Maybe I can tackle it in 1/20 scale.

That would be cool too!

Would people be interested? I think I'm doing a good job with my Barylambda, almost finished. I believe I have the chops to make an epic Rhomaleosaurus.

Catching up on so many threads since I've been back. Nice additions, Dr. Adam! I have an older Wacom Tablet. I wonder if it might be compatible with my MacBook Pro, since my Mac is about 4 years old. (I know, ancient in the computer world!)

Only now found this thread. Must say you are an accomplished artist and researcher! Wonderful illustrations! Only now got myself a tablet for drawing. Will see how it goes!

I'm working on a new piece for Warwick Museum, an illustration of the basal tetanuran Cruxicheiros. It still needs some work but here it is so far: comments most welcome!

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Yay for more basal dinosaurs !!!!

Wow I checked the paper not much material to go on for this guy. I am always amazed how palaeontologists can piece together an animal from so little fossil material.
So looks good to me.
But I have to admit I am old school and I still prefer your original pencil sketches from plesiosauria.com. I find a pencil sketch has a more organic feel that the computer stuff, I know I am a dinosaur.

It's a scrappy fossil but I guess they are putting it on display! I've based it on Megalosaurus. I know what you mean about the pencil illustrations but the digital art is so much more convenient and allows one to be much more experimental. When I've finished this I'll share the various stages to show how easy it is to tweak and change as one goes along...

More recent version of the Cruxicheiros:

[DinoToyForum]

Yes another iteration of the Cruxicheiros!

[triceratops83]

Very cool! I like the second one the best, it's got nice detailing and the light reddish colour works well.

[Kayakasaurus]

I see you changed the shading, the only thing I would suggest is to define the small scales better now or decrease the visibility of the bigger scales. There is to big of a gab making the bigger outlined scales look like they are on a different layer. I hope I said that right  I think the middle one is my favorite, good job 

[DinoToyForum]

Thanks for the comments!

Nice job so far, Adam! I have never heard of a Cruxicheiros before. But from the other comments, it sounds like it's a bit new to most. Hehe! Looks like you're getting real comfortable now with your drawing board. Did you say you were using a Wacom tablet?

I also like the most recent reddish version with the tiny scaling details. The only thing I'm seeing that I question at all is the far right hand looks a bit pronated. I'm seeing more of the back of the hand when we should be seeing a little more of the inside of the palm? Could just be the way I'm interpreting it. Otherwise, it's a really nice clean piece! For me, I'd add a bit more skin folds/creases to some more of the joint areas. For example, the knee and toe areas look especially smooth right now. But it also just might be the type of art you're wanting to depict -- more graphic than realism. As is though, it's a really nice design and I'm happy to see a new work from you. I've always thought you were a very gifted artist. Good to see your talent being utilized again!

Someone got a tattoo of one of my artworks (without my permission). I'm not sure whether to be honoured or angry.

Well, you know the old saying about "imitation being the sincerest form of flattery" ... there's truth there ...

Well, I guess this is what happens when you allow people to discuss bootlegged figures; the bootleggers 'bootleg' your artwork as tattoos 

[tyrantqueen]

He probably just found it through google and didn't bother to look up the original artist

[Patrx]

You'd think someone with such an avid fascination with plesiosaurs as to have one tattooed on their own body would have come across plesiosauria.com at some point.
