Art (pic heavy)

And so the art thread was born (feel free to submit better ideas for names).

Post either:

-your own art
-famous art that you like (please do your best to credit the artist who made thepiece)
or just chat about your favourite palaeontology artists.

I think I'll put forward for your consideration one of my favourite current palae artists, Luis V Rey. He has become one of the most prominent artists of dinosaurs in recent years and his works decorate many books.
His colourful and dynamic style is easy to spot. They really look like action packed snapshots of a long gone world.

Some of my favourites:

Some Utahraptors don't get it all their own way when wrangling with an Astrodon:


A pair of carcharodontosaurines ambush a juvenille titanosaur:


Therizinosaurus grabs a bite:


Gigantoraptors defend their babies from a marauding Alectrosaurus:

Thought this thread was due a bump so here are a few scribbles of my own.






I have more lying around, but havent scanned them yet.

Knew it!

Can you check your Kosmoceratops vs Teratophoneus again? Not loading up for me..

Great pics all 'round. Love the dino made of dinos.

edit: actually, your other pic of Teratophoneus aint loading either

If you have any pics of anything non palaeontology related, feel free to post them in the off topic thread.

What is it with Teratophoneus?

Ok, let's try again:






There... I hope it works this time.

Where's the off topic thread?

As a totally inept person with a pencil can I just say "Bloody wonderful drawings Adam"

Seriously I am very very impressed. Well done mate.

WOW!

I am blown away by those, Adam.

Yes Please. If they are anything like the last lot I wanna see all of them mate. Brilliant stuff.

Excellent stuff. Worthy of being in a book.

That is no lie. I have reference books with less detailed pictures. The Chasmosaurus really stands out.

Erm... I better don´t answer; there's obviously a joke that I don´t get and I don´t wanna say something stupid.
