How about including bit of present and bit of past inside
same frame? Not so clear, right? Here's the thing, a creative and talented soul
called Roman Uchytel creates wonderful illustrations of extinct prehistoric
animals and their present relatives, giving us a more insight of changes in quaternary period. Sounds interesting, isn't it
sawfeed fellows? Come, let’s have a glance how animal ancestors look like and
how their descendants looks like now, at once.

Roman’s most illustrations are Pleistocene era animals, in other words ice age mega-faunas. This glacial period started 2.58 million years ago and lasted till 11.5 years ago. When it comes to end of this ice age, almost all mega-faunas were vanished from the earth. It's yet to explain why such enormous creatures, who survived even in the hard ice age, vanished when earth starts becoming greeny. Scientists presume that they couldn't hang on in the continuous weather change and ultimate transformation of ecological system.
Anyway when it comes to artist, he has done a pretty good job. The illustrations show us size comparison of those plus size extinct animals together with their present relatives in a really creative way.
He draws based on information. Studying ancient creatures lived on earth was his hobby since childhood and that's what helped to create such outstanding pictures in addition to his knowledge of Photoshop and his artistic abilities.
When he was a teenager he really excited about extinct animals and reads a lot of prehistoric literature. Later his hobby was to draw them studying their skeleton. He has even published a book already and you can find it here.
Now, He's up to another awesome work with his wife Alexandra, who is a great writer, which also related to prehistoric animals. That dream is to publish a book of prehistories, in another words series of pre historic fairy tales. Let's wish him luck with all his creative plans.
