: The giant turtle Archelon ischyros in a mating courtship. The copulating pair draw in other male Archelon that will try to dislodge the current mating male in order to heighten their own chances of success.
Painting time-lapse
Archelon on the beach: Just as living turtles do today, a female Archelon crawls ashore to lay her eggs during the late Cretaceous period. The appearance of tears is actually excess sea salt expelled by lachrymal salt glands.
