'Himmapaanensis'

The Ultimate Dinosaur Book has some that depict JUST plants. Obviously it's from the 1990s but still relevant. I should scan them for you.

Ah, that would be so kind! Thank you!

The book "Prehistoric Life" has quite a lot of information about prehistoric plants from different time periods along with illustrations.

Do you have the author's name, John?

Thank you!

[brontodocus]

I'd like to recommend that book, too! I've just seen it on amazon.uk for as little as £19.50!

[Himmapaan]

I shall put it on my wishlist forthwith!

[KeU]

Yeah, getting to see many pieces of work.
A couple I have never seen before...

So Niroot, when is your book of dinosaur illustrations hitting the presses?

Exactly what I'm curious about.

Hehe, I don't know about a formally commissioned book, but I'm certainly considering the idea of perhaps self-publishing a collection of these drawings. The forum will be the first to know if such a thing comes to fruition, I promise. 

By the way, I decided to change the thread name to that of my saurian blog (see signature). Whilst I love the Austen quote of the original thread and still regard it as apt for my work on the whole, I think the incongruity for most dino folk is probably too puzzling. Besides, new forum and everything... I was going to mention it the next time I posted more work, but now there are new comments.  So I'm sorry for any confusion (not one most people haven't been able to work out, I'm sure...).

I guess your going to keep hearing it until something is actually there..lol

You know I think it would be cool to see your take on some mini-stories.. ala Delgado's AoR series. Maybe just a page or two long. Eventually you could put them into a book.

You're one of the few people who actually want a book full of silly dinos, Chris, so I'm always very touched by your continued enthusiasm!

Well, you may remember my tentatively musing on that very idea over on V.1...  Especially as I've grown very fond of little Gibran (the Olorotitan infant). It will be near impossible to come up with anything remotely new in terms of themes though.

I don't think it would be silly at all! And I also don't think the few people who would want that would really be that few... actually I believe you could be quite successful when you publish your artwork in a book.

Oh heck, Brontodocus is right: Not a few. Nope. More like the entire forum and others would want a copy. I know I would like to see it in a few museum gift-shops personally. I'd even buy it if it were a silly childrens' book. You're constantly impressing me with both your dinosaurs and non-dino themed artwork. I'd even shell out money for a field-guide sketchbook-type of book.

Well there you go..there are more than a few interested.  

The Olorotitan story would be great ! You've come up with Dino versions of many of your friends here..perhaps take some of their stories and base them in prehistoric times ?   hehe !  ....with your art I don't see a problem rehashing some old themes with dinosaurs ..heck we could even help come up with something here if you want...make it another forum-based project ?  I bet you could even get our great founder to write up a foreword for you..

NOT a few !!!

[dutchdinolover]

Stunning! I would be interested for sure when you desided to gather them in a book 

[0onarcissisto0]

Hahahahaha, Niroot, I absolutely love that Brachiosaurus that fends off predators with sheer awesomeness.

[Himmapaan]

Thank you so much for all your enthusiasm for this (yet unborn) book!

Jeb, thank you; that's one of my personal favourites, too.


Just a small sketch of a Tenontosaurus (or 'Teanantosaurus', to be precise) included in a note.   



Please visit this blog entry if you'd like to find out more. 

[Gryphoceratops]

I love the life your drawings take on.  Truly lovely.

[Arioch]

That´s really cool. Although it was most likely bipedal, I dont think that posture would be unachievable...

[Himmapaan]

Thank you both! Oh, dear, when did Tenontosaurus become bipedal without my notice now? 



Hmm, what have we here?



I had hoped to just share this one when it was completed, but having got this far, I grew rather excited.
