She's tiny, but mighty. Hatches her cluch in only 14 days.

Well about 3 years ago in 2016 I had bought a sketchbook to make drawings, and for the first time and as a start, I decided to create different sketches of dinosaur head portraits and several other clades related including squamates birds and whatever extinct clade, together forming a parade of diapsids since for that at that moment in time I did not tend to do much paleoart, an attempt to do it by hand without exact references except those that I could remember in my head, a first attempt that wasn't that good, but was something. From there I kept the original page saved while improving with my artistic skills, eventually it had occurred to me to take the page again and rework in the heads, adding and correcting details and also incorporating other species, eventually ending up with something much more varied and complex. At first I was thinking of simply sharing it as a pencil drawing without any other modifications like the previous version, however, I felt it was not really enough to be shared considering that I could do something better or at least decent using digital, so for several weeks I had started painting, changing some misinterpretation of certain animals features and if it was necessary to modify a complete outline if it was not right. And so I ended up creating this new version better prepared, painted and more details, it has also allowed me to practice and experiment with a wider range of textures including scales that I had created for a long time or by hand in drawing, added with photoshop of textures or simply drawn which although it was easy, that not always ended with a good look result, as well as new patterns of colors and mixtures for some dinosaurs. I'm going to leave a list of the species added if people want to known which species is, with a image labeled to locate them. As well some comments on specific species

1) Shoebill (Balaeniceps rex)

2) Diamond firetail (Stagonopleura guttata) I would say I started trying just to draw a random finch due to the conversation on discord with friends but eventually I had to choose a specific species, a good friend suggested me this finch in particular.

3) Kelenken guillermoi Have to say this was the animal that suffered the most transformations since the original drawing as I've changed of sources over time, even though the coloration I nailed the coloration well

4) Deinonychus antirrhopus I tried to experiment with spot patter considering the type of environment that this theropod inhabited, despite the fact that certain colorations of birds of prey fits well for them, thought that different lifestyles would likely make this dromaeosaur coloration not like a bird of prey, so I started to see possible references, feline being the closest and based on certain types of tropical forest/swamp felines.

5) Champsosaurus

6) Tylosaurus pembinensis

7) Tyrannosaurus rex Just to make it clear, it has feathers but they are so thin and small they dont render well

8) Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus): I did this because it is a wonderful bird, some time ago at 10 years old my family had had and even raised some generations of these small birds

9) Yi qi

10) Quetzalcoatlus sp.

11) Broad-billed hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris)

12) Spinosaurus Before somebody try to start discussing about the lip topic I clarify this is experimental and speculative intent as I've done with another drawing of what it would look like if it had oral tissue around it, pretty much based on the Pike conger eels.

13) Lambeosaurus magnicristatu

14) Dimorphodon

15) Skorpiovenator

16) Deinocheirus

17) Citipati sp. Based from the good unnamed specimen MPC-D 100/42

18) Darwinopterus Originally it was supposed to be a Pterodactylus, however I had mistaken reconstruction of the skull being in fact this sketch based on a Wukongopterid. Coloracion is an "easter egg" of a pal suggestion quite fond of this group of flying animals.

19) Allosaurus fragilis

20) Euoplocephalus

21) Hypsilophodon

22) Tanystropheus

23) Dilophosaurus

24) Tuatara (Sphenodon)

25) Giraffatitan

26) Erythrosuchus

27) Scleromochlus

28) Rutiodon

29) Chasmosaurus kaiseni

30) Green iguana (Iguana iguana) This would be the first animal in the whole parade that I painted scales, after I tried only to use a spray brush that did not work out the way I wanted to, I just made the base picture dark tone and start with a light color to paint the individual scales, I feel good in how this it ended up being.

31) Pelagornis

32) Green Tree Python (Morelia viridis)

33) Pliosaurus kevani

34) Henodus

35) Diplodocus

36) Ophthalmosaurus

37) Pteranodon longiceps

38) Stagonolepis

39) Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis)

40) Anurognathus

41) Mexican mole lizard (Bipes biporus)

42) Silesaurus

43) Petrolacosaurus

44) Shringasaurus

45) Hyperodapedon

46) Teyujagua

47) Plesiosaurus dolichodeirus

Diamond Firetails (Stagonopleura guttata) rank pretty high in terms of awesome bird names. I’m pretty sure they’re secretly dragons.

Firetails also have their own ranking system. When searching for a mate, male firetails are looking for females that rank high in the social order. These females tend to get more food, which can mean that her offspring will do better. To show off their status, high-ranking female firetails have more white spots on their flanks, giving an easy signal to potential mates.

Normally, we see this kind of coded coloring on the males of a bird species. The ladies are the ones showing off in this species!

So wonderful to know that artworks are still being appreciated at such uncertain times! So delighted to get the news yesterday that these little birds have found their new forever home and will be flying off to Perth soon... I want to acknowledge @christatephotography for your generosity with the most delightful references of the Red-eared Firetail (Stagonopleura oculata) and rusty objects. #finches#birds#birdsoftheworld #wildlifeartist #stilllife #stilllifepainting #galleryartist #nature #acrylicpainting #acrylicart #acrylic #nature #littlebirds ebirds #naturesbeauty#greenapples #conservationartist #apples#enamel #enamelbowl #vintageenamel #bowls #instabirds #instaart #instaartist #australianartist #westaustralia #localartist #dunsboroughartist #ilovebirds#bird_lovers (at Dunsborough, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAuTDd9gsch/?igshid=12tl2svkx06ts
