Life restoration of Baryonyx by Andrey Atuchin

Andrey Atuchin (born September 10, 1980) is a Russian paleoartist, illustrator and biologist who focuses on artistic reconstructions of extinct animals.[1] He is known for his clean, detailed style reminiscent of classic National Geographic illustrations.[2] Atuchin has collaborated with paleontologists all over the world in illustrating new species for papers and press releases, such as the 2014 feathered dinosaur Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus,[3] as well as more recent discoveries including the pliosaur Luskhan itilensis, described in 2017,[4] and the 2018 ankylosaur dinosaur Akainacephalus johnsoni.[5]

Andrey won the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology's John J. Lanzendorf PaleoArt Prize in Scientific Illustration in 2020. [6]
