Not sure how I missed this thread for so long, Great work, I like your drawing style and colour splashes you use on head crests/frills etc. I may have missed this along the line but what do you draw and colour with? pencil/Ink ?

I think he does a lot of the coloring on the computer!

I thought that may have been the case, Makes my pencil coloured drawings look like krap.

Glad you like it guys. I think the Concavenator & Peleca is the one that came better out of all these so no wonde you like it the most. And Gryph, you're right about the backgrounds, too bad I still can't draw a complex landscape to save my life.

Thanks! I paint my stuff with Photoshop CS5 and a tablet, but I usually make the preliminar sketch with a normal pencil and then scan it. Old habits die hard, I guess. 


I also have plenty of WIPs and sketchy stuff around, for example..


A Velociraptor:




Utahraptor and Cedarosaurus silliness:




How to eat a Triceratops, by chef T. Rex:




Adasaurus (probably one of those that will never see the light):




And now pure pencil sketches...


Utahraptor, Mei Long and Baryonyx:




Enthusiastic Deinonychus scavenging a tenontosaur:





Hmm, probably too many for a single post...

I really like that WIP velociraptor! 

[Balaur]

All of those are awesome! My favourite though is the Adasaurus and the Conavenator/Pelecanimimus chase! 

[Arioch]

Thanks both!


Here's a scene Ive been working on this weekend. A Kosmoceratops and a Talos (plus some generic enantiornithes) minding their own business while the sun sets in Laramidia.

A new collab work:Achillobator giganticus. Lineart provided by deviant paleoartist pilsator, that I had the pleasure to paint.

[Patrx]

Nicely done! I like the details in the feet, very realistic.

Thanks! this is the original fantastic lineart for all its worth: http://pilsator.deviantart.com/art/See-My-Chariot-Run-To-Your-Ships-341972852

A couple of sketchy Tyrannosauroids for a future scale chart...Daspletosaurus and Tarbosaurus:






And azdarchid  scavenging Velociraptor:
