Today for #ArtAdventCalendar I have some ancient insects that we only know of from fossils and amber. I based the coloring on modern insects.

Angimorella burmitina is a beetle found trapped in amber and covered in pollen grains, pushing back our understanding of insect pollination by nearly 50 million years!

Palaeovespa florissantia is one of the earliest known wasps, from an absolutely gorgeous fossil found in my home state of Colorado.

The last one is an extinct frog legged beetle called Pulchritudo attenboroughi, or Attenborough's Beauty. It also comes from a gorgeous fossil found in Colorado, not far from where I used to live!

Just me rotating a mysterious fossil skull like it's a priceless ancient potato.
Can you guess which creature this is? (Hint: it’s got a beak you wouldn’t want to argue with.)
Every replica in the shop starts here; just me, ZBrush, and way too much coffee.

Own a piece of prehistory, handmade from sketch to skull:

A lot of people like to call my usual artstyle #pointilism, but I would say that is incorrect. Pointilism makes explicit use of color, whereas I only draw in b&w, so it is more accurate to call it #stippling.

So, here‘s my actual first attempt at pointilism. I tried to draw Baculites, a Late #Cretaceous genus of #ammonite which is notable for briefly surviving past the K-Pg impact.
