These are some of my illustrations from the reconstruction work I did on Camarasaurus grandis. Of all the animals I’ve worked on, this is my first sauropod. Reconstructing extinct animals requires a very specific methodology, which slows down the process, but the results are much more scientifically accurate.

I’ve been working on a few science fiction book covers lately, so I thought I’d share some of them here.
I really enjoy creating covers for sci-fi stories, especially when there’s room to play with strange worlds, futuristic technology, dystopian settings and that feeling of the unknown.
Here are a few examples of my work. If you’re an author looking for a cover for your next science fiction book, feel free to have a look at my portfolio or send me a message.

Hello everyone! Here I’m sharing my first illustration of creatures from Japanese mythology, in this case, the Jorōgumo.
The Jorōgumo is a yokai that can take the form of a beautiful woman, but is actually a spider spirit that lures and traps its victims.
Hello everyone! My name is Luca Mendieta and I’m an aspiring paleoartist… here is my illustration of two Ceratosaurus asicornis. I’m also attaching the information I included in this work.
The illustration shows a hypothetical courtship scene. In it, a male, with a more striking colouring, displays himself in front of a female with a much more subdued colouring. Both sexual dimorphism and the colouring used as a sexual call and the posture with the tail pointing up are behaviours typical of modern birds.
It is a theropod dinosaur, and therefore bipedal. It had a carnivorous diet, as its knife-shaped teeth demonstrate. It had three fingers on each front limb. According to the first discovered holotype of this species, USNM 4735, it measured between 5.3 and 5.69 metres long.
Its skull, about 55 cm long, has characteristic protuberances, one above the nasal bone and two others above each antorbital fenestra. It is thought that these horns could have been covered with keratin and, therefore, were longer when the animal was alive.

Ceratosaurus nasicornis
