Hi there! I'm a young artist, Student in biology by the UAM and aspiring paleontologist. I love creature design, I'm also an actor.
(I'll starve to death lmao)

Hi there! I'm Joan, an amateur artist who likes to work on prehistoric animals and creature design. Enjoy my stuff!

Also, I'm open for commisions!! Feel free to ask if interested :)

420 Million years before the reign of Mamdani, two Acutiramus wake up from their daylight slumber as thousands are Eurypterus begin to invade the shallow, warm waters of New York.
This is the Fiddlers Green or Bertie Formation, a Silurian lagerstätte known for its eurypterids🧵

We have a new paper on the postcranial skeleton of Paludidraco multidentatus! It is bigger, longer and more robust than the holotype! https://t.co/AfOJqnvWiX

Release the Kraken!!

Nanaimotoeuthis is an extinct genus of octopus from the Late Cretaceous of Canada and Japan, known only from small islands. The species N. haggarti may have been one of the largest cephalopods that ever existed.

🚨NEW STUDY DROP🚨

Possible evidence of burrowing in "Prosauropod," Anchisaurus, is briefly noted in a much larger volume on the Triassic-Jurassic Lagerstätten in Newark Supergroup Rift Basins. The specimen is the Neotype of Anchisaurus, found in the 1800s

@Carlosdino88 @JoschuaKnuppe Hacer que un cefalópodo gigante e incomprensible de las profundidades devore a otro mientras un tetrápodo ve lo que está ocurriendo es la mierda más lovecraftiana y guay que he oído. No tiene que ser más gigante de lo que se especula para poder divertirnos un poco

[Carlos de Miguel @Carlosdino88]

@Fossilpro @JoschuaKnuppe My next objective: a piece of paleoart of a huge Nanaimoteuthis (let's have some fun until other paper downsizes the animal) emerging from the depths, like a prehistoric Cthulhu, and leaving alone a small mosasaur/plesiosaur, while eating a big ammonite.

[RickRaptor105 @RickRaptor105]

Sperm whales preying on giant squid being framed as a "battle" where the squid "winning" means anything other than "managing to escape" is one of the biggest misconceptions in the animal kingdom.

To a sperm whale, a giant squid is just an annoyingly writhing bowl of spaghetti.

Ok, lets have a look at this: Over the last few days a new paper in Science has led to MANY discussions in the paleo community and it appears to have breached containment into the wider world, judging by headlines and google results.

Congratulation on publication!
I created this illustration for the press release for this study.
I would like to thank the researchers for this wonderful oppotunity.

[Hodari Shadowalker ❄️🐆 @HodariNundu]

Imagine diving into the Cretaceous seas worrying about mosasaurs, only to find out mosasaurs live in fear of a 19 m long Cretaceous kraken, a giant cirrate octopus the size of a sperm whale! Nanaimoteuthis may have been just that! :B What a time to be alive!

[Carlos de Miguel @Carlosdino88]

Somewhere in North Africa. 95 million years ago. A male Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, rejected by the females of his own species. A female Spinosaurus mirabilis, wandering far from home. She is impressed by his great size. He finds unexpected love. Life finds a way. #paleoart

[Joschua Knüppe @JoschuaKnuppe]

Which is why I implore people to not be attached to names too much or take naming schemes too serious.

Behold Bicharracosaurus!
