2016 #Sciart Tweetstorm Day 2: Some sketchy things.

Recently, paleoart was mashed up with lasers ("8 o'clock, day one!"). This has been done before. And again. And it will likely happen again and again.

2016 #Sciart Tweetstorm Day 2: Wednesday Works in Progress

More entries for the #Sciart #Tweetstorm - three works in progress for Wednesday.

First up is a lone Nanuqsaurus that will be used in a few ideas and projects I have on the back burner. Secondly, a layout for a piece depicting the paleoenvironment of Alaska's North Slope during the Late Cretaceous period, with a pint-sized tyrant realizing he blundered into the wrong part of the Colville River delta. Last, a pair of azhdarchid pterosaurs pause for a drink in Denali, leaving their footprints along the side of a stream.

This is an intermediate state wherein I block out the areas to be converted to vector. The colors are to keep me from being confused when I zoom in; I don't want gaps in some areas, nor much overlap in others. Proper colors will be applied after it's vectorized in Illustrator.

Last year, the authors of the Symbiartic blog on ScientificAmerican.com -- Glendon Mellow, Kalliopi Monoyios, and Katie McKissick -- summoned an epic storm of amazing and informative scientific artwork on Twitter with the
