My latest artfight attack on @/grellgorino (I dont think they are on tumblr)
Trying to ressurrect my ability to do digital realism, got tired and used an old photo of mine for the background.
Character's name is Moxxie, he's a Utahraptor :)
Artfight attack on boo_beep_ (you can check them out here!)
Character is Isaac, an icthyovenator
Materials: Watercolour, water soluble wax pastels, white india ink and pencil on watercolour paper.
Extra: want to be featured in a group or mass attack by me? Here's a form so I can gather up some characters for it :)
Haven't been able to do much legitimate paleoart lately, but here are some dinosaur characters ive drawn for art fight this month :)
most of the characters do not belong to me, so here we go
1: Isaac (green ichthyovenator) owned by boo_beep_
2: gum (ceratosaurus/gecko hybrid, brown, segmented tail) owned by mika
3: Bones & fam (blue(ish) acrocanthosaurus, 4 of them) owned by ember_newcomer
4: velleity (white + grey nanuqsaurus) owned by CallMeFives
5: my own oc! Kana'hi (brown irritator)
6: birchwing & nyx (white and purple deinonychus, purple microraptor) owned by RunningWindArt

8: Brego (blue styracosaurus) owned by FantasyArtistry
9: willow (beige utahraptor) owned by Yarashep
hehehe going to the Royal Tyrell Museum again in August, and I am boiling over with an idea
So I've been to the Royal Tyrell 3 times already before this, it is such an amazing museum :,) but this time I want to work on some paleoart if I can
So the plan is to just go around and reconstruct the dinosaurs as they are mounted in the museum, and i think that will be really fun as I usually go off of 2D skeletal drawings as a reference for accuracy, so this’ll be like drawing my dinosaur models… just, skinned and de-meat-ifyed (?)
If anyone a specific Canadian dinosaur or maybe Montana-area ones as well (I think Tyrell has a few) let me know and I can keep an eye out for them :) and hopefully sneak in a little doodle!
*cronch*
ALRIGHT EVERYONE ITS HITLIST TIME
we head out for the city thurs, and I'll be at the museum sat & sun I think? So here's some of my "targets" to draw:
-Black beauty (T. rex) and the Dinosaur Hall Tyrannosaurus
-Borealopelta
-Oryctodromeus (if they have one, this was a request, I'll try my best to look for it :)
-The allo and campto in the picture
-Any ornithomimid
-Any ceratopsian
Should I try drawing one of the mammals there? I've never actually tried reconstructing one before (booooo me)
If anyone wants pings for when I post the art from the mounts, let me know in the comments :D
HYPEE HYPE I LOVE DRUMHELLER

Completely forgot to post this, but here's the final painting of Dromaeosaurus I finished back in June from my project "Colours of the Lost World: Reconstructing Cretaceous Alberta".
ooor you can just call it my Cretaceous Alberta project. I'm basically just making a pile of random art of Alberta (canada) 's paleofauna and flora
I'll probably post up my process pretty soon, so keep an eye out for that if you're interested :)
this was also a project I started within last years art class, so I'll post the rest of the year-end art show display pieces I made for this project :) as I live so close and Alberta's dinosaurs are one of my most common subjects, I'll definitely be continuing this series. let me know what you'd like to see next, either in the comments or my asks!
Process shots of my latest acrylic painting, as promised!
The next acrylic addition to my Cretaceous Alberta series is already under way (a pair of baby styracosaurus), but there will definitely be a ton of watercolours along the way :)
+ heading out to Drumheller to visit the Royal Tyrell Museum in a day for the 4th time (listen, it's the best museum ok?) and I'll be spending ~9 hrs there this time to draw the mounts. That'll def add a lot to my Cretaceous Alberta collection. Let me know if there's a specific species you'd like me to look out for to draw there :D
Paleoart Sketching at the Royal Tyrell Museum
I promise I’ll get better photos eventually, but here’s a quick dump from my trip to drumheller! Visited the museum for some amount of hours over two days so I could sketch the mounts, all of these are done on watercolour paper so hopefully when I next post about them, they’ll be painted up and pretty :)
What museum do you guys recommend to go to next? (At least, in North America)
Hopefully going back for visit number 6 next year! (I’m so greedy, I need to go back again and again)
Young Gorgosaurus libratus, death pose.
more under cut
Dromaeosaurus albertensis I believe, I gave it some strange butt plumage there but oh well
Black beauty (Tyrannosaurus rex) had a nice little chat with a photographer while drawing this one, we were both struggling to perform our arts with the massive crowd ;-; luckily day two was a lot less busy, I went first thing in the morning rather then midday.
Ornithomimus brevitertius, as to which the species Google refused to elaborate whether it’s synonymous with a different dinosaur species or genus so to this day I am unsure if it is a valid radon :,D regardless, this was probably my favourite sketch, working on painting it rn
I don’t remember the tag on this one, gonna guess it was a type of corythosaurus?
I’ll do some extra photo dumping from the museum later :)
alright you guys, the first sketch dump from the museum is here >:D

[introduction]
hello, and welcome to my blog!
I am firestorm_shiba, you can also call me Fig (not my real name, but it’s time I grab myself a cool internet nickname…) or G :)
decided I should make a little(ish) introduction post, so here we go!
[quick summary of my blog]
I post a lot of dinosaurs + paleoart, but in the future I hope to include some more of my hobbies, interests and just little life things along the way! That may include lots of fantasy stuff, such as D&D, character design, and plenty of dragons, and I’ll likely start posting some of my fandom-related art stuff such as fanart of the Legend of Zelda, HotD/GoT, Wings of Fire, and the Witcher.
Maybe some little craft posts, and little random gremlin-y things
page tagging quick search:
my post = posts by me. Not much else to say. If I make a long bit of writing or add some art to a reblog, it may end up with this tag as well.
my art = again, not much else to say. Use this tag to quickly filter out reblogs and my non-art related posts from my blog :)
Cretaceous Alberta = art pieces, info and announcements regarding my Colours of the Lost World: Reconstructing Cretaceous Alberta project.
here's a bit about me + my page
Name: firestorm_shiba, Fig, or G, whatever you like
I am a Canadian artist, currently in high school but planning to pursue a degree in paleontology!
some of my interests are: Paleontology, fantasy, dragons & fictional creatures, bugs & insects, nature and all her random crunchy stuff, art, science, books, legend of zelda, and so on.
some of my hobbies: drawing of course, video games, dancing, insect pinning, writing & reading
have a question, art request or anything of the sort? Let me know in my comments, my asks, or shoot me a message! I love to hear from you guys :)
I also have a ko-fi shop (I'm currently unable to receive payments through there so if you would like to buy a sticker or product, please let me know and I can work out PayPal instead. You can still buy stuff off my ko-fi and I will still send it to you, but I won't be able to receive the payments from there for a bit (stripe and TD.... please just work with me I want the money I worked hard for ;-;)
Links and more under cut!
More fun stuff coming soon, hopefully!
I love this silly little guy
Asked my mum which dinosaur to draw and she picked the absolute icon, T-Rex
I’m so happy with all the love my Silly little guy got 💛. He got so much love that he has now found a special companion to be extra silly with.
The last day of summer is devoted to July's work. I think my drawing skill has grown during the whole month of continuous drawing.
All the dinosaur names are in order in the hashtags.
Deinocheirus family They're like swans!!!
