In these we hope to cover all things Palaeo-Art that happened during the month. Whether this be sharing some of the great palaeo-art that gets posted on the web everyday to the big scientific breakthroughs and discoveries that can help make your restorations all the more accurate and believable.`
As this is meant as simply a gathering place for such information (and thus making so you do not have to hunt all these separate elements on your own) we are not solely responsible for selecting what gets posted here. In fact rather the opposite.
`
We are wanting any and all our readers to keep their eyes open on the web for palaeo-art content worthy of these posts. Send us the link (even without more then that... we'll follow it up) either in the comment section of any of our posts or email it to us at artevolved@gmail.com
So come join us for this first month of coverage.
In this section we are showcasing the many great palaeo-art pieces that get posted on the web each month. These can come from any source blog, website, flickr, deviantART, Renderocity, and or any other art hosting forum on the web. So if you see something art and prehistoric let us know so we can share it with the world!This month's include...
Nima shares not only the making of this glorious piece, but also shares the importance of meeting art submission deadlines!
Mo continues his A to Z art tour of the wildlife of the United Kingdom.
An unidentified (on flickr anyways) Dromaeosaurid launches itself at us the view, in this piece by microraptor.
`
`
The very talented Felipe Alves Elias has these details Sauropod heads up on his blog.
Dananddna engages in some neat speculative evolution if the Anomalocaridids had never gone extinct with his Anomaloshark.
Novalecortar has some rather cute origami Dinosaurs (and other critters) up on flickr.
Renecyberdoc dedicates this great palaeo-landscape to the daughter of one of his online friends kids. lucky for us we can enjoy it too!
A herd of Styracosaurus come under attack by an Albertosaur in Dinoraul's latest Renderosity uploads.
Etrilobite has yet more of the weekly webcomic Walcott's Quarry. Be sure to catch up.
Lastly as if one weren't enough, Peter Bond created unleashed 5 new paints all on the same day!!!
This is a very exciting section, and one we hope to see expanded and to see more people share. Works in progress are a great chance for artists to get feedback on their work, and inversely for experts and technically knowledgeable people to help direct artists to creating better more accurate prehistoric restorations!`
Please try and stop by as many of these posts as you can, and let these artists know what you think of their work so far. Maybe you'll give them the key inspiration or foresight to create a new palaeo-art classic!
`
Also artists please not only keep posting these great insights into your creative process, but be sure to send us the links to them. For this section we're more then happy posting sequential links on the progress of your pieces. It would however be nice if we received these from you, as on our own we might not get it right...
`
David has some a very cool start to his Sauropod entry for our Novemeber gallery. Can't wait to see the finished thing here...
Our very own Flying Trilobite is currently in the midst of making this and other, well, flying trilobites. `
Art Evolved's Angie has this lovely CG Parasaurolophus in development. As if that weren't cool enough, she also has a Brachylophosaurus model in the works you can see in the same post!
Finally our resident Weapon of Mass Imagination has revealed some WIP's from a project he plans to chronicles more in detail here on ART Evolved! So be sure to take advantage of this sneak peek...
It can be hard getting references and information on creatures long extinct, so every bit helps. In this section we intend on collecting a month's more useful articles that include information relevant to artists. We're not as interested in keeping up with new species or the latest taxonomy, but rather aspects of behaviour and/or appearance of extinct organisms as these are what our art works are trying to capture.
Though not true palaeo-art, Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week shows us why it is important to get your proportions correct in restorations, otherwise to someone who knows your recreation could look as scary as this horse!
The Aquatic Amniote offers the beginning of a review of scientific restorations of Desmostylia.
Lastly we have this section to acknowledge and highlight any palaeo-art or artists who have been in the public eye for that month. We reserve this honour for such people and art that either appear on 5 or more blogs, appear at a palaeontologic institution, and or are included in a major press release.
The most popular palaeo-art piece making the rounds this month would easily have to be Todd Marshall's rendition of Raptorex. There is another version in which the larger Tyrannosaurus Rex looms over this its cutter(?) ancestor.
