Also, I don't know this artists name, but real busts of these would just be an absolute dream come true.

That artist is Gabriel Lio. I don't care for his work, but you might like the Geoworld Troodon, which is based on Lio's drawing. Although, that was not a collaboration, merely plagiarism.

Ooh...James Gurney and Brian Engh would have to be in there, they have very different styles but are both spectacular. They both really bring their subjects to life. Franz Anthony, Henry Sharpe and Jonathan Kuo all produce stunning work too, though I suppose as the latter has involvement in the BOTM line i can't really include him

^Totally agree, Gurney's art would make for some beautiful figures. Also, I would definitely dig a series inspired by Ely Kish's art. It would be bizarre, but really something to look at given her style.

His works are a little old, outdated, and not really for everyone, but I honestly love Todd Marshall's Paleo Art. To see figures made with either his style or his colour choices would be an absolute dream of mine.

A couple of Papo dinos (Allosaurus and Baryonyx) are heavily influenced by Todd Marshall's work.

Something fairly similar is already done by Alexander Belov, check at Urzeitshop:

The latest Schleich Tyrannosaurus is based on a Kish's painting.

Halichoeres

Maybe you already know this, but the Safari Dinosaurs of China series (Mamenchisaurus, Therizinosaurus, and Yangchuanosaurus) was actually sculpted by Kish herself.

I recognised that T. rex from somewhere, but could not place it.

To be honest I would like to have toy dinosaurs based on my own drawings

This image in particular, I would say.

Reptilia

I was actually thinking to the painting Gwangi posted above when I said the Schleich Tyrannosaurus is inspired by Ely Kish's work. But then again, the image that tyrantqueen provided is identical to the Schleich model, so no doubt they took that one as reference. Is it by Ely Kish though? I can't find it if I search for "Ely Kish Tyrannosaurus", "Ely Kish dinosaurs" or "Ely Kish paleoart". It doesn't look much like her style to me.

Wow! Thank you for the picture  :)

All this time, I thought Schleich made some really weird humanoid looking T-rex. Now, I have more respect for Schleich's ability to reproduce artistic depictions. A few years ago, they've made a Giganoto that was inspired by Dorling Kindersley (DK).

Reptilia

You mean this? Imagine if Papo would use the same reference...  >:D

To my knowledge, the only T. rex Kish ever painted is this one:
