Concavenator’s Paleoart

[WarrenJB]

Nice! One of my fave ceratopsians. I see you go for the 'no cheeks' look too.

[Concavenator]

Thank you! W @WarrenJB Yeah, I'm on the 'no cheeks' side, though to be fair, if I was on the 'cheeks' side I would have to look into how to depict them, not sure how to do that as of now. 

[Halichoeres]

This might be your best yet!

[Concavenator]

@Halichoeres Thank you! I'm happy with how it turned out.

Loving the scale work here

[Concavenator]

Deleted.

[Stegotyranno420]

I too love drawing them. They are just so much easier to draw than other dinosaurs.

Great sketch.

Allosaurus fragilis (Marsh, 1877)

Initially drawn from memory, then checked Hartman's 2012 skeletal and fixed it up a bit.



Styracosaurus albertensis (Lambe, 1913)

Based on GetAwayTrike's 2017 skeletal.

I don't know why, but I love drawing tyrannosaurs. 

Disregarding all the hype about tyrannosaurs (especially the tyrannosaur) and the subsequent backlash, there's just something aesthetically pleasing about them, especially the skulls.

Nice work! I particularly like all the detail on the Styracosaurus.

[Concavenator]

W @WarrenJB thank you!

I think it also helps they're pretty easy to draw for the most part.

[Halichoeres]

Those horns have clearly seen some action!

Those horns have clearly seen some action!

Indeed they have!

Dunkleosteus cf. terrelli (Newberry, 1873)

A Dunk I drew for @Stegotyranno420 . Based on Scott Hartman's 2021 skeletal (which doesn't indicate a concrete species, I'm guessing it's D.terrelli as it's the type species, but I'm using the cf. just in case). Colors mainly based off the oceanic whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus).

I'm fairly unfamiliar with fishes; it might not be super accurate, so I apologize beforehand. 

[Stegotyranno420]

Thanks, love the patterns on it

[Concavenator]

Diplodocus carnegii (Hatcher, 1901)

Based on Matt Dempsey's muscle anatomy study. Officially the first sauropod I've ever drawn. I just realized it has the same colour scheme as that Lambeosaurus I did before.  I guess I just like that colour scheme.

[Concavenator]

Deinocheirus mirificus (Osmólska & Roniewics, 1970)

Been wanting to draw a new Deinocheirus for a while (last time I drew one was in 2015; it's the one in the 1st pic). I based it on Scott Hartman's 2015 skeletal, and when it comes to the feathering, I mostly based it on the Saurian ornithomimid, with just two exceptions: I gave the upper part of the hump some ornamentary feathers, as regardless of the hump's function being display, fat storage, or both, I imagine having some kind of display structure there could play a role in courtship displays (I went with ostrich tail-like feathers as a reference to its classification as an ornithomimosaur  ) and I also gave it a little tuft of feathers on its head, reminiscent of several species of herons.

[Halichoeres]

Well, you've come a long way!

[Concavenator]

Thank you!

Yutyrannus huali (Xu et al., 2012)

Based on ZCDM V5000 from GetAwayTrike's skeletal, colors based on the BotM version.

I won't be drawing any more in a while after this.

[Halichoeres]

Really digging the color scheme on this one!

[Concavenator]

David Silva is the one to thank for that! The Steller's sea eagle fits Yutyrannus nicely.
