Yutyrannus's Prehistoric Art

[Yutyrannus]

I'm betting someone's going to find a pachycephalosaur with feathers eventually.

I wouldn't doubt it
assuming something had feathers is becoming the new "conservative assumption"

[Yutyrannus]

Good, it should be .

[stargatedalek]

indeed
retrosaurs have their time and place, but its great to see lots of accurate paleoart around, yours is always great

[Yutyrannus]

Thanks!

Here is the king of the Cretaceous South Pacific :

Taniwhasaurus

Again this is for one of the Mesozoic series Balaur and I are working on (in this case Mesozoic Earth).

[Balaur]

Wow! That has to be among your best drawings!

[Yutyrannus]

Probably because it is now one of my favorite mosasaurs . Hopefully the Pannoniasaurus and Platecarpus turn out just as good. Oh, and also the colors of the Taniwhasaurus are based on the minke whale.

[Balaur]

I thought that was orca colouration. Either way, it fits really well with the animal.

[Yutyrannus]

The Platecarpus will have orca colors. I actually just finished drawing it this morning so I'll probably color it soon.

[Yutyrannus]

Here's a new one for Mesozoic, my orca mosasaur:

Platecarpus

It's no where near as good as my Taniwhasaurus, but I still like how it turned out. Unfortunately, however, I forgot orcas had a white jaw until after I finished coloring the picture .

[Balaur]

Nice one! When swimming, the flippers would be out to the sides like whales though. Right?

[Yutyrannus]

Oh, yeah, that's just how a drew it. It would swim with its flippers to the sides.

[Balaur]

That makes since. I actually like that the jaw isn't white, because it's not a total copy of the killer whale colouration.

[Yutyrannus]

Yeah, it does look pretty cool that way.

[Yutyrannus]

I fixed the tail fluke on my Platecarpus:


I think it's better now.

[Yutyrannus]

And another mosasaur for Mesozoic Earth:

Carinodens

Coloration based on the spectacled dolphin.

[Balaur]

Another good one!

[Yutyrannus]

Thanks! I just realized the only mosasaurs I have left to draw and color are Hainosaurus, Plioplatecarpus, Dallasaurus, and the two Pannoniasaurus .
