#PortfolioDay
Hi, I am Gabriel, and I am a paleaortist and scientific illustrator. Here are a few examples of my work depicting some long extinct friends 😊.

Finally got around to reconstruct the recently described Wulong bohaiensis, a Microraptorian Dromaeosaurid from Early Cretaceous China. Here I reconstructed a speculative adult, the holotype (and only specimen) of this taxon is a juvenile/subadult

We still have a few more catalog shots to catch up on for the Beasts of the Mesozoic: Tyrannosaur Series wave 2. Here's the Proceratosaurus bradleyi with background art by Gabriel Ugueto!

I did this a while back but had not shared it yet. Medium and large terrestrial mammals (10 kg or more) of northern South America 20-10,500 years ago! So much megafauna lost so recently! Species in red went extinct.
A new study reveals that an egg-laying species of worm-like amphibian nourishes its young with a lipid-rich, milk-like substance.
The findings report previously unobserved behavior and offer new insight into the species’ parental care and communication.

Day 1. A pair of Dimetrodon fight over a Diplocaulus that the individual on the right has dragged out of the water. Permian of North America. The first 6 days of Inktober I will be sketching Permian tetrapods

Happy Winter Solstice!
Here is a quick study of Cryolophosaurus, a crested theropod from the early Jurassic of Antarctica, which although MUCH warmer than today it was still quite a cool place back then
A small group of the gigantic Lilstock ichthyosaur swim near the coast of Late Triassic Europe. This taxon is here reconstructed as a Shastasaurid. Numerous pterosaurs flying around
Well, I have finally given the green light to share that I am involved in this wonderful project! Working on Prehistoric Planet was an truly amazing experience and I can’t wait for you to see all that is to come! SO MANY MANY COOL THINGS!
No, it is not a weird bird-dragon, or a gargoyle but the Scansoriopterygid dinosaur Yi qi
These are some quick studies of this wonderful theropod that lived during the Late Jurassic in Asia
A male Parasaurolophus resting while a small flock of birds flies by and use him as a perching spot. This concept illustration was done following the suggestion of patron James Pascoe.
There were several species of Moa, of various sizes, all of which had become extinct by the mid 1400s. Here are three of them, top to bottom: Dinornis robustus, Emeus crassus and Anomalopteryx didiformis
A juvenile Sciurumimus checks out a dead, beached Dakosaurus in a Late Jurassic beach in Germany (at the time an archipelago formed by numerous islands). This is an illustration of my book (that I’m still prpearing) and my entry for today’s

Two examples of sail-backed archosaurs:
Arizonasaurus (top) a Ctenosauricid pseudosuchian from the Middle Triassic of North America and the famous Spinosaurus (bottom), a Spinosaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Africa
Dromaeosaurids remain some of my favorite non-avian dinosaurs to reconstruct. So here you have some Dromaeosaurids for today’s

Utahraptor, Wulong, Deinonychus and Sinornithosaurus

The amount of megafauna which was lost in the Americas at the end of the Pleistocene was Immense. Here are just the sloths that went extinct between 17,000-4,500 years ago! 6 families, at least 22 genera and about 32 species!!! THINK ABOUT THAT!
This is still a WIP
Today is World Giraffe Day so I thought it would be appropriate to do some quick studies on a really cool extinct giraffid, the huge Sivatherium giganteum
Battle of the armored beasts. The huge crocodile-relative Barinasuchus is trying to find a way to tackle the glyptodont Boreostemma in Miocene northern South America
Day 5 of my October ink-marker sketches
A group of Saurornitholestes inspect a dead Tylosaurus that washed up on the beach after a recent storm. Late Cretaceous of North America
Day 18 of my Ink-Marker Sketches
Quick study of the Alvarezsaurid Linhenykus monodactylus. The single clawed tiny arms would have been mostly or completely hidden within the plumage most of the time
A male Yuanchuavis (described a couple of days ago) displays on the crest of a sleepy Sinotyrannus, while they are suddenly interrupted by a flock of tiny young Sinopterus (Nemicolopterus). Early morning Early Cretaceous of Asia.

2 hr and a half concept illustration.
Tetrapods have tried to fly or glide NUMEROUS times. Even in dinosaurs it seems to have arisen several separated times within maniraptorans. Here are SOME examples of extinct and extinct gliders and flyers. Continuing with this series of sketches

I am almost done with this Proceratosaurus piece. I am thinking about lowering the ginkgo branch in the foreground a bit and there are details to refine. It’s not been easy to work on this piece because I am working on several difficult pieces at the same time right now
#paleoart
Continuing with my reconstructions of dinosaurs that will appear in Jurassic World Dominion, here is Gallimimus bullatus, one of the largest Ornithomimosaurs
Today is International Tiger Day so here are some studies of the WRONGLY named Saber-toothed Tiger Smilodon populator from South America that went extinct just about 11,000 years ago
