Balaur's Dinosaur Art

[Yutyrannus]

The Baurusuchus is my favorite, it is awesome!

[Concavenator]

Awesome drawings! I love that Australian Spinosaur! 
I also have plans for a spinosaurid,a Suchomimus.I'll have to do it soon 
...Btw,will you draw Suchomimus sometime?   

[Zhuchengotyrant]

Nice job, I should post my drawings to, I'll do it later, when its finished you should see it! 

[SpartanSquat]

Nice job dude! I really like baurusuchus colour pattern

[Balaur]

Thank you all! I love the Baurusuchus too. I tried to get away from "all crocodilians are dull and boringly coloured" as much as possible. It looks like a tiger to me.

I don't have any intent to draw a Suchomimus or any other spinosaur for a while. Excpet to see a Cycnorhamphus soon with its whacky jaws!

[Balaur]

Well, it's been an incredibly long time since I posted anything here, and I have two new pictures for you guys.


A very colourful male Scuttellosaurus dances to attract a female.


An Ichthyostega on land.

[Yutyrannus]

I really like the Ichthyostega !

[Balaur]

Thanks! I am currently working on my special Halloween pictures. I an putting in as much detail as possible, hence why it will take a while. My two Halloweeny pictures are described below.

- An injured dromaeosaur with feathers and quills like those found on Beipiaosaurus. I am trying to create a very creepy atmosphere with this one.
- A "laughing" potoo Anurognathus at night. The potoo look on the Anurognathus was inspired by two adorable drawings of potoo like Anurognathus by Maija Karala on Deviantart.

I also will be doing very specila pictures for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure he found his mate.

Also, I have more news on my Halloween Picture. My dromaeosaur I'm depicting is Austroraptor, and it is very sick, in a very bad way. I am proud to say that this is a zombie dinosaur!

Well sort of, when I post it I'll talk about the parasite that causes its zombie like behaviour.

[Yutyrannus]

Cool !

[Balaur]

And finally, I am presenting you with my very special Halloween picture. My Zombie Austroraptor.



It is a cold Cretaceous night. The wind blows, and sends chills up your spines. You hear something dragging on the ground. A gigantic feathered Austroraptor is dragging its right foot, from which it bleeds. He then collapses, shaking the rocks and making you jump back in fear. You notice six mosquito like insects jumping around and biting him. He froths at the mouth, dropping buckets of orange/red saliva onto the ground. He growls and snarls. He enjoys the insects biting him.

Okay, so what I have here could also be put in the All Yesterdays category. It's time for 'splainen!

So, it all revolves around the insects you see in the picture. They resemble mosquitoes, but they are actually unrelated, and are flightless. They are quite large, a quarter the size of an iPad. They are infected by a parasitic nematode (roundworm). This nematode basically controls the minds of the flies to bite and purposefully infect theropod dinosaurs with the nematode. After that, the dinosaur will stay normal, but the first symptoms appear after three days. The animal will become more tired, extremely briefly become aggressive and snap and shake its wings around for a few seconds at anytime, and be more active at night (nocturnal animals don't because they are more active at night )
It isn't until six days later that it takes full effect. Austroraptor usually hunts fish, and is in swampy environments. It's eyes are usually a deep blue. However, when it takes full effect, they are spending more time away from their environment, and they eyes turn orangish/reddish. However, the violent behaviour is only triggered if the host spots another theropod. They get extremely aggressive, and bite the animal once, before running off. A very violent zombie should kill right? Well, the nematode somehow "controls the mind" of the theropod to not kill its potential host.

So, my halloween picture.

Also, I am taking a break from my Age of... series pictures to work on my WWD Series.

Bonsoir, mon ami.

[Yutyrannus]

This is quite cool!

[Balaur]

Thanks! It did take me about a week to finish the picture, but I still need to make sure my idea sounded plausible. Right now it is in the edge of plausibility, but hey, we will never know everything about the past.

[Yutyrannus]

Also, what happened to that All Yesterdays book you were making? Because I  think this would fit in well .

Life intruded. 

Unfortunentally for me, a lot of things I end up doing don't come to fruition, that All Yesterdays book included. Also, my art from the tume I drew pictures for the book, and my art now, has improved so much, that it would be almost overwhelming. however, there is a chance I can do the book, just a shorter version. After Dinosaur Cove probably.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Anyways, I am going to talk about my WWD series (which could probably not be made into a book) now.
I am going to keep my Ornitholestes design. I will also keep my Utahraptor design, until the new skeletal of Utahraptor is released to the public.

Which means I have the following to still do -

Placerias
Cynodont
Plateosaurus

Diplodocus
Stegosaurus

[Balaur]

I am preparing my Thanksgiving drawing (gobble, gobble) but I need slight help. I am going to draw a turkey-esque theropod, but which one? It was to be from the US, as Thanksgiving it celebrated in the US.

Also, I have a Leaellynasaura I drew wearing a santa hat (not for Christmas) and it is possibly the most adorable thing ever.
