I am taking requests now.


My artforms and tools of trade are:


1), Traditional 'oil painting' on canvas or board.


2), Traditional pencil/pen or color pencil 'drawing'.


3), To digitally add colors to traditional monochrome drawings(still haven't yet tried this!).



Those are and eternally will be, my chosen artforms. I regard all three as 'equally important' and I'll do them seperately but without letting myself focus on only one thing.


I'll do mammal paleontology art, figure and animal art, masterpiece reproductions, portraiture, still life & fantasy paintgings.


My top 3 favorite artists are: Diego Velazquez, Lucien Freud and Takehiko Inoue.



I have recently figured out the correct way of scanning higher resolutioned images and am going to scan most of earlier works through this new scanning.

Hope they'll turn out better.


By the way, I 've long badly wanted to color some of my works, using nice digital illustration tools!!!

Nowadays a number of good friends on this site, even devoted traditional artists, seem to be adding digital painting effects to their technical recipes or even completely switching to the art form.

I'm interested in the media but completely novcice at and I don't know much about it.

What I'd like to do is not the digital painting from scratch but to first create my usual traditional monochrome drawing and then add to it, colors and some more effects digitally to enhance realism etc.

Would somebody be kind enough to teach me how to, or tell me ideal softwares for the purpose?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!


Best regards,

The phylogeny and evolution of 'the Pachycrocuta lineage' : Is the Brown Hyena a part of Pachycrocuta? Recent advancement of morphometric analysis from a multivariate and statistical perspective, due in part to the addition of new fossil materials, greatly helped update the phylogenetic classification of Quaternary hyaenids. There has been consensus that the direct ancestor of Pachycrocuta brevirostris (Giant Short-faced Hyena) was Pliocrocuta perrieri, a widely distributed, medium sized bone-crushing hyena during the Pliocene of the Old world. Pliocrocuta perrieri on the other hand, was morphologically also similar to the modern Brown Hyena(Parahyaena bruunea), even though the interpretation on the evolutionary link between these two forms has varied depending on authors. As you may already know, Pérez-Claros (2024) recently illustrates the ancestor-descendant relationship between P. perrieri, the Brown Hyena and Pachycrocuta species in general.

The Missing link in the Phylogeny of Scimitar toothed cats (Machairodontini) : Who's the ancestor of Homotherium? Recently, phylogenetic studies on scimitar toothed cats have attracted much attention among paleontology world, with discoveries of a series of new taxa from Africa and China. In the latest phylogeny, scimitar toothed cats are grouped under the tribe Machairodontini (formerly Homotherini) with genera Machairodus and Nimravides (the middle to late Miocene) at its base and the three Pleistocene taxa (Homotherium, Xenosmilus and Ischyrosmilus) forming a monophyletic sub-tribe 'Homotheriina'. Morphological and chronological gap separating the Mio-Pliocene Amphimachairodus and the Plio-Pleistocene Homotherium is large, and it is not yet definitively clear when or from which lineage homotherines were derived. However, additional new materials and advanced morphological analysis in recent years have gradually helped solve this taxonomic conundrum. All images and text by

In my next project, I'll go back to my fav epoch, the Miocene and mainly about the carnivores of that era. The next will be about some felids! This is going to be really exciting stuff.

Stay tuned please, thank you.

Happy New Year, wish you all my DA friends a happy, prosperous, peaceful and art-filled new year, 2023. 2023 will be the year of the rabbit in Asiatic zodiak.


Thanks again for being interested and continuing to visit my gallery all these years, I can't thank you all enough.


I'll soon upload the illustration of the Mid-Pleistocene Eurasian fauna that includes some of the most interesting prehistoric animals.


I'm now having a slight difficulty adjusting some of these morphologies, nonetheless will upload the picture within three days or so. Thank you, and stay tuned please.

Forgive me for this inactivity folks, but! I'll try to be more active during the coming months, I have so many interesting paleo-art ideas to be realized!

Next up:

Some hyenas, ancient Panthera, giant bears and Battle Beyond Epochs : Perissodactyls complete version. And then return to some dinosaurs

... and more!

Please do stay tuned!

Arigato-ne, thank you.

Wow, 26 more watchers to reach the 1K mark.

Thank you all so much, for your support and interest in my gallery during all these years!! I really couldn't thank you enough.


I'll soon upload a couple more paleoart works.

So is Machairodus horribilis an Amphimachairodus, is it still Machairodus, or a different genera altogether?

The latest study on Machairodus taxonomy is of Geraads et al.(2020) in which the authors exclude the validity of Amphimachairodus. Assuming that is correct, then horribilis, giganteus and other late Miocene forms would be sunk back into Machairodus.


Still, differences between these derived late forms and aphanistus were clearly inter-species level, according to the same authors.


I believe we need to hear counterarguments if any, from pro Amphimachairodus researchers.

Nice paleo art, real vivid. Reminds of the Walking With Beasts docuseries.
