Thank you, guys.

Believe it or not, I had planned a follow-up to this. But after Chuck's comment, there will now be two; one will be a vicious Diplodocus.  Perhaps I should just make a series out of it.

It's funny you should mention Jekyll and Hyde, Chuck. I had already sketched a crane turning into something monstrous a while ago which I haven't yet continued. That was prompted by a very specific dA frustration.

Chris, Marc calls it 'Dinosaurs Attack, Classy Edition'. 

That sounds cool! Also I recently used the below picture made by you in one of my posts, is that okay with you? If not I will atempt to remove it.

@ Niroot... Yeah, yeah. But it would still be kinda cool to see what it would look like -- my exploding melon under several tons of pressure!

Hmm...   well, um ...  OK, crush Stoneage then!

lol that's a good way to put it !

Would love to see more.. If you want some inspiration try Don Glut's Dinosaur Invasion song : http://donglutsdinosaurs.com/dinosaur-tracks-again-album/

Not a dinosaur, but I figured you science folks would appreciate this. Besides, I know many of us here love extant animals.



The Higgs boson is all very well. I think I should prefer a Hugs Bison, however.

Egad, that is adorable. I think I shall share it on Facebook, if you do not mind My friends all seem to enjoy science, puns, and cute animals.

Not at all! in fact, if you could share it directly from its dA page, that would be wonderful. Thank you! 

[Metallisuchus]

That's the first extant animal art I've seen of yours and it's just as amazing as your dinosaur work. I'd love to see an Addax, Niroot-style 

[Himmapaan]

Thank you, Metallisuchus! I think I posted several extant animals on my old thread on V1, though most of those are several years old. I'm working on a book at the moment which involve plenty of extants, though I can't share anything from it yet. But perhaps I'll sneak one or two minor details here at some point.  I shall put the addax on the To do list. I'm very fond of ungulates.

Me too. Zoo Tycoon really peaked my interest in extant animals and now I'm very much into collecting them (ungulates), although I only have a few as of the moment. I remember you commenting on how you'd love an addax when I suggested for Harriet to make one, so I thought it would be just as great if you drew one.

Ahh, I just noticed his 'arm' wrapped around her as well. It reminds me of Ferdinand the Bull -- though his presence was somewhat disconcerting at first site, his sweet and loving nature won them over! He also has a touch of one of The Wild Things in him IMO. Remember that book and now also a film, "Where The Wild Things Are"? It was one of my childhood favorites!

Just wonderful again, Niroot! Thanks for sharing him!! 

[Arioch]

Very cute (and clever ) !

[postsaurischian]

   'The Hugs Bison' is oh so mellifluous and would be suited wonderfully to a Miyazaki concept movie - love it!

[Himmapaan]

Thank you, guys.

Chuck, no self-respecting book illustrator can ever forget Where the Wild Things Are, or its creator, Maurice Sendak, who sadly died two months ago.

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Sorry for this late response, Niroot. But yes, it was very sad news for me as well. I felt as if a bit of my childhood was taken away forever.

I was very lucky a couple years ago to come across a TV special, on PBS I think, that followed the behind the scenes creation of a modern dance troupe's new show based on one of his stories. He had his hands in quite a bit of it's development. Artistically, I remember he designed the huge painted backdrop and their costumes. Just fascinating! I think that was the last time I saw or heard anymore from him until of course his death.

[Himmapaan]

Do you remember which of his stories it was?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Could be on this list from Wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Sendak

[Meso-Cenozoic]

OK, did a little research. It wasn't based on one of his stories like I had thought. The work was a collaboration between him and the contemporary dance company, Pilobolus, about the Holocaust called "The Selection". The documentary I saw on it is called, "Last Dance", which is a 2002 film (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0316160/), but I only caught it on TV a year or two ago.

Here's a clip from it...

I hope you get a chance to see the entire documentary one day. Like I had said, I found the work process and the behind the scenes 'discussions' fascinating. I'd love to see the actual performance live one day. I have always been in awe of Pilobolus!

[Himmapaan]

Ah, thank you for that, Chuck!

In a follow-up to the human-munching T. rex, here are two sauropods doing horrid things to people who very much deserve them, as promised.

WOW!
