Go ahead!

Go ahead!

Here it is! Thanks for letting me post it here

[TheAllosaur]

Very good, I am doing one personally and I realized I forgot to add in the description that the helmets are usually decorated with feathers, but i'll do that with mine.
It's wonderful, the Srak (i've drawn one before) is perfect. It's great, mine will be on soon.

[TheAllosaur]

I have a lot coming, two weeks left in school and then freedom, and I have some upcoming ideas for All Yesterdays stuff...at last I have a all yesterdays idea...

[TheAllosaur]

I have put this off for far too long: my Srak on Saurobaun. It is for the book I am writing. I know it is a crappy image, but it was left in the sun and smeared but its better than nothing.

[DinoToyForum]

That's pretty awesome 

[TheAllosaur]

Thank you very much, Dr. Admin! It is a illustration for my book, which is similar to Lord of the Rings but with a lot of my own differences, some Dinosaurs known as "Saurobaun" and more. I have an albino elf king, dwarven assassins, Lizard-men known as Srak, and more. I hope I can someday publish it.

[TheAllosaur]

I am going to do a series of many of the dinosaurs/pterosaurs discovered in 2013, but first I am hopefully going to do the first illustration of the new theropod Aorun, and I have a long way to go with that.

I finially got around to art again! This is My Jurassic Park Ornitholestes, which I have worked on for a while.



Ornitholestes hermanni
Jurassic Park

7 feet
30 lbs
Late Jurassic
North America
Codename: Bandit, or Robber
Dangerous


Ornitholestes was made on Sorna but was never moved to Nublar until the 2014 park. It showed some strange abilites, including being able to change color within the colored patches, including green, orange, and gold. They show a primitive raptor claw, and often climb (and attack from)  trees and shrubs. Although sometimes harmless, they have attacked rangers.

Did this yesterday, Pentacertops sternbergii.

[Everything_Dinosaur]

Nice drawing, I really like the dynamic pose, the curvature of the brow horns intrigues me.   With so much fossil evidence to suggest they may have curved downwards, not sure why this would have helped this Ceratopsian - any thoughts?

[Everything_Dinosaur]

Nice drawing, glad you kept the nose horn, always the way I pictured this dinosaur, was a bit disappointed when it was thought it was a deformed naris.

[TheAllosaur]

About the downward curving horns, I thought on that while I was drawing it. I thought, maybe they acted as a "shield," making it difficult for a tyrannosaur to get to it's head from the front, or bite on it's horns. Another thing I thought of (and this was originally going to be part of the drawing) was that it could use them to throw deinonychosaurs or juvenile tyrannosaurs.
I didn't know about the whole deformed naris thing. I always thought it was definite for Pentaceratops.

[Everything_Dinosaur]

I am getting used to the layout of the forum, the naris reference is to the Ornitholestes drawing.  It was once thought to have a nose horn and we have worked with replicas that show a small bump on the nose, most famously depicted in the "Walking with Dinosaurs" episode two.  The original skull material was quite badly crushed and deformed and more recent studies have suggested that the horn on the nose may actually be part of the naris bone.  Our most recent work with this little Theropod was last year and we set up a little exercise where visitors could try to spot the difference between two life-size replicas. Our interest in the curvature of the Pentaceratops horns relates to some work we are doing on why Woolly Mammoth Tusks are curved whilst other elephants have straight tusks.  Hardly convergent evolution we know, but your diagram sparked a bit of a discussion here about how much curvature you might expect in dinosaurs such as Pentaceratops.  Great drawings.

[TheAllosaur]

Ok, so now that I know that it was in reference to my Ornitholestes, I knew it was unlikely that it had the little horn, but the Ornitholestes is for Jurassic Park, and I thought that maybe the genetic scientists tried to give it that, (and it's Jurassic Park, who knows.) and I think it is possible that Ornitholestes was related to Proceratosaurus, which did bear a crest. Just ideas. 

[TheAllosaur]

I have a Gigantspinosaurus/Leshansaurus in progress, and I hope to have it done soon.

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

I really enjoy viewing your art, especially your most recent, the pentaceratops. The patterning on it is simple, yet realistic and original.

[Yutyrannus]

Very cool new drawings!

[TheAllosaur]

Thanks to everyone for the compliments! I have finished the Gigantspinosaurus and plan to have it on within the next few days.

[TheAllosaur]

Leshansaurus tries to find a way past Gigantspinosaurus' massive shoulder spike.

It looks better, but the scanner messed up the shading.
