[Concavenator]

H @HD-man Really? That's weird. Do any of you folks, H @HD-man aside, have trouble seeing the pics I post?

P.S. Edited the Plateosaurus post with a link to @Stegotyranno420 's original post.

I see the Plateosaurus image.  And it's an impressive reconstruction, its colour complexity is remarkable.

As you may remember, PhP's Velociraptor "is the best, most beautiful Velociraptor I've ever seen" ( https://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=10177.msg321086#msg321086 ). I bring this up b/c the Badlands megathread features my favorite still from the entire series ( https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1897359824679252432.html ). Said still reminds me of Kuzim's "Low Poly Deinonychus reunion" (which, as you also may remember, is 1 "of my favorite eudromaeosaur artworks": https://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=10177.msg380382#msg380382 ):

Concavenator by @thesesametree

It looks cool, but I dislike half-feathered reconstructions.  Also, its legs look too short and its feet too big.  Concavenator is remarkably small-footed.

Another 1 of my favorite post-2020 Dilophosaurus is Nicholls's, which I mention in my Time review ( https://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=2210.msg382670#msg382670 ):

"The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time[...]commissioned me to colourise my 50 illustrations. "A place worth sitting" shows #Dilophosaurus sitting in the rain" ( https://bsky.app/profile/bobnichollsart.bsky.social/post/3llvwlqkqac2d ):

I also really like Steve Kirk's Ornitholestes, especially the cat-like spots. I've liked seeing said spots on small theropods since Lambert's DK Guide to Dinosaurs ( https://archive.ph/4o5bX ), but I think they're especially fitting on Ornitholestes:

Finally, a better-quality version ( https://chasmosaurs.com/2025/04/29/vintage-dinosaur-art-dinosaurs-all-shapes-and-sizes/ ):

By Julius Csotonyi.  It's so cool!

By John Conway.  I love it!  I think it would be perfect if the feathers extended onto its legs.

I'm pleased that since my last post about Scaphognathus crassirostris in this thread, I've found more great palaeoart of it!:

By Rudolf Hima.  Like the previous Rhamphorhynchus artwork, I think it would be perfect if the feathers extended onto its legs.

Always nice to see some good pterosaur art.

Those are my favorites of the pterosaurs you posted. I especially like Csotonyi's. The AMNH pterosaurs are by Raul Martin ( https://shop.amnh.org/pterosaur-poster ). A bit too shrink wrapped for my liking, but I digress.

Diplodocus & Allosaurus by John Sibbick

That's also 1 of my favorites: https://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=10177.msg327212#msg327212

Fixed it.

Ah yes exactly what I've come to expect from Sibbick.

It's good to see CoolioArt's "Jurassic Park With Scientifically Accurate Raptors" finally animated. Also good to know there's more where that came from:

"Deinonychus says thank you! + (info in description 👀)":

Is there a bigger & better-quality image of this Late Jurassic Morrison mural by Csotonyi? If not, no worries, I understand:

Wierums allosauruses are absolutely fantastic, but my favorite allosaurus art would be from William berry, called allosaurus chasing camptosaurus. At first I thought it's a modern paleoart. But upon more research, I found out it's actually from the 40's! Comparing it to other theropod artwork from the 40's and even till 80s, shows that it was really ahead of its time.
