That's me in a nutshell.

[@vlahosabadin4323]

Carcharodon Megalodon LOL

[@harlequincat]

Mind blown. I am an artist, and was asked to draw a Tyrannosaurus Rex. So for a sketch I drew the T-Rex as I had remembered it, from when I was a kid in the eighties and nineties, and then when I did some research I discovered allot has changed... The work I see here is beautiful, I am now wandering what my client expects of me. He saw my toy T-Rex from Jurassic Park. The artist in me is quite intrigued with the bird like versions that are apparently the most recent scientific depictions. I think I am going to make a few more drawings and ask him which one he likes best. I love what I have seen so far on your channel, thanks for introducing me to a whole new world. Sincerely MEAF

[@Birdstangg]

I think you should consider talking about what dinosaurs could have sounded like when you get the chance to. I find it as a very interesting subject, its not talked about enough unfortunately.

[@dereknicholson3322]

Hunter Strait possibly a video on Hadrosaurs like Parasaurolophus of Muttaburrasaurus. i like to hear some speculation as to what dinosaurs might have sounded like

[@Birdstangg]

StupendousRex 65 I'm pretty sure t-rex sounded almost like a cassoway, just my thoughts. And Spinosaurus, since he was aquatic, could've sounded like a crocodillian.

[@dereknicholson3322]

the parasaurolophus sound simulation produced by Sandia Laboratories sounds pretty cool

[@obiwahndagobah9543]

Also Dinosaurs had no Syrinx, like birds have. The sounds were probably based on hissing, trumpeting, deep growling like from an alligator and infrasound

[@julianmuller1849]

My favorite paleo artist is definetly Zdenek Burian. His artworks took me back in the past to those lost worlds when i was a child...

[@davidlanda2324]

Zdenek Burian, one of the best if, not the best!

[@consonaadversapars]

[@mattpizza228]

i personal don't like emily willoughby much because she draws inaccurate dinosaur mouths. NOT EVERYTHING HAS A FUCKING BEAK!!!!!!!!! TRIGGGEEERRREEEDDD!!!!!!!!!!

[@CyFiM]

I have no friggin' clue what you're talking about. Aside from a single painting of a _Deinonychus_ with a small "proto-beak," all of her paravians have partially feathered faces with fleshy snouts covered in small tuberculate scales (where detail allows), which is consistent with the fossil record as it currently exists. Even the proto-beak, while unlikely given the evidence, is not totally outside the realm of speculation.

[@alecfoisy58]

Thanks for making this! I've seen a lot of the artwork around the internet, but never knew names of the artists. Finally I can enjoy more of their great work!

[@boomertank67]

Luis V. Rey and David Krentz are amazing Paleo-Artists. To be honest, I was suprised not to see either of these artists on your list, but nonetheless another good video you made. Keep up the good work!

[@jaxnean2663]

My favorites are: Charles Knight, Zdenek Burian, John Sibbick, John Conway, Raul Martin, Mauricio Anton, Julius Csotonyi, Gregory Paul, James Gurney and Douglas Henderson, I totally adore the pastels paintings of Henderson.

[@pikkuadi]

So beautiful! This is exactly what I needed. Gonna spend the week looking through their art.

[@garretthoward68]

Another great video! Raul Martin has always been my favorite paleoartist. His work inspired me to dabble in drawing dinosaurs myself.

[@LucaDeflorian222]

Olorotitan, Julio Lacerda, Davide Bonadonna, and Kana-hebi have at least to be mentioned IMHO.

[@faizakhalili3246]

[@Mati87]

I really like your list, I grew up admiring John Sibbick's art he's amazing I love his work in general, specially the way he paints super detailed skin patterns and the use of color and fog makes his dinosaurs feel real. Luis Rey is amazing too.

[@nathanielcochran2177]

Honestly I think Luis V. Rey deserved at least a mention on the list. His works are lively full of color and during the reign of Jurassic Park movie monsters showed dinosaurs as animals. Not to mentions his amazing sculptures. Not to put any of the deviant art down but I feel as though he could of made a better fit for 8, 7, or 6. Anyways the artists you did mention are still very talented.

[@bagos11]

hello trey i love your channel. keep up the good work

[@suhailnahhas8027]

I've seen many of these paleoartists on DA, and i love julius csotoni's work because of both his realistic interpretations and realistic color patterns and choices.

[@tubekulose]

