Swamp Lycaenops

Description

For this paleoart work, I’ve depicted a Lycaenops stalking through a shallow wetland. I couldn’t really find much on the habitat of the ancient therapsid. After all, this is from a time before the dinosaurs. So, I’ve used a bit of artistic license and placed this one in a fun environment with lots of mist and water. With long legs for wading and sharp teeth, I suppose he could have been a passable fisherman.

The model is by Dinoraul. I posed him using Poser, then imported him into Vue where I constructed the rest of the scene. Final rendering was done in Vue and took about 24 hours. Post production was done using Gimp.

Awesome art. Gorgonopsids are awesome and I love how you used a 3d model depicted with fur. Can you please do more art like this with permian animals, Do one with a pack of lycaenops hunting at night, that would be a good idea because gorgonopsids may have been nocturnal.
