Franz Anthony
Plates of Ancient Life

Un-commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
Illustrations of ancient life are dominated by dinosaurs, while other creatures are often portrayed as dull brown or black critters. Through the project, I aim to bring various extinct animals back to life in full color.

How was the illustration used:
Sold as posters and t-shirts

How did you make this work:
By observing colors of living animals and how they affect each creature's lifestyles, I applied the same principle to said fossil creatures.
