What is Paleoart?

Paleoart is artistic depictions of prehistory, focusing on subjects such as dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals, archaic plant life, ancient insects, early hominids, and the environments they lived in.

Pyrosaurus rex

Pyrosaurus rex or p.rex(funny name) is the largest theropod of my manga k.m.a(yeah my manga which will likely start 5 or 6 years in the future) it's nearly identical to a trex but massive it's height is 17 hums oh yeah my manga has a special measurement system for the height of creatures humometer or hums(1 hum = 1 average human in height) pyrosaurus is about 17 hums for an average male and 16 for female the largest specimen big scar got to 25 hums and the mass of a average pyrosaurus rex is 85.5 to 90.8 metric tons leave your thoughts is it accurate for a trex specialy the legs I always have problem with legs when doing paleoart and is the weight too low it too high I really think it's quite low considered that argentinosaurus easily got over 100 tons thought way smaller than pyrosaurus in height

Dinovember Days 10,11, & 12. [OC] Graphite sketches. Sandhill Crane, Acrocanthosaurus, and Plateosaurus.

Every Dinovember I like to include an extant bird and before anyone complains, we have Sandhill crane fossils from 4mya and some possible fragmentation fossils from 20mya so either way it's an ancient bird. For Acorcanthosaurus scrape marks believed to belong to Acro showcase what may be a mating dance for the theropod, not too dissimilar to what many modern birds will do. And I gave plateosaurus feathers for two reasons; feathers are likely more ancestral to dinosauria than many thought, and relatively recent study found that prosauropods/sauropodomorphs in Triassic & Early Jurassic only inhabited cooler more polar/boreal regions of the Earth.

[OC] been forgetting to post lately, Dinovember Day 9 Cryolophosaurus

I'll be caught up soon as I did a few days worth on the same page. One of the hardest parts of any Dinovember is remembering to actually post your artwork.

Two cartilagenous fish and a primate

A drawing of a Helicoprion and a large great white with a person for scale, despite what some sources say, helicoprion and it's relatives were not sharks, but are more closely related to rat fish than true sharks
