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.

Starting paleo art
I was wondering if anyone on here had any tips for drawing paleo art, dinosaurs specifically. I have just started with it fairly recently so I don’t have much experience.

Diabloceratops update: Added scutes to body and around eye and frill. Added quills, reshaped front of head and added an eye like pattern to the frill like how butterflies have on their wings

Diabloceratops I’m currently working on. Any improvements you’d make? I feel like the skull is a bit elongated so I’m gonna try fixing that a little later

Where to find serious paleo-art tasks you can attempt...?
If you'are a professional paleo artist, you work for clients who typically give you the project and the scientific info you need to create it, reference images and info about how to use them, what to take from each. They also give you feedback on work in progress to let you know if it's accurate.
So, my question is, how can I reproduce that commission process as an aspiring professional, not for money but to create a portfolio piece? Where can I find a list of instructions on how to reproduce an animal or how I should create a promotional painting without having to play scientist myself.
An idea I have is... If I'm an aspiring paleo artist willing to do this for free, there must be aspiring scientists too that would be happy to collaborate on such a project, what would be a good place to ask around?
