Chilean artist Seba Naranjo is best known for his graphics works and children’s illustration, but lately, he decided to mix things up a bit and delved into paper art.

For his paper creations, Naranjo found inspiration in the prehistoric period. He creates impressive 3D paper figurines of dinosaurs as part of his ongoing series titled Khartosauria.

His goal is to make papercraft models depicting anatomically correct dinosaurs while representing at least three species for each known dinosaur clade. This, however, might take a while because Naranjo wants to make sure everything turns out perfect and spends up to 20 hours a week working on his models.

Check out some of his works below.

Otra de hace algunos meses atrás. Styracosaurus Albertinensis (lagarto con pinchos). Este primo del Triceratops era más pequeño y ágil, vivía en manada y se cree que su corona de cuernos servía para proteger de una posible mordedura desde arriba. ¡Muy útil si tienes que convivir con grandes carnívoros! Uno de mis dinosaurios favoritos 🔥 // Throwback from a couple of months ago. Finished model of Styracosaurus albertinensis (spiked lizard). This was the smaller, nimbler cousin of Triceratops, lived in herds, and its crown of spikes guarded its neck from attacks coming from above. Very useful indeed if you have to share your habitat with big carnivores! This is one of my favorite dinosaurs 🤘🏽 . #paleoarte #paleoart #jurassicpark #papercraft #pepakura #blender #blender3d #paperart #sculpture #reconstruction #paleoarte #dinosaurio #dinosaur #escultura #papel #cuernos #hechoamano #hechoenchile #design #creaturedesign #mesozoic #cretacico #lorochanchodragon
