Can't wait to see more pictures! Also, I will post my Herrerasaurus soon, and I have just posted my Sinosaurus. Also, even though you are not using that sequence anymore, can you please post your Sinosaurus that you were going to use in the series? Also, expect to see my Heterodontosaurus soon :)!

I will probably post the Sinosaurus (even though I haven't drawn it yet) in my art page, not here though.

Are you goingto put some spikes on the Heterodontosaurus?

Also, expect a wacky Pisanosaurus soon.

I will probably just put quills on the Heterodontosaurus. However my Herrerasaurus mmight have spikes. Can't wait to see the Pisanosaurus (by the way, ScottHartman on deviantart has skeletals of Eoraptor and Pisanosaurus that you can use).

"The world's still the same. There's just less in it."

Balaur

Okay. Here are rhe descriptions of my creatures that I've drawn!

Concavenator - This animal has a large tail sail used to attract mates and intimidate rivals. He uses the quills likema porcupine, to protect him from attack and to avoid fighting with other carnivores. He prefers to hunt Iguanodon, and, if he sets up the right ambush, Pelecanimimus. They are also not shy to practice cannibalism.


Pelecanimimus - They have bright colours on the head, Wings and tail to display to mates. The eye sprs can also be used to distract or confuse predators and rivals. They also are master fishers, the ornithomosaur version of Baryonyx, but its feathers restrict it to stay dry. When eating a huge fish or a bunch of little ones, its throat will expans like a pelicans. It is notnused for display. They are usually found in scattered groups that will often seperate and find others ro join, but are scattered alone when fishing. They will also eat dinosaur babies and eggs, and carcasses.


Herrerasaurus - This is the largest dinosaur in the Triassic of Argentina. He is primarlyma carnivore, but will take a liking to planta occasionally. He looks chubby and slow, but is infact actually dwceptively fast and agile. He ambush animals like Eoraptor and Pisanosaurus, and will sometimes engage in long distance chases, which Pisanosaurus usually win. The yellow mark on thenface is a distimguishing feature. Males have these while females lack them. They are a prey item for Saurosuchus.


Probelesodon - They usually live in burrows, and live as a family, mating lair with young. The young hatch from fheir eggs, but are suckled milk. The adults will eat eggs, particularly Eoraptor eggs and young. They are in fact rhe biggest threat to baby dinosaurs or baby animals in general (almost) being the badass Repenomamus of the Triassic. Their burrows are frequnelty invaded by adult Eoraptor who kill the adults and then return the body to their family.

More pictures coming soon!

Here is my better pic of Concavenator. I have an iPad drawing app, so I drew in the lines to make a better outline. Also, it is not a white body, it is a light brown body, so yeah, I'll make i more noticable from now on. Here you go!



Concavenator

Pretty nice Concavenator! 
I like the colors you put on it! :)

Balaur

Thank you!

I am doing something very different for my Glacialisaurus piece. Instead of drawing it on paper, I found a skeletal of it on the internet, and then I am currently in the pain staking process of colouring it on my iPad. I also beefed up the silloute to not shrink wrap it. It is taking far long than usual, but It looks extremely cool right now. This is just a test to see what I can do on the iPad, and it turns out I can do a lot!

Occasionally the colours will go off the creature and i Have to erase that and then retrace the outline, which is still very hard, but except it either today or tommorow. (The head of the Glacialisaurus is by far the coolest design for my series so far)

Sounds cool! You know you can do the same thing for your Pisanosaurus (Scott Hartman has a skeletal of it). Can't wait to see the Glacialosaurus! :)

Waiting no more!



It was hard work and took me a few hours, but that's what I had. I probably won't do the same to Pisanosaurus, this was just a test.

Yutyrannus

Awesome! Also, when are you going to post the Pisanosaurus, you already said a while ago that you were going to post it soon?

"The world's still the same. There's just less in it."

Balaur

I did do a Pisanosaurus, but I didn't like how it turned out so I am redoing it and it should be up sometime during the weekend or Monday.

Yutyrannus

Okay, then. By the way you can expect to see Heterodontosaurus, Melanorasaurus, and Massaspondylus from me soon :).

So, in light of Age of Reptiles, I actually got a little bored of it and wanted to work a little on Age of Mammals. So, instead of making a new thread, I'll keep this thread to talk about the sequele to that. Like in Walking with Beasts, there is not an episode set in the Paleocene, but I can save that for a spin-off. So here it is, without the episode titles, just the formations and any synopsis I come up with it later on. Well, here we go...

#1 - Land of the Whales - This programme follows the mammals conquering an area that was left as a void after the great extinction: the water. This programme follows Pakicetus, Kutchicetus, and Ambulocetus. They, are the very first whales.

#2 - Lost Antarctica - This programme follows the life of a Anthropornis, as she attempts to raise her chick with her mate and protect them from the most dangerous Antarctic hazards: Dasornis, the bird with a 6 meter wingspan.

#3 - Haughton Formation - In this programme, we follow one of the earliest seals, Puijilia darwini, through an entire year, facing rival seals, and the harsh winters.

#4 - Ashfall Fossil Beds - In this episode, we follow a Barboroufelis, a sabre-toothed mammal, but not a cat, as he lives life, right before a massive volcanic eruption ruins everything.

#5 - Cradle of Humankind - Humans are unique among the animal kingdom. How we got here is the most extra ordinary of all the evolutionary stories. This episode follows two ape-men, Homo habilis, and Paranthropos boisei, through a year, to see which ape man will lead to us, and to avoid the most dangerous predators of all-time; the cats.

#6 - Ice Age Europe - This episode follows two of the most intimidating animals of the Ice Age: the a female cave bear that tries to care for her young and protect him and herself from the other intimidating animal of the Ice Age: the cave lion. And the winter has become so severe, that the cave lion is not just hunting the cubs, but the bear itself, leading to a clash of titans.

I actually have a harder time deciding which locations I wanted to depict than Age of Reptiles, because there are so many formations that have never been seen before, so I may cut out some good ones unfortunentaly...
I like the Cave Bear episode, but if you are not going to use the Flores Man episode can I? Also, when are you going to start posting pictures for Age of Mammals? I am quite keen to see the Cave Bear, Cave Lion, Barboroufelis, and Puijilia :)!

Balaur

Youre going to do sequel to your series? Also, yes, you can use Homo floresiensis as well.

Yes, I am going to do a sequel, it will be called After the Dinosaurs: Beasts of the Cenozoic and have 6 episodes each with 6 sequences. And thanks for letting me use your Flores Island story, I will also have a story about Arctotherium, the South American Short-Faced Bear.

"The world's still the same. There's just less in it."

Balaur

The hardest and definentally going to be the Neadnerthals, Paranthrophus, and Homo Habilis, as I can't draw people worth half a cent.

I am not even going to draw Homo floresiensis, my only hominid, because of how hard it is for me to draw humans. Besides, unlike with other animals, there isn't much to design for hominids, because there don't differentiate much from modern humans.

Excpet my Hatzegopteryx soon.