I really liked most of these paintings and drawings exept for the works of two of the artists - I won't mention which ones! ;-) I'm a painter from Austria, so this was quite interesting for me. And I'm a big fan of your videos. So I really appreciated this combination! But there is one issue I have to cover. I hope you won't be angry with me, but I had to to roar with laughter about your German pronunciation. It's hilarious! You are wondering: "How do you pronounce that [Hyrotrioskjan]?" But whenever you are using German words or names I would have no idea what you were actually talking about, if it wasn't written down below. My whole life span wouldn't last to figure out what you meant with "Dschoschua Knuhb", if I hadn't read the actual name - Joschua Knüppe. I will try to transcribe the name pseudo-phonetically, so that a native English speaker gets a faint idea of how it should be pronounced. It won't work one-hundred per cent, but I'll give it a try. First of all: In German every single vowel written is vocalized aswell (diphtongs are different story), but you dropped the "e" at the end. Second: No German speaker will understand you, if you say "u" instead of "ü". Examples: "Blüten" means "blossoms", but "bluten" means "to bleed", "schwül" means "muggy/stuffy", but "schwul" means "gay/poofy" and so forth... The German "ü" is pronounced like a hybrid of "u" and "i/ee" but if you struggle with this sound (as most Englisch speakers do), go for "i/ee" So noone will misunderstand you! Third: The German "j" is always pronounced as the "y" in "yes/lawyer/yoga/...". The German "e" is pronounced as the "e" in "men/telephone/help/...". So "Joschua Knüppe" would sound somehow like "Yoshua Cnippe" [if you relinquish the correct "ü"-sound] By the way: "Csotonyi" is a Hungaran name, which I again wouldn't have recognized in my life, if I hadn't read it. I won't do another lesson about Hungarian pronunciation, as I've written this much already. So I just want to say: it's pronounced "Chottony" [first syllable stressed]. I hope you take my text with humor. I didn't mean to insult you at all. If you have any questions concerning German, Latin, Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Greek, Hungarian, Turkish,... pronunciation, don't hesitate to ask (No, I don't speak all of these languages. I myself learnt only three foreign languages at school, but I know the correct pronunciation of several ones). Best regards, Clemens

Yes YES- I KNEW Emily would be first! I suspected that as soon as I clicked on this video. She's honestly a big inspiration of mine. I aspire to become a partly paleoartist, and I doodle dinosaurs a lot. Whenever I draw dromaeosaurids I look a lot at her paintings and pretty often use them as references.

[@jurassicwanderer1111]

I know it's art and hence opinion, but any list without Zdeněk Burian is just not a list worth compiling. Not only was he not in the top three, but not even an honorable mention? If you're not familiar with his work you definitely need to google it.

[@trippharris5334]

All of the art featured was absolutely beautiful. A lot of the artists listed influence me a lot, despite some inaccuracies or outdated reconstructions. I'm trying out paleoart as well, but I'm not that good and they're usually only sketches, [usually I draw a really good face and I'm scared that I'll ruin it if try to draw the body]. I really want to get into painting dinosaurs though, because it sounds fun and I feel like it'll do the animals more justice. Anyways, thank you for making this video! Even if it is a little old.

(2) Comparing artwork is not a simple task, and there are many judges as there people willing to judge, but hey!, this is your list, and if anyone wants something different, let him/her do his/her own list! (3) This being said: WHERE THE HECK IS THE GREAT WILLIAM STOUT???!!! Just venting some frustration for not seeing him here... So please, don't let him out of your next list, OK?

[@Titanic_401]

I might sound like an asshole, but I hate it when people call artists talented. They are skilled because drawing and painting is not a talent, but a skill. Anybody can learn to paint or draw over a period of time. There are artist that were born with natural talent, but most artists are skilled and learned to draw or paint over a period of time with a lot of hard work.

[@amandadube156]

that's a very wise thing to say. truer words have perhaps never been spoken. I'm a physicist & I hate it when people say, "wow, you must be a genius!" It's not a compliment: it's a discredit to the years I spent struggling because I'm an average person with an average intellect who is simply passionate about science. imho, people who throw around such compliments are really just stroking their own ego. they want to do what you can, but they aren't willing to put in the effort & thus, tell themselves that you were just born lucky rather than admit to their own lack of discipline. pure, unadulterated bull shit!

[@iavv334]

Well, I think this comes down to a semantics game when all said and done. I think the word talent should be used to describe artists, because they can do something amazing, whether they learn it or are born with it, that the average person can't. No, I think it's people saying that someone is "gifted" is worse, because that doesn't leave any ambiguity to how the artist got their skill. Saying someone is gifted implies they were just handed a talent, not learn it over time.

[@DavidMartin-lj8yj]

This list seems more of a list about who is cool now. No William Stout, no James Gurney, no John Sibbick, No Zallinger, no Zdenek... I feel like some of these artists are not included because of the inaccuracies of their art (considered accurate for their time). The reason I say that is because you keep mentioning how these artists depict the animals accurately or in ground breaking ways when in fact these older artists were doing the exact same thing for their time. These older artist I guarantee you probably have art that is more widely recognizable than most of the artists on this list. Im not trying to take away from what the modern artists have accomplished but there is a 100% chance that some day their art is also going to be considered inaccurate as new discoveries are made. Again... not trying to take away from the artists on this list... just feel like the ones who paved the way are not being recognized because of a perception in what is more scientifically accurate by todays standard not really on their true influence on paleo art.

Looked at my sub box and saw you had a new vid, ..... then I put on my happy face.

I might be crazy, but is the music at the end of the video a part of "Lapti Nek"? (The song that Jabbas Band played in the original version of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi)

I don't know how well know he is outside europe, but around my region, Zdenek Burian (Czech painter and paleoartist) was THE most influental artist from the 30's until the 60's. His art reseble Knight's paintings in many ways, but Burian had a super-convincing, near photorealistic style which made all these beasts even more beleivable.
