Balaur's Dinosaur Art

[Concavenator]

If anyone can guess what this is on the first try correctly, I'll be impressed.

Edit: When I was younger (like 8 or 9) I made a big panorama of the fauna of Hell Creek. Nonetheless, it is horrible, but still fun to look at. It features Ankylosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, Quetzalcoatlus, Saurornitholestes, Anatotitan (now Edmontosaurus annectens), Dracorex (now Pachycephalosaurus), Chirostenotes (now Anzu), Leptoceratops, and Ornithomimus. The animals are so shrink wrapped, its like their anorexic. The Tyrannosaurus lacked feathers, and the raptors and oviraptorosaur lack primaries (and wings all together), and the pterosaurs lack pycnofibers. I am aware now some of these animals did not live in Hell Creek. So, I am redoing it.

It will have pretty much all the animals from the original, but Saurornitholestes will be replaced by Acheroraptor, and Parasaurolophus will be cut out. I can't say too much else sense it is very early in the process (I haven't even drawn anything yet) but it will be awesome.

A Baryonyx?
BTW,you should do a Dilophosaurus.

[Balaur]

No Baryonyx. It's not a dinosaur. Note the tail.

I might do one soon.

[Yutyrannus]

HyPtA A or B?

[Balaur]

Your right on something to do with pterosaurs, but, no.

[Yutyrannus]

Ancestor of pterosaurs?

[Balaur]

I'll be nice and reveal it. No. It is not an ancestor of pterosaurs, it is a pterosaur. This is a hypothetical look at what happened if the meteor didn't hit. Maybe they become so terrestrial, they look like their ancestors. Note how thick the legs at the feet are. The toe that sticks out still sticks out, but is very tiny. Note the fourth finger pointing to the side. That used to be the wing finger. No more.

[Yutyrannus]

Oh cool!

I have a new series about the Mesozoic. Titled, Mesozoic, and it is in chronological order. Just finished the first episodes last sequence.

The head and neck reminded us of the Leaellynasaura seen in the Walking with Dinosaurs - polar forest episode.

[Balaur]

The Pannoniasaurus sequence of the Mesozoic spin-off, Mesozoic Earth.

[Yutyrannus]

Very cool! I like the idea of mosasaurs eating berries. Also thanks for keeping the manatee idea!

[Balaur]

Thanks. I based the berry eating on that study showing crocodiles eat a lot of fruit.

[Yutyrannus]

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about that.

[Balaur]

Here are the first batch of some stories on Troodon I wrote. They don't have a set length, so some and very short, while others will be moderate in length, or very, very long. More to come.

[Balaur]

Here is a Dallasaurus (sort of) centric story.

[Yutyrannus]

Very cool! Reminds me a lot of Planet Earth.

[Balaur]

Well, the series is named and based off of Planet Earth.

[Yutyrannus]

I know, you did a good job of making it similar . I'll try to do the same when I start writing stories for it.

[Balaur]

Sounds good! There will be a few stories featuring no animals as well.

[Balaur]

Okay. This the most speculative thing I've ever done. Seriously. I extrapolated the gigantothermy in leatherback sea turtles, and guess what I came up with?
