Matt G. ♾️🍉 (29 days 🎂) WIP for my latest dinosaur arts: (Been taking a two month hiatus from drawing them) This dinosaur right here is an iguanodontid of Early Cretaceous Africa, in what’s now Niger back when the deserts used to be a series of floodplains. #ArtistOnBlueSky #AS05 #PencilSketch #Paleoart #Dinosaurs
Matt G. ♾️🍉 (29 days 🎂) WIP of a future dinosaur artwork: This dinosaur was depicted with a neck frill and spat venom and was much smaller in pop culture, when in reality there’s no evidence of traits and the dinosaur was much larger in life. #ArtistOnBlueSky #AS05 #Dinosaurs #Paleoart #WIP
