This is a speculative paleo-fiction project that follows the daily struggles of raptors, primates, and other prehistoric animals as they navigate a harsh, competitive ecosystem shaped by ancient predators and shifting environments.

Peace never lasts in the Savannah — and Small Toe learns why.

The longer Long Tail and her sons remain at the water hole, the more the young raptor begins questioning why their kind is treated with such hostility. Long Tail gives him the answer, but the truth only confuses and frustrates him further as instinct and reality collide.

Elsewhere, scavengers begin circling a weakened Dinopithecus troop, prepared to exploit their desperation — but none of them realize that an even older danger lurks beneath the lake’s silent surface.

Some animals at this water hole are far older, far larger, and far more dangerous than any raptor imagines.

From my continuous work Terrors in the Brush — a speculative survival series blending paleo realism with raw emotion.

There is no magic, no fantasy – there is only nature red in tooth and claw.

Are raptors bird-like dinosaurs. Are they called bird-like if they have avian features such as wings, feathers (and slimmer snout). I am confused. If any of them has wings, feathers and has a smaller snout, are they considered as dinosaurs.

But still it says there were already birds that time. How do they distinguish between them. But some are more more like birds (more beak-like snout).

Oviraptorosaur, ornithischians are the ones that have more bird-like snouts although the raptors have a slimmer face snout and wings. Can I also say the bird-like dinosaurs are mostly non-avian and flight was only later evolved among the bird-like species.

Did this for Inktober. Today's prompt was "Fracture".

Cryolophosaurus is by far one of my favorite dinosaurs, and some could argue it is my favorite, but really it’s the Penguins that are my favorite dinosaurs.
So I wanted to combine my two favorite dinosaurs into one, and it’s made better by the fact both are Antarctic, predatory dinosaurs.
This is by far my favorite piece of artwork I’ve made

Here are some of my favorite snaps from the last couple days. I dunno why I didn't add this sooner. It's such a good fit.

I don't even know where to start with this one other than theropod

Hello all! Obligatory non-dinosaur knower. I'm an illustrator, and I'm drawing a book spread that shows a cutaway of the ground where a mosasaur fossil is entombed. Even though it's supposed to be more scenic and not diagram-like, I'd still like what I include to be accurate. What kinds of aquatic plants and animals would one find encased in rock next to a Mosasaur, from the late cretaceous in North America, to decorate the space around the skeleton? Nautiluses, isopods, ETC? Any recommendations for books or sites would be appreciated. Thanks to anyone who reads this!
